Hi,

This evening we've upgraded services to a later Atheme revision.  It
brings some functional changes that you should all be aware of:

For everyone:
 - Help text should not include references to functionality not in use.
 - New NickServ setting QUIETCHG allows you to opt-out of channel change
   notifications (OP, DEOP etc).
 - ALIS help now explains the available options.
 - ChanServ setting RESTRICTED allows restricted channels to people on
   the access list.  This replaces STAFFONLY.
 - Commands in emails are more compatible and consistant with Atheme
   online help.
 - ChanServ TOPIC will no longer set invalid topics.  This will prevent
   colour codes in topics.
 - Pending email address changes will be shown in NickServ INFO.
 - Users can cancel an email address change by setting it to their old
   address.
 - ChanServ DROP requires a confirmation to help prevent accidental
   drops.
 - Disallow adding templates with control characters.

For staff only:
 - Can use ChanServ SET to MLOCK oper only channel modes without having
   flag +s on the channel.
 - OperServ RMATCH limits the number of matches to 1000 without the new
   FORCE keyword.
 - Administritive account and channel drops should be done with the
   ChanServ/NickServ FDROP command.
 - NickServ FORBID command which registers, holds, enforces and freezes
   an account.  This cannot be used on already registered accounts.
