-when CCcam was connecting to a share it kept on connecting on same ip, not very good when a dyndns address was in the config
-ecm request cache didn't work in all situations, caching fixed and improved.
-emm didn't always work on demuxapi systems (e.g. relook, mutant). Fixed.
-WARNING: F: entry syntax changed, check and update your CCcam.cfg; added parameters to allow emusharing and emm, per client
1.1.1

-cards can be shared multiple hops down
-each CCcam node has a unique nodeid
-routes to a card are given with nodelists
-when a card is reachable through multiple routes, each unique route will be available as individual share
******* with nodeid 'abc' in the routelist are never sent to client with nodeid 'abc', to avoid route loops
-watch your shares, including full routelist, on port 15002
-start with -h to view available commandline options
-syslog support, start with -v for more verbosity
-start with -d to run in foreground, and log to console instead of syslog
-inserted cards (in either available reader) start working right away
-all used config and key files are re-read on change, never need to restart CCcam
Im sure others would find this an interesting read.
