159 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

162 >   be hidden even on remote servers
163 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
164 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
165 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
166 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
167 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
168 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and

170 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
