- Version 1.2b is another interim update to version 1.2a, and fixes the following bugs:
-
- * Bug in Socks server with misbehaved Socks clients causing WinGate crash
- * Fixed some timing problems in the WWW Proxy, which caused occasional problems submitting
- Forms in Netscape.
- * SOCKS, FTP data, and WWW Proxy transfers now run as idle threads, consuming
- much less processor.

- This file was released on the 29th November 1995.
-
- Version 1.2a is an interim update to version 1.2 (released 25 November 1995), and
- fixes a couple of bugs - specifically:
-
- * Sockets not being made available for re-use properly under Windows95 causing lockup
- * Telnet gateway was sending a single new-line character to remote sites upon connect
- * DNS patch is now DNS relaying under a settings tab, and can be shut down and restarted
-
- Note, when running under Windows95, you may experience Socket-error 10055 errors
- when trying to connect under heavy load (i.e around 35 - 40 active sessions). This seems to be
- a limitation in the operating system, running out of sockets. Under WindowsNT I have not found
- any limitations
-
-
- Changes from WinGate V1.0.03 to version 1.2 are:
-
- * Multi-threaded operation for smoother access.
- * New Interface - tabbed dialogs.
- * Able to monitor active sessions and users.
- * SOCKS server.
- * DNS Patch.
- * Registration and user limitations.
-
- * Plus a couple of bug-fixes.
