373 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

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