defines IRC_USER, IRC_GROUP which is a string specifiying what user name/
group name that should be changed into, instead of a hardcoded gid/uid.
This should make it easier for packaged binary releases to work (even
though this probably means Debian will take us in, ick .. Can't we pull
a new fight with debian-legal again?)

will be backwards compatible as well, SJOIN doesn't care (TM) and mode
doesn't either in case of a server sending it. So this will be just a
client protocol modification.
when trying to /connect to a server with wildcards (* and ?) in the link
block. We also raise an error if link::options::autoconnect is used
together with wildcards in hostname.
file descriptors being leaked upon every /REHASH.
So if you, for example, had 3 modules loaded and rehashed 30 times, it would cause
the ircd to consume 60 useless file descriptors (which often means 60 less file
descriptors being available to clients).
new commands SVSNOLAG/SVS2NOLAG (syntax: SVSNOLAG [+|-] NickName). Obviously, care
should be taken when giving such access to a user since he/she will be able to flood
at full speed and could possibly take down the entire IRCd (well, everyone on it).
Suggested by avb, coded by djGrrr.
- Fixed bug where omitting class::connfreq would result in a huge connection attempt
flood when autoconnect was enabled. We now set class::connfreq to 60 if it's not
specified. Reported by Milliways (#0003018).
error, reported by Bock (#0003114).
- Added information about extbans to help.conf (/HELPOP ?EXTBANS). Patch from Bock
(#0003113).
- Made SAPART work for mulitple channels, just like SAJOIN. Patch provided by Bock
(#0003064). This also fixes SAPART now being announced to all opers globally, just
like SAJOIN.
- Finally fixed /RESTART issue on windows for good, should now always restart correctly.
Patch provided by BuHHunyx and Bock (#0002734).
- Fixed set::dns::bind-ip directive seen as duplicate, reported by aegis (#0003074).
- set::dns::* block is now no longer mandatory. All info has always been read from
/etc/resolv.conf (*NIX) or the registry (Win32), and the set::dns block is ignored
(except for set::dns::bind-ip, but that's a special case). Suggested by many including
djGrrr to make things slightly more logical (#0003019).
- As a consequence of the above, set::dns blocks were removed from doc/example*conf.
- Added two more characters to Catalan charset, reported by rmh (#0002995).
- Added set::pingpong-warning [yes|no] which decides whether to send the "** If you are
having problems connecting due to ping timeouts, please type /quote pong .." message
to each client when NOSPOOF is enabled (usually on Win32). The default is NO.
Previously this message was always sent if NOSPOOF was on, which often caused
confusion among users. The message was intended for non-confirming clients, but these
should be fixed by now, and those that were not fixed (self-made bots/etc) did often
not understand the message anyway. Anyway, you can still turn it on ;). (#2680).
