  * wait for server connection confirmation before JOIN command.
   Problem was observed on irc.quakenet.org since it refuses
   to join or any commands before connection is confirmed by server. (Radoslav Dorcik)

  * feed polling now recovers from transient failures
  .
- * can poll a local file: uri as well as remote uris
+ * can poll a local file: uri as well as remote uris.
   Works if the uri is of the form "file:FILE", at least. Useful for testing
   and eg for announcing a feed generated from a darcs posthook.
  .
  * more robust new item detection, with some alternate strategies
    available via the --announce option. The choices are:
     topnew - new unseen items at the top (default, good for most feeds);
-    allnew - new unseen items anywhere
+    allnew - new unseen items anywhere;
     top    - any items above the previous top item.
  .
  * --idle option, waits for N minutes of channel idle time before announcing
  .
- * --delay now takes minutes, not seconds
- .
- * limit individual field sizes, preventing too many irc messages per item

   Most announcements should now fit in one irc message, and pretty much all
   should fit in two.
