We have pushed ULX 3.54 containing a single bugfix preventing a crash. Apparently something changed in the latest Garry's Mod update, and now the os.date() function crashes if it's fed a time value too large. This crash would occur only to admins who had access to the XGUI ban menu on servers with at least one ban that had an unban time greater than 32535244799 seconds (or about 1,031.69 years).
Additionally, our website has been slightly updated with some minor aesthetic changes (mostly that the tabs at the top are now actually tabs!) We have also added a link to feedburner via the icon on the news tab, where you can subscribe via RSS to receive our latest news updates.

Tomorrow from 8 am to 8 pm EST, ulyssesmod.net and the forums are going on strike to protest SOPA and PIPA. In doing so, we'll be joining Wikipedia (in English), BoingBoing, WordPress, and many others.
A list of participants, and HTML and JavaScript code for anyone who wants to participate, can be found here.
SVN of ULX/ULib and the archives will remain available.

Sorry for the delay on getting this fix to you all!
We originally fixed our code to match Garry's API changes the day he changed it (see previous news post), but then we thought Garry reverted those changes due to complaints from the community. Either we were wrong and his breakages weren't reverted, or he re-implemented the breakages at some point.
Long story short: if you were having problems with an older version of ULX release or SVN (pre-Oct 14), then you should update! The only changes in these updates are the fixes for Garry's API changes.

Garry's changed the file I/O API in today's update. The current release version of ULX and ULib will no longer work at 100% with these changes.
But have no fear! SVN ULib revision 197 and ULX revision 191 have updated all the file function calls to Garry's new standards. We'll wait a day or two to make sure we caught everything before making a .zip release.
This means we need you to let us know if anything's broken in latest SVN. Happy bug hunting!

"The Potato dun turned into a tater!"
Don't hurt me... I still have too much I want to see before I die.
We've got a slew of fixes and a few minor enhancements in this release that we hope you all will enjoy!
We recommend that you remove the old ULX and ULib folders from garrysmod/addons before installing these new versions. Don't worry, your settings, users, groups, and bans will be preserved.
