BYOND 341 includes several bug fixes and new features, improving BYOND's stability, bandwidth, and security. This release (341.877) supercedes all 341 betas, so you should also upgrade if you installed a beta. Notable changes include:
- BYOND now compresses large messages except when communicating with older servers/clients.
- You can now prevent spoofing of your hub entry by using world.hub_password and setting up a password in your hub entry. It is strongly recommended that all game developers update to 341 and use world.hub_password for added hub security.
- client.edge_limit has been added.
- url_encode() and url_decode() make working with HTML pages and links easier.
- The new md5() proc can enhance security by allowing games to easily check for tampered data, among other things.
- BYOND is now available for OpenBSD.
