-- Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.6 (2019-04-21)
o) Fixed issue with ssh banner scans where hopm would test connections only
    against the 'target_string' that's defined last in the scanner{} block

-- Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.5 (2018-10-14)

    conditions
o) The hopm process can now be restarted from the command line via "kill
-HUP"
o) Added --enable-efence switch to allow easy linking with the
    electric fence memory debugger library

    version announcement. Patch provided by falsovsky (Pedro de
Oliveira). See

o) Allow inclusion of other configuration files in the main hopm.conf
    file. See doc/reference.conf for further information on how to use
    the new .include configuration directive.

    to detect everything and therefore even kill legit clients


-- Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.1 (2016-01-03)
o) Added 'command_queue_size', 'command_interval', and 'command_timeout',
    configuration directives to the options {} block. See doc/reference.conf

o) Various updates to the reference.conf; added updated 'connregex'
directives
    for ircd-hybrid in conjunction with user mode +F (far connect
