840 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

843 >   be hidden even on remote servers
844 > o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
845 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
846 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
847 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
848 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
849 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
