30 o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
31 when set to yes
32 o) Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way

34 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
35 with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD
36 and LIST parameters.

46 -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
47 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
48 following changes:
49 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
50 - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
51 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
52 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
53 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
54 previously used usermode +r.
55 - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
56 - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
57 - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
58 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
59 - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
60 - Added services_name directive to general{} block
61 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
62 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
63 only be added via ircd.conf
64 o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
65 privilege flags. Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what
66 these flags control
67 o) Removed Idle-time klines
68 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
69 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
70 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
71 o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
72 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
73 o) Added support for remote D-lines
74 o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
75 hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
76 be hidden even on remote servers
77 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
78 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
79 SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
80 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
81 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
82 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
83 added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
84 Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
85 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
86 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
87 now sent by default
88 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
89 o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
90 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
