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

134 lusky 1580 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
135     following changes:
136 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
137     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
138 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
139 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
140 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
141     previously used usermode +r.
142     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
143     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
144     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
145 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
146     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
147     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
148 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
149 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
150     only be added via ircd.conf
151     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
152 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
153 lusky 1580 these flags control
154     o) Removed Idle-time klines
155 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
156 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
157 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
158     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
159 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
160 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
161     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
162     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
163     be hidden even on remote servers
164 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
165 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
166     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
167 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
168 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
169 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
170     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
171     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
172 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
173 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
174     now sent by default
175 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
176     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
177 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
