- History
- -------
-
- 0.00 -- 02 Oct 95
- First working version. Released only to a few people.
-
- 0.01a -- 05 Oct 95
- Added pppkill command to close a connection. Improved handling of closed
- connections. Probably fixed all the problems (ie computer hanging!) when the
- PPPdriver is RMKilled.
-
- 0.01b -- 12 Oct 95
- Improved PAP support (now works with the pap-secrets file like the Unix
- version). Every PPP unit is reinitialised after a connection close (ie it is
- possible to re-use a PPP unit after its previous connection has been closed).
-
- 0.01c -- 19 Oct 95
- First ShareWare release.
-
- 0.01d -- 26 Oct 95
- A PPP_FLAG is sent if the serial line has been inactive for some time (to
- flush any spurious data at the other end). Small improvement in the
- efficiency of the encoding procedure.
-
- 0.02a -- 01 Nov 95
- Some minor bugfixes. Improved registration scheme (now usercode-based).
- Maximum connection time for the ShareWare version changed from 10 to 15
- minutes.
-
- 0.03a -- 11 Dec 95
- Fixed a major bug that caused VJ-Compression to go wrong in most cases! Fixed
- another very serious bug that could cause random memory corruption in the
- RMA! The MTU specified in the command line when the module is loaded is now
- effectively used. Implemented BSD-Compression. Some code optimization and
- reorganisation, PPPdriver now uses less CPU time. Statistics printed by
- 'pppstats' improved. Debugging informations printed in !FreeUser.DebugFile
- are now more useful (or less useless...). Internal reorganisation to make the
- size of the module smaller.
-
- 1.00 -- 28 Jan 96
- Added possibility to display even more statistics specifying the "all" flag
- to "pppstats". Fixed a reentrancy problem in the packet send/receive code.
- The netmask is now correctly configured. Fixed command line handling: removed
- possible source of bugs and added GSTranslation of every parameter. PPPdriver
- now starts as a desktop application so that it can execute commands (eg the
- ip-up and ip-down scripts) as WIMP tasks. Added proper documentation!
-
- 1.10 -- 11 Oct 96
- PPPdriver can now be forced to connect only to a limited range of IP
- addresses, so it is possible to bind a registered version to a single
- Internet Provider. The new 'ip-up' file now sets the Inet$LocalIP and
- Inet$RemoteIP variables (needed by some Internet software). Some bugfixes
- and internal improvements. PPPdriver now uses less CPU time and is more
- efficient when it deals with fast serial interfaces. StrongARM compatible.
-
- 1.15 -- 15 Dec 96
- The desktop task now runs as a proper module task rather than as an
- application task as it used to; this saves 32Kb and is more 'clean'.
- PPPdriver seems to be much more stable than previous versions, in particular
- 'pppstats' no longer prints rubbish and PPPdriver can be RMKilled safely...
- hopefully! If you still suffer from any of these bugs please contact me.
