470 >   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers

475 >     previously used usermode +r.
476 >   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
477 >   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
478 >   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
479 >   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
480 >   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
481 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
482 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
483 > o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
484 >   only be added via ircd.conf

486 >   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
487 >   these flags control
488 > o) Removed Idle-time klines

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

496 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
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
