View Full Version : 2.7.1 released design256 10-24-2006, 11:11 AM http://forum.irexnet.com/viewtopic.php?t=582 Looks like a misc bug and security release. But is it worth giving up internal access for? arivero 10-24-2006, 11:15 AM It is a creative use of the word "leak", not as in "memory leak". In any case, I have got a mathematical physics paper to read and I will be out sync for two or three days (sorry Scotty, I wanted to keep tracking the libraries, but this is more urgent :( ). If someone accidentally updates his machine I'd be interested on knowing what the fix is, please contact me privately then. Let me add, I find positive the way iLiad is announcing this update: instead "miscelaneus security fixes" they are telling us what they are fixing so it is up to us to decide downloading or not. vranghel 10-24-2006, 12:23 PM Good thing that the releases are coming in faster. BTW....new in 2.7.1 Content Browser TXT files now show the correct icon Toolbar icons are now anti-aliased The Up-key will now allow you to exit the rename screen Bug fixed where you could no longer open a renamed container Bug fixed where not all illegal characters for the rename function were replaced After a search the search string will remain available. Bug fixed where low battery warning was not displayed when starting up with a low battery Bug fixed where multi clicking in the content browser could crash the system Bug fixed where a double press on the confirm key in the iLiad settings could crash the content browser Bug fixed where a double press on the confirm key in CF card menu with no CF card inserted would open the iLiad settings Security Fixes Security fix for Xserver leak Security fix for leak in Profiles PDF Viewer Zoom function improved Pre-rendering of internal hyperlinks in PDF documents Deactivating the keyboard in the PDF viewer no longer leaves a gray image Network Profiles Bug fixed where connection manager could crashed when editing a profile k2r 10-24-2006, 12:39 PM [removed angry rant about non cooperative behaviour until I have cooled down a little] scotty1024 10-24-2006, 01:30 PM I've edited my er_registry files to make sure I don't have an "accident". :) I'm pretty sure I know another exploit. So if anyone does have an accident let me know via PM. arivero 10-24-2006, 02:57 PM [removed angry rant about non cooperative behaviour until I have cooled down a little] I reserve my oppinion for two weeks. As I told, the fact of alerting seems cooperative to me. Compare with 2.5 update. harryo 10-24-2006, 03:35 PM There are no new icons and it seems to work the same to me. Does anyone know what has been improved?

As I told, the fact of alerting seems cooperative to me. Compare with 2.5 update. Since I see absolutely no reason in fixing this local exploit except from keeping us out I call it non-cooperative. I fear that iRex might want to plug each and every hole before they give us the GPLd sources and only limited access to our device. |
