I probably should have spoken sooner, given I do Computer Security professionally. The log4j bug has been around for a bit, and you are right to be concerned because it is extremely bad. Rest assured that freecol is log4j free, and if it had not been, I would have killed its use with fire and pushed out an emergency release.

Did you test classic or freecol rules? classic has a hack to reveal the full 11x11, as required for Col1 compatibility. freecol-rules does not. I do not remember what I did at the time, but judging by reaction on PF83 I probably decided it was excessive for freecol. Is the classic-rules hack not working? FreeCol (the program, not the ruleset:-) (should) distinguish visibility from exploration. Exploration just reveals the terrain and improvements. Visibility is exploration plus units. Here is what I think we have ATM: classic-rules: - 11x11 exploration for all colonies when Coronado joins - ongoing 5x5 visibility of your own colonies only freecol-rules: - 5x5 exploration for all colonies when Coronado joins - ongoing 5x5 visibility of all colonies (provided by seeAllColonies) So if I understand aright, the problem is that classic-rules should also provide 11x11 exploration for new colonies? If so, IMHO the best way to do this is in the update sent to players from the build-colony code.

Hey guys, As some of you know I'm not programmer so anything I say about this should be taken with a grain of salt lol. However today I noticed some panic in the fan game community regarding fan games made with Java due to a 'Java Log4j exploit' recently discovered and doing the media rounds. Thought I better mention it to you guys... https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/log4j-software-bug-cisa-issues-emergency-directive-to-federal-agencies/ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44228 Also is the Nightly pre-release building currently broken? Had a number of fans asking me about them. I've assured them FreeCol is not dead and that the behind the scenes dev emails are flowing bigtime lol.
