156 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

158 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
159 >   be hidden even on remote servers
160 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
161 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
162 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
163 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
164 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
165 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
166 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
167 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
