- * This Release
-
- This is a bug fix release, which contains also some improvements
- over 2.0 and 2.1.
-
-
- New Features on 2.2:
-
- * AmiTCP:
- - The Sana-II device is automatically marked `up' when it is put
- `online' (no need to issue `ifconfig ... up' anymore).
- - Interactive IP packets are given higher priority IO requests.
- - Added routing table dump.
- - Added arp table dump
-
- * rhslip.device, rhcslip.device:
- - outgoing packets are queued in priority order
-
- * inet-handler: (was on 2.1 too)
- - new file handler to allow ordinary dos commands to move data
- across the net.
-
- * EmacsTCP:
- - added forms.el(c) and background.el(c), which the gopher.el
- needs, to the distribution.
-
- * NapsaTerm:
- - Added a resource "pubScreenName" used to select public screen.
-
- * netstat:
- - Added routing table dump (netstat ROUTES).
-
- Fixed Bugs on 2.2:
-
- * AmiTCP:
- - Fixed off by one errors in log date and month names.
- - Fixed a bug inherited from the BSDSS4 code. Selecting processes
- were never woken up if they did not have the asynchronous mode
- set.
-
- * NapsaTerm:
- - Fixed a nasty bug causing gurus when a window couldn't be opened.
-
- * NcFtp:
- - Carsten Heyl fixed some bugs reported by the users, no know bugs
- should remain.
-
- New Features on 2.1:
-
- * AmiTCP:
- - A timestamp is added to the log messages.
- - Faster checksum calculation implemented in assembler.
- * netlib:
- - User and group database handling routines are added to the
- net.lib. Release includes example databases for `ls' and
- `finger' utilities, which use these databases. See file
- doc/netlib.doc for more information of user and group
- databases.
- - A real gettimeofday() using locale is also added.
- * finger:
- - New application, prints information about local and remote
- users.
- * fingerd:
- - Calls now finger when asked for local users. (This feature
- requires Apipe-handler by Per Bojsen, Apipe-handler can be
- found e.g. on Fish disk 783.)
- * ls:
- - New application, an imitation of Unix directory lister.
- Supports multiuser filesystems. Included as an example of
- user and group database usage.
- * Napsaterm:
- - Default window title is now the name of the remote host.
- - A public screen can be used with -S switch (thanks trossi!).
- * SynClock:
- - A simple script which synchronize clock in Amiga with
- specified host in network.
-
- Fixed Bugs on 2.1:
-
- * AmiTCP
- API:
- - WaitSelect() could return random bits in the fd_sets
- - Hostname returned by gethostbyaddr() is now '\0' terminated,
- alias and address lists NULL terminated.
- - SetDTableSize() copied too large table, if descriptor size
- was reduced.
- kern/kern_synch.c:
- - Remove() in the timer message handling, the message is
- handled now with WaitIO().
- net/if.c:
- - Bug with SIOCGIFCONF ioctl's (it returned the
- interface name in the old style format).
- * Napsaterm:
- rcmd.c:
- - A bug with OOB data handling, which hanged Napsaterm sometimes.
- * (c)slip.device:
- env/sana2/slip0.config & env/sana2/cslip0.config:
- - Removed the `CD' switch from these example configuration files.
