HYLAFAX CHANGE INFORMATION
This document describes the changes made to the software between the
previous and current versions (see above).
If you don't find something listed here, then it was not done in this
timeframe, or it was not considered important enough to be mentioned.
The following information is located here:
GENERAL CHANGES:
- the location of the faxgetty, faxq, and faxd.recv
programs may move unless you explicitly configure your software to
install them where you want them; beware of this as you
may need to update files that reference these programs
- the default location for faxcron has changed; this
may require changing your crontab entry
- the FAQ has been updated (a little)
CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:
- the DIR_SERVERS target for server programs has been dropped
and programs previously placed there are now installed in DIR_SBIN
or DIR_LIBEXEC
- the default values for DIR_SBIN and DIR_LIBEXEC
have changed from /var/spool/fax/bin and /usr/lib/fax to
/usr/lib/sbin
- ondelay, lockname, faxsend, and
pagesend are now installed in DIR_LIBEXEC
rather than DIR_SPOOL/bin
- all DSOs are now installed in DIR_LIBEXEC
- the default location for ps2fax.exec (the DPS-based RIP for IRIX)
has changed from /var/spool/fax/bin to DIR_LIBEXEC
- -pedantic-errors is now specified when configuring the software
to be built with gcc so that certain C++ constructs used to identify
signal handlers are not misinterpreted as function calls
- if the optional
faxview package
is installed, configure will automatically build its Makefile
CHANGES TO FAXGETTY:
- the Class 1 driver no longer requires the FCF_SNDR bit
be set in each HDLC frame received (except to distinguish between
DIS and DTC); while contrary to CCITT T.30, some fax machines
apparently do not follow the spec in this regard
- utmp and wtmp entries written after a login session terminates no
longer have "DEAD" in the user field, instead they have
a null string
CHANGES TO PAGESEND:
- two bugs that caused pagesend to go into an infinite loop were fixed
CHANGES TO FAXADDMODEM:
- use of "%.*s" in awk scripts has been removed because
certain awks do not support it
