New features:

• IPv6 support (.NET Framework version 3.5 and 4.6 only)
• New parameter GenuineParameter.TcpReuseAddressPort (bool).
  Indicates whether to use TCP port sharing. If set the listener port will be shared (other apps can use the same one). In this case the socket option System.Net.Sockets.SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress will be applied. See MSDN Doc. Default value is false.
• New parameter GenuineParameter.TcpDualSocketMode (bool).
  The TCP dual socket mode will enable both IPv4 and IPv6 for the socket listener (Vista and Longhorn above only). This will be true by default. If you like to force IPv4 or IPv6 listening only, set this option to false.

ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll:

• Using built-in compression classes instead of the external ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll library for traffic compression.

BinaryFormatter security fixes:

• Deserialization of dangerous delegates (i.e., Process.Start, File.Delete, etc).
• Unsafe deserialization of DataSet and WindowsIdentity classes.
• See Zyan.SafeDeserializationHelpers and ysoserial.net for more details.
