531 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
532     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
533 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
534 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
535 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
536     previously used usermode +r.
537     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
538     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
539     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
540 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
541 michael 5524 - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
542     - Added services_name directive to general {} block
543 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too

545     only be added via ircd.conf
546     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
547 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
548 lusky 1580 these flags control
549     o) Removed Idle-time klines
550 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

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