- Upgrade Notes for Internet Gate 1.40
- ====================================
-
- This version of Internet Gate has a new caching algorithm, more efficient
- than the previous one, that makes the old cache files incompatible. If you
- are upgrading from a version prior to 1.35, be sure to delete the old cache
- files before running this version of Internet Gate.
-
- The files you must delete are the following:
-
- cache.dat
- cache.idx
-
- all located in the directory where Internet Gate was installed.
-
-
- Using the dialer under OS/2
- ===========================
-
- We have received reports about the dialer not being working properly under
- OS/2. Since in all our test machines the dialer works fine we have decided
- to include our PPP.EXE, SLIP.EXE and SLATTACH.EXE files in the distribution
- package. These files will be installed in the same directory where Internet
- Gate will be installed, and will be used by Internet Gate instead of the
- one you have installed with the operating system.
-
- THE INSTALLATION PROGRAM DOESN'T ALTER YOUR SYSTEM FILES, NOR THESE FILES
- ARE INTENDED TO BE AN UPDATE TO THE FILES DISTRIBUTED BY IBM ITSELF.
- COPYING THESE FILES OVER THE EXISTINGS MAY PRODUCE UNPREDICTABLE RESULTS
- AND IS AT YOUR OWN RISK ONLY.
-
- This is merely an attempt to work around some reported problems, if the
- dialer still doesn't work, please contact us at support@maccasoft.com.

- Changes made in version 1.41
- ============================
-
- * Fixed a bug in the DNS server that prevented access to some internet
- sites. Specifically, this fix has solve some problems with the ICQ
- usage.
-
- * Added support for the Ident protocol. A new page was added in the
- Preferences dialog to configure and enable the Ident server used
- by most IRC servers to validate the login. Since Igate doesn't allow
- user-logins, the Ident server can specify only a single user name for
- all connections.
-
- * Added support for IMAP4 proxy.
-
- * Added support for the ftp proxy authentication used by GetRight. This
- usefuly utility uses the sequence
-
- ftp://<username>:<password>@@domain/directory/file.zip
-
- to authenticate the user to the remote ftp server, Igate can now detect
- and use this sequence.
-
- * Fixed the duplication of web pages when retrived from the cache.
-
- * The cache size limit is now working correctly.
-
- * OS/2 Version: fixed the non-proxy request radio button not working
- properly.
-
-
- Changes made in version 1.40
- ============================
-
- * New user interface. Internet Gate has a new user interface more
- attractive and intuitive than the previous, with large toolbar buttons
- and menu bar.
-
- * The help file was almost completely rewritten to be more clear on some
- clumsy configuration points. Hopfully this new help file makes the
- installation and configuration of Internet Gate more easy. Added a
- troubleshooting section.
-
- * Added support for the 'Pragma: no-cache' parameter that tells the proxy
- to ignore the cached files and reload the resource from the remote
- server. Now when you hit the 'Reload' button on your web browser the
- page is effectively reloaded from the remote server and the proxy cache
- is updated.
-
- * The SOCKS server now fully supports SOCKS5, including UDP-ASSOCIATE
- requests. Now programs like ICQ can work with Internet Gate.
-
- * Added support for non-proxy requests to the HTTP and POP3 servers. When
- a non-proxy request is made to these servers, the connection will be
- routed to a configurable local server for handling. With this addition
- you can have Internet Gate working with your intranet's WEB and MAIL
- servers on the same machine.
-
- * Increased the buffer size for HTTP requests. This should avoid program
- crashes with extremely long url requests.
-
- * Added support for the ftp: protocol to the HTTP proxy server. Now you
- can do ftp transfers from your web browser without need to configure the
- SOCKS server.
-
- * Added support for UDP Mapped Links.
