589 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.

591     previously used usermode +r.

610 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
611     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
612     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
613     be hidden even on remote servers
614 michael 4952 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
615 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
616     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
617 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
618 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
619 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
620     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
621     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
