LibNcFTP Change Log:
===================
3.1.5, 2002-10-13
+ Compatibility fixes for AIX, Linux, Mac OS X, IRIX 6.2 and SunOS 4.
+ Be less pedantic about incorrectly formatted multi-line responses.
+ For ASCII transfers, try harder to handle non-native end-of-line formats.
+ New timeval fields lastCmdStart and lastCmdFinish which are updated by
the library automatically. The purpose of these is to let you check
them to see if you want to send a NOOP to keep the connection alive.
3.1.4, 2002-07-02
+ Changed declaration of FTPConfirmResumeDownloadProc and
FTPConfirmResumeUploadProc so first parameter is a FTPCIPtr.
Unfortunately this will require existing code be slightly revised.
+ Another internal function, Error(), has been renamed to FTPLogError()
to avoid another namespace collision.
+ New configure flag, --disable-ccdv.
+ Makefile has "distclean" target.
+ Compatibility fixes for C++ and Linux.
+ Fixed a socket leak and a crash on Win32.
+ A few minor fixes for firewall logins.
+ By default, proxy connections for PORT are no longer allowed. This is
mostly an extra security precaution, to eliminate cases where someone
could hijack a data connection by connecting to us after we issue PORT
but before the server could connect to us.
+ Bug fixed in configure script for enabling Socks.
+ A few new firewalls (permutations of type 1). (Thanks, Felix Buenemann)
+ Try harder to avoid unnecessary SIZE/MDTM/MLST/REST commands.
+ A new "hasHELP_SITE" structure field is available in case you need
to avoid doing a "HELP SITE". Some server software (i.e. IBM Mainframes)
crashes when you do this.
3.1.3, 2002-03-27
+ Enhancements to Monkey.
+ Bug fixed on Solaris where a socket could be left in non-blocking mode.
+ Ls parsing is now more forgiving of weird /bin/ls implementations (AIX).
+ Be more lenient on broken server implementations which include extra
blank lines in the control connection conversation.
+ Compatibility fixes for IRIX 5.x and AIX 4.2.x.
+ Compatibility fixes for Cygwin
(Thanks, Charles Wilson <cwilson AT ece.gatech.edu>).
+ Some extra debugging information is now logged to the trace logs.
+ Fix namespace collisions with Mac OS headers. Use "FTPLine" and
"FTPFileInfo", in place of "Line" and "FileInfo".
3.1.2, 2002-01-30:
+ A fix for the local hostname detection code which could result with only
the first character of the domain appended, rather than the entire domain
(Thanks, Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk AT mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>).
+ Another bug fixed in local hostname detection where looking up the host
by IP address was not done correctly.
+ Fixed a few portability problems on HP-UX 10.20 which were introduced
in 3.1.0.
+ Fixed bug with readdir_r usage on Solaris, which could cause crashes
when doing recursive uploads, among other things.
+ On Linux, use gethostbyname2_r() to specify that we only want IPv4
addresses returned.
+ Reversing behavior from 3.1.0 where we did a shutdown() on the half
of the socket that wasn't used. We suspect this was causing some
firewalls and routers to panic and assume the whole connection was
to be closed.
+ Bug fixed where an unresolvable hostname caused a pointless connection
attempt which would fail.
+ Bug fixed in FTPChdir3 with one-at-a-time mode.
+ Obscure bug fixed in recursive local globbing.
+ Fixes for ncftpsyncput sample program.
3.1.1, 2001-12-23:
+ Fixed bugs with our use of gethostbyname_r/addr_r on Linux.
+ Fixed bugs with our implementation of stat64() on Windows, which caused
problems when querying information about local directories.
3.1.0, 2001-12-17:
+ Win32 support is now officially incorporated into the library.
+ The library no longer uses signals or expects you to have signal
handlers for SIGALRM or SIGPIPE.
+ Internal changes should result in the library being more friendly
to multi-threaded environments, although we still do not have our
test suite ready to certify that the library is 100% threadsafe.
+ Library defaults to "PASV-but-fallback-to-PORT" mode now (i.e.
cip->dataPortMode == kFallBackToSendPortMode). The previous
default had been PORT mode (cip->dataPortMode == kSendPortMode).
+ Library now uses timeouts by default since a signal handler is not
required (kDefaultXferTimeout==600, kDefaultConnTimeout==30, and
kDefaultCtrlTimeout==135).
+ Bug fixed where puts could delay a few seconds unnecessarily after
the file had been sent.
+ Library optimizations should result in less unneeded code included with
programs that use the libraries. Your programs should be smaller as a
result.
+ Recursive uploading has been substantially reworked for both functionality
and reliability. Arbitrary pathname sizes have also been removed, so
directory trees should only be limited by available memory and stack space.
+ Huge number of lint fixes. LibNcFTP now compiles cleanly on several
platforms even with extra warning options enabled.
+ Large number of internal changes to the configure scripts.
