ATTENTION users of Xelagot X1 version number 3.0 or 3.01

I just found a stupid (yes real stupid) bug in my last two versions of X1
xelagot: It fills the ini file in the section [Parameters] with these lines:

http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgdl.html=http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/x
lgdl.html
http://polygon.imatowns.com/viewforum.php?forum=3=http://polygon.imatowns.co

m/viewforum.php?forum=3
....

Unless you upgrade to version 3.02, within a few weeks your X1.ini will be
miles long and X1 will not be able to load it.

Version 3.02 has just been uploaded with the fix. Download it as soon as
possible if you are using versions 3.0 or 3.01, install the new version.
Then, if you wish to clean the X1.ini file, open it in a text processor (not
Wordpad, Notepad or PFE should do), Look for the section [Parameters], and
delete all these lines:

notice that
http://polygon.imatowns.com/viewforum.php?forum=3=http://polygon.imatowns.co
m/viewforum.php?forum=3
may be repeated lots of times!

Save the ini file as text, make sure it gets saved with the same name it
had: X1.ini

My apologies for this blunder,

That's the mem leak's second cousin, the HD space leak.

well yep, but this one goes slow and steady... it might take 10 years of
xelagoting to kill you, but it will :)

Ah well, everyone makes mistakes every now and then. This would be the first semi-serious bug I've seen in the Xelagot. Either you program well or you hide your bugs well :)

There have been quite a few serious bugs... This one is not more serious
than others, except for the fact this bot does not expire, and others did.
This means people are not going to bother to download a newer version,
unless the have a good reason to. That is why I insist on this download :)
