816 >   - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
817 >   - Added services_name directive to general {} block
818 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
819 > o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
820 >   only be added via ircd.conf
821 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
822 >   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
823 >   these flags control
824 > o) Removed Idle-time klines
825 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

830 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

840 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
841 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
