116 michael 1441 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
117     with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD

129 lusky 1580 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
130     following changes:
131 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
132     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
133 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
134 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
135 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
136     previously used usermode +r.
137     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
138     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
139     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
140 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
141     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
142     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
143 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
144 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
145     only be added via ircd.conf
146     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
147 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
148 lusky 1580 these flags control
149     o) Removed Idle-time klines
150 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
151 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
152 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
153     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
154 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
155 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
156     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
157     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
158     be hidden even on remote servers
159 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
160 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
161     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
162 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
163 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
164 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
165     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
166     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
167 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
168 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
169     now sent by default
170 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
171     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
172 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
