156 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

159 >   be hidden even on remote servers
160 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
161 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
162 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
163 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
164 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL

166 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
167 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
