This speeds up + operations such as saving and rescanning; it also allow hand-editing + of the data files while the bot is running, since a rescan will load + the changed data files without overwriting them with a useless save + before. Of course this only works if there are no pending changes in + the running bot. + +2007-01-12 Giuseppe Bilotta + + * Server timeout: rework the server timeout code. Instead of PINGing + the server unconditionally every server.ping_timeout seconds, we only + PING it if we don't receive anything in the user-chosen timeout (lazy + PING). The code rewrite also seems to have fixed the "bot stalling + doing nothing" problem, which seemed to have been a consequence of + @socket.select not having a timeout. + +2006-11-01 Giuseppe Bilotta + + * SSL support: patch from Robin H.
