A couple of problems have shown up in RC4 - these have hopefully been solved now.

The most spectacular bug was the repeated crashes that Brian Lynch reported; it turned out that sending Hobbit a message larger then ~100 KB would crash hobbitd. There was code to catch this, it just didn't work. Thanks a lot for Brian's help in tracking this down.

hobbitd_alert no longer crashes when trying to send a message. This is the one-line fix sent out just after the RC4 was made available.

Another bug that's been resolved is the unexpected "green" recovery-messages. Kevin Hanrahan actually found the cause for me, and once you know what is going on it is so much easier to fix.

And the "route" tag is now working again for the network tests.

A patch for these issues is at http://www.hswn.dk/beta/post-RC4.patch

To install:

cd hobbit-4.0-RC4 patch -p0 </tmp/post-RC4.patch make clean make shutdown hobbit, run "make install" and start hobbit

Note that you must first un-install the one-line hobbitd_alert fix if you installed this: Run "patch -R -p0 < RC4-hobbitd_alert-crash.patch" to back out this patch.

If there are no obvious problems after this patch, I'm tempted to do the official release next week.
