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

513     following changes:
514 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
515     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
516 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
517 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
518 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
519     previously used usermode +r.
520     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
521     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
522     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
523 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
524 michael 5524 - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
525     - Added services_name directive to general {} block
526 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
527 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
528     only be added via ircd.conf
529     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
530 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
531 lusky 1580 these flags control
532     o) Removed Idle-time klines
533 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

535 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
536     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
537 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
538 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
539     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
540     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
541     be hidden even on remote servers
542 michael 5524 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
543 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
544     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
545 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
546 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
547 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
548     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
549     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
550 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
551 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
552     now sent by default
553 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
554     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
555 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
