39   -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
40   o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
41     have been done for this:
42     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
43     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
44     - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
45 <     deal with NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
45 >     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
46     - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
47       channelmode +r (registered channel)
48     - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
# Line 14 | Line 52 | o) Implemented full services support. Am
52     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
53     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
54     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
55 +   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
56   o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
57     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
58   o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
# Line 24 | Line 63 | o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules w
63   o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
64     controlled via connect::flags explicitly
65   o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
66 <   file sizes
66 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
67   o) Added support for remote D-lines
68   o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
69     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
70     be hidden even on remote servers
71 + o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
72   o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
73     for inter-server communication.
74     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
75     connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
76 + o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
77 +   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
78 +   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
79   o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
80   o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
81     now sent by default
82 + o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
83 + o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
84   o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
