PMView: The ultimate in image viewing Major update coming soon! Watch http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: Pieter Hintjens (ph@imatix.com) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- Xitami 2.4d5 is now available from: http://www.xitami.com/ The new beta release 2.5b1 is also available now. Xitami is a small, fast, and powerful multiplatform Open Source web server available for OS/2 and many other operating systems. Changes in 2.4d5: - Closed a security problem with the LRWP agent. Versions prior to 2.4d4 have a denial-of-service problem with LRWP that lets people crash your server by telnetting to port 81 and entering garbage. You can upgrade to 2.4d5, or disable LRWP by adding [LRWP]enabled=0 to your defaults.cfg file. - We have upgraded the LRWP agent to LRWP/2.0 to close the security holes. You must define applications in the defaults.cfg [Lrwp- Application] section before they can connect to the server. - We have upgraded the logging agent to support the extended logging formats of Xitami 2.5. To avoid conflicts, use extended logging for all log files or for none at all. If you are using LRWP on an Internet server we recommend you upgrade to protect against attacks on your LRWP ports. If you use Xitami without LRWP, we recommend you disable LRWP in any case, and upgrade to 2.4d5 after testing the new release carefully. Some users have noted problems the new logging functions.
