## [1.0.0-rc] - 2019-02-18
This release has a wide range of improvements and new features. Highlights include:
* Support for storing and replaying message history, via various protocol extensions: the `draft/resume-0.3` capability, the `CHATHISTORY` command, and a custom `HISTORY` command
* Confusables prevention for Unicode nicknames and account names
* User-customizable nickname protection schemes
* A SASL-only mode in which all clients must authenticate with SASL
Our v1.0.0 is finally here! Well, almost. The final v1.0.0 should be released in a week or two, after our last bits of testing is complete and the documentation has been double and triple-checked. This version rounds out most of our need-to-haves, and leaves us with a bunch of nice-to-haves that we'll be looking at going forward. Thanks to all of our amazing translators and contributors for the work they've done this release (we'll have a proper thanks section when v1.0.0 drops).
Highlights include:
* Support for storing and replaying message history with: the [`draft/resume-0.3` capability](https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/306), the `CHATHISTORY` command, and a custom `HISTORY` command.
* Better detection of confusing nick/account/channel names.
* User-customizable nickname protection methods.
* An account-only mode in which all clients must have an account and login to it (using SASL) before they can join the server.
