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

89 lusky 1580 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
90     following changes:
91 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
92     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
93 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
94 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
95 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
96     previously used usermode +r.
97     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
98     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
99     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
100 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
101     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
102     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
103 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
104 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
105     only be added via ircd.conf
106     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
107     privilege flags. Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what
108     these flags control
109     o) Removed Idle-time klines
110 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
111 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
112 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
113     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
114 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
115 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
116     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
117     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
118     be hidden even on remote servers
119 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
120 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
121     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
122 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
123 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
124 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
125     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
126     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
127 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
128 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
129     now sent by default
130 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
131     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
132 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
