Version 2.2:

date	   boog/enhancement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
08-13-00   - Changed the mode handling for scripting, so
             every single mode will be handed over.
	   - Added timeouts to resolves
08-05-00   - Added SWITCHNET to switch from the main to another
             network.
	   - Added LEAVEQUIT to leave all channels when signing off
	   - Added LEAVEMSG $QUIT, if set to $QUIT, the leavemsg will
	     be posted from the text to the quitmessage
	   - made a cronny script
07-20-00   - Added scripting (cgi-stylish)
             See the readme and the litte example script
	     in scripts/example.
	   - Added DCC Chat & Files
	     Allows you to dcc chat directly from the
	     bouncer and to receive/send files from and
	     to the shell.
	     DCCCHATS are to be enabled with
	     #define DCCCHAT
	     and DCC File send/receive with
	     #define DCCFILES
	   - IPv6 Support
	     psyBNC allows from version 2.2 the support
	     of IPv6 in every mean. This includes listening
	     and connecting to IPv6 hosts. Also implemented
	     is DCC CHAT6 and DCC SEND6, but this is
	     still experimental, and only hell knows, if
	     it will be solved the way psybnc uses it.
	   - Support of oIdentd added
	     psyBNC allows the method of ident spoofing
	     oIdentd supports. 
	     Use
	     #define OIDENTD
	     in the config.h File to enable it.
	   - Moved all single INI-Files to one config file
	     called psybnc.conf by default.
	   - Multiple Listeners
	     psyBNC can listen on as many ips and Ports
	     as which are defined in the psybnc.conf file.
	     This also allows to listen on an intranet ip
	     and not as it was in 2.1 only on ALL interfaces.
	   - Moved channels/names to internal 
	     This allows names and channelspecific informations
	     much faster to be sent to the user, and will
	     not create traffic on the server when the user
	     rejoins psyBNC.
	   - Reorganized string routines, reorganized socket
	     string builds.
	   - Invented an internal ircd into psybnc, which 
	     can be adressed by using int~ as token.
	     This will be shared thruout the linked
	     network of psybnc, and allows all modes
	     including kicks/bans/op/voice.
	     This was done to replace the old &partyline,
	     which still can be used by setting the 
	     compiling option.
	     The internal network can be enabled by entering
	     #define INTNET
	     and the old partyline channel by
	     #define PARTYCHANNEL
	     to the config.h File.
	   - Flood protection
	     The serverside socket will wait for a server
	     reply before sending additional strings to
	     the server. This allows sending many lines
	     of text without getting flooded. The maximum
	     same total number of bytes is set to 700.
	   - Singleusermode / Multiusermode
	     If Multiusermode is disabled, the login has
	     not to fit to the added user, only the
	     password is being checked. Also, the user
	     may not add any other users than himself.
	     Multiusermode gets defined with 
	     #define MULTIUSER
	     and singleusermode will be active, when
	     MULTIUSER is not defined.
	   - Anonymous Mode
	     This allows to open the proxy for anonymous
	     users, so every login would be successfull.
	     Will be enabled with #define ANONYMOUS.
	   - Dynamic Mode
	     This will kill the server connection after
	     a user signed off from the bouncer.
	     Will be enabled with #define DYNAMIC
	   - Provider Configuration
	     The shellprovider can define a global
	     psyBNC config.h by putting this into
	     /psybnc/config.h. On Compilation that
	     config will be used.
	   - Bugfixes in Networking
	     The user did not see modes or nickchanges
	     correctly on secondary networks.
	   - The possibility to switch networks off
	     by removing the NETWORK define from
	     the config.h, the user cannot create any
	     new Networks.
	   - Bugfixes in Parsing
	     Some Bugs in Parsing of IRC-Strings
	     could crash the bouncer.
	     This has been solved with 2.2.
	   - Wrote a menuconfiguration with GUI
	     for psyBNC.
	     Just use 
	     make menuconfig
	     to start it.
	   - Deleted the os specific makefiles and
	     replaced them with a selfdetecting 
	     configuration tool, which will sense
	     the abilities of the system.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
06-19-99   - The Nick was changed until regained
             This Function was thought as anticollide due
	     to the fact a nick is only lost in being a
	     collide victim. Changed this to an option.
	     Just use /quote acollide 0|1 to remove or
	     set Nick cycling after loss.
	     found by plato.
	   - The Partyline query to $NICK was lost 
	     when the ircnick was changed compared
	     to the login. This is fixed.
	     found by plato and hotacid.
	   - AskOp could flood the bouncer, when too
	     much bots where added. This version always
	     only asks one bot/bounce for op for every channel.
	     found by dracon and julze.
	   - changed the command /quote ADMIN to /quote MADMIN
	     /admin is a standard irc command and therefore
	     conflicts with the bounce command.
	     found by myself.    
	   - changed server-Ping-reply to asked content
	     Thats needed on spoof-checking irc-servers.
	     found by myself.
