History
-------
0.00 -- 02 Oct 95
First working version. Released only to a few people.
0.01a -- 05 Oct 95
Added pppkill command to close a connection. Improved handling of closed
connections. Probably fixed all the problems (ie computer hanging!) when the
PPPdriver is RMKilled.
0.01b -- 12 Oct 95
Improved PAP support (now works with the pap-secrets file like the Unix
version). Every PPP unit is reinitialised after a connection close (ie it is
possible to re-use a PPP unit after its previous connection has been closed).
0.01c -- 19 Oct 95
First ShareWare release.
0.01d -- 26 Oct 95
A PPP_FLAG is sent if the serial line has been inactive for some time (to
flush any spurious data at the other end). Small improvement in the
efficiency of the encoding procedure.
0.02a -- 01 Nov 95
Some minor bugfixes. Improved registration scheme (now usercode-based).
Maximum connection time for the ShareWare version changed from 10 to 15
minutes.
0.03a -- 11 Dec 95
Fixed a major bug that caused VJ-Compression to go wrong in most cases! Fixed
another very serious bug that could cause random memory corruption in the
RMA! The MTU specified in the command line when the module is loaded is now
effectively used. Implemented BSD-Compression. Some code optimization and
reorganisation, PPPdriver now uses less CPU time. Statistics printed by
'pppstats' improved. Debugging informations printed in !FreeUser.DebugFile
are now more useful (or less useless...). Internal reorganisation to make the
size of the module smaller.
1.00 -- 28 Jan 96
Added possibility to display even more statistics specifying the "all" flag
to "pppstats". Fixed a reentrancy problem in the packet send/receive code.
The netmask is now correctly configured. Fixed command line handling: removed
possible source of bugs and added GSTranslation of every parameter. PPPdriver
now starts as a desktop application so that it can execute commands (eg the
ip-up and ip-down scripts) as WIMP tasks. Added proper documentation!
2.00 -- 28 Jan 96
DCI4 version, based on the DCI2 version (1.00).
2.10 -- 11 Oct 96
PPPdriver can now be forced to connect only to a limited range of IP
addresses, so it is possible to bind a registered version to a single
Internet Provider. The new 'ip-up' file now sets the Inet$LocalIP and
Inet$RemoteIP variables (needed by some Internet software). Some bugfixes
and internal improvements. PPPdriver now uses less CPU time and is more
efficient when it deals with fast serial interfaces. StrongARM compatible.
Both Internet 4.07 and 5.02 (included in the RISC OS 3.70 ROMs) supported.
2.20 -- 15 Dec 96
FreeNet 2.00 and 2.01 are now properly supported. The 'persist' option should
work. A socket is no longer left open when PPPdriver is RMKilled. The desktop
task now runs as a proper module task rather than as an application task as it
used to; this saves 32Kb and is more 'clean'. PPPdriver seems to be much more
stable than previous versions, in particular 'pppstats' no longer prints
rubbish and PPPdriver can be RMKilled safely... hopefully! If you still
suffer from any of these bugs please contact me.
2.21 -- 22 Dec 96
Fixed bug that caused problems on RISC OS 3.70 when trying some type of
connections over a PPP link, notably FTP! Many thanks to Tom Hughes for this
fix!
