	http://oomon.sourceforge.net/

The following changes are new in OOMon version 2.3:

        * Added an open HTTP POST proxy scanner.

        * Added config file "proxy-send:" and "proxy-match:" lines to
          support the new HTTP POST proxy scanner.

        * Added support for a config file "proxy-target:" line to
          direct the IP and port number to try to connect to when
          scanning for open proxies.

        * Renamed the "W:" line to "proxy-vhost:" and moved the
          sample line to a new sample scanners.cf file.

        * Added the "SCAN_MAX_COUNT" setting to limit the number of
          simultaneous open proxy scans to help prevent resource
          starvation.

        * Added the "SCAN_TIMEOUT" setting to limit the number of
          seconds OOMon will remain connected while scanning for
          open proxies.

        * Log all DCC CHAT and CTCP CHAT failures.

        * Deprecated "O:" lines with empty handle fields.

        * Fixed case sensitivity of top level domain spoof checks.

        * Added support for "EC:" lines for exluding entire user
          classes.

        * Added an optional field to "E:" and "EC:" lines for
          specifying what types of abuse to exempt.

        * Log when reloading the config.

        * After authenticating, notify bot masters if the OOMon is
          not opered up.

        * Refactored the config file reading code.

        * Added a PING/PONG protocol to OOMon linking code to help
          detect links that stop functioning.

        * Added DNSBL and PROXYSCANS watch types.

        * Added ".hlist", ".iplist", and ".ulist" commands.

        * Added a ".vclones" command.

        * Improved the performance of reading the server's K-line
          and D-line lists.  On servers with very large numbers of
          K-lines and D-lines, this should substantially decrease
          the amount of time it takes for OOMon to sync up.

        * Log when sending a KNOCK to a channel.

        * Improved the performance of the ".domains" and ".nets"
          commands.

        * Added a ".findu" command for elaborate user searching.

        * Refactored much of the trap code, allowing for more robust
          filters.

        * Added trap indexes for easier trap ordering and removal.

        * Added a NOTICES .watch type to allow users to monitor
          NOTICEs sent to the bot.

        * Added TRAP_CTCP_VERSIONS, TRAP_NOTICES, and TRAP_PRIVMSGS
          settings for the enabling/disabling of traps matching CTCP
          VERSION replies, NOTICEs, and PRIVMSGs directed at the bot.

        * Added SCAN_HTTP_CONNECT_PORTS, SCAN_HTTP_POST_PORTS,
          SCAN_SOCKS4_PORTS, SCAN_SOCKS5_PORTS, and SCAN_WINGATE_PORTS
          settings for configuring what port numbers to scan for open
          proxies.

        * Added the ability to monitor CTCP VERSION replies using the
          .watch command.

        * Added support for broadcasting commands to all linked
          OOMons:
             .kline@* 60 foo@bar mass temp kline reason

        * Don't kline users for services-detected clones if they are
          "E:" lined in the OOMon config.

        * Added support for a "D:" line in the config file to define
          a fixed TCP port number to listen to when initiating a DCC
          CHAT session.

        * Moved autoconf-related files to autoconf/ subdirectory.

        * Added DNSBL_PROXY_ENABLE setting for enabling/disabling
          DNSBL lookups.

        * Log the bot's quit reason to help diagnose problems.

        * Added support for special formatting tokens in kill/kline/dline
          reasons for clones, flooding, etc.  For example, to show the
          flood rate in the nick flood kill/kline/dline reason:
            .set nick_flood_reason nick flooding (%r)

        * Fixed help for "set watch_jupe_notices".

        * Moved sample "P:", "C:", and "L:" lines to sample remotes.cf
          config file.

        * Enhanced proxy cache hit code.

        * Standardized on O_NONBLOCK method for using non-blocking
          socket code.
