- Fixed: a crash of the service when creating identical Telnet connections via mirroring
- Fixed: after editing the connection settings, the changes were occasionally not saved
- Fixed: for client connections on Windows 10, adding a large number of remote hosts could result in high CPU load

- Fixed: a crash of the GUI on attempt to send a mirror request
- Fixed: a condition where a server would sometimes start listening for connections when not supposed to (i.e. when configured to start listening only when the COM port is opened, and the port was closed)
- Fixed: the service could become unresponsive on startup on some older processors
- Fixed: with delayed sending enabled, the data could get split across multiple network packets
- Fixed: the “Break connection if no activity” option was not functional
