I’ve recently updated the server software so it can handle much more connections concurrently. But it is still a poor little server.

With that, I’m today announcing XIM 2.0 and XIM PIN. XIM PIN is a security feature put into XIM to verify that it is, in fact, you who are trying to connect to the network using your URL.

Long story short, you’ll set up a 4-digit PIN. This will be saved to your computer and will be used each time you log in. You only need to enter this once, unless you uninstall/reinstall XKit or move to another computer.

more information about this can be found here.

The XIM server will be down in an hour or so to activate the XIM PIN system. After that, if you get a “Server down” error, you’ll need to update your XIM by going to X icon on your dashboard > XIM > Update.
