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

494 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
495     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
496 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
497 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
498 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
499     previously used usermode +r.
500     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
501     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
502     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
503 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
504 michael 4952 - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
505     - Added services_name directive to general {} block
506 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
507 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
508     only be added via ircd.conf
509     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
510 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
511 lusky 1580 these flags control
512     o) Removed Idle-time klines
513 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

515 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
516     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
517 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
518 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
519     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
520     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
521     be hidden even on remote servers
522 michael 4952 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
523 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
524     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
525 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
526 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
527 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
528     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
529     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
530 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
531 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
532     now sent by default
533 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
534     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
535 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
