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

281     only be added via ircd.conf
282     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
283 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
284 lusky 1580 these flags control

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

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