On 19 June will be deployed an hotfix for the previous build 1.7.1.1, this is the list of fixes:

Hotfix Build 1.7.1.2 Rolling Update

HOTFIX : 19 JUNE 2012

Affected addons:
* dayz_code 1.7.1.2
* dayz_weapons 1.3
* dayz_equip 1.3.1
* dayz_server (server admins only)

Developer’s Note:
* YES: I know this hotfix has content in it. It was content that didn’t make it into the last update, and some of the fixes are bundled with this content, so it was easier to release the content than try to remove it.
* Requires ArmA2 Beta.
* NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT: MELEE WEAPONS ARE QUITE UNDER POWERED CURRENTLY. THEY WILL BE ADJUSTED UPWARDS OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. EACH HAVE DIFFERENT DAMAGE VALUES.
* ALSO NOTE: Melee is just in testing. They may not stay, they are just being tested to see how they perform. They are missing their sound effects, and tweaking of effects also.

Changelog:
* [NEW] Tone Mapping to enhance nightlighting conditions
* [FIXED] Generic Loot not spawning (such as food etc…)
* [FIXED] Animals stand still and HURR DURRR (they now walk around)
* [FIXED] New blood values not being saved when a player eats (they do now)
* [FIXED] Duplicate players not being removed (should now be removed on login)
* [NEW] Melee Weapon introduced: Hatchet (can only drop through right click in gear menu)
* [NEW] Maximum animals increased
* [NEW] Melee Weapon introduced: Crowbar (can only drop through right click in gear menu)
* [NEW] Double Barrelled shotgun sound

DayZ Hacked

The devs posted in the official forum this statement:

“A person has gained access to our main email account which have details listed for our FTP’s, etc. He then uploaded a malicious application to the US file host which has since been taken offline.
The file was called dayz_auto_updater.exe This malicious software is lead to be a backdoor / bot. Below is the ThreatExpert report on this file.

ThreatExpert also explains where this malicious application installs / moves its processes to stay hidden within your computer. So if you are a user who has downloaded the .exe called dayz_auto_updater.exe from the US Mirror is to scan their computer against viruses and read the description by ThreatExpert on where to locate this if your Virus detector does not pick it up.”

So if you downloaded dayz_auto_updater.exe take immediate action.

I just want to clarify that I have recommended in THIS post to download DayZ Updater and this is NOT in any way related with the dayz_auto_updater.exe that was uploaded in the official DayZ repository. DayZ Updater is safe as far as i know.
