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.
