Support for Perl scripts has been added. The data structure in which the users are placed has been changed to a hash table. Shared memory segments are used for connected users. There are various bugfixes and some minor feature additions.
A fix for a bug which could cause the hub not to fork properly if the check_key variable was set to 1, changing the time between uploads to public hub list to 15 minutes, changing the default value of users_per_fork to 1000, and a fix for a bug where the user_list_file was read without first setting the file lock correctly (this could cause logged off users to be ghosted).
Fixes for some possible buffer overflows, changes to simplify use in Windows/Cygwin, removal of a restriction for nicknames which made it impossible to use names which started with one of some special characters, removal of a restriction which didn't allow empty chat lines, and a new ability to kick ghosted users from the user list.
A small bug that could cause an erroneous nicklist
to be sent was fixed. The program should now
compile and run on platforms that are missing the
strtoll() function but have the strtoq() function.
It is now possible to specify the minimum share in
megabytes and gigabytes.
A new possibility to administer the hub from the chat in Direct Connect, cleanups to some of the output format to telnet administrators to make it look better on Windows telnet, and some minor bugfixes.
