Subject: [hlds] Half-Life Primary Server x.1.1.1d Beta Release
Importance: High


We've put the x.1.1.1d beta release on our FTP site. Server admin should update their servers to x.1.1.1d to protect against security exploits.

You can grab the "d" beta release here:

ftp.valvesoftware.com
login: hlserver
pass: hlserver

Win32
=====
file: hlds4111d_beta.exe
md5: f523557dac8dcfc1ccde6c8958bc9b52

Linux
=====
file: hlds_l_3111d_update.tar.gz
md5: fb45a812d4940b1603d894a25b961ec8

Here's the change list for the "d" release:

Changes/Additions:
------------------
- Added bot count to "details" server query reply.
- Flipped anti-DoS logic to check per user and then global rate limits. Changed it so users exceeding personal rates don't add into the global rate calculations.
- Performed optimizations on engine to improve performance.
- Linux: Added "-pidfile <filename>" argument to hlds to get it to write the pid of the dedicated server process to the file specified.
- Linux: Improved "-debug" command to look for core.<pid> files.
- Linux: hlds echoes to the controlling tty rather than stdout (solves redirecting output no longer showing key presses).
- HLTV: Changed "status" output, more info displayed.
- HLTV: Added cvar "maxloss", default 0.05, if packet loss exceeds this threshold, new spectators are rejected.
- HLTV: Zero delay possible for direct broadcasts without game buffering ("delay 0").

Bug Fixes:
----------
- Fixed format string crash bug in logging.
- Fixed infinite loop due to malformed infostring.
- HLTV: Fixed system timer problem.
- HLTV: Fixed missing end in HLTV demos.
- HLTV: Fixed missing director commands with "playdemo" in HLTV console.
- HLTV: Fixed MAX_OSPATH.

Let us know if you have any problems with this release and we'll look into them right away.

Thanks.
