537 >   - Added services_name directive to general {} block

540 >   only be added via ircd.conf

549 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
550 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

552 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
553 >   be hidden even on remote servers
554 > o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
555 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
556 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
557 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
558 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
559 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
560 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
561 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
562 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2

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