171 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

174 >   be hidden even on remote servers
175 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
176 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
177 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
178 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
179 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
180 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
181 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
182 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
183 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
