TheIndividual's Journal: More tags, more firmware: Wolfs Alchemy-6rc1w42 released

Today I am proud to present you the second firmware without any tags. It is Wolf's CVS offspin of Alchemy 6rc1 with lots of bugfixes.

Sveasoft increased the security measures and I found the following tags in the filesystem: GIFs with hidden information (replaced),webgui-pages with information encoded in whitespaces (edited) and an all new hidden .reg file (blanked).
I really hope I found them all. The rebuilt firmware works fine on the test machines (thx guys) but remember to reset to Factory default before flashing.

A note about the upcoming activation system, apparently it's going to be completely offline and there will be no communication with the server. So worst case is we have to sacrifice one subscription for each release.

Anyways, Sveasoft has plans to make a modular firmware system: a free core with all current Alchemy functions and non-free, Sveasoft-written add-ons.
As long as Sveasoft doesn't use GPL'ed code in those extra modules, I welcome this change because it could once and for all settle this situation.
Sveasoft's admittedly excellent support as well as the extra modules should be enough motivation for some to pay 20$ a year. Anyone who doesn't need support and/or those modules will hopefully get the firmware for free.

Maybe it's all working out towards a proper solution in the end...

That's because Alchemy is in a feature freeze, meaning no features are added and instead bugs are fixed. So while there won't be a "wow kewl stuff" effect, it might mean more stability and fewer strange behaviour if you update to this version.

A warm "You're welcome" back to spain. I highly appreciate that you took the time to write an english post, exspecially since I never learned spanish. As for the FSF, I would be happy enough if they would reject their former opinion about Sveasoft which was based on the story from James's twisted point of view. Obviously he didn't mention the scam tactics back then...
