45   -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
46   o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
47     have been done for this:
48     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
49     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
50 +   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
51 +     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
52     - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
53       channelmode +r (registered channel)
54     - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected

58     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
59     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
60     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
61 +   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
62   o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
63     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
64   o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
# Line 22 | Line 69 | o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules w
69   o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
70     controlled via connect::flags explicitly
71   o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
72 <   file sizes
72 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
73   o) Added support for remote D-lines
74   o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
75     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
76     be hidden even on remote servers
77 + o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
78   o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
79     for inter-server communication.
80     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
81     connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
