PoPToP ChangeLog --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.13 -> v0.9.0 11th June, 1999 - possibly fixed the 'error 629 on startup' bug. this fix is incompatible with the 'silent' option of pppd, so don't use the 'silent' option. - support a single localip with a range of remoteip's - new, small, fast, simple get_call_id() function - removed a few hardcoded values in ctrlpacket and replaced with defines - new pptp_read_header() - slightly more 'expensive' but should be much more robust - use openpty() if possible, internalize tty opening, startCall much more simple --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.12 -> v0.8.13 10th June, 1999 - removed ctrl-manager pipe completely - moved awareness of pppd-ip-alloc option to manager only - if using pppd-ip-alloc, manager runs more efficiently - made pptpctrl able to have a none, one or both of local/remote addresses rather than only both or none - great code simplicication - re-did IP parser; less potential segfaults from bad config - correctly calculate max connections based on number of IP addresses given and statically configured maximum - no max connections for the pppd-ip-alloc case - properly permit hostnames in IP parser - always use fd 0 for network connection - fixed -c option - note - this version changes the 'run from inetd' options. re-read README.inetd if you use it --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.11 -> v0.8.12 8th June, 1999 - made autoconf actually check the relevant headers - made config.embed.h and removed most #if EMBED in favour of using this - fixed some includes and re-arranged things to be a bit cleaner - minor cosmetic fixes - fixed compilation on StarOS 4 (and hence SunOS 4) - documentation on running from ientd - removed ctrl-manager pipe by default --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.10 -> v0.8.11 8th June, 1999 - now only two executables, pptpd and pptpctrl - re-did dependency generation - minor include cleanups --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.9 -> v0.8.10 8th June, 1999 - added getopt_long() from GNU libc for use on non-Linux platforms - fixed compilation on FreeBSD, Digital Unix and Solaris - replaced PPTPD_DEBUG define with configuration option (debug) and command line option (-d/--debug) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.8 -> v0.8.9 7th June, 1999 - unified CTRL and GRE processes (removed pptpgre), without the vfork problem since this is not forking - changed process name for child processes to pptpd [ip.address.here] - moved INTERNAL_IP_ALLOCATION to a configure option (see configure --help) - added support for libwrap tcp wrappers - made sure pppd doesn't get copies of file descriptors it shouldn't, so it closes down properly - lots of other misc fixes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.7 -> v0.8.8 4th June, 1999 - increased MAX number of clients to 100 - layout and comments have been tidied up extensively throughout code - new function in ctrlpacket.c for making Control Message headers - openBSD fixes - many other minor bug fixes - some portability issues addressed - accept() moved into pptpmanager. - pptpmanager closes one side of socketpair server fd and passes client fd other side of socketpair to pptpctrl. - pptpmanager main loop changed to select without timeout and made to watch ALL appropriate file descriptors. - also made resiliant against some potential error modes, eg, if we are full don't select on new connections descriptor, if accept() fails ignore it cleanly, etc. - should be more 'resource friendly' now. - Make error state filename instead of just CONFIG FILE: file not found. - Limit packet size to PACKET_MAX instead of permitting 4 more if no ACK is bundled (for consistency of packet size limit). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.6 -> v0.8.7 1st June, 1999 - GRE seperated from pptpctrl to support vforking - adds link status detection (ie if a link goes down, we can figure it out and deal with it) (Kevin) - Solaris/Slirp port (Harald Vogt) - cleaned up comments a lot (move towards C style to permit compiling in older compilers/increase portablity) - standardized #ifndef #define #endif defines in header files - stop inststr from nuking environment (hopefully) - use longer argv[0] in exec()s to make inststr much nicer - make inststr wipe args other than argv[0] - #define to remove some debugging (PPTPD_DEBUG) and to remove the IP address allocation code so PPPD can be used to allocate IP addresses (INTERNAL_IP_ALLOCATION) - in pptpctrl.c, main()'s addrlen was uninitialized - yuck, was causing random variable overwriting - clean up some wasteful memory copying and so on, as well as remove some copies into small static buffers - clean up some blank lines - increasing the amount of code visible one screen is good if it can be done without making the formatting ugly. - use exit() not _exit() in pptpd - the fear of this closing fork()d filedescriptors is wrong. both have the same file descriptor closing properties. - remove a potential leak of 2 filedescriptors in option parsing (checks of optional file names). - miscellaneous EMBED support for syslog etc. - many other misc changes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.5 -> v0.8.6 21st May 1999 - added new ip address reading from config file (for multiple connections) there is a new pptpd configuration file example in samples/ - pptpdebug.* is no longer... syslog now handles ALL debugging --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.4 -> v0.8.5 18th May 1999 - command line args/config file options are broken (everything hardcoded) - many, many, many structural changes for a multiple connection hack - multiple connection support - reconnect support - OpenBSD port (may be broken for this release... Peter?) - logging now to syslog DAEMON|DEBUG --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.3 -> v0.8.4 13th May 1999 - call_id/peer_id issues addressed in OUT_CALL packets - bug in debug log time fixed - local added by default to the pppd launcher - call_disconnect_notify bug fixed - -p command line arg broken --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.2 -> v0.8.3 11th May 1999 - a few minor multiple connection hacks.. still nowhere near ready to handle more than one client - pptpd -p logfile bug fix --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.1 -> v0.8.2 11th May 1999 - Server will no longer die if client disconnects - pppd is closed down cleanly now - autoconf/automake is back.. but still needs some work - a number of minor CTRL establishment bugs fixed - callid assignment modified slightly in manager --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.0 -> v0.8.1 4th May 1999 - PPTPD no longer relies on a signal (which had the potential to cause a race condition) to know when to launch PPPD/GRE. The CTRL session no longer relies on a signal to return from a fork. Signalling has now been replaced with IPC between PPTPD and CTRL sessions. - The GRE/PPPD sessions are now launched *after* an OUT_CALL_RPLY is sent not before it. - CTRL and PPTP managers are now seperate from PPTPD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8.0 30th April 1999 PoPToP now works with windows 95/98/NT and Linux clients.
