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

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

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

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