29     when set to yes

31     was to let ircops join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
32 michael 1441 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
33     with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD

42 michael 1245 -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
43 michael 1244 o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
44     have been done for this:
45     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
46     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
47 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
48 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
49 michael 1244 - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
50 michael 1274 channelmode +r (registered channel)
51     - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
52     client notices now go to new usermode +j
53 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
54     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
55     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
56     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
57     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
58 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
59 michael 1244 o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
60     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
61 michael 1315 o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
62     Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
63 michael 1274 are supposed to be doing
64 michael 1244 o) Idle-time klines have been removed
65     o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
66 michael 1274 o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
67     controlled via connect::flags explicitly
68     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
69 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
70 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
71     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
72     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
73     be hidden even on remote servers
74 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
75 michael 1315 o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
76     for inter-server communication.
77     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
78     connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
79 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
80     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
81     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
82 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
83 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
84     now sent by default
85 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
86     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
87 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
