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

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