     This release addresses the problems mentioned recently on the mailing
list, as well as a minor security issue allowing users to keep usermode +r
after their nick was suspended or forbidden.  convert-db has also been
improved to avoid letting bad data (such as autokills with missing username
or hostname parts) into the database.

Changes in version 5.0.51
-------------------------
2005/04/02	convert-db now checks for more potential problems with the
		    imported databases before writing out the XML data.
2005/04/02	Fixed bugs when converting databases from old versions of
		    PTlink Services.
2005/04/01	Fixed handling of links to forbidden nicks when converting
		    Auspice databases.
2005/03/31	ChanServ KICK no longer allows Services opers to be kicked.
2005/03/31	Ensured that usermode +r is cleared from nicks which lose
		    their identification status (e.g. from FORBID/SUSPEND).
2005/03/31	NickServ SUSPEND now forces the user of the suspended
		    nick to change nicknames, as FORBID does.  Reported by
		    Dionisios K. <vonitsa_net at yahoo.gr>
2005/03/31	ChanServ now stops non-identified users from joining
		    channels with mode +R locked on.  Suggested by
		    Dionisios K. <vonitsa_net at yahoo.gr>
