So, what is Ivor wrong about? It's unlikely that the server performs a full check of all files used by the client each time a client connects (if that were the case, Ivor's quick fixes wouldn't be possible). When connecting, something like this happens: HELLO!, I'm client WT version so-and-so (the version number is retrieved from some library, where it's written during the update), login/password if available, and then the server, depending on the results of the version check sent by the client, either sends a command to forcibly disconnect or connects to the desired window with a repeating message. Kostya says that if you find the place where this is recorded and change the value to the desired one, you can use the module even from the beta version.
