WCS 1.8rc5 - WinMX Chatserver

[jarod1981®]

E' appena stata rilasciata in questi giorni da KM un nuovo aggiornamento di WCS, il noto chatserver per creare canali su WinMX.
Ecco changelog e annuncio ufficiale:

Update: rc5 released, see below.

WCS 1.8rc4 has been released.

Changes since rc3:
+Another couple of little changes to fix potential bugs with hostname lookup code+Fixed multiple bugs with RTF protection for 3.31 clients that was causing a few issues+Added RealFileCounts= option (see below)+Added WPNCaches= config option (see below)+Added some buffer overflow checks for config file loading (should prevent it crashing on invalid config files)+Updated windows GUI a little to add primary details (simplext explaination of the change: run it and have a look)

In rc2 I added whois lookups to it to get transfer status and to get the true shared file count where clients reported it incorrectly. I have now added an option to set RealFileCounts=0/1 for if you want the real file count, or the old behaviour of just using whatever the client says. Due to there being several complaints about this behaviour the default is 0 (old behaviour) if not specified.

As a result of the winmxgroup shutdown you can now specify which cache to use in the form of WPNCaches=whatever, you can either use an IP Address or a hostname, if using a hostname that resolves to multiple IP Addresses it will query them all and use whichever answers first. The default value for this is a kingmacro.net hostname that contains a mix of caches so you shouldn't need to change this, but the option is there anyway...

rc5 released
shortly after release a bug was spotted with rc4 and names containing non-ASCII characters, it meant you could only join the channel if you had a username containing only ASCII characters, and for some reason there are many people who use non-ASCII characters knowing full well they don't display correctly anyway, but that's a different discussion...

So anyway, rc5 has been released, only changes are a bug fix for these unreadable names, and I also changed the version on the linux download to list as -Linux instead of -Unix, seems more appropriate.

I blame the same fairy that blew up one of the hard drives in my home server last night... (causing a few hours outage, and causing me to get up for work late because I use the server as my alarm clock - and I still insist it has nothing to do with my rewiring the power supply whilst it was turned on)
