Bug Description
Bip 0.9.3 has been released upstream.
Differences with currently schedules for release 0.9.2-1build2 are:
- new feature: SASL authentication support
- fixes for /BIP commands
- bug/compilation warning fixes
The SASL authentication support feature should have a limited impact on bip runtime stability, as the code change is quite limited too, and its code is only called during server connect phases, which happen scarcely during the daemon's life.
We believe it is important it reaches Ubuntu LTS as Libera.Chat, one of the most used network for open-source, has made mandatory authentication through SASL when connecting from a list of IP pools, including from the network of one of the most popular hosting services in France (Scaleway). It's probable they included most popular hosting services around the world in that list.
See https:/
The other changes are fixes and should be included.
Thank you!
