576 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
577     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
578     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
579     be hidden even on remote servers
580 michael 4952 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
581 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
582     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
583 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
584 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
585 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
586     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
587     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
