> Hi all,
>
> I am pleased to announce that version 0.13 of Datasphere, the WWCN server
> software package, has been released. Many small and a few fatal bugs have
> been fixed, which were responsible for about 90% of the coredumps in the
> past. Undoubtedly, new bugs will show up; please report them to me
> (grit@wwcn.org) if you find one.
>
> I would like to ask the "production" admins to upgrade a.s.a.p; I will
> upgrade the production- and betatest servers to which I have shell access
> myself.
>
> The bugs that have been fixed are:
> - an invalid USER message (IRC protocol) would crash the server
> - an invalid .IAM CLNT message (WWCP protocol) would crash the server
> - a WHOIS on a WWCP client would crash the server
> - numerics were not in 3-character format, causing a.o. sirc not to like WWCN
> - sending USER before NICK (irc protocol) would give weird effects
> - a few bugs in the Makefile for the "install" targets have been fixed
>
> a few things were added:
> - a SYNC command to resync a server with the CDS
> - the diagnostics connection has been polished up; it works again (admins:
> contact me on how to use it)
> - a first step towards a unix text-based client, called "tap" (your tap into
> the datasphere). It can't join channels and chat yet. It's in the release
> package because removing it is extra effort ;)

> The new version, officially labelled 0.13, is available for download at;
