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

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