HYLAFAX CHANGE INFORMATION
Note that this is a major new distribution and lots
of things have changed. Consult the general overview
for a high-level description of the new functionality provided in the
v4.0 software.
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:
- support for sending pages has returned; there is a new version
of sendpage and significant new additions to hfaxd
(see below)
CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:
- configure now emits the right definition for
CONFIG_BADEXECVEPROTO for AIX systems
- the check for support for memory-mapped files was corrected
CHANGES TO HFAXD:
- support was added for the Simple Network Pager Protocol (SNPP)
- support was added for filesystems that use the BSD-style
semantics for setting the group ID on created files; hfaxd
dynamically determines if the underlying filesystem for the
spooling area has BSD-style or System V-style semantics and
acts accordingly
- a bug was fixed whereby changes to files were not reflected back
to the information stored in the file cache
- a bug that caused the STOR command to fail when the destination
file did not exist has been fixed
- the NLST command has been implemented
- a new flag was added to control tracing of configuration file processing
- a new job format control, %X, was added for returning the type
of a job as a one character symbol
- a race condition in the JWAIT command was fixed
- a workaround was added for compiling with the HP-UX C++ compiler
- hfaxd no longer aborts when /dev/tcp is found but
/etc/netconfig is not found (required for correct operation
on some versions of SunOS)
CHANGES TO SENDPAGE:
- sendpage was rewritten to support the Simple Network Pager
Protocol (SNPP) as defined in RFC 1861 (with some additions)
- the command-line options have changed; consult the manual page
CHANGES IN MISCELLANEOUS STUFF:
- the dialstring rules files now map alphabetics to their equivalent
numeric key codes
- the System V bootup script etc/hylafax has been changed to
enable SNPP support by default
- tracing functionality was added to the configuration file support
used by all client and server applications
- a bug was fixed in the notify.awk script that could cause
it to go into an infinite loop if certain files were missing
- a syntax error in the notify.awk script was corrected
