142 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
143 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
144 > o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
145 >   only be added via ircd.conf
146 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
147 >   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
148 >   these flags control
149 > o) Removed Idle-time klines

154 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
155 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

157 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
158 >   be hidden even on remote servers
159 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
160 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
161 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
162 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
163 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
164 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
165 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
166 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
167 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2

40 This is a beta version of ircd-hybrid-7.2.
41
42 NOTE: This is still BETA code.  Run it at your own risk.  By running this
43 code you assume FULL responsibility for any problems it may cause.  We do
44 NOT recommend that you run BETA code on production IRC networks such
45 as EFnet.

65 to beta.  As the user of this code, we request that you help us test things
66 which have changed recently, and which would benefeit from being tested
