[Pkg-silc-devel] SILC Server 1.1.16

[Pekka Riikonen]

The new version of the SILC Server is now available!  The source package
of the software is available from the following sources:

  		http://silcnet.org/
  		ftp://ftp.silcnet.org/

This version fixes lots of bugs and many security bugs such as crashes. 
In fact this release fixes as many as 8 major crashes and many other bugs. 
I'd like to especially thank apar from SILCNet for providing backtraces 
and detailed debug logs of each of the crashes which enabled us to fix the 
problems.  Upgrading is highly recommended.

------------

The source package is compiled and installed as instructed in the INSTALL
file found from the package.  Quick installation:

Known Issues
------------

- Known Issues in SILC Server

    - Two or more servers with same IP must not be linked to same network,
      even if server ports are different.  This is limitation in current
      implementation and may cause desync problems in the network.

    - Adding or removing listenning interfaces (secondary interfaces in
      silcd.conf) does not work in rehash (rehash is kill -HUP <serverPID>).
      Changing listenning interfaces requires reboot of the server.

    - Router to router connections may not work as expected.
