468     following changes:
469 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
470     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
471 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
472 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
473 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
474     previously used usermode +r.
475     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
476     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
477     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
478 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
479     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
480     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
481 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
482 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
483     only be added via ircd.conf
484     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
485 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
486 lusky 1580 these flags control
487     o) Removed Idle-time klines
488 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

490 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
491     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
492 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
493 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
494     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
495     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
496     be hidden even on remote servers
497 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
498 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
499     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
500 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
501 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
502 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
503     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
504     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
505 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
506 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
507     now sent by default
508 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
509     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
510 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
