[Webfunds-users] new V1.7.5 is minor update

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 20:43:00 -0400 (AST)

Hi all,

I've just put a minor release up on the site at

     http://www.webfunds.org/download/README.html

which mostly addresses a bug that occured if your
WebFunds was running whilst a server went down.
This resulted in a "stale key" and WebFunds needed
to be restarted before it would communicate again.

No more!  Which is a good thing, as all the servers
were down for two hours this afternoon, so you should
restart your WebFunds if you left it running over
that period.  Or, even better, upgrade to 1.7.5.

Other good reasons to upgrade are if you are reliant
on test contracts like 'pints of beer' (as I am
restarting the (Croesus) server on a regular basis
at the moment, testing a new method of payment).  Or,
if you do lots of trading (as there are more servers
involved in trading, so it is more sensitive).

For the most part, most people won't be too fussed.
