1.1.21 is out

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi,

I finally did it :-) - 1.1.21 is released.  (There are dozens of things
that I really wanted to get into it, but didn't find time).

Nothing really great is included, but a number of small things that people
will like...

  * PGP signed packaging -> you get proof that *I* shipped this

  * for those of you that switch off their modems and do not like mgetty's
    complaints: set "need-dsr true" in mgetty.config, and mgetty will
    wait with the initialization until DSR becomes active (without
    logging WARN or ERRORs).

  * flow control for faxing can be set from sendfax.config and
    mgetty.config now ("fax-send-flow" and "fax-rec-flow" keywords, 
    arguments are one of "rts", "hard", "xon", "soft", "both" or
    "none").

  * the path to login.config can be set from mgetty.config now (via
    "login-conf-file <filename>"), if needed on a per-port basis

  * faxrunqd will now send multiple jobs for the same fax number
    (up to a configurable maximum number of pages, default = 10)
    for the same telephone number in one call to "sendfax", especially on
    very busy systems with many short jobs to the same number this
    is a big time saver.

  * faxspool can use an external configuration file ("faxspool.rules")
    to specify which programs to use to do file -> conversions, and to
    specify file name to type mappings (".text -> ASCII, .fax -> G3"),
    see the sample file for details.

  * some new modem types are auto-detected now

  * Caller ID for the Elink 343p is handled correctly (thanks)

  * Caller ID and called MSN number are passed to external programs
    (new_fax, voice shell, etc.)

  * WWW frontend improvements (still pretty experimental)

  * documentation updates

  * new modem query commands in "mid"

  * LOTS of voice/ stuff changes (see voice/ChangeLog).


still lacking:

  * proper flow control handling for the ELSA modems in voice mode
    (AT+IFC / AT\Q3 stuff)

  * new cnd-program return codes 



Because of time pressure on my side, this version isn't tested in all
aspects as well as my usual releases (read: some of the code has to be
"obviously correct", as I didn't test it at all), so watch out.  If you
don't need the features, stay with 1.1.20.
