43   -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
44   o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
45     have been done for this:
46     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
47     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
48 +   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
49 +     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
50     - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
51       channelmode +r (registered channel)
52     - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
# Line 12 | Line 56 | o) Implemented full services support. Am
56     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
57     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
58     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
59 +   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
60   o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
61     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
62   o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
# Line 22 | Line 67 | o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules w
67   o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
68     controlled via connect::flags explicitly
69   o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
70 <   file sizes
70 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
71   o) Added support for remote D-lines
72   o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
73     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
74     be hidden even on remote servers
75 + o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
76   o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
77     for inter-server communication.
78     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
79     connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
80 + o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
81 +   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
82 +   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
83   o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
84 + o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
85 +   now sent by default
86 + o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
87 + o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
88 + o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
