494 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

497 >   be hidden even on remote servers
498 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
499 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
500 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
501 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
502 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
503 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
504 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
505 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
506 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2

510 > o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
511 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
