This document describes changes in the modules of the AmigaNCP package.
=====================================================================
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.6
-----------------------
- reversed "HideIcons" to be "ShowIcons", hiding .info and .backdrop
being the new default setting.
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.7
-----------------------
- fixed to a misunderstanding on RF_OPEN with P_FCREATE / P_FREPLACE:
The path of the file wasn't created if it didn't exists. This caused
problems with Backup option of the S3a which relies on this behavior
and doesn't makedir() it's file's path.
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.8
-----------------------
- changed to use "amigancp.library"
- fixed a bug in write handling where the last two bytes of a full
sized packet got trashed. Since internal data structures got
overwritten, this may have caused undefined behaviour or even
total system crashes.
- now correctly converts filenames from IBM to ISO charset.
- RF_SFSTAT (setting the file flags) didn't convert the name and
therefore always failed with E_FILE_NXIST. This is the cause of
error of the "File doesn't exists" requester after copying a file
from the S3's system screen.
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.9
-----------------------
- the finfo call now correctly converts the filename to ibm charset.
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.10
------------------------
- updated to use amigancp.library 3.x
- now calls the pool functions embedded in amigancp.library to
avoid hassle on 2.x systems.
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.11
------------------------
- fixed a bug in workbench startup: the original lock
wasn't restored after CDing to wa->wa_Lock
- updated to use amigancp.library 4.x
- major speedup in all charset conversion operations due to new
table conversion functions.
- fixed stupid bug: Used Read()/Write() instead of FRead()/FWrite(),
thus rendering buffering completely useless if not used in
conversation mode.
- updated catalog file to version 2.0.
- now checks CTRL^C after ReadArgs() to allow early quit.
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.12
------------------------
- recompiled using SAS/C 6.55
- cleaned up memory usage; avoid wasting due to mismatched pool
size rounding and fixed a pool erraneously allocated with a
puddle size of 4, thus creating a new puddle for every
allocation.
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.14
------------------------
- recompiled using SAS/C 6.55
- fixed some text
- insists on using V5 of "amigancp.library"
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.15
------------------------
- insists on using V6 of "amigancp.library"
- several small cleanups and fixes
AmigaNCP-FileServer 1.16
------------------------
- recompiled with SAS/C 6.57 for potential compiler code introduced
bugs.
AmigaNCP-FileServer 2.0
-----------------------
- insists on using V9 of "amigancp.library"
- will now warn if amigancp library is in S5 mode, and refuse
to run
==========================================================================
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 1.5
-----------------------
- fixed a bug in the file name conversion where the extension was cutted
at the first dot, not at the last. Both will fail, but this way
you are protected against side effects like "delete Agenda.Agn.info"
deleting "Agenda.agn" instead of simple failure.
- fixed a bug in ACTION_DELETE where invalid file names (e.g. containing
multiple extensions) to confusingly cause ERROR_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY.
Now returns ERROR_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND.
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 1.6
-----------------------
- changed to use "amigancp.library"
- locks now contain a non-zero value in fl_Key. This should fix several
problems with programs making tricky assumptions about the internal
lock structure. <sigh>
- now correctly translates non-ascii characters in filenames from
ISO to IBM charset.
- now attempts to recreate the NCP channel if the remote NCP
changed (e.g. was killed and started again).
- fixed a race condition when Examine()ing the root dir: the
filename was actually filled in after the packet was replied.
- fixed a bug which caused random memory trashing if the first
entry in a directory scan was volume file.
- returned TRUE instead of DOSTRUE thoroughly.
- Examine()/ExNext() now returns the same value in
fib_DirEntryType and the (undocumented) fib_EntryType,
as the standard file system does. Should fix several buggy
directory utilities ;-)
- ACTION_DELETE always returned ERROR_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY on
an error no matter what really happened.
- now returns ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_MOUNTED if the NCP link fails
for some reason.
- ACTION_EXAMINE on the root directory now correctly
returns the volume name.
- Locking "/" (or any combined form) didn't get higher than the
pseudo subdirectories in NCP:.
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 1.7
-----------------------
- ACTION_EXAMINE/ACTION_EXNEXT now correctly convert the
filename charset from IBM to ISO.
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 1.8
-----------------------
- updated to use amigancp.library 3.x
- now calls the pool functions embedded in amigancp.library to
avoid hassle on 2.x systems.
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 1.9
-----------------------
- fixed a bug in initdirlist() which could cause misaligned word
access if the P_FINFOs returned by the Psion weren't word aligned.
Caused a 80000003 guru on 68000 machines.
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 1.10
------------------------
- fixed a bug in ACTION_WRITE: remote errors (e.g. Disk Full)
weren't correctly reported to the caller, instead the write
simply aborted.
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 2.0
-----------------------
- now stores icon files in a special AmigaDOS directory hierarchy
to allow snapshoting and permanent option setting. The icon path
defaults to PROGDIR:Icons, but can be specified by the ICONDIR
tooltype or shell argument. Release versions are shipped with
a default icon tree.
- corrected inefficent pool size for the ACTION_EXNEXT cache.
- the "Missing Server" requester now has an additional option "Run Server
and Retry".
- on CTRL^C now reports number of open locks/files if quit is currently
not possible.
- on CTRL^F now dumps a debug list of locks in use.
- now fakes fib_NumBlocks on Examine() to enforce compatibility
with even more buggy directory utilities.
- did some internal code cleanup.
- updated to use amigancp.library 4.x
- fixed a bug in workbench startup: the original lock
wasn't restored after CDing to wa->wa_Lock (yes, this was
exactly the same bug as in the FileServer ;-)
- major speedup in all charset conversion operations due to new
table conversion functions.
- updated catalog file to version 2.0.
- now checks CTRL^C after ReadArgs() to allow early quit.
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 2.1
-----------------------
- recompiled using SAS/C 6.55
- ACTION_SETPROTECT & ACTION_SETDATE on one of the fake device
subdirectories return ERROR_INVALID_OBJECT_NAME which was
correctly generated by the Psion file server. Now since this
caused problems with several backup utilities, these operations
are now implemented as NO-OPs and silently report "OK".
- fixed ACTION_COPY_DIR(NULL) to return NULL instead of causing
several enforcer hits and undefined behavior.
- now returns approximated memory usage on CTRL^F debug dump.
- reduced lock and fib pool sizes to reduce overall memory usage
overhead.
[AmigaNCP-FileSystem 2.2 - 2.4 internal only]
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 2.5
-----------------------
- insists on using V6 of "amigancp.library"
- several small cleanups and fixes
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 2.6
-----------------------
- recompiled with SAS/C 6.57 for potential compiler code introduced
bugs.
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 3.1
-----------------------
- insists on using V9 of "amigancp.library"
- added EPOC32 protocol support
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 3.3
-----------------------
- fixed long directory reads in EPOC32 mode
AmigaNCP-FileSystem 3.4
-----------------------
- fixed parsing of short file names in EPOC32 mode
==========================================================================
ncp.lib 1.1
-----------
- modified constructor to open "amigancp.library"
- fixed error requester to correctly show up the tasks name on
workbench startup.
ncp.lib 1.2
-----------
- updated to open V3 of "amigancp.library"
ncp.lib 1.3
