528 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
529     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
530 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
531 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
532 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
533     previously used usermode +r.
534     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
535     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
536     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
537 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
538 michael 4952 - Added services {} block to ircd.conf

542     only be added via ircd.conf

544 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
545 lusky 1580 these flags control

547 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

551 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
552 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
553     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
554     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
555     be hidden even on remote servers
556 michael 4952 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
557 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
558     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
559 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
560 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
561 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
562     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
563     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
564 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
565 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
566     now sent by default

568     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
569 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
