270 >   be hidden even on remote servers
271 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
272 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of

274 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
275 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
276 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
