-
-
- Gopher for Unix version 1.1 is now available. There are many changes
- and bug-fixes. Many things are done a little differently now.
-
- Gopher compiles and has been lightly tested on:
-
- SunOS 4.1.[23]
- IRIX 4.0.1
- NeXT 2.2 and 3.0
- A/UX 3.0
- Ultrix 4.2
- EP/IX
- AIX 3.2
- HP-UX 8.0
-
- It's been indirectly tested on the following platforms
-
- Convex, Unicos, SVR4, and SCO ODT 2.0
-
- gopher1.1.tar.Z is available via anonymous ftp, or gopher from
- boombox.micro.umn.edu in the directory /pub/gopher/Unix
-
-
- Here are a list of changes since 1.03
- -------------------------------------
-
- * Fixed error processing results when using ANSI varargs.
- <asc@uci.edu>
-
- * WAIS search results will now get the name from a "Sidefile" (i.e.
- .cap entry) if it exists. Note that the indexes and the files
- must reside on the same host if this is to work.
- <Mike_Macgirvin@MED.Stanford.EDU>
-
- * The security file has been replaced with a gopherd.conf file.
- For info on configuration see the example gopherd.conf file, or
- the soon to be written gopherd.conf man page. Use the -o option to
- gopherd to specify an option file
-
- * Object type mapping from filename extensions is now implemented
- in the gopherd.conf file as well.
-
- * exec:args:/scriptname may now contain an empty argument list, so
- this is now valid:
-
- Path=exec::finger @moocow
-
- * Changed the way the WAIS code is linked in. You'll have to make a
- symbolic link for the WAIS bin directory now. (Read the updated
- INSTALL documentation.
-
- * Fixed problem with mail spool files with addresses longer than 64
- characters. (Greg Smith smith@bucknell.edu)
-
- * WSRC objects found through the WAIS gateway are interpreted as gopher
- search items instead of text files.
-
- * Logging when using chroot() will no longer give GMT times. It will give
- the local time instead. (Rob.Montjoy@uc.edu)
-
- * Reverted to old cache method that doesn't fail when you change the
- name of a parent directory.
-
- * Turned off linger option on sockets. The server shouldn't leave
- sockets in the CLOSING state anymore (well we can hope :-)
- (edmoy@violet.berkeley.edu)
-
- Also added SOREUSEADDR option on the socket.
-
- * Logfile now gets created with mode 644 permissions.
- (mark@sarek.plk.af.mil)
-
- * Fixed core dump problems with core dumps inside of waisgopher.c.
- The problem was with an incorrect AbortOutput() call that had the
- wrong parameters [buchali@sun8.ruf.uni-freiburg.de (Christine
- Buchali)]
-
- * Fixed all known problems with numbering. Numbering directories is
- different now. Instead of putting an item in the nth place, it sorts
- the directory as follows:
- - All numbered entries are first, sorted by number. If two items
- have the smme number, then sorting is done alphabetically
- - All remaining entries are then added at the end, sorted in
- alphabetical order.
-
- * Fixed problem with Wais gateway and munged characters. The wais
- gateway now obeys the protocol and transmits CR-LF pairs at the end of
- lines like it's supposed to.
-
- * Fixed problem with tmp files from ftp gateway.. Also, rewrote the
- ftp-gateway to talk ftp-protocol directly instead of relying on the
- ftp executable.
-
- * Directory listings are now generated with NLST -LF instead of -F, this
- should fix some problems with symbolicly linked directories.
- (valke@cca.vu.nl (Peter Valkenburg))
-
- * Audio files should transer across the ftp gateway properly now.
- (valke@cca.vu.nl (Peter Valkenburg))
-
- client
- ------
-
- * Processing of overly long titles is now better dealt with.
-
- * By popular demand, typing a number "enter's" the item, instead of
- just moving you there.
-
- * Copyright notice is displayed when you enter gopher for the first time.
-
- * Added support for GIF files.
-
- * Fixed bug where you can't change the Mail command.
-
- * Now can save direct from the menu, press 's', doesn't put icky
- bolding characters into your data...
-
- * You can now save into pipes, i.e. "| uncompress| xloadimage -" will
- do the right thing... Can't do it in securemode though..
-
- * Can now save in ~/ and ~username.
-
- * Removed dead code, blew away error.c.
-
- * Fixed error processing for cso queries. (JQ Johnson)
- jqj@ns.uoregon.edu
-
- * Changed prompt for mailing a document to "Mail current document to:"
- Mod from dhgo@midway.uchicago.edu (donald goldhamer)
-
- * Some of the error messages are more descriptive (unknown host etc.)
-
- * Client distinguishes between 3270 and Telnet types. Marie-Christine
- <gophadmi@gopher.yale.edu>
-
- * Fixed problem with line positioning when a failure to connect occurs.
- <snewton@oac.hsc.uth.tmc.edu>
-
- * Fixed bug when deleting last bookmark in a directory. Also fixed
- screen updating problem when deleting last bookmark in a list.
-
- * Added additional input processing, ^u now kills the entire line.
- Cursor keys can move within any entry dialog.
-
- * Fixed problem with backspace key on certain system V systems.
-
- * Cursor keys now wrap around the main gopher menu.
-
- * Added snazzy dialog boxes everywhere. Experimented with Character
- graphics. Should be much easier to use.
-
- * File/socket I/O is greatly improved. read() system calls reduced 1000
- times or more.
-
- * Fixed problems with leftover files in /tmp.
-
- * The client now allows you to specify more than one server on the
- command line. Do it like this:
-
- gopher gopher 70 gopher2 70
-
- It will randomly choose either server, this is useful for duplicated
- servers.
- .
