- - Bounced version numbers for release.
-
- - Minor changes in Installer script.
-
-
- 2.96
- ----
-
- - Added ARexx command QUITFORCE to avoid the "ARexx scripts are still
- running" problem.
-
- - Earlier versions crashed violently if no GUI module could be
- initialized - fixed.
-
- - MUI.MiamiGui, MUIMWB.MiamiGui: fixed a dangling-busy-pointer bug
- when the dialer finished in iconified state.
-
- - GTLayout.MiamiGui: Killing the GUI while other windows besides the
- main window (e.g. dialer) were open caused a crash - fixed.
-
- - Really added new version of miamisocks.library this time.
-
- - Added new icon in NewIcons style.
-

- ASCII/AmigGuide icons correctly.
-
-
- 2.95
- ----
-
- *** This is the first complete Miami package after 2.1p (not just an
- *** incremental upgrade), and should be considered a "trial run" for
- *** the 3.0 release. Please test the installation script, and have
- *** a look at the new manual.
-
- - The internal process "Miami Downtown" is no longer displayed in the
- list of processes that keep Miami open.
-
- - Hopefully fixed some problems with a busy pointer not being
- removed.
-
- - Miami, MiamiInit, MiamiRegister: Default values for "ENV:MIAMI/GUI"
- did not work correctly.
-
- - miamisocks.library: Fixed an Enforcer in the DCC hack.
-
-
- 2.94f
- -----
-
- - Some changes to HDLC input state machines to make FCS error counts
- more accurate.
-
- - Added workaround for NSD re-open bug in hydra.device.
-
- - Another workaround for hydra.device: write requests are now only sent
- to the device one at a time. This appears to improve throughput, at
- least on the author's machine...
-
- - GTLayout.MiamiGui: IP address types for SANA-II interfaces were
- displayed incorrectly.
-
- - miamisocks.library: minor changes
-
- - Miami, #?.MiamiGui, MiamiInit: Locale changes
-
- - #?.MiamiGui: The state of menu item checkmarks did not survive GUI
- switches and some other events.
-
- - Miami, MiamiInit, MiamiRegister: added support for ENV:Miami/GUI
- to define the default GUI.
-
-
- 2.94e
- -----
-
- - Fixed some problems with iconify/deiconify during dialing.
-
- - Interrupting the dialer early would not always hang up the line.

-
- - MiamiInit, MiamiRegister: Added ToolType "GUI" and support for
- different GUI engines.
-
- - MiamiRegister: Rearranged some texts for compatibility with
- GTLayout engine.
-
- - GTLayout.MiamiGui: MTU for serial interfaces was not set
- correctly.
-
- - GTLayout.MiamiGui: Status messages did not contain modem speed
- and did not survive "Kill GUI".
-
- - GTLayout.MiamiGui: Pressing a function key in the dialer when
- dial buttons were disabled caused an Enforcer hit.
-
- - GTLayout.MiamiToolsGui: added to the distribution.
-
-
- 2.94d
- -----
-
- - Workaround in NSD check code to prevent Enforcer hits from
- Semaphores with trashed name field.
-
- - Minor changes in device access code hoping to track down an
- incompatibility.
-

- enabled. Should be fixed now.
-
- - MiamiInit: another attempt to get the init string for ISDN
- boards and TAs right...
-
- - MiamiInit: &C1 is now always added to the init string.
-
- - MiamiInit: Added ToolType PACKETDEBUG.
-
- - GTLayout.MiamiGui: Changed layout for compatibility with newer
- V43 versions of gtlayout.library.
-
- - GTLayout.MiamiGui: Removed a trailing menu bar label in the
- settings menu.
-
-
- 2.94c
- -----
-
- - Corrected dial suffix when importing MiamiInit V3 settings.
-
- - Hostnames were not imported correctly from MiamiInit V3.
-
- - Slight change in iconify/kill-gui code for compatibility with GUIs
- that do not support iconify (e.g. GTLayout).
-
- - Fixed an Enforcer hit that occured when taking PPP/SLIP offline.
-
- - Added ToolType "GUI" to specify the GUI engine at startup
- (overriding the preferences).
-
- - MiamiInit: Corrected rts/cts part of init string for Tornado/Trust
- modems.
-
- - MiamiInit: Added some modems and Ethernet boards to the list.
-
- - MiamiInit: An initialization problem with ISDN boards (diag code
- 100) should be fixed now.
-
- - MUI.MiamiGui: Minor change to MS-CHAP check.
-
- - GTLayout.MiamiGui: added to the distribution. Requires
- gtlayout.library V40 or higher (from Olaf Barthel's "term"
- distribution).
-
-
- 2.94b
- -----
-
- - MiamiInit: Devices which only support a single unit were opened
- with unit -1 instead of 0 -- fixed.
-
-
- 2.94a
- -----
-
- - Added sysctl option "dns.cache.split" to separate DNS caches for
- gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr(). With this option enabled
- gethostbyaddr() only uses DNS PTR queries, not information from
- earlier DNS A queries.
-
- - Changed default Commodities input expression for compatibility
- with old versions of AmigaOS.
-
- - Reenabled NSD-based device verification if NSDPatch is installed.
-
- - Fixed an Enforcer hit in UDP-chargen service.
-
- - Major code reorganizations. Now one single, consistent set of
- C header files and global symbol tables is finally used for all
- sources and utilities, in sync with MiamiSDK 2.21.
-
- - Enabled full compiler optimizations.
-
- - Miami should now react more quickly to "Cancel" while talking
- to the modem.
-
- - GUI initialization is now done later during startup, so the
- GUI choice can be loaded from the settings file.
-
- - MUI.MiamiGui: Made main listview default object.
-
- - MUI.MiamiGui: Reactivated options on the "Windows" page.
-
- - MiamiInit: added to distribution. This is a completely new,
- program, and incorporates the functionality of the old
- "MiamiInit" and "MiamiInitSANA2" into a single program, plus
- many new features. Changes include:
-
- - Added support for external user interface engines (MUI,
- and upcoming: GTLayout, ClassAct).
- - Updated modem list to include ISDN TAs and 56k modems.
- - Added support for ISDN (TAs and boards), with built-in
- lists of modes and init strings.
- - Added board lists for Ethernet/Arcnet/etc.
- - Added support for cable modems and ADSL modems.
- - Added support for parallel port connections and nullmodem
- connections.
- - Improved support for accessing LANs.
- - Much more flexible handling of DNS: DNS can be disabled
- completely or set to "LAN mode" (not allowing access to
- root servers). DNS verification can be skipped, and results
- from verification can be ignored.
- - MiamiInit now knows about screenmode restrictions, speed
- restrictions and driver restrictions on the built-in
- serial port, checks for them, and tells the user about
- expected problems, if necessary.
- - Added Miami's built-in serial port driver for registered
- users.
- - Added workarounds for problems that some modems have with
- the CD and RTS/CTS lines and default settings for them.
- (This affects Zoom and Multitech modems, for instance.)
- - Improved DNS detection/configuration in SANA-II mode.
- - Added "Skip" option to allow the user to bypass some checks
- in the configuration phase (e.g. "RArp" if no RArp server
- is present).
- - Added support for DHCP.
- - Added hostname check.
- - Now defaults "Use login dialog" to off, because of the
- growing number of "smart PPP servers".
- - Customized dialer layout for nullmodem and dialing without
- login dialog.
- - Resynchronized all protocols (PPP, SLIP, DHCP, DNS etc.)
- with their implementations in Miami 2.94a.
-
-
- 2.93c
- -----
-
- internal version, not publically released
-
-
- 2.93b
- -----
-
- - 2.93a was missing the new version of MUI.MiamiGUI, which is
- why all texts were wrong. This archive corrects this error.
-
-
- 2.93a
- -----
-
- - Added several PPC support functions to miami.library and
- miamipcap.library to simplify access to Miami from PPC-native
- clients, and bumped version number to 12.
-
- - Changed several structures used in miami.library and
- bsdsocket.library for natural alignment in a PPC kernel, and
- added new access functions for those structures. Old access
- functions are still binary-compatible with AmiTCP/IP and old
- software, but will not work with PPC versions.
-
- - Added workaround for AbortIO() bug in a4066.device.
-
- - Bug fix: ping packets arriving during interface negotiation
- should no longer cause spurious errors.
-
- - MiamiNetStat: increased with of "destination" column in "-r"
- output by 2 characters.
-
- - MiamiMRouteD, MiamiNetStat, MiamiArp, MiamiRoute: new versions
- with new structure alignment.
-
-
- 2.92h
- -----
-
- - MiamiRegister: fixed a problem with non-blocking connect()s
- through SOCKS.
-
- - Several workarounds for possible problems with AbortIO(),
- caused by bugs in bscisdn.device and HyperCOM drivers.
-
- - Fixed a bug that could cause lockups with the built-in serial
- driver if Miami was taken offline while traffic was sent across
- the serial line.
-
-
- 2.92g
- -----
-
- - Configured hotkey values are now active immediately after
- loading settings.
-
- - Changed the delimiter for service ranges in the IP filter from
- "-" to "/" to avoid a conflict with service names containing a
- "-" character.
-
- - Bounced miami.library to v11 and added many advanced API functions
- from Posix.1g and RFC-2133.
-
- - Host name checks are now case-insensitive.
-
- - The accept() in inetd is now non-blocking to avoid a race
- condition when the client quits prematurely.
-
- - Fixed a problem with multiple requesters appearing simultaneously.
-
- - A few changes to the DHCP timing.
-
-
- 2.92f
- -----
-
- * This release uses new TCP kernel code and is rather experimental.
- Please test TCP connections in all variations: locally, to and
- from remote machines, with T/TCP enabled and disabled, and with
- T/TCP-compliant and -non-compliant clients and servers, and report
- any unusual effects (lockups, crashes, panics etc.).
-
- - Several additional performance optimizations.
-
- - Fixed an Enforcer hit when going online with Ethernet (caused by
- a bug in the TCP pipe adjustment introduced in 2.92e).
-
- - Resynchronized TCP implementation with FreeBSD 2.2.5.
-
- - Allowed "," in Database->Socks->Command
-
-
- 2.92e
- -----
-
- - Modem init strings are now only sent without flow control if
- sending them with flow control fails.
-
- - Built-in serial driver now uses SetIntVector() instead of patching
- interrupt vectors directly, to avoid crashes under heavy DMA use.
- This change may be temporary.
-
- - Some modifications to reverse-DNS host name lookup.
-
- - Increased priority of interface task from 5 to 10, and priority
- of kernel task from 4 to 8 to prevent DOS handlers from
- preempting Miami, which would cause SANA-II packet loss during
- bulk transfers.
-
- - Some minor changes to improve the performance of bulk data transfers.
-
- - Modified the old "TCP-ACK-Hack" to be compatible with T/TCP, and
- reenabled it, to automatically ack every packet with the PUSH bit
- set during bulk data transfers, regardless of TCP window settings.
- This improves performance when receiving TCP bulk data.
-
- - Built-in serial device options integrated into the GUI. Using
- the string "builtin" is no longer necessary (or possible).
-
- - Increased the TCP pipe sizes for local Ethernet routes from
- 16 kB to 32 kB.
-
- - Added MiamiSysCtl to beta archive.
-
-
- 2.92d
- -----
-
- - The WAITCONNECT bug supposedly fixed in 2.92c should now
- really be fixed :-/
-
- - Added ARexx command "GETCONNECTTIME" to return the number of
- seconds since the modem returned the CONNECT message.
-
- - Miami should now react more quickly to the "Cancel" gadget
- when resetting the modem.
-
- - serial devices are now opened without flow control when resetting
- the modem. This should help with misconfigured Multitech modems
- and probably some others.
-
- - The file name for PPP logging is now saved in the settings file.
-
- - Enabled built-in serial device handler. This feature is HIGHLY
- EXPERIMENTAL and probably buggy, i.e. expect it to crash, burn
- and destroy your Amiga and your modem :-). To choose this
- driver type "builtin" as the device name (without ".device").
-
- - The status message is now maintained and changed even when the
- GUI is killed, and preserved across GUI changes.
-
- - Rewrote large portions of the iconify code. Many of the old
- bugs (iconify/deiconify messing things up during dialing)
- should be fixed.
-
- - Killing the GUI or reopening a killed GUI during dialing or
- when requesters are open should work much better now. This
- feature is still highly experimental though.
-
- - The hangup and LCP-TermReq code should now be more tolerant
- to flow control problems.
-
- - Changed the label "On Startup" to the more meaningful
- "Kill GUI on Startup". The old text dates back to a very early
- alpha version of Miami V3 when the whole page was called "Iconify"
- instead of "GUI".
-
- - "Save as Default" now always saves settings in "Miami:".
-
- - Added protection from the Internet attack program "land.c"
- (which forges IP addresses and port numbers to exploit a
- vulnerability in almost all existing TCP implementations).
-
- - MiamiSocks: Fixed a bug in the DCC workaround.
-
- - MiamiSocks: Added a workaround for a compatibility problem with
- Voyager 2.92.
-
- - MiamiRegister: Upgrades from ppp.device via First Virtual were
- not processed correctly.
-
- - MiamiTCPDump: Added option "-A" ("-xA" creates ASCII output
- in addition to hex).
-
-
- 2.92c
- -----
-
- - Miami no longer hangs when an ARexx quit script is configured and
- RexxMast is not running.
-
- - Fixed a bug in the WAITCONNECT dialer command that could
- cause strings other than "CONNECT" to trigger a match.
-
- - MiamiRegister: Added a retry option to another requester.
-
- - MiamiRegister: Changed the messages in two misleading requesters.
-
- - Added some functions to miami.library and miamipcap.library to
- support MiamiRemind.
-
- - Added GUI iconify option to "active offline" event.
-
- - When importing a config from MiamiInit the option "down when
- offline" now defaults to "on" for dynamic IP addresses, to
- prevent problems with YAM hanging during a connect().
-
- - Changes on the Socks page now affect *new* clients immediately.
-
- - Added MUI bubble help for the GUI page.
-
- - Status messages are no longer cleared when switching between
- GUI pages or killing the GUI.
-
- - Fixed signal handling in miamibpf.library and miamipcap.library
- for custom abort signals.
-
- - Added MiamiRemind to distribution. See MiamiRemind.doc for more
- information.
-
-
- 2.92b
- -----
-
- - minor changes in MiamiRegister and miamisocks.library
-
- - Miami now moves its screen/window to front and activates it
- during double-start and Cx-Show even if Miami is deiconified.
-
- - MUI.MiamiGui now closes the public screen during iconify if no
- other windows are open.
-
- - GUI->"Show icon" and GUI->"Show menu" are now enabled by default.
-
- - MiamiRegister: increased TCP timeouts to avoid premature
- disconnects.
-
-
- 2.92a
- -----
-
- - required "Miami:" assign, and replaced all occurences of
- "PROGDIR:" with "Miami:".
-
- - disabled "verify DNS" for broadcast networks.
-
- - bounced catalog version to 10.
-
- - modified the broken-NT workaround for LCP option 0 for better
- compatibility with yet another broken PPP server (ITK Suprimo).
-
- - changed library priorites to 1.
-
- - added proper error message if the "Miami:" assign does not exist.
-
- - registered version now requires keyfile version 3.
-
-
- 2.91c
- -----
-
- MiamiRegister release only:
-
- - corrected a misleading error message if 'QuickUpgrade' failed
- between the first and the second step.
-
- - added a note regarding version 3 keyfiles and Miami 2.x.
-
-
- 2.91b
- -----
-
- MiamiRegister release only. Completely rewritten since 2.1p.
-
-
- 2.91a
- -----
-
- first new beta release. Lots of changes since 2.1p. Many parts
- completely rewritten.
