Changes in version 1.06:
|
||
|
||
As usual, many bugs were fixed.
|
||
|
||
Support was added for the 'y' protocol, contributed by Jorge Cwik,
|
||
the designer of the protocol.
|
||
|
||
The name of command files was changed when using SPOOLDIR_TAYLOR;
|
||
they now use a much longer sequence number. This affects the
|
||
jobid strings reported by uustat. The change makes uux and uucp
|
||
more efficient.
|
||
|
||
Added ``called-timegrade'' command to sys file.
|
||
|
||
Added --nostop and -E/--escape options to cu.
|
||
|
||
Added -s option to uuchk.
|
||
|
||
Added ``strip-login'' and ``strip-proto'' commands to config file.
|
||
|
||
uux will now create a poll file if invoked as ``uux SYSTEM!''.
|
||
|
||
If an execution fails, the data file is saved, if there is enough
|
||
free disk space.
|
||
|
||
uux now uses POSIX file locking, if available, when locking the
|
||
sequence file.
|
||
|
||
The man pages were incorporated into the Texinfo manual.
|
||
|
||
The UUCP Internals FAQ was incorporated into the Texinfo manual.
|
||
|
||
The spool directory layout is now documented in the Texinfo
|
||
manual.
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.05:
|
||
|
||
As usual, many bugs were fixed.
|
||
|
||
Support was added for the UUPC/extended 'v' protocol.
|
||
|
||
Initial hardware flow control support was added, contributed by
|
||
Peter Wemm.
|
||
|
||
A new port type, ``pipe'', was added; this sends data to a program
|
||
such as rlogin, and was contributed by Marc Boucher.
|
||
|
||
The programs all now accept long option names with a leading --.
|
||
They all support --help and --version.
|
||
|
||
uuxqt now saves execution files it can not parse in
|
||
$(SPOOLDIR)/.Corrupt.
|
||
|
||
If a received file can not be moved to the final location, and
|
||
there is enough disk space, it is kept in the spool directory.
|
||
|
||
A run-uuxqt command was added to config, to permit specifying when
|
||
uuxqt should be run.
|
||
|
||
The 'i' protocol has a new ack-frequency protocol parameter. The
|
||
remote-window protocol parameter was removed, as it did not work
|
||
correctly.
|
||
|
||
Chat scripts now permit /W in an expect string to set the timeout.
|
||
|
||
TCP ports now support the ``dialer-sequence'' command.
|
||
|
||
Direct ports now support the ``carrier'' command.
|
||
|
||
Some support was added to read UUCP passwords from /etc/passwd,
|
||
and to use encrypted passwords.
|
||
|
||
uucico now accepts a -C argument to only call a system named by -S
|
||
or -s if there is work for it.
|
||
|
||
uucico accepts a -i TLI argument to use TLI I/O calls on standard
|
||
input.
|
||
|
||
uucico accepts a -u argument to set the user name.
|
||
|
||
uucico accepts a -z argument to try the next alternate if a call
|
||
fails.
|
||
|
||
uustat accepts a -R argument to rejuvenate each listed job.
|
||
|
||
Mailer configuration was moved from configure checking to
|
||
policy.h.
|
||
|
||
Support was added for QNX, contributed by Joe Wells.
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.04:
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANT: the default when talking to another version of 1.04 is to
|
||
use the new bidirectional 'i' protocol. If you are using a
|
||
half-duplex modem, such as a Telebit T2500, you will want to either
|
||
mark the port as half-duplex with the ``half-duplex'' command, or
|
||
force use of the 'g' protocol by using the ``protocol'' command in the
|
||
sys or port file or by adding ``,g'' after the port name in the
|
||
Systems or L.sys or Devices file.
|
||
|
||
As usual, many bugs were fixed.
|
||
|
||
Bidirectional transfers are supported with the new 'i' protocol;
|
||
it requires an eight-bit clear datapath.
|
||
|
||
New programs: uusched, cu, uuto and uupick.
|
||
|
||
The 'G' protocol and a new Zmodem protocol were added.
|
||
|
||
A number of uustat options were added to support uuclean, and a
|
||
sample uuclean shell script was added to the contrib directory.
|
||
The uustat output formats were changed slightly.
|
||
|
||
A protocol extension eliminates transfer of the command file for
|
||
simple commands, such as rmail or rnews, when talking to another
|
||
version of 1.04.
|
||
|
||
Some TLI support was added.
|
||
|
||
UUCP forwarding was added, along with the ``forward-to'',
|
||
``forward-from'' and ``forward'' commands.
|
||
|
||
If a file transfer fails in the middle, the retry will now start
|
||
from where it left off. The implementation is compatible with
|
||
SVR4.
|
||
|
||
The work queue is checked every 10 minutes during a conversation;
|
||
if there is new work and a bidirectional protocol is not in use,
|
||
the receiving uucico requests the sender to transfer control.
|
||
|
||
The amount of free disk space is checked periodically as a file is
|
||
received, and if it drops too low the call is aborted.
|
||
|
||
The UUCP configuration file reading routines were moved into a
|
||
standalone library, uuconf. All known bugs in V2 and HDB
|
||
configuration file reading were fixed.
|
||
|
||
The ``half-duplex'' command was added for the port and dialer
|
||
files.
|
||
|
||
The ``max-retries'', ``success-wait'', ``send-request'' and
|
||
``receive-request'' commands were added for the sys file. The
|
||
``call-request'' and ``called-request'' commands were eliminated
|
||
(they did not work correctly anyhow).
|
||
|
||
\d in chat scripts now calls sleep (2) rather than sleep (1), so
|
||
it will sleep longer (on some systems sleep(1) may delay much less
|
||
than one second).
|
||
|
||
SPOOLDIR_SVR4 was added for SVR4 style spool directories.
|
||
|
||
Defaults are now permitted in the port and dialer files.
|
||
|
||
The ALIAS field is supported in the HDB Permissions file.
