383 michael 2012 clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for
384     remote clients

596 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
597     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
598     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
599     be hidden even on remote servers
600 michael 4952 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
601 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
602     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
603 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
604 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
605 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
606     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
607     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
