Changes from 0.9.5 to 0.9.8
===========================
* Added support for aborting automatically pending commands
that never receives the reply (to avoid memory leaks).
* Added support for removing explicitly added client connections
in rehash and closing the client connections if they were
unconfigured in the rehash.
* Rewrote WHOIS, WHOWAS and IDENTIFY commands in the server.
* If packet processing fails (like integrity check fails)
the connection is closed now.

if connection is lost to it.
* Added support for replying on behalf of the user to the
Requested Attributes in WHOIS command in the server.
* Failed OPER and SILCOPER authentications are now logged.
* Added sort-of "Quality of Service" (QoS) support. Data
reception can be controlled with rate limit per second
and/or read data length limit.
* Added support for encrypted private key files. Now passphrase
must be provided when new key pair is created , and prompted
when loading the private key.
* Resumed client packet handling from server put the resumed
client on wrong list on router and caused the client not be
present on the network anymore.
* Various cleanup in error message output in config parsing code
and in server init code. Fixed error log files containing too
many newlines in some situations.

o fix a problem with new ICB group name changes message format
o new /on icb_who and /on icb_motd
o all high control chars should be now properly filtered avoiding
pretend output
o fix help page bugs

I2CB icbd -- the Improved ICB Server
------------------------------------
ICBD is an online chat system which allows a large number of users
to participate in realtime online discussions. Among the features
of the ICB chat system are:
* Simple, fast protocol and efficient polling-based implementation
minimize `lag' effects
* Persistent user database allows authentication of nicknames,
storage of various user information, and leaving messages for
users who are not logged on at the moment.
* Any user may create groups, and exercise control over those
groups, allowing for a wide range of discussion styles. This
control includes making groups public or private, visible or
invisible, and moderated or unmoderated
* The fabulous, famous '/brick' command lends true interactivity
to the chat experience :-)
ICB (International CB) is a teleconferencing system that allows Internet users
to participate in realtime online discussions. This package builds a client
program (called, strangely enough, "icb") that is used to access ICB.
i2cb was enhanced to support IPv6 etc.
defeating that purpose, use control c to pop up the colour picker
instead. I'm not sure exactly when the gaim people changed this
(somewhere between 0.59.1 and 0.59.3), but I think it's rather ill
advised.
Navi2ch is a viewer program dedicated to chatting in 2ch.net - the biggest,
most famous, influencial BBS in Japan.
Although this software is really well-written, It's worth noting that most
opinions/informations found in 2ch.net are next to senseless. Thus, Good
NetBSD users are really encouraged not to devote themselves to 2ch! :-)
Some of the changes:
o More small bugs quashed. New /clearall command.
o Small bugs quashed in buddy offline acknowledgement and
queued message forwarding.
o Speed-ups in the playback procedures.
o General clean-ups for cross-platform compiles.
o On Tuesday, October 1, AOL's TOC servers began
periodically sending packets with a previously unused
frame type. naim does not know how to decipher these
packets, but version 0.11.4 was released with code
changes to simply ignore unknown frame types.
