[IRCServices] Services 5.0.42 released

     Services 5.0.42 has been released, and can be downloaded from:

http://www.ircservices.za.net/download/   (Japan)

The mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release contains the accumulated fixes and updates from the
period the homepage has been down.  Please note in particular that the
Japanese language file bug can be exploited by a user with Services
operator privileges to crash Services; while Services operators are
presumably trusted, users of Services should upgrade to this version as
soon as convenient to avoid potential damage from malicious scripts or
IRC client security holes.

     Incidentally, as has already been pointed out to me privately, some of
the mailing list web interface links still point to the .za.net domain.
I'll work on getting these fixed as soon as possible.
