Written by The simple XBSlink cloudlist server has been updated to v1.8.
As part of the update, only clients starting from v0.9.5.3 will be able to create or join clouds. This is mainly to prevent cloud overlapping.
experimental NAT feature broken
The experimental NAT feature is currently broken and should not be used. XBSlink will crash if switched on.
The fix is already committed and will be available in the next version.
cloudlist server update will require a minimum XBSlink version
The cloudlist server will be upgraded.
As part of the update the cloudlist server will require the user to use at least a specific XBSlink version (v0.9.5.3) or newer. This is necessary to prevent cloud overlapping.
Please make sure to upgrade your XBSlink client to the current version soon.

cloudlist server 1.7.1 – bugfix
the simple XBSlink cloudlist server (php/sqlite3) v1.7.1 has been released. (see downloads)
the change-log is pretty short this time:
- bug-fix in updateNode function
quick fix – XBSlink v0.9.4.1
shortly after releasing XBSlink v0.9.4.0 I received a message about XBSlink not starting properly if the NPF WinPCap device is not started. I also noticed that the address of the web-service XBSlink is using to discover the external IP address has changed.
both issues are fixed in XBSlink v0.9.4.1
NAT and more – XBSlink v0.9.4.0
Actually i wanted to release the new XBSlink version once the PS3 compatibility mode is fully functional, but since there are many fixes helping all users, here is XBSlink v0.9.4.0.
The overall stability greatly improved, thanks for the bug reports! 
The PS3 compat mode is disabled for now because its not done yet. NAT is working perfectly, but it does not help with PS3 gaming.
PS3 users: no need to enter your PS3 MAC address into the “always forward” list anymore! XBSlink will recognize a PS3 in standard settings, just like with an Xbox360 console.
XBSlink settings will now be saved in a standard way for .NET applications. The settings will be reset to default values, please check your settings!
Check out the full changelog after the break.
XBSlink forum added
Several people asked me to set up a forum dedicated to XBSlink.
Well – here it is: XBSlink Forum
Feel free to ask for help, discuss issues, report bugs or even bring in new ideas!
PS3 compatibility update testers wanted!
To finish the next release of XBSlink i need some testers for the new PS3 compatibility update!
Ideally you and a buddy are already playing PS3 games with XBSlink. (Both ends have to run the new version)
If you are interested please send a note to xbslink AT secudb.de
