- Changes in version 1.06:
-
- As usual, many bugs were fixed.
-
- Support was added for the 'y' protocol, contributed by Jorge Cwik,
- the designer of the protocol.
-
- The name of command files was changed when using SPOOLDIR_TAYLOR;
- they now use a much longer sequence number. This affects the
- jobid strings reported by uustat. The change makes uux and uucp
- more efficient.
-
- Added ``called-timegrade'' command to sys file.
-
- Added --nostop and -E/--escape options to cu.
-
- Added -s option to uuchk.
-
- Added ``strip-login'' and ``strip-proto'' commands to config file.
-
- uux will now create a poll file if invoked as ``uux SYSTEM!''.
-
- If an execution fails, the data file is saved, if there is enough
- free disk space.
-
- uux now uses POSIX file locking, if available, when locking the
- sequence file.
-
- The man pages were incorporated into the Texinfo manual.
-
- The UUCP Internals FAQ was incorporated into the Texinfo manual.
-
- The spool directory layout is now documented in the Texinfo
- manual.
-
- Changes in version 1.05:
-
- As usual, many bugs were fixed.
-
- Support was added for the UUPC/extended 'v' protocol.
-
- Initial hardware flow control support was added, contributed by
- Peter Wemm.
-
- A new port type, ``pipe'', was added; this sends data to a program
- such as rlogin, and was contributed by Marc Boucher.
-
- The programs all now accept long option names with a leading --.
- They all support --help and --version.
-
- uuxqt now saves execution files it can not parse in
- $(SPOOLDIR)/.Corrupt.
-
- If a received file can not be moved to the final location, and
- there is enough disk space, it is kept in the spool directory.
-
- A run-uuxqt command was added to config, to permit specifying when
- uuxqt should be run.
-
- The 'i' protocol has a new ack-frequency protocol parameter. The
- remote-window protocol parameter was removed, as it did not work
- correctly.
-
- Chat scripts now permit /W in an expect string to set the timeout.
-
- TCP ports now support the ``dialer-sequence'' command.
-
- Direct ports now support the ``carrier'' command.
-
- Some support was added to read UUCP passwords from /etc/passwd,
- and to use encrypted passwords.
-
- uucico now accepts a -C argument to only call a system named by -S
- or -s if there is work for it.
-
- uucico accepts a -i TLI argument to use TLI I/O calls on standard
- input.
-
- uucico accepts a -u argument to set the user name.
-
- uucico accepts a -z argument to try the next alternate if a call
- fails.
-
- uustat accepts a -R argument to rejuvenate each listed job.
-
- Mailer configuration was moved from configure checking to
- policy.h.
-
- Support was added for QNX, contributed by Joe Wells.
-
- Changes in version 1.04:
-
- IMPORTANT: the default when talking to another version of 1.04 is to
- use the new bidirectional 'i' protocol. If you are using a
- half-duplex modem, such as a Telebit T2500, you will want to either
- mark the port as half-duplex with the ``half-duplex'' command, or
- force use of the 'g' protocol by using the ``protocol'' command in the
- sys or port file or by adding ``,g'' after the port name in the
- Systems or L.sys or Devices file.
-
- As usual, many bugs were fixed.
-
- Bidirectional transfers are supported with the new 'i' protocol;
- it requires an eight-bit clear datapath.
-
- New programs: uusched, cu, uuto and uupick.
-
- The 'G' protocol and a new Zmodem protocol were added.
-
- A number of uustat options were added to support uuclean, and a
- sample uuclean shell script was added to the contrib directory.
- The uustat output formats were changed slightly.
-
- A protocol extension eliminates transfer of the command file for
- simple commands, such as rmail or rnews, when talking to another
- version of 1.04.
-
- Some TLI support was added.
-
- UUCP forwarding was added, along with the ``forward-to'',
- ``forward-from'' and ``forward'' commands.
-
- If a file transfer fails in the middle, the retry will now start
- from where it left off. The implementation is compatible with
- SVR4.
-
- The work queue is checked every 10 minutes during a conversation;
- if there is new work and a bidirectional protocol is not in use,
- the receiving uucico requests the sender to transfer control.
-
- The amount of free disk space is checked periodically as a file is
- received, and if it drops too low the call is aborted.
-
- The UUCP configuration file reading routines were moved into a
- standalone library, uuconf. All known bugs in V2 and HDB
- configuration file reading were fixed.
-
- The ``half-duplex'' command was added for the port and dialer
- files.
-
- The ``max-retries'', ``success-wait'', ``send-request'' and
- ``receive-request'' commands were added for the sys file. The
- ``call-request'' and ``called-request'' commands were eliminated
- (they did not work correctly anyhow).
-
- \d in chat scripts now calls sleep (2) rather than sleep (1), so
- it will sleep longer (on some systems sleep(1) may delay much less
- than one second).
-
- SPOOLDIR_SVR4 was added for SVR4 style spool directories.
-
- Defaults are now permitted in the port and dialer files.
-
- The ALIAS field is supported in the HDB Permissions file.
