- **** NOTE: AmigaUW REQUIRES AmigaOS version 2.0 (v37 or better) ****
-
- - Whats new in this release (release 4)?
-
- In general, wider compatibility with UNIX systems. Configuration
- defines for MIPS ultrix, hp/ux, solaris2 (sunos5), sunos4, OS/F,
- Nextstep (3.0), Irix. SYSV (SVR4) compatibility much improved. It
- should actually work now. :-)
-
- Added little startup message to amuw (UNIX side).
-
- Added some more troubleshooting notes and altered the documentation a
- bit.
-
- Fixed long standing bug in XON/XOFF handling. X/Y/Zmodems should work
- properly on more systems now. (SOme zmodem's didn't handle the
- swapped XON/XOFF, some did).
-
- bps rate timing is vastly improved. Look in amuw.guide for timing
- values that should work on ALL systems.
-
- - What was new in release 3
-
- The UNIX src has been made more portable and much easier to configure, see
- the README_FIRST and makefile within the amuw.tar file for more details.
-
- TTY ownership problem which caused programs such as tcsh to behave wierdly
- somewhat addressed. A fix has been applied which should work with most
- people, but is probably not a cure-all.
-
- Option added (-t) that will cause uwserverd to automatically quit when
- the last uw.device is closed in *normal* mode (not multisession mode).
-
- Serial.device noncompliance bug fixed in uw.device. It now returns the
- actual amount of data written on a CMD_WRITE.
-
- AmigaUW now supports automatic TTY resize. Currently, only HFT (included)
- supports the custom IORequest amuw uses, but it is documented for other
- comm program writers to use as well.
-
- - What was new in release 2.
-
- Uwserverd now allows you to specify the serial bps rate directly as a
- command line option (for bps rates you can't get in preferences). XON/XOFF
- is now automatically disabled.
-
- Uwserverd now always uses the -s option (ie. It sticks around till you kill
- it off). The -s option has been removed (not needed anymore).
-
- Uw.device will now allow you to use unit numbers other than 0 to open up
- sessions (useful for getting around owndevunit.library).
