Tue May 13 02:00:27 EDT 2003 - Maximus/UNIX 3.02
Initial Release, so Tony Summerfelt can play with squish.
Current Status: Squish "works for me"
Sat May 24 00:50:45 EDT 2003 - Maximus/UNIX 3.03a
Initial Public Release. Bumped version number 3.03 to avoid confusion.
Current Status: Everything but Maximus "works for me"
Major Problem Areas:
- No Installer
- Local console output is buggy (always one keystroke behind)
- fdcomm.so comm driver is buggy and does not speak telnet
- fdcomm.so comm driver only allows one concurrent session
- MexVM crashes regularly on 64-bit arch. Don't know about
32-bit.
Problems Fixed:
- Too many to mention.
Added Features:
- max -p2000 makes Maximus listen on TCP port 2000
- Added more options to master makefile; now tries to
compiler Maximus control files during make install
- Added a simple ./configure script, to try and reduce
confusion among users.
Fri Jun 6 20:22:09 EDT 2003 - Maximus/UNIX 3.03b [pre-release]
- Incorporated 3.03a-patch1, which added 7-bit NVT (telnet capability)
to the listening socket, and allowed multiple users at once. This
capability requires a dynamic node number; max -n0.
- Incorporated FreeBSD & Linux build advice/fixes from Andrew Clarke
and Bo Simonsen.
- Incorporated changes to msgapi from Bo Simonsen; some code in the
changes originates from The Husky Project. Changes should allow
Squish bases to be binary-compatible with other software's Squish
bases. Bo also removed an empty echomail kludge line in Maximus,
and added a local Seen-By.
- Modified comdll API to COMMAPI_VER=2. This allows Maximus to make
intelligent use of the Nagle algorithm, turning it on and off as
appropriate. COMMAPI_VER=2 also allows us to not send modem commands
at communication handles which aren't attached to modems.
- Added BINARY-TRANSFER NVT option which should negotiate 8-bit clear
NVT sessions with clients that support the option. This should allow
users the ability to use download protocols. Feedback requested.
- Major work to configuration engine; should do a better job setting
parameters and informing users of problems.
- Support for GNU Make 3.76 deprecated; 3.79+ is recommended.
- Added -fpermissive to g++ CXXFLAGS to quell warnings about non-
comforming C++ code.
- Now builds under Solaris 8/SPARC; however, disk-based data structs
are still backwards (wrong endian). This means that it may not work,
and if it does it won't toss FTSC packets, nor will it interoperate
with other Maximus/Squish products. Solaris-x86 may work fine, but
it has not however been tested.
- Many other changes -- see CVS for complete details.
Wed Jun 11 11:01:10 EDT 2003, Maximus/UNIX 3.03b [pre-release]
- More changes to allow support for Sparc and other BIG_ENDIAN
platforms. Data files are still not binary compatible with other
systems, BEWARE. The Sparc port is at where it is right now in
order to help me debug the code body; My sun is fast and has a
pleasant development environment, where as my old RedHat
5.2, Alpha UDB box is NOT fast and does NOT have the
development environment I enjoy.
- Massive work done on configure script and Makefile rules, to allow
a cleaner "from-scratch" build. Now we detect platform endianness
rather than trying to read it from C header files (this was causing
problems for Vince Koen and Andrew Clarke). Make configure_install
should now be smart enough to rebuild all maximus control files
into a useable state, but (theoretically) not overwrite anything
you need.
- Changed struct _stamp to union _stampu and (hopefully) adjusted
code appropriately. This should allow proper sizing, comparison,
and endianness of the dos date/time stamps, union stamp_combo,
etc. under non-x86 hardware.
- Fixed lack-of-responsiveness in keyboard/video driver in max -c
and max -k modes, but introduced a bug where the cursor is often
positioned one linefeed lower than it ought to be.
- Integrated patches from Andrew Clarke to allow building under
FreeBSD.
- Many other changes; see CVS for details.
Wed Jun 11 23:58:30 EDT 2003, Maximus/UNIX 3.03b [tagged release]
- Changes to build under GNU CC 3.2. Biggest problem stems from the
requirement for a new shared library when executing C++ code as
of GCC 3.0. This means that programs with C++ components must
either link the library with 'gcc', or be linked with g++.
Unfortunately, GNU Make (3.79.1) doesn't know (and can't know?)
anything about this, so the default (implicit) rules get broken.
- Changes to try and detect whether to declare timer_t.
- Changes to the configuration scripts for (yet again) cleaner
building. Extensive from-scratch with my buddy's uber-fast
box. I think it's RedHat 8.0.
- Bugs fixed with respect to non-/var/max install PREFIX
- Many other changes; see CVS for details.
Sun Aug 17 01:47:00 CET 2003, Squish, Sqafix and Msgapi
- After serveral fixes in the UNIX version of Squish, is Squish pretty
stable under Linux. The fixes includes correction of MSGID Dupe
checking, file case fixes. The version number is now 1.12.002 BETA
- Sqafix is finally ported, but it's in a very early version on the
UNIX platform. Some of the routines needs to be rewritten.
- Msgapi is considered stable after making UNIX specific changes
