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

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

|
|
<asavkov@redhat.com>
|

- 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
|
|

|
|
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

|
|
that requires scripting) - ideas from patch by Anton Lundin
|
|
<glance@acc.umu.se> and discussion on mailing list (2011)
|
|

the user and/or console - suggested by Trevor Fiatal
|
|
<trevor@seven.com>
|
|
- added client -d option for disconnecting users specified by
|
|

|
to give the terminal server a chance to clean up
|
|
- Master server process now fork()s when accepting clients
|
|
- timestamp-spec can be numeric only ('m' default)
|
|
- Ambiguous console name error now shows ambiguous list
|
|
- Console list in conserver.passwd can now have whitespace
|
|
- Access lists in conserver.cf can now use ',' as a separator
|
|
- Added special '*any*' username in conserver.passwd
|
|
- Username match (real or '*any*') now stops conserver.passwd file
|
|
processing - allowing you to lock out users
|
|
- Added -u flag to server to enable "unloved" output - this is the
|
|
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)
|
|
- Changed -r to -G in client so -r could be used for the above
|
|
- Client now uses getpassphrase() (if available) for > 8 char
|
|
passwords - pointed out by Gregory Bond <gnb@itga.com.au>
|
|
- Improved signal handling
|
|
- Improved process handling (POSIX waitpid() now necessary)
|
|
- Significant rework of STREAMS-based pseudo-tty code
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
version 7.0.3 (Jul 5, 2001):

|
|
- TODO file added to distribution
|
|
- 'attached', 'detached', and 'bumped' actions now written to
|
|
console logs that have 'a' in timestamp-spec field

|
|
- Config file much more forgiving about whitespace in fields
|
|
- gethostbyaddr() failures are no longer fatal
|
|
- Added -M to server to specify the address to listen on
|
|
based on code from Enrik Berkhan <Enrik.Berkhan@planb.de>
|

|
|
connect to and listen on (--with-port still sets the default)
|
|
- Added logfile output when going into daemon mode
|
|
- Added --with-logfile to configure
|
|
- Added -L to override compile-time logfile location
|
|

|
|
- Using inet_ntoa() now instead of peeking at bytes

|
specification) based on patch from Benn Oshrin

|
|

|
|

|
|
console/console.c - should have been removed a long time ago
|
|
|
|

- Documented no parity option in conserver.cf.man
|
|
- Lowered default CONNECTTIMEOUT to 10 seconds

|
|
slain by Rob Joyce <robjoyce@ee.princeton.edu>)

|
|

|
|

|
version 6.15 (Mar 6, 2000):
|
|
- Added debug flag (-D) and the beginning of debug output
|
|
- A timeout can now be set for TCP connect() calls. The
|
|
default is 30 seconds. Hosts not responding are only

|
tried once at startup (per child), lessening the impact
|
|
of a down terminal server. See CONNECTTIMEOUT in
|
|
conserver/cons.h.
|
|
|
|
version 6.14 (Jan 5, 2000):

|
|
|
|
version 6.12 (Aug 24, 1999):
|
|
- Blank line bug after '%%' in .cf file (found by Miss
|
|
Himali Patel <cpate03@dcs.bbk.ac.uk>)
|
|

|
|

|
|
before, but slow connections could explain it.
|
|
|
|
version 6.07:
|
|
- Porting infrastructure has been set up in ./port. Solaris
|
|
2.5.1 and BSD/OS 3.1 successfully built.
