1.18 Software modified to make upgrading easier for registered users.
From version 1.18, new versions can be turned into registered
copies by copying a 'RegData' file from your old registered copy.
If registered users have a pre-1.18 version, they should email me
for a registration file.
The changes mean that registered users can carry on downloading new
versions from the FTP sites without having to ask for a new
registered copy.
Minor bugs introduced in 1.17 fixed.
1.17 Now possible to limit the number of anonymous FTP users, and also
the number of HTTP connections. The limits are set by system
variables defined in the !Configure file. More details can be
found in the !Help file within !DeltaNet. If you are upgrading an
earlier version, you should make sure your !Configure file sets all
the appropriate variables.
1.16 Filetype recognition of files uploaded to FTP server using code
from my !DiscEdit program. Files uploaded in ASCII mode typed as
text, others identified by contents. About 50 filetypes supported.
1.15 Changed data connection open message to say whether it is a BINARY
or ASCII mode connection.
FTP server should give a faster response to lots of commands in
quick succession (for example from a web browser).
1.14 Web CGI programs can now send headers. If the system variable
DeltaNet$CGIHeadered is set by the program, the server reads
headers from the output of the CGI program and appends a few of its
own. If the program sets DeltaNet$CGIRelocate to a URL, the server
will send a relocate reply automatically, using the address in the
variable. More details are in the !Help file.
To be consistent, the system variable for the CGI query string is
now called DeltaNet$CGIQuery - apologies if this break's anyone's
code!
Any problems with this (or with other parts of the Web server as
it has been re-organised), let me know.
1.13 I haven't the time to fix all the bugs that would get into this
version, I'll go straight on to 1.14!
1.12 Changed reply code for CWD to 250. The RFC is inconsistent, but
everyone else uses 250 so I'm doing the same - especially since
Lynx does not display the continuation messages otherwise.
Internal re-organisations and general tidying-up.
1.11 Removed an optimisation in 1.10 which has caused some connections
not to time out under certain circumstances.
Licence file supplied with expanded tabs - someone expanded them
themselves and DeltaNet doesn't really like people changing the
Licence file.
!Run file changed to work with RISC OS 3.6.
Made use of the send low water mark to eliminate any time spent
blocked waiting to write data.
Hopefully the program will now work better with freenet and SLIP -
I was rather relying on a feature which, while present in Acorn
TCP/IP, is not yet implemented in freenet. Symptoms were the
computer apparently locking up for tens of seconds at a time. The
solution is only a temporary one and I really need Tom Hughes to
implement the feature I want. Users may notice problems with very
large directory listings when using FreeNet.
Section on recommended software added to help file - people have
had problems through using old versions of Acorn TCP/IP and
freenet. (You should have FreeNet 1.00 or Acorn TCP/IP 4.07).
[ you should now use FreeNet 1.01 which cures the problem above ]
FTP server tries to send a .welcome file down the control
connection when anonymous users have logged in, and a .message
file when anyone changes to a particular directory. In RISC-OS,
these files are called /welcome and /message and must be readable
by anonymous users. If they are not present, no messages are sent
(obviously).
The continuation messages are disabled if you log in with a '-'
preceding the password, as for most other FTP servers.
1.10 Fixed memory leak in socket event dispatcher along with a few other
bugs which could cause problems under some unlikely circumstances.
STAT command reports version correctly.
Possible bug in handling of errors in CGI scripts possibly fixed!
1.09 SITE CHMOD implemented
1.08 Hopefully fixed a problem with LIST on passive data connections.
Anonymous password verification slackened. Passwords like joe@ are
now accepted.
Access on default AnonFTP directory changed to WR/R from WR/WR.
People probably didn't notice that the directory was writable and
probably left it that way. I have now also put template pub and
incoming directories in there with appropriate permissions.
Finger user@host produces a more UNIX-like output.
1.07 Individual servers can be disabled from the !Configure file. More
details in the !Configure and !Help files.
1.06 Minor fixes to FTP error logging.
1.05 Changed PORT limit to 1000 since some (broken) clients seem to
think that they can start there.
1.04 List now takes some UNIX ls options in order to behave better when
dealing with wierd clients that assume that its a UNIX machine at
the other end.
Stopped allowing clients to specify ports below 1024 when changing
the default port. This would have allowed them to send files to
mail servers etc. on any old machine, using the FTP server to cover
their tracks.
1.03 Passive mode data connections supported. I don't have access to
any clients which use this, so Fresco users please tell me if it
works.
1.02 Fixed lack of logo in announce window. Quite why ResEd displays
it correctly but after re-booting it disappeared is beyond me.
Anyway, it's back now.
1.01 Fixed idle time in finger output.
1.00 First general release.
