CoPaP

Hala, Avlis, Mystara, Abyss, EA, Tairis'nadur:

The new version of VaultSTER has been in beta for awhile and seems reasonably stable now. Improvements will be made all along, of course, but I think it's good enough now to switch over CoPaP to the new version.

The new version of VaultSTER cannot link with the old version, so we kinda need to do this changeover all at once, in order to keep the links up.

I've given the go ahead to start the switchover on Avlis. Anyone else have any issues with doing the same right now?

Question: Is the new version Linux compatable? Was thinking when doing EQ upgrade to switch to Linux.

Thanks,

Seems so, though teleri can speak better about how well it works.

yes the new version is linux compatable and works well. There are a few code changes that need to occur.
