[htsserver-devel] htsserver 0.5.9 released.

[Uwe H. <uh...@he...>]

Hi folks.

Yesterday I released version 0.5.9 of the Holsham Traders server.


Changes include:

 * We use autoconf 2.49c and the latest CVS automake now.
 * htsserver now requires Glib 1.3.2 or better.
 * Rewrite of the networking code, the logging code, configfile support,
   the string parsing routine and much more.
 * We use htsprotocol 0.4.6 now. There were several changes in the
   protocol. See docs/PROTOCOL for details.
 * login_timeout and autosave_delay can now be turned off.
 * Removed the 'defaultgame' option and the commandline options
   --gamename and --creategame.
 * Added the commandline options --configfile, --logfile, --datadir and
   --savegamesdir.
 * Lots of documentation updates. Added the manpage htsserver.conf(5).
 * More verbosive and more descriptive error reports.
 * Removed some arbitrary limits, e.g. the length of the
   logging-messages is not limited anymore.
 * Removed the commandline options --daemonize and --stderr-device.
   You cannot log to stderr anymore. htsserver always runs as daemon,
   now.
 * Removed savegame support. This will be re-implemented. Savegame files
   will either be ASCII files or XML files.
 * Added configure options --with-configfile=FILE, --with-logfile=FILE,
   --with-datadir=DIR and --with-savegamesdir=DIR to make the game more
   relocatable.
 * htsserver is FHS compliant, now.
 * Fixed several format string vulnerabilities.
 * Lots and lots of internal improvements and of course the usual
   bugfixes.



Get htsserver it from:
http://download.sourceforge.net/htsserver/htsserver-0.5.9.tar.gz

Get nhtsclient 0.5.9 from http://nhtsclient.sourceforge.net.
This is a ncurses Holsham Traders client which you can use to actually
play the game.


Have fun.


Uwe.
