43 >     channelmode +r (registered channel)
44 >   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
45 >     client notices now go to new usermode +j

49 >   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
50 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
51 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
52 > o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
53 >   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
54 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
55 >   Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
56 >   are supposed to be doing
57 > o) Idle-time klines have been removed
58 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
59 > o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
60 >   controlled via connect::flags explicitly
61 > o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
62 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
63 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
64 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
65 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
66 >   be hidden even on remote servers
67 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
68 > o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
69 >   for inter-server communication.
70 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
71 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
72 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
73 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
74 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
75 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
76 > o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
77 >   now sent by default
78 > o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
79 > o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
80 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
