- Modem 1.20
-
- - TCP/IP sending and recieving now use a 32K buffer.
- This gives a dramatic performance increase!
-
- Modem 1.18
-
- - Bug fix: crashed when transmitting 0-byte files!
-
- Modem 1.17
-
- - Changed to TEXTTV: to TELETEXT:
-
- Modem 1.16
-
- - Changed code to send init string so it will send
- an "AT\r" init string by default.
-
- - Increased maximum allowed timeout errors doing maintenance
- since the player might be reading a huge directory.
-
- Modem 1.15
- (requires at least InfoChannel Beta 55!)
-
- - New tooltype: "7WIRE". When set the serial.device will
- be told to use hardware handshaking (RTS/CTS).
-
- - Made 'install runtime' routine rock-solid now. Was full
- of holes :)
-
- Modem 1.14
- (requires at least InfoChannel Beta 55!)
-
- - Kjell's SnapFiles stuff integrated. Perhaps hard to believe,
- but ScalaNet finally supports snapfiles! :-)
-
- - TCP/IP connect should properly support name servers now.
-
- - HACK: when receiving scripts with scheduling the Modem EX will
- now create a dummy event at the end of the script to ensure at
- least one event is running. Note that this will not work in
- complex scripts which will never reach the last event. Sigh... ;-(
-
- - Bug fix: wait script wasn't properly terminated in all cases.
-
- Modem 1.13
- (requires up-to-date infochannel.msg!)
-
- - Bug fixed in password file/directory checking for
- maintenance downloading.
-
- - Now starts the waitscripts as a subscript to the current
- script. This should solve the problem of using a waitscript
- when a script with subscript was running.
-
- - Moved all hardcoded strings to the Scala message library.
-
- - Extra check added to TCP/IP EX so we can't accidentily connect
- to ourselves.
- CHECK REMOVED AGAIN! Did not work reliably. Better to be able
- to connect to everybody, including yourself, than not being sure :)
-
- Modem 1.12
-
- - Teletext support added specifically for TI500.
- EX will return information about current teletext
- directory (date of the last updated page for this password
- and the page-ranges allowed for this password).
- The page range you are allowed to update is set in
- the password file. The format is:
- TELETEXT num1-num2 num3 num4-num5 ...
- An empty ranges string means you may access all pages.
- When no TELETEXT line is present no teletext updating
- is possible for this password.
- This should be totally consistent with the way the
- RECEIVE and SEND password settings work.
- If you do not use a password file teletext access is
- always _enabled_, so you may update all pages.
-
- - Bug fix: receiving from the System disk was broken.
-
- - TCPIP EX now aborts when InfoPlayer or InfoChannel
- is quitted. Previously it used to be stuck waiting
- for a TCP/IP connect and caused itself and the InfoPlayer
- task to remain running.
-
- Modem 1.11
-
- - Added cps code for ScalaNet.
-
- - TCPIP EX now runs on Interworks TCP/IP (C='s AS225r2)
-
- - The waitscript is now ignored when a subscript is running.
- This had to be done to work around the problem of not
- being able to restart the main script.
-
- Modem 1.10
-
- - Fixed problem with old Modem EX choking on stuff
- sent by new ScalaNet.
-
- - Bug fix: when the current script was requested and a wait
- script was running the wait script would be transferred,
- instead of the script that _was_ running.
-
- Modem 1.9
-
- - Date checking now also properly works for script files.
-
- - Support for SYS: maintenance added.
-
- Modem 1.8
-
- - Added all the necessary stuff to make file maintenance
- possible from ScalaNet (directory scanning, delete files,...)
-
- Modem 1.7
-
- - When ENABLEWIPES is on the Modem and NullModem EXes will
- *not* set their priority higher than the player.
-
- - New "FORCECALLBACK=<phonenr>" tooltype. When this tooltype is
- used the Modem EX will only accept callback calls coming from
- the phone number set in the tooltype.
-
- - Bug fix: sending of files under TCP/IP didn't work.
-
- - When a file is sent the file date will now be set to the
- date of the original file. This has been done in a
- compatible way, so sending or receiving with an old
- ScalaNet or Modem EX should not cause any problems.
-
- - File date is now checked before sending a file. If the
- server supports getting the filedate, a file will not be
- sent if the date hasn't changed. If the server doesn't
- support filedates (older Modem EX) ScalaNet will behave
- as before (in some cases checking the file size, in other
- cases always sending the file).
-
- Modem 1.6
-
- - TCP/IP support added, based on AmiTCP/IP 2.0 or higher.
-
- - Callback support added (ScalaNet Beta 4 and up have the
- possibility to ask the Modem EX to call back).
-
- - New tooltype: "CALLBACK=<YES|NO>". If CALLBACK=NO, callback
- requests will be denied.
-
- - New tooltype: "CALLBACKDELAY=<secs>". Number of seconds to
- wait before calling back. Default 5.
-
- - 'Can't find file' bug fixed (when waitscript wasn't used).
-
- Modem 1.5
-
- - Added internal support for the (beta) Dial EX. So the Modem EX
- can now perform the dialling for the Dial EX. Note that this
- is all still very much in the test stage.
-
- - Some changes for ScalaNet 500 Beta 2 and beyond.
-
- - When receiving a file the Modem EX (and ScalaNet) will now
- create a temporary file. The original file will only be
- replaced by the file that was sent if the transmission was
- successful. File replacement has been made as safe and as
- robust as possible as well.
-
- - Added WAITSCRIPT tooltype. Allows you to specify a script that
- will be played during modem communications. You would normally
- use this to put up a simple screen with "Please Wait" or
- something similar.
-
- - ENABLEWIPES tooltype to keep wipes enabled during communication.
- Suggest we do not document this tooltype as the reliability of
- keeping the wipes enabled has not been tested yet.
