  124. <br />
  125. <a href="https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/freedink/dfarc-3.14.tar.gz">https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/freedink/dfarc-3.14.tar.gz</a>
  126. <br />
  127.  
  128. <br />
  129. This release fixes CVE-2018-0496: Sylvain Beucler and Dan Walma discovered several directory traversal issues in DFArc (as well as in the RTsoft's Dink Smallwood HD / ProtonSDK version), allowing an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the user's system.
  130. <br />
  131.  
  132. <br />
  133. Also in this release:
  134. <br />
  135.  
  136. <br />
  137. - New Swedish and Friulian translations.
  138. <br />
  139.  
  140. <br />
  141. - Updated Catalan, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish translations.
  142. <br />
  143.  
  144. <br />
  145. - Fix crash when clicking on 'Package' when there is no D-Mod present.
  146. <br />
  147.  
  148. <br />
  149. - Compilation fixes for OS X.
  150. <br />
  151.  
  152. <br />
  153. - Reproducible build process for Windows (as well as GNU/Linux depending on your distro) - see <a href="https://reproducible-builds.org/">https://reproducible-builds.org/</a>
  154. <br />
  155.  
  156. <br />
  157.  
  158. <br />
  159. A note about distros security support:
  160. <br />
  161.  
  162. <br />
  163. - Debian Security team graciously issued a CVE ID under 72h but declined both a security upload and a rationale on their choice; fix diverted to the next ~quarterly point release
  164. <br />
  165. - Fedora/RedHat security did not answer after 6 days; fortunately Fedora is flexible enough to allow package maintainers to upgrade DFArc in previous releases on their own
  166. <br />
  167. - Gentoo Security did not answer after 7 days
  168. <br />
  169. - FreeBSD ports and Mageia packagers were contacted but did not answer
  170. <br />
  171. - In Arch, package still stuck between orphaned and deleted state due to a 2017 bug
  172. <br />
  173.  
  174. <br />
  175. It seems security support for packages without large user base and/or games is delayed significantly at best.

  267. - Never recreate an empty hard.dat in the game, even if there's a problem opening it (avoids corruption when running both the game and an editor at the same time).

  488. <br />
  489.  
  490. <br />
  491. DFArc v3.8.1 is a stable-branch update that mainly adds a new Dutch translation that I had forgotten to include in v3.8.

  510.      <div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>As you may have seen, some developers of VLC, a multimedia player recently ported to iPhone/iPad, plan to enforce the GNU General Public License on the AppStore:
  511. <br />
  512. <a href="http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/vlc-enforcement">http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/vlc-enforcement</a>
  513. <br />
  514.  
  515. <br />
  516. AppStore has Terms of Service incompatible with the GNU GPL, and so far they removed GPL Apps rather than fix their TOS.
  517. <br />
  518.  
  519. <br />
  520. There's been a few negative reactions towards those developers, out of disappointment that VLC may be pulled out of AppStore.
  521. <br />
  522.  
  523. <br />
  524. I want to stress this: the issue is that Apple has bad Terms of Service for the AppStore.  The fact it's a big company doesn't change it: it's their mistake, and they need to fix it.  Don't blame on VLC developers if Apple doesn't make a move.
  525. <br />
  526.  
  527. <br />
  528. It's worth noting that, due to technical restrictions (Tivoization), AppStore is the only place where iPhone/iPad users can install software from.  Let's also remind us that Apple keeps 30% on all AppStore sales.
  529. <br />
  530. ( More info at <a href="http://www.freedink.org/get#iphone">http://www.freedink.org/get#iphone</a> )

  532.  
  533. <br />
  534. GNU FreeDink, the free, portable and enhanced version of the Dink Smallwood game engine which I maintain, faces the same issue and cannot be ported to iPhone/iPad for that reason.
  535. <br />
  536.  
  537. <br />
  538. The Free Software Foundation runs a campaign against those locked-in devices.  If you own one, tell your disappointment to Apple now:

  746. However, the PSP platform suffers from Tivoization; you need to unlock it through a workaround to run 3rd-party applications. This is only possible with PSP 1 and 2 (not with v3). Here's how:

  770. <br />
  771. Plus it works fine with Wine.
  772. <br />
  773.
