//TODO: need to reword almost every line here...

The Big News

//TODO: describe items of this section in many details.

• Multinetwork.
• Flood protection. Rate-limit.
• Timezones. TimezoneOffset is deprecated.
• ZNC-Extra no more. Drop antiidle, fakeonline and motdfile. Rename away module to awaystore to better explain its meaning.

Fixes

• Don't try IPv6 servers when IPv6 isn't available. Get rid of c-ares. Use threads for non-blocking DNS instead.
• Fix debug output of identfile. Template:Git
• Don't forward WHO replies with multi-prefix to unsupported clients
• Send nick changes to clients before we use call the OnNick module hook
• Don't connect to SSLed IRC servers when ZNC is not compiled with SSL
• Fix check if compiler supports visibility
• Fix compilation on cygwin again, including modperl and modpython
• Support parting several channels at once
• Fix a crash in admin (now controlpanel) module
• Fix webadmin to deny setting bindhost not from the global list of allowed bindhosts.

Minor Stuff

• Rename admin module to controlpanel to make it clearer that it's not the same as admin flag on a user.
• server-time (mirror) capability, which allows clients supporting this capability to show timestamp from buffers where it usually shows timestamps. So no ugly doubled timestamps anymore.
• Modules can support several types now: a module can be loaded as user module, as network module and as global module, if the module supports these types.
• Rename (non-)KeepBuffer to AutoClearChanBuffer
• starttls (manually for now)
• Improvements to modperl, modpython, modtcl.
• Add timestamp to znc --debug
• Listeners editor in webadmin
• Rename saslauth to cyrusauth, to make it clearer that it's not needed to do SASL authentication to nickserv.
• Modules get a way to describe their arguments.
• webadmin: allow edit bindhost without global list.
• Don't send our password required notice until after CAP negotiation
• Rewrite the JOIN channel logic, dropping MaxJoins Template:Git (need to revert it?)
• Support messages directed to specific user prefixes (like /msg @#channel Hello)
• Show link to http://znc.in/ from web as a link. It was plain text before.
• Webadmin: use HTML5 numeric inputs for numbers.
• Add SSL/IPv6/DNS info to znc --version
• Clarify that only admins can load shell module.
• cyrusauth: Allow creating new users on first login
• Clear channel buffers when keep buffer is disabled if we're online
• send_raw: Add a command to send a line to the current client
• webadmin: Implement clone user
• autoreply: Honor RFC 2812.
• Add 381 to the buffer ("You are now an IRC Operator")
• identfile: Pause the connection queue while we have a locked file
• Add ShowBindHost command
• autoop: Check for autoops when we are opped ourself
• Improvements to partyline module
• Check that there're modules available on startup. Check if ZNC is installed or not.
• Modified description field for bouncedcc module to explain what the module actually does.
• nickserv: support also wenet.ru's and rusnet's nickserv requests.
• send 422 event if MOTD buffer is empty
• route_replies: Handle much more replies
• Clear text colors before appending timestamps to buffer lines
• Don't replace our motd with a different servers motd
• webadmin: Add a "Disabled" checkbox for channels
• Send a 464 ERR_PASSWDMISMATCH to clients that did not supply a password
• Separate compilation and linking for modules.
• Trim spaces from end of commands to autoattach.
• nickserv: add ghost, recover and release
• Warn if config was saved in too new version.
• Backup znc.conf when upgrading ZNC.

Internal Stuff

• #include <znc/...h> instead of #include "...h"

• Wrap MODULECALL macros in a do-while
• Don't require CTimer's label to be unique if its empty
• Allow loading python modules with modpython (ex. modname/__init__.py)
