138 >   only be added via ircd.conf

140 >   privilege flags. Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what
141 >   these flags control

148 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

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