This update primarily involves Linux servers that have been unable to run plugins due to ambiguous initialization errors or missing dependencies. Whereas all plugins used to be built on an unstable Debian server, all Linux plugins have been recompiled on a completely fresh Debian 6 (Squeeze, oldoldstable) virtual machine.


0.4-announce (for ALL platforms)

• A thread is now used for announcing instead of non-blocking sockets.
• Rewrote the plugin to add error-checking everywhere necessary.

Note: If the new announce plugin loads but does not work for you, please add announce_verbose to your server.cfg file and restart it. Post any relevant log output for debugging.

Updated binaries are available on the project page:
https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-announce/downloads


All other plugins

• Rebuilt all Linux plugins on Debian 6 to target servers that are not fully up-to-date with libc.

If you are not a Linux user, no changes have been made.

A new Linux plugin package has been uploaded to allow plugins to be updated en-masse:
64-bit: http://v04.maxorator.com/files/plugins/mp04rc2_plugins64_linux.zip
32-bit: http://v04.maxorator.com/files/plugins/mp04rc2_plugins32_linux.zip

Individual plugins may be downloaded on their respective plugin project pages:
https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-announce/downloads
https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-confloader/downloads
https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-hashing-algorithms/downloads
https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-iniparser/downloads

https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-sockets/downloads
https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-sqlite/downloads
https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-squirrel/downloads


The 0.4 Linux server has also been rebuilt on Debian 6 to ensure consistency and is available at the usual location:
64-bit: http://v04.maxorator.com/files/VCMP04_server_v11_linux64.zip
32-bit: http://v04.maxorator.com/files/VCMP04_server_v11_linux32.zip

Except announce plugin, Is the update is compulsory for all Linux users or just for those, who cant use the old plugins?

@soulshaker No changes in the server SDK which means you are free to use anything you like. The server will load them properly anyway.

If your plugins work fine now, there is no need to update.

Something is blocking the masterlist from checking your server, check your firewall/iptables.

@Stormeus , I am using config server firewall. Do I need to allow any specific port?

Most likely the one used by your server.
