Semper versions history
=======================
Version Date Changes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.60b 17.02.94 - invented some bugs calling the BBS ... :-(
- changed message handling within multitasking
environment a little; now using appl_search instead
of appl_find if available;
- reading from the port should be a little faster
again when HSModem is available;
- a few smaller changes/fixes (just cosmetic);
- FOR ME: I now use a special 68881 Version which is
10k smaller than yours (and faster)! :-P
0.61b 03.05.94 - changed the i/o-driver _completely_! If there are
any problems please report ASAP;
- problems with key format hopefully fixed. If your
key should not work properly any more please tell
me. You'll get a new one in that case.
- Init string will not be sent to the modem after
a connect any more; instead it's sent to modem
before dialing out;
- added return string "No Answer" which appears with
some new modems;
- ZModem transfers will now start with a blocksize of
1kB so timing problems with the remote system
shouldn't appear any more;
- other smaller bugfixes ... :-)
0.61b1 03.05.94 - with TOS <= 0x104 Semper bombed, fixed;
0.62b 06.05.94 - the HSModem routine Fcntl( handle, &ctrl, TIOCFLUSH )
seems not to clear the buffers correctly. Therefor
there was sometimes trash in the logfile ...
- the menu is now disabled during transfer
- in some cases the logfile wasn't cut to the given
limit; fixed.
- Semper doesn't count the arcmail packets extensions
any more; this should solve any resync-problems after
a transfer was cancelled.
- it could happen (within Mag!X) that the position of
faded out windows was saved in the history.sys so
they didn't appear any more after the next start
of Semper; fixed;
- Semper now directly supports address-locking; each
address for which files are currently sent is logged
into the file addrlock.sys in the main outbound
directory; the entries have the following structure:
typedef struct
{
UWORD zone,
net,
node,
point;
UBYTE domainabbrev[9],
reserved; /* set to 0 */
} LOCK_ADDR;
Since JetMail will support this locking soon, too,
tosser and mailer will work parallel within a
multitasking environment or in networks;
0.63b 06.06.94 - port parameters were not set correct during
initializations; some systems seemed to have
problems due to this ... :-(
- Semper bombed if a FLOfile entry had no path
specification
- during receiving the hole file is now buffered in
memory (if possible); this means there is only
one disc access at the end of transfer >>> better
performance for 8MHz;
0.64b 10.06.94 - Serial 2 could not be saved on TTs; fixed.
- Disk access during working on a FREQ optimized;
- now also files to be sent are buffered in memory
during transfer (see 0.63b); this was a logical
step to increase the performance and error free
receiving of a file due to less many disk accesses
during Hydra transfers;
- Emsi handshake problems (CRC errors) with certain
system sorted out now;
0.65b 14.06.94 - Problems with domains without a '.' fixed;
- "Yuppie" wasn't able to handle too soon transmission
of crc during YooHoo handshake; fixed;
- Some session handicaps fixed; :)
0.66b 25.06.94 - once again had to work on the session problem;
I hope everything is fixed now ...
- did some work on ZModem routines (ported to
assembler -> Semper's 5kB smaller/faster now!);
- changed logging; transfer logging should be "more
equal" :-) between Hydra and ZModem ...
- smaller fixes in device routines.
- worked on the 'path-not-found' problem of some
systems; hopefully fixed.
- a small change in executing other programs; but
I don't believe that Kim's executing problems are
solved with that ... :-/
0.67b 04.07.94 - the never ending story continued ... :-(
Emsi handshake, ZModem 'resending from 0' ...
- longer commandlines for programs in functions;
please notice that the resources and config are
_not_ backward compatible!
- minor fix in device routines;
- Emsi bug concerning '{', '}', '[' and ']' if
specified in the system dialog fixed;
- txemsi.dat and rxemsi.dat were not reseted during
writing them out; strange effects! :-)
0.68b 08.07.94 - now supporting TOSWIN under MultiTOS;
- 'Drive U:' now only is accessed if available or
RSVF cookie is found;
- memory for the i/o-buffer (iorec-struct) is now
allocated with the 'Global' flag under MiNT if no
Fcntl( hndl, &buf, TIOCBUFFER ) is possible;
- if FastSerial is installed Semper will not try
to open a device any more;
- 'Path not found' error shouldn't appear any further;
- Emsi handshake problems and ZModem 'resending
from 0' should be fixed at last ...
- little bug in escaping characters in the emsi
packet fixed;
- sometimes trash appeared in the log window when
an unknown system was polled; fixed;
- Semper could bomb if HSMODEM1 was installed and
'NO GEMDOS' was used in HSMODEM1.INF; fixed;
- Semper now doesn't wait for ages any longer if the
modem isn't online;
- Modem1: RTS isn't deactivated any more when the
DTR is lowered;
0.69b 11.07.1994 - ZModem timing problems fixed;
- Emsi timing problems fixed;
- if programs were started under AES 1.40 and 3.20
and Semper was terminated, the last application
was started again; temporary fixed;
PLEASE if this should happen to your system send
me your AES and GemDos versions (enable '>' logging
and start Semper again);
- Flushing the i/o buffer under HSModem didn't work
correctly, fixed;
0.70b 16.07.1994 - small bug in device routines fixed;
- more tolerant emsi handshake recognition;
- faster modem response recognition;
- ZModem problems fixed (thanx to Daron Brewood):
PLEASE do not use HSModem1 without 'NO GEMDOS';
there have been lots of problems when using the
Fcntl() functions from Semper! Instead please
install HSModemA04 or FastSerial ...
- fixed problem when executing a program with 'P'
and no program was selected in the fileselector;
0.71b 24.07.1994 - if the disabled menubar was clicked Semper some-
times bombed; fixed,
- added new dialog (config->modem->special dial
strings): if the corresponding flag is found in
the nodelist _and_ the flag field in the dialog
is enabled, the alternate dial string is used;
please use the new BTNC where all these nodelist
flags are supported!!!
- Semper waited a little long at session startup;
fixed;
- DTE speed in the status window now contains
6 characters (115200 could not be displayed!);
- BBS.BAT: Time to next event is changed to time
to next non-BBS event; please tell me if the
calculation works properly.
- Hydra sometimes had the problem of endless resync
loops; hopefully fixed;
- extended space for freqesting files in the request
dialog to 32 characters;
