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