Changes in version 5.0.19
-------------------------
2003/05/28	Fake hostnames are now handled correctly by the PTlink
		    protocol module.
2003/05/28	Services now checks in advance whether a protocol module
		    has been loaded, and aborts with an error message if
		    not.  Suggested by Mark Hetherington <mark at ctcp.net>
2003/05/28	Updated FAQ C.1 and added FAQ C.1.5 regarding errors which
		    can occur when saving the databases to disk.
2003/05/28	The ExpireTimeout configuration directive has been
		    deprecated, as it is no longer used.  This directive
		    will be removed entirely in the next version of Services.
2003/05/28	Added documentation to section 6 of the manual on how to
		    process messages received from the IRC network.
2003/05/28	The program name used in the /VERSION reply ("ircservices")
		    is now defined in version.sh for easier changing in
		    derivative programs.
2003/05/06	Clarified reasoning behind transfer-of-rights requirement
		    for submission of code or other changes.
2003/04/30	Fixed bug in OperServ JUPE command causing Services to be
		    disconnected from the network when juping an existing
		    server.  Reported by George Stamatiou <master at xchat.gr>
2003/04/30	Added CSRegisteredOnly configuration directive.  Suggested
		    by Stefan Hudson <hudson at mbay.net>
2003/04/30	Fixed (lack of) interaction between NickServ autojoin and
		    +i channels causing "cannot join channel" errors on
		    IDENTIFY.  Reported by Christopher Wilson <owner at candt.net>
