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