There are no security fixes included, nevertheless all installations should update: ngIRCd 21.1 is fully backwards compatible and the update should be straight forward, no configuration changes are required.
First of all, i'm a total noob when it comes to IRC and understanding the subtleties of it. However, i use ngircd in the simplest manner as possible just to have a chat between friend, so nothing fancy, no password or anything. It's working fine for me with version 21.
I updated to 21.1 and it's a no go for me. I can't connect anymore, i have a "bad password" error. I guess it's coming from this change "Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but disabled.".
Did you check "ngircd --configtest"?
Please make sure that you havn't set any "Password" in [Global], and that you either havn't compiled in support for PAM (if you compiled it from source yourself) or that you configured "PAM = No" in [Options] (if you are using a binary that supports PAM).
