Main changes from 0.9.2 to 0.9.5
=================================
* Use the primary router as the origin of the locally connected server when
it is disconnecting from the backup router since that's where it really
is coming from. Now the clients from the disconnecting server are removed
correctly and "shadow" clients are not left to the backup router.
* If normal server is standalone and found existing but disabled channel, do
not re-create the channel since it creates duplicate same channels.
* Added anonymous client connections support to server. New "anonymous"
configuration option to ConnectionParams section added. If set to true,
the username and hostname information of the client will be scrambled and
anonymous user mode is set automatically to the user.
* In JOIN notify handling, mark that the cache entry of the client cannot be
expired. Can cause crashes on normal server (asserts client->channels).
* Added silcd configuration option Timestamp in the Logging section.
* Fixed fingerprint checking to check for entirely empty fingerprint instead
of two first bytes when determining if it is set.
* Remove server/router operator privileges in DETACH command, since it's
possible to resume to server where these privileges would not be allowed.
* Do not re-create channel keys and send them when removing clients in server
shutdown.
* Completed backup router support for standalone routers. Supports also
servers in the cell that do not use the backup at all. Server/router
operator now receives notify when network switches to backup router and
when it resumes the use of primary router.
* Added -D option to server. It can be used to give debug level. The levels
are from 0 - 99, and are predefined for smooth server debugging.
Patch submitted by Lubomir Sedlacik <salo@Xtrmntr.org> in PR 18278.
changes in the package since 0.7.3 to 0.7.6:
- rewrite of package's Makefile. big parts of INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts
were moved into Makefile itself
- silc-server now creates user silcd:silcd who run silcd by default
- INSTALL and DEINSTALL files are smaller and contains only neccessary
actions which cannot be executed from Makefile
- partial rewrite of rc script, added rcvar support, it is neccessary to have
silcd=YES in rc.conf now to start silc server (unless force is used)
- changed motd.txt to contain BSD daemon ;)
- updated patch-aa and patch-ab files
changes in the silc-server software since 0.7.3 to 0.7.6:
0.7.4: This version fixes a crash that can occur mainly on normal server.
Upgrading is recommended to avoid instability later. This version
also fixes the BAN and INVITE commands that were pretty much broken.
This version also disallows a situation where the nickname that server
sets initially for the client could be a bad nickname (like nick
including whitespaces). It used to be possible but now server checks
for this. Johnny also introduces a new logging system to this version
with log files being open all the time and not opened every time
something is logged, and log rotation support.
0.7.5: Hopefully fixed the most nasty bugs. I found bunch of weird bugs
that causes server syncing problems. Upgrading is strongly
recommended as soon as possible.
0.7.6: Only a minor bugfix release to fix the CUMODE command that allowed
non-founder channel users to remove modes of the founder, and to fix
GETKEY always return server's public key if it is requested, and to
fix the TOPIC_CHANGE notify to not route it twice to router.

Changes in the NetBSD's package from version 0.6.4 -> 0.7.1:
- upgrade to silc-server-0.7.1 (the main changes below)
the biggest change is the ipv6 support (new configuration file format is
needed, though)
- removed patch-ac because it was integrated into distribution
(patch-ad was moved in its place)
- completely rewritten rc.d script to use rc.subr instead and fixed the
problem with removing pidfile so now status) works fine.
- added default motd file
- INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts are cleaner and more useful, check for logs
directory before creating it, added motd.txt installing/removing.
- better and more helpful default configuration file (added Example:
sections for each variable)
- added examples/ directory containing sample configurations of various
scenarios into $DOCDIR
changes in the silc-server itself:
o Fixed WHOIS and IDENTIFY commands to return correct replies,
and correct error replies. This fixes various weird bugs
related to these commands.
o Send NO_SUCH_CLIENT_ID error notify if received private
message to invalid Client ID. It is guaranteed that if
private message is sent to unknown client, the sender will
receive a notification for it.
o Send the kicker's information in KICK command to the kicked
client.
o Fixed LIST command to return correct amount of channels.
This fixes the weird bug that LIST would show like 50 channels
and some channels multiple times.
o Channel topics, and users SILC modes are announced now during
server->router connecting.
o Implemented the founder authentication during JOIN command.
o Support for IPv6 based Server ID added.
o Memory leak fixes.
