Those of you who sometimes check out the press releases on the official TeamSpeak website might already have noticed that a new atricle has been published a few days ago. TeamSpeak Systems is now an official sponsor of the SC Riessersee ice hockey team in Germany for the upcoming season 2007-2008.

As part of the sponsorship, the official TeamSpeak logo appears right on the Olympia Eishalle's bully circle which can be seen by almost any location within the stadium's seating. The Olympia Eishalle is host to more than 300000 annual visitors. TeamSpeak Systems has booked 20 meters of banner space in the Olympia Eishalle and is planning on continued support for future SC Riessersee seasons.

On a side note the article also mentions that TeamSpeak 3 is now scheduled for release in early 2008.

Press Release on TeamSpeak.com

We're proud to introduce that Planet TeamSpeak has acquired additional domain names. Our website can now be reached at the following additional three domains:

• www.planetteamspeak.de
• www.planetteamspeak.net
• www.planetteamspeak.org

When you're using one of these URLs, you'll automatically be redirected to planetteamspeak.com which is still used as primary domain. The DNS server records for the domains have been set, but there will be a propagation period of 24-72 hours whilst the update spreads across.

On a special note, we'd like to thank ^^kev### for providing us with the planetteamspeak.de domain.

We're sure some of you have noticed the recent, high rate of URL spamming on TeamSpeak 2 servers. The scenario is always the same: An unknown user connects to a server using an URL as nickname. We know that there are several applications and scripts out there that will automatically kick or ban the user, but the URL will still be seen by others in the clients chatlog.

To avoid this issue, Steven has created a small proof of concept application called TSQueue which uses the Linux netfilter userspace packet queue to parse all login packets sent to your server by a TeamSpeak 2 client. If the nickname includes www. or http://, the application will overwrite the nickname with a pre-defined value.

The application is released under the GNU General Public License, so you're allowed to modify, copy and redistribute the source code.

If you have any thoughts or feedback regarding the application, please feel free to contact us.

News on TeamSpeak.com

The TeamSpeak development team has published a new developer release of the TeamSpeak 2 server. The new version 2.0.23.20 fixes a SQL injection bug which only affects servers running on MySQL databases. This issue has been reported yesterday in the official TeamSpeak forums. 

If your TeamSpeak server is running on a MySQL database, you should update immediately. Otherwise, an update is not necessary since the native SQLite database is not vulnerable to this bug.

Downloads are available from our download area or the official TeamSpeak website.
