Hello world!

Here it is, a new release of ngIRCd: 0.7.5

Changes since 0.7.1 are:

- Fixed ban behavior: users which are banned from a channel can't no longer send PRIVMSG's to this channel (fixes Bug #47). - Fixed and enhanced the "penalty handling" of the server: commands that require more resources block the client for a short time. - Changed the internal time resolution to one second. - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept. This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP. - Fixed build problems under Mac OS X 10.3. - Use "-pipe" when compiling with gcc, speeds things up a little :-) - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening sockets of the server to a single IP address. - Suppress misleading error message of diff during make run. - Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd. - Fixed minor typo in debug output :-)
