456     with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD

468 lusky 1580 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
469     following changes:
470 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
471     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
472 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
473 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
474 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
475     previously used usermode +r.
476     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
477     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
478     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
479 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
480     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
481     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
482 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
483 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
484     only be added via ircd.conf
485     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
486 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
487 lusky 1580 these flags control
488     o) Removed Idle-time klines
489 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
490 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
491 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
492     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
493 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
494 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
495     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
496     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
497     be hidden even on remote servers
498 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
499 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
500     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
501 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
502 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
503 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
504     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
505     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
506 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
507 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
508     now sent by default
509 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
510     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
511 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
