- Removed usermode +C

- conf_parser.l, conf_parser.y: style corrections

- Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect',
  'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or 
  not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
  by appeding the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local
  clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for
  remote clients

- Removed channel::quiet_on_ban configuration option. This feature is
  now enabled by default

- Removed operflag 'nick_changes'. Operators can now set +n at will

- Added 'nononreg' (+R) to oper::umodes and general::oper_only_modes

- Remove current msg locale implementation

- Made all numeric defines use the actual string instead of the numeric value
  which allows to use gcc's printf format attribute
- Remove current message locale implementation

- Forward-port -r1750 [IMPORTANT: nick and topic lengths are now configurable
  via ircd.conf. A max_nick_length, as well as a max_topic_length configuration
  option can now be found in the serverinfo{} block]
- OpenSSL 0.9.8s and higher is now required in order to enable ssl support

- Cleanup unused header file includes
- Fixed minor compile warning in conf.c

- Fixed class blocks not getting default values set properly
- bison 2.6.5

- bison 2.6.3

- Removed general::kline_with_reason configuration options. It's now enabled
  by default
- Removed remnants of the broken reject holding code

- removed unused terminal symbols

- Removed general::client_flood configuration option and added the
  new 'recvq' configuration directive to class{} blocks.
  The max size of a receive queue can be seen in "STATS Y" for each class
- Update NEWS

- Removed use_invex, use_except and use_knock configuration options.
  These features are now enabled by default

- removed &localchannels

- Added 'set' to operator privilege flags. Gives access to the "SET" command

- Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way
  was to let ircops join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user.

  I'd rather would make this a class{} based limit, but this would require us
  to reprint the ISUPPORT buffer every time a client connects.

- move conf_yy_input and conf_yy_fatal_error to conf_lexer.l
- conf_lexer.l: replace a strcpy with strlcpy

- Remove log::timestamp configuration directive. Timestamps are now enabled by default.
- Timestamps are iso8601 now

- renaming files:

  ircd_parser.y -> conf_parser.y
  ircd_lexer.l  -> conf_lexer.l
  s_conf.c      -> conf.c
  s_conf.h      -> conf.h
  s_log.c       -> log.c
  s_log.h       -> log.h

- remove servlink in preparation for tls links/compression

- Add user mode +H which simply hides operator status to other users.
  This solution replaces current method of hidding operator status where the
  admin mode is not sent to other servers unless hidden_administrator is disabled.
- m_who() now takes care whether an operator is hidden or not

- A file size of 'unlimited' can now be specified for log files

- move content of msg.h, ircd_handler.h and handlers.h into parse.h and
  remove headers accordingly
- killed common.h
- remove m_killhost.c and m_flags.c from contrib/
- sort out unused header includes here and there

- add 'globops' to operflags

- several fixes to services compatibility mode

- create ircd-hybrid-8 "branch"

- cleanup and sanitize m_server.c. remove hostmasking. Improve TS6 suppport

- remove old dot_in_ip6_addr configuration option. this is now obsolete.

- move ircd-hybrid-7.2 to trunk

- add configure test for pcre lib and remove pcre sources from the tree

- Added some missing files
- Moved HOSTLEN and USERLEN definition back to ircd_defs.h
  Those two shouldn't be configurable
