107 >   privilege flags. Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what
108 >   these flags control

110 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
111 > o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now

114 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
115 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
116 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
117 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
118 >   be hidden even on remote servers
119 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
120 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
121 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
122 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
123 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
124 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
125 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
126 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
