+# ZNC 1.6.2 (2015-11-15)
+
+## Fixes
+
+* Fixed a use-after-delete in webadmin. It was already partially fixed in ZNC 1.4; since 1.4 it has been still possible to trigger, but much harder.
+* Fixed a startup failure when awaynick and simple_away were both loaded, and simple_away had arguments.
+* Fixed a build failure when using an ancient OpenSSL version.
+* Fixed a build failure when using OpenSSL which was built without SSLv3 support.
+* Bindhost was sometimes used as ident.
+* `CAP :END` wasn't parsed correctly, causing timeout during login for some clients.
+* Fixed channel keys if client joined several channels in single command.
+* Fixed memory leak when reading an invalid config.
+
+## Modules
+
+* autovoice:
+    * Check for autovoices when we are opped.
+* controlpanel:
+    * Fixed `DelCTCPReply` case-insensitivity.
+* dcc:
+    * Add missing return statement. It was harmless.
+* modpython:
+    * Fixed a memory leak.
+* modules_online:
+    * Wrong ident was used before.
+* stickychan:
+    * Fixed to unstick inaccessible channels to avoid infinite join loops.
+
+## Internal
+
+* Fixed the nick passed to `CModule::OnChanMsg()` so it has channel permissions set.
+* Fixed noisy `-Winconsistent-missing-override` compilation warnings.
+* Initialized some fields in constructors of modules before `OnLoad()`.
+
+## Cosmetic
+
+* Various modules had commands with empty descriptions.
+* perform:
+    * Say "number" instead of "nr".
+* route_replies:
+    * Make the timeout error message more clear.
