- 11 May 2004 18:31
Changes: This release optionally supports Antinat for proxy-based connections, with https, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 support. These can be authenticating proxies, and boo supports server-side name resolution.
- 24 Feb 2004 21:17
Changes: This version fixes a bug in the Win32 client that left it spamming the server, chewing up lots of bandwidth and CPU time.
- 12 Feb 2004 22:35
Changes: This version fixes a bug which caused the server to intermittently crash when a client disconnected, and a bug causing clients to disconnect after a long period of inactivity with incoming traffic.
- 02 Feb 2004 18:21
Changes: This release rewrites the protocol to be completely push, which dramatically reduces server load, bandwidth, and latency problems. Performance is now much better, and the system can scale to high-latency connections (modems) and high-use systems with thousands of users. The new server supports 0.2x clients, but 0.30 clients require a 0.3x server.
