This interface is scheduled to be changes "Real Soon Now"

sockselect(array of socket descriptors, timeout in usecs)

  was set /AWAY.
* The wrong cmd[] arg was being checked on a network /WHOIS.

* Drastically changed behaviour of 'this.quit()' to always imply broadcasting,
  and to fix how it handles netsplits.
* A server wasn't broadcasting SQUIT in some conditions.
* Opers were being restricted to 'max_who' responses from /WHO.
* Reduced the /WHOWAS and nick change history, 10000 was just way too big.

* Allow servers to dynamically connect via a network PASS command for QWK auth.
* Introduced new N:Line flags because of this: 'w' defines the local QWK-master
  for forwarding PASS messages to, and 'k' is used for defining which N:Lines
  should have their passwords checked by the QWK-master uplink.
* WHO now supports a Bahamut-style complex searching syntax.  If the user
  doesn't use the syntax, we do more intelligent searching based on the
  information passed to us.
* Allow opers to see all channels that a user is on via WHOIS.
--- Thus, ircd.js is now over 150k in size, 5000+ lines of code.

clients, servers, bots, or other neat stuff.  This is very much still in its
infancy.  Commited as per DigitalMan's sword. ;p

  N:Line flag.
* Fix SQUIT and netsplits so that multiple SQUIT commands aren't propagated
  across the network.  Netsplits now show the *actual* servers being split.
* Only process SQUIT commands coming from the appropriate *uplink* server,
  otherwise pass them forwards for processing.
* A user leaving the network via QUIT wasn't being propagated all the time.
* Cleaned up /STATS u as per DigitalMan's recommendations.
* Don't allow opers without the correct O:Line flags to /SQUIT remote servers,
  among other things.
* Deny incoming NICK commands from any server which has a server mismatch,
  and send out a KILL message for that nick.
* PINGs and PONGs weren't being propagated (as per /SPING in many clients.)
* Fixed client_add and client_remove calls, at the expense of a Synchronet
  port to the C64 and VIC-20.  Sorry guys, we tried :(

with bbs object (alias left for backwards compatibility).

* Slice off the : on a multi-server PING.
* Support /TRACE, finally!  What a pain of a command this was to implement,
  I assure you.  We take the Bahamut approach and never allow dumping of whole
  user lists.  This was the last unimplemented command.
* Added all of the last remaining unimplemented numerics.
--- As of now, ALL the numerics as defined in RFC1459 have been implemented
    one way or another in the Synchronet IRC daemon!  Furthermore, the command
    set as defined in RFC1459 is also complete, there no longer exist any
    unimplemented commands.

Services accept system shutdown control messages now.

* Allow the user to change nicks if the nick case is different.
* Fixed /STATS u, which was giving fractional answers for the ircd uptime.
* /LIST now accepts a channel as a valid argument, or a comma-seperated list
  of channels.  This is per RFC1459.
* Allow +p and +s channels to be seen in /LIST if the user is oper or a member
  of that channel.
* Allow users to disable SUMMON/USERS if they wish with a variable up top.
  This is mostly to implement the appropriate 'cmd is disabled' numeric, but
  gives someone the option if they don't want these commands enabled.
* Imagine that, more miscelaneous cleanup.

back to callback functions (e.g. lputs, thread_up, etc). This allows servers
to share the same callback functions, eliminating many nearly-identical
functions. This was able to shave quite a bit of redundant code from ntsvcs.c.
This feature is not utilized in sbbs (sbbscon.c) or sbbsctrl (mainformunit.cpp).

If you are not running your BBS as root, update and recompile now.

gmake THREADS_ACTUALLY_WORK=1
