- This contains a number of (hopefully fairly small) changes which should round up, most of the fixes are config reading regressions introduced in rc4 as a result of race condition bugs found in rc3.
- A few years in the making, months in the testing, thousands of lines of code in the writing, we're finally done. 1.2.0 is ready for every day usage. A grand total of 0 issues have been reported since rc5, so we are confident that things should have settled down now, though we will remain ready to rectify any problems that arise.
- 1.2.0 is now recommended for usage.

IMPORTANT CHANGES:
* Channel aliases now work more like user aliases. This is a BREAKING CHANGE. $1 is now the fantasy command that was invoked, $2 is the first real parameter of the command. (in other words, adjust all your numbers up by one for channel fantasy commands).
* $chan in m_fantasy will be replaced by an empty string if used in a non-channel (i.e. user) alias.
* m_ssl_oper_cert and m_ssl_dummy are both gone, and merged into m_sslinfo - so you won't have to load so many SSL modules
* m_sslinfo is no longer in extra/. There was no need for it to be there.
* DNS now resolves multiple-answer DNS queries (CNAME, A) correctly.
RC3:
A changelog is attached for the curious, but as it's all really bugfixes big and small - all 1.2 users are STRONGLY advised to upgrade.
RC2:
All users of RC1 are STRONGLY recommended to upgrade.
Notable new features are
* Add fantasy:allowbots (to allow +B users to use fantasy <alias> commands)
* Allow forced nick changes to override mode +N, nicklock, etc
* Allow non-opers to use /MKPASSWD
* Add /SAKICK command (provided by m_sakick)
* Operoverride OTHERMODE is no longer required in addition MODEOP to op/deop/etc. people
This is primarily a fix-based release from 1.2b4.
* Minor memory leak
* Expire XLines when accessed, not just when matched, to prevent a large buildup of stale XLines
* Allow +l 0 (for use with things like +PlL #newchan)
* Fix poll socket engine to work correctly
* Fix undefined memory read on /stats :
* kqueue fixes
* Don't allow bad censor configurations to result in an infinite loop
* STARTTLS fixes
* Change numeric for +L to be easier to parse (and more standardised: freenode and others use this)
* Fix autoconnects triggering at the wrong time
* Numerous docs typos and updates
* Small security hole where /oper allowed /oper login <hash> to oper up
* Allow binding to all IPv4 IPs easily on an IPv6 compile
* Disallow silly messageflood parameters
* And more!
Convert m_shun and m_cban to use new XLine framework
Allow for custom prefixes to be used in /notice #chan e.g. &
/WATCH away notification
Exceptions for m_denychans.
userrec::HasPermission -> map of maps, for (even faster) access
