5 >   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
6 >   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
7 >     channelmode +r (registered channel)
8 >   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
9 >     client notices now go to new usermode +j
10 >   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
11 >   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
12 >   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
13 >   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
14 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
15 > o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
16 >   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
17 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
18 >   Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
19 >   are supposed to be doing

29 >   be hidden even on remote servers
30 > o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
31 >   for inter-server communication.
32 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
33 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
34 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
35 > o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
36 >   now sent by default
