488 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
489     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
490 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
491 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
492 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
493     previously used usermode +r.
494     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
495     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
496     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
497 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
498 michael 4952 - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
499     - Added services_name directive to general {} block
500 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
501 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
502     only be added via ircd.conf
503     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
504 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
505 lusky 1580 these flags control
506     o) Removed Idle-time klines
507 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

509 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
510     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
511 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
512 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
513     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
514     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
515     be hidden even on remote servers
516 michael 4952 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
517 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
518     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
519 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
520 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
521 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
522     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
523     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
524 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
525 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
526     now sent by default
527 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
528     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
529 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
