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

552     only be added via ircd.conf

554 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
555 lusky 1580 these flags control
556     o) Removed Idle-time klines
557 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

559 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly

561 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
562 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
563     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
564     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
565     be hidden even on remote servers
566 michael 5524 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
567 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
568     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
569 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
570 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
571 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
572     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
573     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
574 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
575 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
576     now sent by default

578     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
579 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
