608     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
609     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages

612 <   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
613 <     channelmode +r (registered channel)
614 <   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
17 <     client notices now go to new usermode +j
18 <   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
19 <   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
612 >   - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j.  These
613 >     previously used usermode +r.
614 >   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
615     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
616 <   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf

622 <   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
623 < o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
624 <   Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
625 <   are supposed to be doing
626 < o) Idle-time klines have been removed

626 > o) Removed Idle-time klines
627   o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

632   o) Added support for remote D-lines

635     be hidden even on remote servers
636 < o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
637 < o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
638 <   for inter-server communication.

639     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
640 <   connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
640 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
