160 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

163 >   be hidden even on remote servers
164 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
165 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
166 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
167 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
168 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
169 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and

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