465 lusky 1580 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
466     following changes:
467 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
468     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
469 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
470 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
471 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
472     previously used usermode +r.
473     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
474     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
475     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
476 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
477     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
478     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
479 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
480 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
481     only be added via ircd.conf
482     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
483 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
484 lusky 1580 these flags control
485     o) Removed Idle-time klines
486 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
487 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
488 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
489     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
490 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
491 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
492     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
493     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
494     be hidden even on remote servers
495 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
496 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
497     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
498 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
499 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
500 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
501     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
502     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
503 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
504 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
505     now sent by default
506 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
507     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
508 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
