• Increased the probability of obtaining shells in local and remote exploits.
  
  
• Now administrators are less demanding when updating the libraries of their systems, especially notable in low security networks. Therefore they are not updated so frequently.
  
  
• Now admins are less demanding with permissions of sensitive folders such as /etc, /var, /sys, /lib. Therefore it is more likely to find machines with these permissions more open, especially in low security networks.

• Fixed bug #412: Game crashes when exit in macOS.

• Added option in the hackshops to show the items by Tools, Local Exploits, Remote Exploits, and credentials obtained.
  
  
• Added option in the hackshops to choose to download the compiled version of an Exploit or the source code.
  
  
• Fixed bug in the exploit generation, causing local exploits with root credentials to never be generated.
  
  
• Probability of generating root vulnerabilities slightly increased.
  
  
• Reduced number of exploits generated in hackshops for each new version of a library.
  
  
• Fixed bug that caused a tendency to generate a high number of requirements in the exploits.
  
  
• Fixed bug in the configuration of the size of a compiled script, causing the plain text size to be used.
  

• Fixed regression bug that caused the terminal to be released if "Enter" was pressed while a script was running. Causing the message "there is already a script running in this terminal"
  
  
• Fixed regression bug in hackshops, causing no Jobs to be shown.
  
  
• Network performance improvements in the clock data sent to players.
  
  
• Fixed regression bug in the "cd" command, causing the relative paths not being recognized.
  
  
• Fixed bug in the npc admin restoration, causing the websites not to be restored.

Hello everyone!

In this version there are important changes at the technical level.
The network layer used by the game has been completely replaced by a lightweight, secure and more stable solution.

With the new network system the game server uses less resources, there is better control of the lag with respect to client connections and therefore the random disconnections that sometimes occurred without apparent pattern should be solved, in addition to other network instabilities.

Another positive aspect of this change is that from this update the macOS version is officially supported, since until now a problem in the old network system in macOS prevented it from being published as compatible.

The change in the store page about the macOS support will be reflected when version 0.7 goes to public.

• Replaced network layer used in the game.
  
  
• Exploit balancing: Recently updated library exploits are less likely to give root privileges than a vulnerability from an old library.
  
  
• Performance improvements when connecting to online mode or launching Single Player mode.
