A very nasty bug in the socket code that created problems with some fdwatch backends because of reused sockets not being cleaned properly is fixed. A problem with d2cs and d2dbs not exiting when the exit signal is received and exit_time has expired is fixed. A problem with topvbot "team game"-results being discarded is fixed. A possible overflow with malformed gamereport packets is fixed. A workaround is added for a D2 classic client side bug (open bnet games being listed as closed bnet games). A problem with language-specific channels with limited user count is fixed.
This version fixes a problem with running d2cs and d2dbs as
services (in GUI versions). It fixes a problem with language-
specific channels. It adds Unix build configure options to
disable bnetd/d2cs/d2dbs builds. It adds a "sync_on_logoff"
bnetd.conf directive to enable saving of account data on
user's logoff, fixes a crash with short/broken cdb user files,
and fixes a problem with trying to load invalid usernames
(like "").
This release has redesigned and rewritten most of the
fdwatch codes (the new codes are now called fdwatch2) to
better support OS which have sparse values for sockets
(e.g. this should help busy Win32 systems). A problem with
SC/BW topvbot game-results being discarded has been
fixed, as have Dev-C++ compilation problems. A "Diablo II
Level 100 Workaround" was added for mods with a max
level greater than 99. There is an option in d2dbs.conf to
activate this.
A Win32 d2cs/d2dbs GUI, new game result decision code, and instant startup support have been added. Timers, news, and IRC code has been rewritten, fixing bugs and improving the CPU footprint. There are many other major optimizations.
W3 ROC/TFT 1.17a support is now available out of
the box. The "allowed_clients" configuration
option was added to restrict the types of clients
allowed to connect on bnet class connections. The
"ladder_games" configuration option was added to
list additional game types to be counted as
ladder. Autodetection for w3route was is now done
if the IP address is set to 0.0.0.0. Possible "use
after free" crashes in clan were fixed. bnchat was
fixed to work on the Win32 platform. An OOB crash
bug in the anongame codes if queue id was negative
was fixed. The epoll backend was fixed to not
ignore errors.
