New in version 29kgw6 of AmigaNOS:
1) slip routines optimised for speed
2) nntp optimised for speed (including asynchronous I/O), hash tables
3) NNTP BATCH command added - format:
NNTP BATCH <n>
where <n> is the number of outstanding requests allowable.
This allows news to be requested whilst still receiving previous
news item[s] - improves speed significantly for those servers that support
it. Default is NNTP BATCH 1 - ie no batching. NNTP BATCH 12 is a good
value to try.
4) Serial device handling improved
5) Summertime (daylight saving time) bug in the Time client solved
(I hope).
New in version 29kgw5 of AmigaNOS:
1) Time client added (ported from PC version)
New commands:
TIME SERVER <address> sets the time server to be used
TIME MINCORRECT <seconds> minimum amount to alter clock
TIME MAXCORRECT <seconds> maximum amount to alter clock
TIME SET set machine clock from time server
2) Stack size for Digger increased (attempt to prevent crashes)
3) ABORT command added for dial scripts. Format:
ABORT <"string1"> [<"string2">...]
Aborts dial attempt if any of string1, string2... are received.
4) Stack size for Chatnode increased (attempt to prevent crashes)
5) ARexx port (named AMIGANOS) added. Allows issuing of any AmigaNOS
command via the ARexx port. NB EXIT will currently return 20, even
though it does succeed.
6) Command interpreter changed to be case blind
7) Various features added to support external clients. New command CLIENT
added:
CLIENT <clientname>
starts off an external client called clientname located in slip:Clients
8) AutoExit changed:
New parameters of SUSPEND and RESUME. If more SUSPENDs have been issued
than RESUMEs, AutoExit will not actually exit. Intended for use with
processes which need to disable AutoExits for a while, but want to
restore the situation they inherited (eg external clients).
9) AutoExit Start now exits straightaway if there are no active TCP
connections.
10) ASYSTAT now displays NO CARRIER, ACTIVE, DIALLED status indicator
against serial device. Status information now held more sensibly,
by device.
11) New command AMIGA GUIDE <ON|OFF>. Alters help to use
AmigaGuide. You must have AmigaGuide on your system, and you must
have a file called AmigaNOS.guide accessible to AmigaGuide. It'll help
if this file has information on AmigaNOS in it as well :-)
12) AMIGA REXX command now starts a new process to execute the Rexx macro.
13) New parameter added to FTP command. The format is now:
FTP <host> [<port> [<file>]]
If <file> is present, then ftp commands will be executed from <file>
rather then from the console. The ftp session will terminate automatically
when it hits end-of-file. Useful (especially in conjunction with the ARexx
port) for unattended ftp sessions. If you want to specify <file> but
not <port> then use * as the port (eg ftp ftp.demon.co.uk * ftpfile).
