461 lusky 1580 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
462     following changes:
463 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
464     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
465 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
466 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
467 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
468     previously used usermode +r.
469     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
470     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
471     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
472 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
473     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
474     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
475 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
476 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
477     only be added via ircd.conf
478     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
479 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
480 lusky 1580 these flags control
481     o) Removed Idle-time klines
482 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
483 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
484 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
485     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
486 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
487 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
488     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
489     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
490     be hidden even on remote servers
491 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
492 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
493     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
494 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
495 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
496 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
497     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
498     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
499 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
500 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
501     now sent by default
502 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
503     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
504 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
