+       * Added support for the new identifier strings and their
+         validity checking.  Nicknames, channel names and usernames
+         can now include practically any kind of letters and various
+         other characters.  Affected files in silcd/ and in libraries.
+
+         NOTE: comparing these strings should now be done with memcmp()
+         to check binary compatibility.  All these strings are normalized
+         and casing is irrelevant.
+
+       * Added silc_identifier_check to lib/silcutil/silcstrutil.[ch]
+         as easy function for applications to check whether identifier
+         strings are valid.
