     Services 5.0.17 has been released, and can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/               (USA, California)

b4ff31053802c65729d1932174788339  ircservices-5.0.17.tar.gz
e117b0fe1296d9ce085d8b56d4e110bd  ircservices-5.0.17.diff.gz
1ffd73245c280f9e17bd1a5254d72b40  ircservices-5.0.17-1.i386.rpm
2085ee0368f216407bd655a5ad8a756f  ircservices_5.0.17-1_i386.deb

ftp.ircservices.za.net and the other mirrors should have it shortly.
(ftp.ircservices.za.net seems to have a temporary problem with updating.)

     The main reason for this release is to fix a crash that occurs when a
Services administrator tries to use the NickServ UNLINK FORCE command on a
nickname that has no links.  This problem is limited to Services
administrators, so the actual denial-of-service threat is limited, but all
users are recommended to upgrade to this release as soon as possible.

Changes in version 5.0.17
-------------------------
2003/04/20	Fixed crash when using UNLINK FORCE with non-linked nicks.
		    Reported by Matthew Hodgson <arathorn at theonering.net>
2003/04/15	The configure script now uses "conf-tmp" instead of "tmp"
		    as its temporary directory name, to avoid potential
		    clashes with pre-existing directories.
2003/04/12	Precompiled binaries should now work with Linux kernel 2.2.x.
