2 > o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
3 >   have been done for this:
4 >   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
5 >   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
6 >   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
7 >     deal with NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
8 >   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
9 >     channelmode +r (registered channel)
10 >   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
11 >     client notices now go to new usermode +j
12 >   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
13 >   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
14 >   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
15 >   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
16 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
17 > o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
18 >   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
19 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
20 >   Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
21 >   are supposed to be doing
22 > o) Idle-time klines have been removed
23 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
24 > o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
25 >   controlled via connect::flags explicitly
26 > o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
27 >   file sizes
28 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
29 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
30 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
31 >   be hidden even on remote servers
32 > o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
33 >   for inter-server communication.
34 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
35 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
36 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
37 > o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
38 >   now sent by default
39 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
