HISTORY
-------
4.01: Logging facilities extended: apart from 'on', 'default', and 'off'
a logtype 'max' is implemented.
4.00: Due to recurrent problems with continuous callbacks, the organization
of the software has been modified. For compatibility reasons the programs
are still C (rather than C++) but the organization of the software is
now very much C++. Subdirectories contain functions belonging together,
and the interface between the groups of functions is defined rather
strict.
3.02: Next distributed version following te test-series 3.01
3.01: Series of callbacks with with I had continuously problems, due to
incorrect writing of active-files. The problem didn't occur after
forced flushing of the active-file buffer after writing a line to it.
I'm still puzzled why this must be: if you're interested, look in
srs/rss/toactive.c.
3.00: callback is now an elf-binary, assuming mgetty, rather than
getty-ps.
The default modem.ttyS? location is now /sbin, rather that
/usr/sbin.
Minor changes to callback.setup.
2.06: elf-version is the standard distribution, the getty program
is now killed by SIGTERM, rather than SIGHUP.
2.05: the usernames in the diallog-file are truncated to 8 chars,
as they are truncated that way in the 'last' listing
2.04: modification of cb's usage info so that it displays a minimal usage info
even if the callback.setup file isn't available.
2.03: Defining the callback.setup entry 'diallogfile:', logging the
times, targetnames and phonenumbers that are called back.
2.02a: distribution update: no software changes, but a typo in the provided
callback.setup file was repaired: with de 'frank' userspecification the
group 'its-me' must be (and is now) changed to 'sm'.
2.02: The display of the 'extra', 'direct' and normal callback destinations
can be controlled from the callback.setup file. By default the 'extra' and
'direct' entries are not displayed in the lists cblogin presents. The 'cb
list' command always displays all entries. In the callback.setup defaults
section, the keywords
extra
direct
and
nodestinations
can be used to control, respectively, the display of 'extra' and 'direct'
destinations, and the suppression of the display of the 'normal'
destinations.
2.01: CHANGELOG file reorganized,
technical.info file added,
bug in the rss:combine() file repaired.
2.00: Reorganizing the callback system: callback.setup introduced to configure
the callback system run-time for the dial-in or callback modes. Support
for multiple modem lines. The callback package maintained by Frank B.
Brokken (frank@icce.rug.nl).
1.21: Another code rewrite. "extra" and "direct" are no longer controlled by
defines in config.h but are used when defined in
/conf/callback/callback.ph. Password-like validation for these entries
added.
1.20: Major code rewrite. Multiple definition files for callback connections
supported. Added "direct" option. Docs improved. cbgetty program added.
1.11: Again a minor update. I'm not even sure that I will upload this version
to tsx-11 and sunsite.
1.10: Minor update. Program cbstat now goes into /sbin; cblogin still goes
into /conf/callback. The Icmake binaries were added to the distribution.
1.09: Code cleanup, usage information improved.
1.08: cbstat slightly changed: -reset no longer restarts init; only -wake
does.
1.07: Incomplete version, used old documentation and contained no binary
distribution. Discarded.
1.06: GETTYSTRING (see src/config.h) changed into "getty", no more
"/etc/getty ttyS3 modem vt100". I only have getty processes watching
the modem, no other.
Documentation updated.. again.
1.05: reinit() function of src/rss, used in both cbstat and cblogin, now
sends a SIGHUP to all appropriate (uu)getty processes. Defines
PSCMD and GETTYSTRING added to config.h.
My compilation results now also distributed in bin/.
1.04: Flags of cbstat may be abbreviated; cbstat -f is equivalent to cbstat
-fi, or cbstat -fil or -file.
1.03: cbstat -disable added, DISABLEGETTY define in config.h reflects the
used file.
Extra phone number to callback added, cbstat -callextra implemented.
Documentation revised.
1.02: Usage of cbstat changed. Can now dump current (uu)getty definitions
file.. I think it's handy.
1.01: State logging changed. The contents of the statefile are '0' for
state 0, '1' for state 1, etc. Previously that was '\x00' for state 0,
'\x01' for state 1, etc.
Callback login program renamed to cblogin.
Code split into directories, src/rss contains runtime support system,
src/cblogin contains cblogin program etc.
New program cbstat.
1.00: Initial release. One program, callback, as a bogus login.
