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

526 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
527     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
528 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
529 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
530 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
531     previously used usermode +r.
532     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
533     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
534     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
535 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
536 michael 4952 - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
537     - Added services_name directive to general {} block
538 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
539 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
540     only be added via ircd.conf
541     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
542 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
543 lusky 1580 these flags control
544     o) Removed Idle-time klines
545 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

547 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
548     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
549 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
550 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
551     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
552     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
553     be hidden even on remote servers
554 michael 4952 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
555 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
556     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
557 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
558 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
559 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
560     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
561     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
562 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
563 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
564     now sent by default
565 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
566     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
567 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
