750 >   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
751 >   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
752 >     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
753 >   - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j.  These
754 >     previously used usermode +r.
755 >   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
756 >   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
757 >   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
758 >   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
759 >   - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
760 >   - Added services_name directive to general {} block
761 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
762 > o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
763 >   only be added via ircd.conf
764 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
765 >   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
766 >   these flags control
767 > o) Removed Idle-time klines
768 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
769 > o) Removed 'general::burst_away' configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
770 >   controlled via 'connect::flags' explicitly
771 > o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
772 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
773 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
774 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
775 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
776 >   be hidden even on remote servers
777 > o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
778 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
779 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
780 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
781 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
782 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
783 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
784 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
785 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
786 > o) Removed 'channel::burst_topicwho' configuration option. This feature is now
787 >   enabled by default
788 > o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
789 > o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
790 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
