There were only a couple of changes since the 8.0.0-beta4 release, so I feel comfortable finally packaging it up. Here are the changes since 8.0.0-beta4. For those upgrading from pre-8.0.0 versions, *please* read the INSTALL file for details on migration. version 8.0.0 (Sep 22, 2003): - better error messages and management of the user's password - 8.0.0-beta4 mistakenly lost conserver.passwd usage - empty passwords now don't trigger a passwd prompt (like 7.2.7) - upgraded to autoconf-2.57 and use recent config.guess/sub files - suggested by Jorgen Hagg - we now install the conserver.rc file as well as sample conserver.cf and conserver.passwd files in $(prefix)/share/examples/conserver - suggested by Hubert Feyrer Bryan Stansell From bryan@stansell.org Mon Sep 29 09:01:02 2003 Received: from underdog.stansell.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id h8TG12bs021526; Mon, 29 Sep 2003 09:01:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bryan@localhost) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id h8TG1257021525; Mon, 29 Sep 2003 09:01:02 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 09:01:02 -0700 From: Bryan Stansell To: users@conserver.com, announce@conserver.com Message-ID: <20030929160102.GA21497@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-8.0.1 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, 29 Sep 2003 16:01:03 -0000 This release is a mix of important bug fixes (if you're using 8.0.0, please upgrade to 8.0.1), an added feature, and some slight adjustments to existing code. The new feature is the addition of an 'initcmd' console directive. When a console is brought up, the command is run (with it's I/O redirected to the console). This allows you to authenticate to terminal servers, initialize devices, or anything else. A version of the chat program was contributed and (see contrib/chat) to work with this new feature. I hope everyone enjoys the new code and please let me know if you see any problems. Here is the detailed list of changes: version 8.0.1 (Sep 29, 2003): - fixed bug in access list parsing where multiple addresses per line can cause errors - reported by Jay McCanta - changed client password prompt to show hostname passed down by the server - suggested by Toby Gerhart - fixed bug where remote console names were only search for substring matches - reported by Toby Gerhart - the server -M option wasn't being used properly to limit the consoles managed by the host - added 'initcmd' console option which allows a command to interact with a console right after a console is opened - suggested by Greg Woods - added the chat program contributed by Greg Woods to the contrib/chat directory - added WUNTRACED to waitpid() for catching suspended processes - reworded some client/server messages to be clearer - embedded non-printable characters in break lists now display correctly when '^Ecl?' is used - in case client aborts unexpectedly, terminal state should now be restored to normal Bryan Stansell
