396     o) Removed Idle-time klines
397 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
398 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
399 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
400     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
401 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
402 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
403     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
404     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
405     be hidden even on remote servers
406 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
407 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
408     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
409 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
410 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
411 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
412     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
413     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
414 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
415 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
416     now sent by default
417 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
418     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
419 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
