What's new in this version:

CLIENT

Logs of chat and private messages
Users can toggle on and off, and the logs are stored in xml format.
Expanded View options
When a file is previewed, 1.9 will open it with the appropriate application.
A button to open the download folder
A very convenient time-saver that allows users to dispense with shortcuts and aliases.
Important bug fixes
Including the 27 character Mac file bug, the illegal character Windows file bug and the invisible client bug.
Context specific help
Dedicated buttons on each window link to online help, making it easier to get information on specific tasks, and vastly reducing the size of the Client download file.
Security Upgrades Include: Disabling of most "F12 secret" functions
A proliferation of undocumented easter eggs and special functions created potential security problems for community administrators. Custom icon capability is preserved.

SERVER

A new Message board Service
Flat News in addition to existing threaded News.
Ban by IP-range
A very useful feature for community administrators. This feature will enable much more effective enforcement of server rules.
Important bug fixes and server exploit fixes
Hotline Server 1.9 fixes the invisible user bug, which allowed a user to log in invisibly to the administrator, therefore preventing the admin to remove the user from the server. As well, 1.9 fixes a dangerous exploit that allowed users to crash the server by uploading a folder of a specific type.

spyware! ??? - Version: 1.9, 11/21/2003 12:08AM PST

hercules

According to there site spyware doesn't exist in their s/w!

However, this client is simply cr*p! The only good thing about this client is the ability to list and select multiple users for editing. This is an amazing feature that i'd love to see in other client apps!! However, the rest of it is naff and there's too many windows cluttering up the place! WHY???

Use Heidrun - this is the BEST client

Plus i've started to get an error every minute in this app now.. it doesn't stop my using this but it is annoying! So i use this client to edit users and no more.... use Heidrun!

I've been using hotline for years, it's a nice protocol. F' the company though, they are scumbags...for a server use http://hx.krazynet.com or terra and for a client there are a number of alternatives... HOTSPRINGS INC SUCKS SPYWARE SCUMBAGS I HATE YOU!

Spyware be gone - Version: 1.9, 9/28/2003 01:16PM PST

simply put, krack it, use little snitch, use net barrier to stop it, etc. They have no right to put spyware in it, so take it out.
