50 >     channelmode +r (registered channel)

54 >   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
55 >   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
56 >   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
57 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
58 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
59 > o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
60 >   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
61 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
62 >   Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
63 >   are supposed to be doing
64 > o) Idle-time klines have been removed
65 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
66 > o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
67 >   controlled via connect::flags explicitly
68 > o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
69 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
70 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
71 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
72 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
73 >   be hidden even on remote servers
74 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
75 > o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
76 >   for inter-server communication.
77 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
78 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
79 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
80 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
81 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
82 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
83 > o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
84 >   now sent by default
85 > o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
86 > o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
87 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
