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

265 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
266     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
267 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
268 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
269 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
270     previously used usermode +r.
271     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
272     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
273     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
274 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
275     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
276     - Added services_name directive to general{} block

279     only be added via ircd.conf

284 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

288 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
289 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
290     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
291     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
292     be hidden even on remote servers
293 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
294 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
295     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
296 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
297 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
298 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
299     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
300     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
301 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
