24 > o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
25 >   when set to yes

28 > o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
29 >   with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD

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