480 michael 1441 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands

495 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
496     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
497 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
498 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
499 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
500     previously used usermode +r.
501     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
502     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
503     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
504 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
505 michael 4952 - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
506     - Added services_name directive to general {} block
507 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
508 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
509     only be added via ircd.conf
510     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
511 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
512 lusky 1580 these flags control
513     o) Removed Idle-time klines
514 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
515 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
516 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
517     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
518 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
519 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
520     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
521     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
522     be hidden even on remote servers
523 michael 4952 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
524 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
525     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
526 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
527 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
528 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
529     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
530     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
531 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
532 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
533     now sent by default
534 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
535     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
536 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
