Hi,
I think it should be noted in the »Support« section of the website, that
any feedback is appreciated even without subscribing to the mailing
list.
The text now doesn't state clearly that it is not necessary to subscribe
to the mailing list. This can be hurdle for some users.

Hi all!
Since our last ngIRCd release 14.1 on April 9 quite a few fixes and
enhancements have been developed and been integrated into our master
branch. So here it is: the first release candidate for ngIRCd 15:
The changes are:
- Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were
specified, so ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL
encrypted connections now.
- Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (insted of
the already implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
- New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default)
that enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT
and CONNECT on the local server.
- Mac OS X: fix test for packagemaker(1) tool in Makefile and use
gcc 4.0 for Mac OS X 10.4 compatibility in the Xcode project file.
- Fix --with-{openssl|gnutls} to accept path names.
- Fix LSB header of Debian init script.
- Updated doc/Platforms.txt and include new script
contrib/platformtest.sh to ease generating platform reports.
- Fix connection information for already registered connections.
- Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands.
This implements a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up
to 3 commands or 256 bytes per second before a one second pause
is enforced.
- Fix connection counter.
- Fix a few error handling glitches for SSL/TLS connections.
- Minor fixes to manual pages and documentation.
