This year’s first official DC++ release is almost entirely focused on security and bug fixes, addressing plenty of issues of various severity.
The disclosed high- to medium-severity issues are mostly problems regarding the hub connection and are about preventing possible disruptions caused by buggy or malicious hubs. DC++ had a considerable deficit in this area due to some design considerations of the past, assumptions that today’s network safety standards have made insufficient. This release fixes a few of these issues but there’s still work to do to harden this area in the coming period.
The changelog in the DC++ help lists all the fixes, with links to the official bug tracker entries, where all the symptoms and reasons behind the fixes are explained in detail.
Last but not least, version 0.884 fixes an issue with numeric input UI elements whose values can be altered with spinner controls (small up/down arrows). The bug affects all of these controls (mostly in the Settings panel) and allows invalid values to be entered without proper range checking. Many of these settings, when set to invalid values, can cause severe issues, including being unable to log in to some hubs.
What worsens the situation is that many of these input boxes are pretty narrow (as they usually expect one- or two-digit values), therefore it can sometimes be hard to spot that they actually contain invalid values.
For complete information on all of the fixes, please refer to the list of commits. As usual, DC++ 0.884 will be advertised as a testing release first to a small subset of the user base, starting today. Due to the relatively small number of changes and fixes, this version should most probably be marked as stable within a few days.
