-Highlighted News in Anope 1.4
+Highlighted News in Anope 1.9
 =============================
 
-After the change from Epona to Anope
-------------------------------------
-  * New Italian Language file
-  * Added support for UltimateIRCd 3.0 and later
-  * Services realtime logging to a channel
-  * SuperAdmin directive for access to "super" commands.
-  * Ban system is now exception aware.
-  * HostServ for hostname masquerading.
-  * Smarter XOP System.
-  * Email verification/handshake upon registration.
-  * Services can now /ignore users.
-  * Smarter memo notification for channels.
-  * Channel can be SUSPENDed instead of FORBIDen.
-
-Before the change from Epona to Anope
--------------------------------------
-  * HostServ for networks that support them.
-  * UnrealIRCd support has been rewritten, it is now fully 
-    working (hopefully) and officially supported again.
-  * Added support for UltimateIRCd 2.8.2 and later. 
-  * A multi-threaded proxy detector that can scan Wingates, 
-    SOCKS 4/5 and HTTP proxies on ports 3128 and 8080. Don't use
-    it if you have not been authorized to use it by your system
-    administrator!
-  * The ChanServ AOP/SOP/VOP commands, and, on networks that
-    support halfops, the HOP command, have been added. They
-    allow a more user-friendly control of channel privileges.
-  * Use of services IDs that allow an user to be automatically
-    identified after a split (if he was identified before the split)
-    in a secure way. This also saves lots of bandwidth.
-  * Services' default language can now be set in services.conf.
-  * The OperServ RANDOMNEWS command provides an easy way to show
-    network news in a random manner without flooding your users
-    with them (one news per connection).
-  * The BotServ SET PRIVATE option allows services admins to 
-    make the bot usable by IRC operators only.
-  * The OperServ SQLINE command allows you to forbid nick masks
-    and even channel masks with the latest Bahamut.
-  * The ChanServ AKICK STICK command allows akicks to be permanently
-    kept on channel.
-  * The ChanServ SET TOPIC command has been renamed to TOPIC, and
-    a new BAN command has been added. They both have their own
-    associated levels.
-  * A SET PEACE command has been added to ChanServ. It prevents
-    users to use pejorative services commands (DEOP, KICK, ...)
-    on users with greater or equal levels.
-
-Networks using Bahamut must upgrade to Bahamut 1.4.27 or later, 
-while networks using UnrealIRCd must upgrade to Unreal 3.1.1.
