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

63 michael 1245 -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
64 lusky 1580 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
65     following changes:
66 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
67     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
68 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
69 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
70 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
71     previously used usermode +r.
72     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
73     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
74     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
75 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
76     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
77     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
78 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
79 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
80     only be added via ircd.conf
81     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
82     privilege flags. Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what
83     these flags control
84     o) Removed Idle-time klines
85 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
86 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
87 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
88     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
89 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
90 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
91     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
92     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
93     be hidden even on remote servers
94 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
95 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
96     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
97 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
98 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
99 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
100     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
101     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
102 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
103 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
