Nothing's prefect. This is most certainly true of any things I've
touched.<br>
<br>
This page contains late-breaking bugfixes found between Dead
Souls releases. Only important bugs are addressed<br>
here. Feature enhancements become available on full release. Minor,
non-critical bugfixes are listed in the <a
href="http://dead-souls.net/fixes.html">general fixes page</a>.<br>
All of the fixes listed here will be included in the next release. They
are provided here early in order to address<br>
potential problems.<br>
<br>
<h3><b><u>Always back up files before overwriting them with hotfixes.</u></b></h3>
<b><font color="red">Dead Souls 2.0r25</font> and below available
hotfixes:</b><br>
<ul>
<li>There is a <a href="http://dead-souls.net/news.html#16jun06">serious
security problem</a> that affects all versions of Dead Souls below
2.0r26. The only fix is to apply an upgrade patch. <br>
The <a href="http://dead-souls.net/code/patches/dspatch_2.0r21_2.1.zip">patch</a>
to upgrade to Dead Souls 2.1 is available now. This patch can be
applied to any version of Dead Souls 2.0 above 2.0r20. </li>
</ul>
<b><font color="red">Dead Souls 2.1</font> available hotfixes: </b><br>
<ul>
<li>Admintool has a security bug where, if you are standing in the
same room as the target, and you encre/decre them, they can gain <br>
access to admintool functions. Replace /secure/cmds/admins/admintool.c
with this <a href="http://dead-souls.net/code/fixes/admintool.c">file</a>,
then update /secure/cmds/admins/admintool.c <br>
(thanks to Zaphod @ HodgePodge for the report) <br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A bug in verbs allows players to use the force command. This is a
problem. The workaround is to replace copy <a
href="http://dead-souls.net/code/fixes/force.c">this file</a> over<br>
/secure/verbs/creators/force.c , then type: update
/secure/verbs/creators/force.c (thanks to Zaroth @ Divided Realms for
the report) <br>
<br>
</li>
<li>If you created a new local channel (call
me->AddChannel("blahfoo")) its data is being sent to the router. To
stop this, <br>
copy <a href="http://dead-souls.net/code/fixes/chat.c">this file</a>
over /secure/daemon/chat.c then type: update /secure/daemon/chat.c </li>
</ul>
<b><font color="red">Dead Souls 2.1.1</font> available hotfixes: </b>
<ul>
<li>None. 2.1.1 contains the latest available hotfixes. </li>
