Sallos Updates applied 11/8/2009
Tonight we've applied an update to Sallos which allows server-specified code execution. This affords us the following:
To be clear: by running Sallos, you are implicitly agreeing to the execution of code written by RunUO, UOGamers, and Sallos developers.
This is not uncommon functionality. You'll find it in Punkbuster, on Steam, on WoW, and even on EA's Ultima Online. And it's always been in Sallos--and Razor--in the form of auto-patching.
The executed code is cryptographically signed with a 2048-bit key known only to the RunUO team. And it will never be used for malicious purposes: you do not risk your privacy--only your ability to cheat. If you cannot trust us to this end then you should abstain from running our code in any form (ConnectUO, RunUO, Razor, Ultima SDK or Sallos... etc).
This feature is crucial for the continued success of Sallos on UOGamers and will ensure the playing field is leveled for everyone on the shard.
We appreciate your continued support of UOGamers and your continued support of Sallos.
