Routing Server quiet release, surprise new documentation

Posted at September 28, 2004 10:26 AM in BitWise .

Sometimes the best things go unheralded. Yesterday the BitWise Routing Server 1.0.3 was quietly released, preceding the release of the 1.0.3 client by a few days. Staggering the releases makes things easier here, letting us focus now on only the client release. The only major addition to the Routing Server since 1.0.2 is the ability to direct the UDP traffic for voice chats.

Continuing with the additional documentation, various events spurred the creation of two unplanned new pages, one detailing OS X firewall setup to allow BitWise traffic, the other dealing with the differences between the Free and Pro versions of BitWise. Such items are welcome additions prior to the flurry sounding the 1.0.3 release. All of the direct connection documentation was also updated now that UDP is needed for voice and voice is soon to be released.

Look for 1.0.3 on Thursday. Hopefully the existing translation files will all be updated before then so that first-time users using the new 1.0.3 installer will have instant access to the most updated translation right from the setup.
