|
|
|
version 8.2.1 (Jun 2, 2015):
|
|

|
|
already had the code - this was mostly an oversight
|
|

|
|
<asavkov@redhat.com>
|
|
- expanded break sequences from [1-9] to [1-9a-z] - based on patch by

|
|
- missing closedir() causing memory leak - patch by Anton Lundin

|
|
- sending a break signal over IPMI was broken - based on patch by
|
|
Alexander Y. Fomichev <git.user@gmail.com>
|
|
- IPv6 support (marked as experimental at this point because it's
|
|
untested (except by the author), there's a lack of documentation, and
|
|
I'm hoping for non-getifaddrs() system support) - patch by Milos
|
|
Vyletel <milos.vyletel@gmail.com>
|
|
- no more K&R compiler support
|
|
|

|
|
- fixed memory leak using timestamps - patch by Karvendhan M.
|
|

|
|
arugments instead of testing for it

|
|
authentication - based on discussion with Ryan Kirkpatrick
|

|
|
<tls@coyotepoint.com>
|
|
- added server-side tasks (see conserver.cf man page) that are invoked
|
|
by the client (useful for things like IPMI-based power control of
|
|
servers, invoking resets of terminal server ports, or anything else
|
|
that requires scripting) - ideas from patch by Anton Lundin
|
|
<glance@acc.umu.se> and discussion on mailing list (2011)
|
|

version 8.0.3 (Oct 6, 2003):

it into the client console attachment sequence

|
the console
|
|

- added client -t option for sending "text messages" to users,
|
|
which is similar to broadcast messages, but you can specify
|
|
the user and/or console - suggested by Trevor Fiatal
|
|
<trevor@seven.com>
|
|
- added client -d option for disconnecting users specified by
|
|
username and/or console - suggested by Trevor Fiatal
|
|
<trevor@seven.com>

|
some hasn't - my goal for beta2 is to have all the docs updated

|
- many command-line options now also conserver.cf options options

|
zero status are still reinitialized) - requested by William P
|
|
LePera <lepera@us.ibm.com> and Malcolm Gibbs
|
|
<Malcolm.Gibbs005@msd.govt.nz>

|

|
|
master process fork() code)

|
Stansell <todd@stansell.org>

|
- Hostname in access list that began with a digit was treated as

an IP address - only strings using [0-9./] are considered CIDR

|
|
- Fixed SIGHUP always opening logfile(-L) - shouldn't without -d
|
|
- Fixed 'make install' problem under MacOS X and cygwin
|
|
- Client -l option totally broken in 7.0.3 - patch by Daniel E.
|
|
Singer <des@cs.duke.edu>
|
|
- Client now accepts IP addresses from server and server now sends
|
|
the IP of the socket instead of its hostname to the client,
|
|
fixing part of the multi-interface problem
|
|
- Client no longer passes hostname to server along with username
|
|

|
|
to give the terminal server a chance to clean up

|
|

|
|
opposite of the old -n flag, which now does nothing
|
|
- Added -7 flag to client and server for stripping the high bit
|
|
of data on either side (--disable-8bit removed)
|
|
- Added -b to server to specify the base port number for the
|
|
secondary communication channel - based on code from Enrik
|
|
Berkhan <Enrik.Berkhan@planb.de>
|
|
- Changed -d and -D flags to -r and -R in client - now -D enables
|
|
debugging mode in the client (and -d is unused)
|

|
|

|
|
- TCP connections ('!' config syntax) now have some Telnet protocol
|
|
knowledge, removing the "noise" seen when connecting to a terminal
|
|
server - reported by Todd Stansell <todd@stansell.org>
|
|
- Various code and message "pretty-printing" done
|
|
- Client and server both run in Windows (tested with Windows
|
|
2000) under the cygwin environment thanks to a debug-fest with
|
|
Emmett Hogan <hogan@gnac.com>
|
|
- Using autoconf version 2.50
|
|
- Man pages reworked and conserver.passwd page created by Dave
|
|
Stuit <djs@gnac.com> - the pain he suffered documenting
|
|
the program (and pointing out many of the bugs fixed above)
|
|
should help endless others

|

|
|
- A timeout can now be set for TCP connect() calls. The

of a down terminal server. See CONNECTTIMEOUT in
|
|
conserver/cons.h.

|
|
version 6.14 (Jan 5, 2000):

|
|
Himali Patel <cpate03@dcs.bbk.ac.uk>)

|

|
|
- Porting infrastructure has been set up in ./port. Solaris
|
|
2.5.1 and BSD/OS 3.1 successfully built.
