742     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
743     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
744     - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
745       deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
746 <   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
747 <     channelmode +r (registered channel)
748 <   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
22 <     client notices now go to new usermode +j
23 <   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
24 <   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
746 >   - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j.  These
747 >     previously used usermode +r.
748 >   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
749     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
750 <   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf

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

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