- New in version 29kgw6 of AmigaNOS:
-
- 1) slip routines optimised for speed
-
- 2) nntp optimised for speed (including asynchronous I/O), hash tables
-
- 3) NNTP BATCH command added - format:
- NNTP BATCH <n>
- where <n> is the number of outstanding requests allowable.
- This allows news to be requested whilst still receiving previous
- news item[s] - improves speed significantly for those servers that support
- it. Default is NNTP BATCH 1 - ie no batching. NNTP BATCH 12 is a good
- value to try.
-
- 4) Serial device handling improved
-
- 5) Summertime (daylight saving time) bug in the Time client solved
- (I hope).
-
-
- New in version 29kgw5 of AmigaNOS:
-
- 1) Time client added (ported from PC version)
- New commands:
- TIME SERVER <address> sets the time server to be used
- TIME MINCORRECT <seconds> minimum amount to alter clock
- TIME MAXCORRECT <seconds> maximum amount to alter clock
- TIME SET set machine clock from time server
-
- 2) Stack size for Digger increased (attempt to prevent crashes)
-
- 3) ABORT command added for dial scripts. Format:
- ABORT <"string1"> [<"string2">...]
- Aborts dial attempt if any of string1, string2... are received.
-
- 4) Stack size for Chatnode increased (attempt to prevent crashes)
-
- 5) ARexx port (named AMIGANOS) added. Allows issuing of any AmigaNOS
- command via the ARexx port. NB EXIT will currently return 20, even
- though it does succeed.
-
- 6) Command interpreter changed to be case blind
-
- 7) Various features added to support external clients. New command CLIENT
- added:
- CLIENT <clientname>
- starts off an external client called clientname located in slip:Clients
-
- 8) AutoExit changed:
- New parameters of SUSPEND and RESUME. If more SUSPENDs have been issued
- than RESUMEs, AutoExit will not actually exit. Intended for use with
- processes which need to disable AutoExits for a while, but want to
- restore the situation they inherited (eg external clients).
-
- 9) AutoExit Start now exits straightaway if there are no active TCP
- connections.
-
- 10) ASYSTAT now displays NO CARRIER, ACTIVE, DIALLED status indicator
- against serial device. Status information now held more sensibly,
- by device.
-
- 11) New command AMIGA GUIDE <ON|OFF>. Alters help to use
- AmigaGuide. You must have AmigaGuide on your system, and you must
- have a file called AmigaNOS.guide accessible to AmigaGuide. It'll help
- if this file has information on AmigaNOS in it as well :-)
-
- 12) AMIGA REXX command now starts a new process to execute the Rexx macro.
-
- 13) New parameter added to FTP command. The format is now:
- FTP <host> [<port> [<file>]]
- If <file> is present, then ftp commands will be executed from <file>
- rather then from the console. The ftp session will terminate automatically
- when it hits end-of-file. Useful (especially in conjunction with the ARexx
- port) for unattended ftp sessions. If you want to specify <file> but
- not <port> then use * as the port (eg ftp ftp.demon.co.uk * ftpfile).
