ftp.ircservices.za.net and the other mirrors should have it shortly.
This release corrects the crash on SQUIT reported a few days ago; if
aren't experiencing this problem, you don't need to upgrade immediately.
(Due to the memory layout of the relevant data, this problem only occurs
under certain environments--if you can SQUIT a server once without Services
crashing, you're probably safe.)
I've also removed the "sockets BUG" message that has from time to
time filled up people's log files. I still haven't been able to pinpoint
the problem itself, but I'll be switching to a revised version of the
socket handling code for Services 5.1 (which, coincidentally, I've finally
started working on), so this will hopefully suffice as a workaround for the
meantime.
