Check the manpages for details, and let me know if you see any problems! version 8.0.8 (Dec 2, 2003): - added client ^Ec| sequence for running a command on the client and having it's I/O directed to the console - inspired by discussions with David Williamson years ago ;-) - touched up Makefiles to test against .h files - fixed inability to replay the console log while the console is down - reported by Matt Selsky - added a console 'logfilemax' option for rotating the console logfile once the file is greater than the specified size - added sample configuration files to conserver.cf/samples - tweaked some failure messages and initcmd notifications Bryan Stansell From bryan@stansell.org Wed Dec 10 10:49:01 2003 Received: from underdog.stansell.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id hBAIn0oF003986; Wed, 10 Dec 2003 10:49:00 -0800 (PST) Received: (from bryan@localhost) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id hBAIn0O5003985; Wed, 10 Dec 2003 10:49:00 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 10:49:00 -0800 From: Bryan Stansell To: announce@conserver.com, users@conserver.com Message-ID: <20031210184900.GG5206@underdog.stansell.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.39 Cc: Subject: conserver-8.0.9 is available X-BeenThere: announce@conserver.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.3 Precedence: list List-Id: Conserver Announcements List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 18:49:03 -0000 If you're using socket-based consoles (like a terminal server) and trying to run any of the 8.0.X code, please upgrade to 8.0.9. A major connect()/select() handling bug is fixed that prevents consoles from timing out. Certain cases allow the pre-8.0.9 code to work, but it seems more a fluke than anything else. version 8.0.9 (Dec 10, 2003): - fixed major bug in connect() handling which causes most socket-based consoles to timeout after 10 seconds - reported by Tom Rataski - added a couple details to the 'logfilemax' manpage entry Bryan Stansell
