From af30183124d40a969040d7de4b3a487feec466e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: est31 Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2016 10:18:29 +0100 Subject: Add option to not send pre v25 init packet The legacy init packet (pre v25) sends information about the client's password that a server could use to log in to other servers if the username and password are the same. All the other benefits of SRP of protocol v25 are missed if the legacy init packet is still sent during connection creation. This patch adds an option to not send the v25 init packet. Not sending the v25 packet means breaking compat with pre v25 servers, but as the option is not enabled by default, no servers are affected unless the user explicitly flips the switch. More than 90% of the servers on the serverlist support post v25 protocols. The patch also fixes a bug with greying out of non compliant servers being done wrongly, the min and max params were mixed. --- src/settings_translation_file.cpp | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/settings_translation_file.cpp') diff --git a/src/settings_translation_file.cpp b/src/settings_translation_file.cpp index f115bc011..0e0c3acc0 100644 --- a/src/settings_translation_file.cpp +++ b/src/settings_translation_file.cpp @@ -98,6 +98,8 @@ fake_function() { gettext("Address to connect to.\nLeave this blank to start a local server.\nNote that the address field in the main menu overrides this setting."); gettext("Remote port"); gettext("Port to connect to (UDP).\nNote that the port field in the main menu overrides this setting."); + gettext("Support older servers"); + gettext("Whether to support older servers before protocol version 25.\nEnable if you want to connect to 0.4.12 servers and before.\nServers starting with 0.4.13 will work, 0.4.12-dev servers may work.\nDisabling this option will protect your password better."); gettext("Saving map received from server"); gettext("Save the map received by the client on disk."); gettext("Connect to external media server"); -- cgit v1.2.3
