//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

• autoreply: Honor RFC 2812.
• Don't connect to SSLed IRC servers when ZNC is not compiled with SSL
• Fix check if compiler supports visibility

Minor Stuff

• server-time 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.

• identfile: Pause the connection queue while we have a locked file
