53 >     channelmode +r (registered channel)

57 >   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
58 >   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
59 >   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
60 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
61 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
62 > o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
63 >   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
64 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
65 >   Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
66 >   are supposed to be doing
67 > o) Idle-time klines have been removed
68 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
69 > o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
70 >   controlled via connect::flags explicitly
71 > o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
72 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
73 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
74 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
75 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
76 >   be hidden even on remote servers
77 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
78 > o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
79 >   for inter-server communication.
80 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
81 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
82 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
83 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
84 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
85 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
86 > o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
87 >   now sent by default
88 > o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
89 > o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
90 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
