533 >     previously used usermode +r.
534 >   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)

539 >   - Added services_name directive to general {} block

541 > o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
542 >   only be added via ircd.conf

544 >   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what

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

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

569 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
