+
 * HUB/LEAF binaries have been combined into 1 binary named 'wraith'
 * Rewrote config/botconfig from scratch as [bot]set with list support. See 'help set'.
 * Added dcc alias support, see 'help set' (only perm owner may set aliases as loops are easy and fatal)

+* Added cmd_version (does same as .botversion)
+* Added some debug logging for failed bind() listen() and getsockname()
+* Users can no longer whois PERM OWNERS unless they are themselves one.
+* cmd_find now takes an optional username instead of a nick!user@host to search for.

+  -Default binpath is now the directory the binary is first ran in
+  -Running the bot with -C will automatically update uid/uname/homedir/username
+  -Added cmd line param '-c' to avoid auto updating uid/uname/homedir/username

+* Added rate vars 'flood-msg' and 'flood-ctcp' to control how quickly a bot ignores on flood.
+* Added rate var 'flood-g' which will set +g for 60 seconds after this many msgs:sec has been detected. (#74)
+* Optimized WHO parsing more to alieviate some cpu usage in large chans
 * Binary writing is now a bit faster as the hash is calculated on the fly now.
+* Rewrote how logs are shared over botnet, now uses much less bw and resources. (#31)
