Possibly security related bug fixed. A few new features, check out the release notes for more info.

Nexuschat 3.3 will be released soon. A couple of the new features are :
- Named channels (irc-like)
- New user info fields
- Automatic userdata base updating/creating
- User self registration
- Code cleanup
- New commands

And much more!

You can now download 3.24 from SourceForge

Sourceforge is messed up and won't let me add the tarball for download, so you can get it off of the homepage under the Downloads section.

I missed at least two (one serious) format string attacks in previous versions, it is strongly advised you upgrade. I'll try and release a patch that just fixes the bugs for those who don't want to upgrade the entire tarball.

/b (kill-ban) had a bug which could possibly segfault nchat, and broke the syntax of /b.
The newly released patch will fix this.

If you had trouble compiling/running setup.sh on Solaris, download 3.2pre11 and see if that fixes the problems

Heh, looks like I kind of forgot to change the version number in nchat.h in a couple of the latest pre releases. I promise to try and remember from now on.

There is still a bug with the email, I sugest removing the CMD_MAIL command from the class file until I have more time to fix it.
