170 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

173 >   be hidden even on remote servers
174 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
175 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
176 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
177 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
178 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL

181 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
