136 'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
137 not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled

139 clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for
140 remote clients

328 following changes:
329 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
330 - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
331 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
332 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
333 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
334 previously used usermode +r.
335 - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
336 - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
337 - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
338 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
339 - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
340 - Added services_name directive to general{} block
341 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
342 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
343 only be added via ircd.conf
344 o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
345 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
346 these flags control
347 o) Removed Idle-time klines
348 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
349 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
350 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
351 o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
352 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
353 o) Added support for remote D-lines
354 o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
355 hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
356 be hidden even on remote servers
357 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
358 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
359 SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
360 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
361 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
362 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
363 added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
364 Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
365 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
366 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
367 now sent by default
368 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
369 o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
370 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
