Changes to Empire 4.3.30 - Sun Apr 29 18:27:41 UTC 2012
* Fix arm to require nuke and plane to be in the same sector. A
remote nuke got teleported to its plane when the plane moved.
Broken in 4.3.3.
* Change login command kill (used by client option -k) to kill less
ruthlessly: send a flash message and try to flush output, exactly
like a server shutdown does.
* Fix server shutdown to wait for player threads to reach a safe
state. Without that, we could fail to update the treasury, record
play time, and write log entries. The old code is racy. It goes
back to Empire 2. It was patched in 4.2.10, 4.2.12, 4.2.20, 4.3.6,
4.3.10 and 4.3.23, but the core problem remained unaddressed.
* When shutdown aborts a command, the terminating player thread could
still get stuck sending output, and thus lose the race just
mentioned. Broken in 4.3.23.
state. Before, player threads raced with shutdown, and failed to
update the treasury, record play time, and write log entries when
they lost. Bug goes back to Empire 2. Patched partially or
unsuccessfully in 4.2.10, 4.2.12, 4.2.20, 4.3.6, 4.3.10 and 4.3.23.
The race was hard to lose in practice, until an unrelated
"simplification" in 4.3.32 could get player threads stuck sending
output after shutdown aborted a command.
* Idle timeout changes:
- The grace period for clients to complete login and logout is now
separate from the idle timeout. Configurable with new econfig
