 NMDC's smaller community has standardised around comparatively few protocol implementations by means of necessity. In comparison, there are a lot of IRC client implementations with slightly differing interpretations of the protocol.

 =CHANGELOG=
 
+2016-05-10 1.1.0
+- Feature: Support renaming own client during connection (`/nick`)
+- Enhancement: Option to set Hub-Security nick (needed for initial CTCP, upgraded after upstream connection)
+- Compatibility: Apply user-agent-specific hacks for mIRC and Atomic clients not nicely handling PRIVMSG with blank sender 
+- Compatibility: Better heuristic detection for client tag extraction
+- Fix an issue causing the default client tag (nmdc-ircfrontend) to briefly appear in the NMDC user list, by (briefly) delaying the upstream join unless CTCP VERSION response comes in
+- Fix an issue generating malformed version numbers in NMDC client tag
