SecureSkat 2.15 released
     posted by stamer, Sat 08 Jun 2019 11:04:42 AM UTC

In this release several minor bugs have been fixed. Thus we recommend all users to update their installations. Moreover, a preliminary version of a simple computer player (SecureSkat_ai) based on heuristic has been added.

SecureSkat 2.13 released
     posted by stamer, Mon 08 Jan 2018 04:39:56 PM UTC

This release fixes a regression introduced in the last release: due to the increased default Rabin key size of 2048 bit the signatures have been also grown. Then the usual character limit of an IRC message (512 bytes) prevents any game session during the bid phase. We solved this issue by reducing the hash size (and algorithm) of the unique game identifier.

SecureSkat 2.12 released
     posted by stamer, Thu 21 Dec 2017 05:14:54 PM UTC

This release is two-fold: First of all, by setting the optional environment variable ALTHOST (i.e. to an onion address of a local running hidden service, see README), the IRC and P2P connections can be established within the TOR network. That means, the program will be called with torsocks and thus does not need a gap or NAT on your Internet [...]

SecureSkat 2.11 released
     posted by stamer, Sun 03 Sep 2017 12:01:02 PM UTC

This is bugfix release that also reflect some small interface changes of LibTMCG. Thus the very recent version (>= 1.3.2) of LibTMCG is required.

SecureSkat 2.10 released
     posted by stamer, Sat 27 May 2017 01:54:08 PM UTC

After many years of inactiveness this release covers some minor bugfixes and improves the security parameters. Thus a recent version (>= 1.3.1) of LibTMCG is needed. Unfortunately, this also breaks backward compatibility with older versions of SecureSkat, i.e., game sessions with peers running a version <= 2.9 cannot be established anymore.

     posted by stamer, Fri 07 Aug 2009 08:10:39 AM UTC

This is a code cleanup and bugfix release. First, some namespace issues have been solved in order to compile with newer versions of GCC and stdc++. Additionally, a bug in the rank statistic command has been fixed which was introduced in the previous version 2.8. Finally, the obsolete GnuTLS dependency has been removed.

     posted by stamer, Thu 10 May 2007 06:22:00 AM UTC

The cryptographic key generation has been improved and some obsolete functions removed. Furthermore, a massive code cleanup has been performed.

SecureSkat 2.7 released
     posted by stamer, Thu 13 Apr 2006 06:22:22 AM UTC

The focus of this release are major feature enhancements in LibTMCG which improve the performance and communication complexity of SecureSkat significantly. Unfortunately, because of this change it is not possible to establish game sessions with versions prior to 2.7. Further, key fingerprints are now showed by the command /players and Null-games are aborted immediately, if they are lost by the playing party.
