The following changes are new in OOMon version 2.1:

	* Added regular expressions support!  Use ".info regex"
	  command for more information.

	* Bot now logs more information when it is unexpectedly
	  disconnected from the server.

	* Code now compiles successfully with GNU C++ 3.2.

	* "^Bnickname^B is still being processed." notices from
	  SpamTrap are now ignored.

	* Changed /stats p reply to leave out the bot's nick.

	* Added BROKEN_HOSTNAME_MUNGING setting to support hostname
	  spoofing schemes like the one used by LinkNet.

	* Build and install process now supports the "--prefix=..."
	  configure script option.

	* Modified the .seedrand command's syntax to be more flexible.

	* Added .nets command that works like .domains but groups
	  clients by IP instead of hostname.

	* Fixed broken virtual host support.

	* Fixed the clone detection and k-lining routines.

	* Fixed the SOCKS4 open proxy detector.

	* Added a SOCKS5 open proxy detector.

	* Fixed how the configuration file parser handles filenames.
	  A filename with a leading '/' character is parsed as an absolute
	  pathname, while a filename without the leading '/' is parsed
	  as a relative pathname.

	* E: lines in configuration file are now matched against
	  client IP addresses (when available) as well as hostnames.

	* Fixed .clones command's output.

	* Bot should no longer kill opers for links looking, etc.

	* Added UMODE setting.

	* The .status command's output now combines the user counts
	  into one line.

	* Added STATSP_MESSAGE setting for sending a custom message
	  to clients who issue "/stats p".

	* Added up-time and connect-time values to .status output.

	* Added support for temporary d-lines.

	* Added ability to search only temporary or permanent k-lines
	  and d-lines.  Use ".help findk" and ".help findd" for more
	  information.

	* Added a .glist command for searching clients by their GECOS
	  field.

	* Added support for "-count" parameter to .list, .nfind,
	  .seedrand, and .glist commands.

	* The .status command's output now displays the number of
	  permanent k-lines and d-lines, in addition to the total
	  number of k-lines and d-lines.

	* Added the ability to search k-lines and d-lines by their
	  reason fields.  Example: .findk -reason /WAS+UP/

	* The bot now relays "KLINE over-ruled for ..." and "DLINE
	  over-ruled for ..." server notices.

	* Added a signoff message parameter to the .die command.

	* Added RELAY_MSGS_TO_LOCOPS setting so that messages to the
	  bot are relayed to all local opers via the LOCOPS command.

	* The bot will now automatically reload its k-line list when
	  it sees a "<oper> is clearing temp klines" server notice.
	  Same for the d-line list.

	* Added SMART_KLINE and SMART_KLINE_IP action types.  Use the
	  ".info actions" command for more information.

	* The .list, .nfind, .seedrand, and .glist commands now have
	  configurable output formats.  See the LIST_FORMAT,
	  NFIND_FORMAT, SEEDRAND_FORMAT, and GLIST_FORMAT settings.

	* Added support for the ETRACE server command.

	* The bot can now relay g-line requests, triggers, and
	  activates.  See the .watch command for more information.

	* Added an "info" help topic for miscellaneous information.
	  See ".help info" or just ".info" for more information.

	* Added DEFAULT_KLINE_TIMEOUT and DEFAULT_DLINE_TIMEOUT
	  settings.

	* The bot will now keep track of the number of client connects
	  that occur in 10 seconds and report when it exceeds a
	  configurable threshhold.  See the USER_COUNT_DELTA_MAX
	  setting.

	* The bot now caches proxy scanner results so that clean hosts
	  aren't scanned excessively.

	* Added more .watch types: STATS, JUPES, LINKS, MOTDS, INFOS,
	  TRACES, etc.

	* Rewrote much of the .trap command.  The command syntax has changed
	  but it is also much more flexible now.

	* The bot will now read the PID file when it starts and exit
	  if an instance of OOMon is already running.  This should
	  make it much easier to run OOMon from a crontab.

	* Added a .killnfind command that works much like the
	  .killlist command but by nick instead of user@host.

	* Added support for "Possible Flooder ..." server notices.

	* Added support for "... is a possible spambot" server
	  notices.

	* Added support for "Too many local connections for ..."
	  server notices.

	* OOMon users with "O" flags are now able to view settings and
	  traps.  Modifying settings and traps is still limited to
	  users with "M" flags.
