Late-scheduled sponsor power outages between 9am and 10am UTC on Monday, 8 August 2005 (a bit over a day from now) will impact network use for most of our users. We'll take the opportunity at that time to do software updates on several of our servers, and we'll also schedule a test upgrade to Hyperion 1.0. Hyperion is a fork of our current dancer-ircd 1.0 ircd server software.
Hyperion represents the return to active maintenance of our source tree, and provides [a number of bug fixes and operational enhancements.](http://svn.freenode.net/hyperion/trunk/NEWS) There will be a few visible enhancements, such as the use of the
-<blockquote>** /stats p **</blockquote>
+> **/stats p**
command, which will allow the user to get a list of freenode staffers who have marked themselves as "available to handle problems" with a new user mode, +T. We'll make another new umode, +u, available to group members to allow them to bypass channel join limits. And one more major new feature, NOIDPREFIX support, may affect registered nickname formats. Nothing will be implemented for at least two months, but you're urged to read the [draft policy](http://freenode.net/policy_draft_1123442180.shtml#usernames) and comment to email address **policy at freenode dot net**.
