Version 0.95 - 09/28/99
- This version was leaked out and has bugs. This was VERY internal and
is likely to give you big problems. It was just my test copy that
was given out for some testing to be done and you know the rest of the
story. Don't ask for support for it on the website or through the
#guildftpd channel on EFNET because it is too buggy. This version was
numbered so that it could be released after bug fixes and after some team
decisions were made about the IRC features. Well, that was all blown. If
you are using it, then who knows what bad luck you will have. And this
also goes for any other non-official releases.
