An independently maintained quality-of-life update to the Liberty Unleashed client by Jack Powell (GTA Connected). This release features a full server browser rebuild, critical security fixes, and HTTPS/IPv6 support.


Changelog - 0.1.0.18

Security

• Fixed a buffer overflow when entering a long server address in the Add Server dialog.
• Fixed a heap overflow that a malicious or compromised server could trigger via a crafted rules response.
• Fixed a use-after-free (and a related double-free) in the update checker's HTTP fetch retry path.
• Fixed a potential crash from an unchecked network fetch result in the update dialog.
• Fixed a startup failure on Windows XP caused by an unconditional dependency check.
• Fixed a small memory leak in the launched game process on every connect (a failed cleanup call was silently ignored).
• Fixed a process/thread handle leak on every successful game launch.
• Fixed saved data files being read in text mode, which could silently corrupt embedded binary fields depending on their exact byte content.

Added

• The interface now scales correctly on high-DPI displays.
• Non-ASCII characters in file paths and player names are now handled correctly (previously could be corrupted depending on system codepage).
• Server list/update/MOTD requests now support real TLS (HTTPS) and IPv6, neither of which the plain HTTP/1.0-over-IPv4 client supported.
• The website link in the About dialog is now clickable.
• The server list now automatically re-queries whichever servers are currently visible on screen once a second, so ping/player count/etc. stay live without needing to reselect a row or hit Refresh.
• Import Settings.../Export Settings... now actually work, letting you back up or restore your preferences to/from a file.
• The History and LAN tabs' columns are now sortable, including History's "Last Played" column - the original client never supported sorting either of these two tabs.
• A newly-arrived server (from a live list refresh, LAN broadcast reply, etc.) now inserts into its correct position if you already have a tab sorted, instead of appearing out of order until the next manual re-sort.
• This new once-a-second auto-refresh can be turned off from Settings, if you'd rather the list stay static.
• The About dialog now credits ongoing maintenance work, with a link to gtaconnected.com.
• Refresh Master List and Check for Updates now gray out while a request is already in progress, so a second click can't queue a redundant one on top of it.
• The server list now shows GTA:IV as its own game type, for servers running GTA Connected.
• Trying to connect to a server running an unsupported mod or game now shows a clear message naming what it's actually running, instead of a confusing generic failure.

Fixed

• Fixed the Internet and Official tabs flashing empty and refilling piecemeal every time you switched to them or hit Refresh - the list now updates in place, only removing servers that are no longer listed and adding ones that are new.
• Fixed text in the About dialog being clipped at higher display scaling.
• Fixed the server details panel occasionally showing another server's info instead of the selected server's.
• Reduced flickering in the server list, rules list, and Favourites/History tabs when they update or load.
• The update prompt and update progress window no longer let you click back into the main window while they're open.
• Fixed the main window background showing as a bright blue on some Windows color schemes.
• Fixed Official servers occasionally sticking around permanently after they stopped being Official, and sometimes incorrectly appearing or disappearing from the Internet tab as a side effect.
• Fixed several disabled menu items (Delete Server, Refresh Server, Refresh Master List) not appearing grayed out even though they were disabled - most noticeable on Windows XP, where it was especially hard to tell they weren't clickable.
• Fixed the whole window freezing - sometimes for the better part of a minute - whenever the server list refresh, update check, update download, or a server's MOTD had to wait on a slow or unresponsive server. These all happen in the background now instead of blocking the window.
• Fixed several error/warning dialogs (invalid directory prompts, failed queries, nickname reminders, etc.) not being modal to the main window - you could click back into the main window while one was open instead of it blocking input like every other dialog does.
• Fixed the players list and rules list clearing themselves if you clicked a tab while a server with players was already selected.

Changed

• Switched the UI font to the system default for better readability at larger interface scales.
