CHANGES
=======
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):
- Determining if the local conserver controls a port (with
@conserver spec) we now compare ip addresses instead of
hostnames
- Invalid argument now shows -h output
version 6.13 (Dec 1, 1999):
- High-bit always stripped from network - now follows
CPARITY setting in cons.h (found by Daniel Andersson
<daniel@sto.sema.se>)
- New conserver -i flag for on-demand connects/disconnects
to console ports (contributed by Thomas E. Knowles
<tek@CS.Princeton.EDU>)
- Solaris, Linux, and others now use tcsendbreak()
version 6.12 (Aug 24, 1999):
- Blank line bug after '%%' in .cf file (found by Miss
Himali Patel <cpate03@dcs.bbk.ac.uk>)
Special thanks to Michael Sullivan <mike@trdlnk.com> for
the following improvements and fixes...
- Read result bug in group.c caused lock up
- Signal handling fixes and cleanup
- Several minor spelling errors in strings and comments
- Solaris package creation scripts (contrib/solaris-package)
- Extended syntax of the access restrictions to understand
network numbers with optional netmasks
version 6.11 (May 14, 1999):
- Added broadcast capability in client (-b option)
- Protected certain escape sequences from end-user use
- Added "console server shutting down" broadcast
- Improved local tty break code (thanks Craig and Brian!)
version 6.10 (Jan 26, 1999):
- Documentation fixes
- Web page up and running
version 6.09:
- Added more documentation (look for README and INSTALL files).
- Fixed up man pages so they are more accurate.
version 6.08:
- Added support for Linux 2.X and IRIX 6.X
- Fixed "suspend" code in client - it shouldn't have worked
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.
- Added CHANGES and README files. Wow, starting to document!
version 6.06:
- SIGUSR1 now tells the console server to try and reopen all
currently downed consoles.
- Cleaned up configuration file (cons.h) and Makefiles.
version 6.05:
- conserver.cf change: groups and their passwords have been
removed and timestamp specifications have been added.
before version 6.05:
- Many, many variations. Nothing was tracked well. Bug fixes
and enhancements of various types were applied.
