* Credits
See the file `COPYRIGHTS' for the copyright information of the
AmiTCP/IP and included material.
* License
The GNU General Public License version 2 (see the file `COPYING')
applies to the whole distribution, except for files explicitly
stated in the file `COPYRIGHTS'.
* 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.
