ZServ 1.10.25 - Update Hotfix #1


2024-10-29 • AF-Domains • (General ZDaemon News)

A new version of the ZServ has now been released.

This accounts for a MAPINFO error-handling regression case.

SC_GetFloat: Bad numeric constant "forcenoskystretch".
Script MAPINFO, Line 17


Due to this it is strongly recommended to update to the new ZServ dated 2024-10-29 (it is now available via our Downloads section).
