64 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block

67 >   only be added via ircd.conf

69 >   privilege flags. Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what
70 >   these flags control
71 > o) Removed Idle-time klines
72 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
73 > o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now

76 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
77 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
78 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
79 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
80 >   be hidden even on remote servers
81 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
82 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
83 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
84 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
85 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
86 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
87 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
88 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
89 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
