73 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
74 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and

76 >   be hidden even on remote servers
77 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
78 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
79 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
80 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
81 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
82 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
83 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
84 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
85 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
