Unusual client startup message.

[Tonmoor]

I'm running the Linux client (2007/12/11 cvs version because std 1.5.0 was crashing) and I got an unusual message at startup today. When it got to the screen with progress bar bar a box popped up, in the client, saying something like "client updated, restarting now", and the client restarted. Is this usual? I've never seen this before, so I was wondering. I did search the forums but found nothing about this (actaully got no results, is the search working?).

I had the same yesterday but normal today.

"client updated, restarting now"

Everyone should have gotten it. Radu sent out a message on the game server.

Umm, if you get a message telling you that the client is updated and will restart now, then it restarts, what's so unusual about it?

Nothing, really. It was just the first time that I saw that with elc, it said the client had been updated and I was not aware that elc was self-updating (apart from data in ~/.elc/). Like I said I couldn't find anything in the forums about it, so I decided to ask to make sure no 3b1l h4XX0rs were at work Not that I thought that. It's just better to ask a stupid question then not to ask when you should.

 

EDIT Was that message because there was a larger than normal update to the data in ~/.elc/ , by the way? I had'nt logged in with linux for a couple of weeks.

No, just one small file.
