It also adds a new "MOTD" feature, for displaying messages when users attach to a console. Here are the complete list of changes... version 8.0.2 (Oct 5, 2003): - reworked the i/o calls to better buffer data - added console 'motd' option for holding a "message of the day", displayed to the client on attachment to console - suggested by Toby Gerhart - added ^Ecm client command for displaying MOTD and integrated it into the client console attachment sequence - now unallocate client lists when forking new child conserver processes - changed strdup() to local StrDup() so dmalloc can gracefully track changes - added a ^Ec; sequence to let client signal server when it's ready to see console data, otherwise a chatty console can cause the login sequence to fail and you can never attach to the console Bryan Stansell From bryan@stansell.org Mon Oct 6 10:34:19 2003 Received: from underdog.stansell.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id h96HYJbs019104; Mon, 6 Oct 2003 10:34:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bryan@localhost) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id h96HYJjb019103; Mon, 6 Oct 2003 10:34:19 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2003 10:34:18 -0700 From: Bryan Stansell To: announce@conserver.com, users@conserver.com Message-ID: <20031006173418.GB12341@underdog.stansell.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i Cc: Subject: conserver-8.0.3 is available X-BeenThere: announce@conserver.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.2 Precedence: list List-Id: Conserver Announcements List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 06 Oct 2003 17:34:22 -0000 Yes, that's right, 8.0.3 already. Why? A fairly major bug was found in the SIGHUP code. The problem is that certain fields are not updated when the configuration file is re-read. All previous 8.0.x versions have this bug, so please upgrade if you're using any of them. version 8.0.3 (Oct 6, 2003): - the SIGHUP process fails to pick up changes to certain fields because of a horribly broken SwapStr() function [broken in all previous 8.0.x versions] - reported by Toby Gerhart Bryan Stansell From bryan@stansell.org Fri Oct 10 13:49:12 2003 Received: from underdog.stansell.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id h9AKnCW6021596; Fri, 10 Oct 2003 13:49:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bryan@localhost) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id h9AKnCLb021595; Fri, 10 Oct 2003 13:49:12 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 13:49:12 -0700 From: Bryan Stansell To: announce@conserver.com, users@conserver.com Message-ID: <20031010204912.GB21563@underdog.stansell.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i Cc: Subject: conserver-8.0.4 is available X-BeenThere: announce@conserver.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.2 Precedence: list List-Id: Conserver Announcements List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 20:49:14 -0000 Yep, I've decided to go ahead and just release new versions relatively quicky. I figure it's good to get the code out to folks and make the fixes available. Upgrade as you can! Here are the list of changes, all fixes in response to reports from various users. I hope they do everything I think they do. ;-) Keep sending in the bug reports as you find them! version 8.0.4 (Oct 10, 2003): - fixed client rejection bug that can nearly never happen - reported by Han Pilmeyer - fixed bug where client is reconnected to the previous console when non-exact console names are used - reported by Rolf Petter Halle - fixed bug where exact matchs on a remote console name never happened - reported by Toby Gerhart - fixed bug where SIGHUP fails to update console aliases - reported by Han Pilmeyer Bryan Stansell From bryan@stansell.org Fri Oct 31 10:23:29 2003 Received: from underdog.stansell.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id h9VINT9W015756; Fri, 31 Oct 2003 10:23:29 -0800 (PST) Received: (from bryan@localhost) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id h9VINTYe015755; Fri, 31 Oct 2003 10:23:29 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2003 10:23:29 -0800 From: Bryan Stansell To: announce@conserver.com, users@conserver.com Message-ID: <20031031182329.GA15713@underdog.stansell.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i Cc: Subject: conserver-8.0.5 is available X-BeenThere: announce@conserver.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.2 Precedence: list List-Id: Conserver Announcements List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2003 18:23:32 -0000 Looks like 8.0.5 is the Halloween release...I hope it doesn't turn into a pumpkin. ;-) This release has two minor enhancements and a few bug fixes. If anyone sees any problems, please let me know. Happy Halloween! version 8.0.5 (Oct 31,2003): - added 'loghostnames' config option (default is on) to log client hostnames instead of ip addresses (like pre-8.0.0) - suggested by Han Pilmeyer - fixed bug where 'daemonmode' config file option wasn't being used - fixed potential logfile (-L) opening problem processing SIGHUP - fixed various potential conserver.cf issues with 'config' block values processing SIGHUP - added 'setproctitle' config option (default is off) to enable changing the process title to contain runtime information - patch by Dmitry Morozovsky Bryan Stansell
