SILC Server 0.9.18

The new version of the SILC Server is now available!  The source package
of the software is available from the following sources:

        http://silcnet.org/
        ftp://ftp.silcnet.org/

This is a quick upgrade release because of couple serious bugs in the
0.9.17.  Especially backup router had stability problems with 0.9.17.
This was due to a rekey bug when performing rekey with PFS, and because of
another bug it caused the backup (and other servers too) to crash.  If you
are running a normal server or backup router then ugprading is strongly
recommended.  If you are running any kind of server with PFS enabled in
rekey, upgrading is recommended.


Summary of Changes
------------------

o Fixed protocol completion handling in connection closing.

o Fixed rekey with PFS to work on backup with disabled connections.

o Fixed CMODE command reply to return the user limit correctly.

o Fixed the watch notify to be called for resuming clients.

The full list of changes is available on the website and in CHANGES file
in the source package.

Known Issues
------------

- Known Issues in SILC Server

  - 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 listenning interfaces (secondary interfaces in
    silcd.conf) does not work in rehash (rehash is kill -HUP <server PID>).
    Changing listenning interfaces requires reboot of the server.

  - Router to router connections may not work as expected.
