31     when set to yes

34 michael 1441 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
35     with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD

47 lusky 1580 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
48     following changes:
49 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
50     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
51 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
52 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
53 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
54     previously used usermode +r.
55     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
56     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
57     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
58 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
59     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
60     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
61 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
62 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
63     only be added via ircd.conf
64     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
65     privilege flags. Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what
66     these flags control
67     o) Removed Idle-time klines
68 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
69 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
70 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
71     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
72 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
73 michael 1315 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 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
78 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
79     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
80 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
81 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
82 michael 1418 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
