The time has come for freenode to migrate from our old, legacy services package to a much newer, actively maintained package known as [Atheme](http://www.atheme.net/), developed by the [Atheme Project](http://www.atheme.org/). Although we, with the help of the Atheme developers, have tried to make the migration process as painless as possible, there are still a few interface differences that you will need to be aware of. This guide, prepared by tomaw, will attempt to walk you through the main changes, grouped by service.
