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

576 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
