Topic: 0.6.5 released

Same story as with 0.6.3 and 0.6.4, again we're doing a release to fix a vulnerability. If you're actively playing Teeworlds, you likely already noticed that a lot of servers were full of "(connecting)" clients. This was possible because you could forge the connection packet in a way that made it seem like it came from an arbitrary IP address.

Other than that, the release is mostly technical, allowing to build Teeworlds with the popular CMake build system and fixing a build error with gcc. Additionally, the initial connection handshake turned out to be unnecessarily slow: The client waited 500ms before sending the initial info for player name, clan, tee color, etc.

Go download it now!

It looks like the 0.7.0 release is also coming closer, so maybe this release will have a short lifespan.

Re: 0.6.5 released

Please update your clients and servers as soon as possible, so people can continue playing.

The server info remains open to IP spoofing with this release, unfortunately. Fixing that would currently require an extra round trip with each server.

People writing client/server mods should probably also update their code.

Re: 0.6.5 released

It seems that the Windows binary does not start on Windows 7. I'll look into why that happens. hmm

Re: 0.6.5 released

Yup, THANK YOU to everyone involved in that release!
Unfortunately I hardly get into playing games these days, but I'm happy to see people are still caring here.

The release of the legenday version 0.7.0... one day it will come. It will be a historic day we'll all remember! ^^

Loving TW since 2010 smile

Re: 0.6.5 released

Additionally, and since it has been asked before, the three commits related to patching the security issue are:
