343 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
344     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
345 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
346 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.

348     previously used usermode +r.
349     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
350     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
351     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
352 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
353     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
354     - Added services_name directive to general{} block

359 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
360 lusky 1580 these flags control

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

366 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
367 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
368     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
369     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
370     be hidden even on remote servers
371 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
372 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
373     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
374 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
375 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
376 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
377     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
378     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
379 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
