835 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

838 >   be hidden even on remote servers
839 > o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
840 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of

843 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
844 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
845 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
846 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
