Version 1.1.1:

The new version of the SILC Server is now available! This maintenance release fixes a remotely exploitable crash so upgrading is highly recommended.

Summary of Changes:

• Fixed NEW_CLIENT packet handling when it does not contain nickname.

Known issues:

• 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 listening interfaces (secondary interfaces in silcd.conf) does not work in rehash (rehash is kill -HUP ). Changing listening interfaces requires reboot of the server.
• Router to router connections may not work as expected.
