188 'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
189 not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled

408 be hidden even on remote servers
409 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
410 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
411 SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
412 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
413 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
414 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
415 added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
416 Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
417 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
