2000

dnprogs (2.07-1) stable; urgency=low

   * Fix VMS errors sending block-structured files from fal
   * Added support for Ultrix DATE DAP message (another "new" extension)
   * Cope better with VMS errors when sending files (eg. disk full)
   * Changed some prototypes in netdb.h to match Ultrix
   * Fixed compile of phone because of stupid ncurses symbol
   * dnet_conn() is Ultrix-compatible (with a 2.4 kernel)
   * Substantial enhancements to mail to make it work. But only on 2.4 kernels
   * New function dnet_eof. Again, only for 2.4 kernels
   * Shared libraries linked correctly now (according to lintian)
   * Made it work properly on big-endian machines under 2.4
   * Vastly improved debian package
   * Mucked around with nearly all of the man pages a little
   * Made startnet set the MAC address of any or all interfaces

     about with it.
   * This file is now a Debian changelog

dnprogs (2.05-1) stable; urgency=low

   * Fixed bug in FAL where it sent .DIR for a directory name but didn't
     recognise it when it came back.
   * Some bugfixes in librms

 -- Patrick Caulfield <patrick@pandh.demon.co.uk>  Mon, 3 Apr 2000 19:33:06 +0000

dnprogs (2.04-1) stable; urgency=low

   * Fixed random crash in FAL when creating multiple files
   * Fixed a memory leak in dncopy sending multiple files
   * Fixed compilation on Slackware; I love linux having millions of distros :-(
   * Made startnet give out more friendly messages
   * dncopy now consults the DNCOPY_OPTIONS environment variable for default
     command-line arguments.
   * Added RFA file access to FAL - this is more useful than it sounds, honest.
   * Added support for files with variable length records (non-stream) to FAL.
     This needs metadata (-m) enabled.
   * Fixed bug in fal where OOB ACCOMP messages never got a response. This was
     most obvious when editting a large file via EDT and quitting near the top.
   * Removed dncopy.README as it didn't say anything anyway
   * Include a modified dnping with all sorts of new features, submitted by
     Rob Davies. man page by me.
   * Sethost now supports RSTS and TOPS-20. Thanks to Paul Koning for the patch.
   * Include rmtermd from Paul Koning so you can connect your PDP machines to
     Linux too.

1999

dnprogs (2.03-1) stable; urgency=low

   * RPMs now include the decnetconf script.
   * RPMs now include some previously missing man pages
   * Corrected dndir so that it works with DECnet/E.
     Thanks to Paul Koning <pkoning@xedia.com> for the patch. I've reworked it
     a bit so if it doesn't work blame me and not him.
     fal still needs a fair bit of work.
   * Asking for a directory of an empty filespec shows the user's home directory
   * Fixed startup scripts so that startnet really doesn't run on a 2.3 "Steve"
      kernel.
   * Zeroed out some sockaddr_dn structures for fussier 2.3 kernels.
   * Fixed compilation with gcc 2.95.2 (Debian potato)
   * Added prototype to dnet_conn into dnetdb.h
   * Made phoned a bit more robust to junk coming in on its socket.
   * Fixed static linking. Now use the local libs rather than the installed ones
      and also made it an all-or-nothing option.
   * Fixed dialling in phoned so that it bleeps at the user again.
   * ctermd no longer uses 'login -p'
   * Fixed the DAP client buffer size from 65536 to 65535. D'oh! Only my FAL
     barfed on this piece of (probably alcohol induced) stupidity; and it
     shouldn't have.
   * In FAL dir node::"/dir" now adds a "/*" to the end of the name so you get
     a directory listing.
   * Fal doesn't add version numbers to files that already have them (eg. files
     created by the VMS NFS client)
   * Fixed mirror in dnetd.
   * Fixed mirror example code in man page for dnet_daemon.
   * Fixed TYPEing files from VMS broken by blocking in 2.01.
   * Fixed manpage symlinks for dnet_getnode and dnet_nextnode.
   * Phone client now works with 2.3 kernels.
   * ctermd & dnetd use Unix98 ptys if available.
   * Prevent phone client from dialling itself because it causes a dealock
     with the server. I know this is only fixing the symptom but talking to
     yourself is bad for you anyway!
   * Some documentation updates and man page tidying.
   * Added -p option to dnetd to specify an alternative directory to look
     for program binaries.
   * startnet now works on 'Steve' kernels. It uses the sysctl interface to
     configure the system from the information in /etc/decnet.conf. You don't
     really need this (and the startup script still doesn't call it) but it
     is provided for completeness in case anyone wants to reconfigure their
     system on-the-fly.

dnprogs (2.02-1) stable; urgency=low

   * Done a little porting for NetBSD
   * Header field fixes (mainly for VAXeln)
   * Bug fixes to KEYed reads in librms
   * Added new functions to librms for easier programming

 -- Patrick Caulfield <patrick@pandh.demon.co.uk>  Thu, 21 Oct 1999 19:33:06 +0000

dnprogs (2.01-1) stable; urgency=low

   * Now builds on libc5 systems. Will I never learn?
   * Fixed dncopy/dntype with VFC files   * this must have been broken for ages
   * Minor Makefile tweaks
   * Improved speed of dncopy and fal by extensive use of blocking
   * Fixed blocking(!)
   * New function in libdnet: dnet_recv(). This function is designed to hide
     the differences between recv() in the 'Eduardo' and 'Steve' kernels in
     that it will always read a full record before returning.

dnprogs (2.00-1) stable; urgency=medium

   * Tidied up all sorts of dndir output, particularly against VMS 7.2
   * Fixed crash if dnsubmit/dnprint/dndir were run without parameters but
     with switches
   * Added exit-char option to sethost and proper usage message
   * Removed all references to dnmirror in man pages as it is now part of dnetd
   * Improved error detection in dndel
   * libdap now understands KEYDEF messages. How much use this is is doubtful
     as VMS always sends junk SUMMARY messages :-(
   * FAL now (partially) understands $ADF$ files created by VMS NFS client 5.0
   * rc script now installed into runlevel directory with RPM but will only start
     DECnet if /etc/decnet.conf exists
   * Added Steve's dnet_ntop and dnet_pton functions to libdnet

 -- Patrick Caulfield <patrick@pandh.demon.co.uk>  Sun, 11 Jul 1999 19:33:06 +0000

   * Fixed race condition in child-death handing of daemons
   * Install rc script in RPM
   * rc script "start" command will try to run startnet only if it has to
   * RPMs and DEBs now build with a prefix of /usr
   * All sorts of librms fixes
   * Tidied up 'startnet -hw'. With luck it won't segfault the kernel now.

dnprogs (1.93-1) stable; urgency=low

   * All libraries are now release under the LGPL. Thanks to Eduardo and
     Steve for allowing me to change the licence on their parts of this software
   * Allow command-line options to daemons in dnetd.conf (actually this was a bug)
   * Fixed logging (-v) in dncopy, dndel, dnsubmit, and dndir
   * Removed error strings from dncopy that were also in libdap
   * Fixed up error reporting in dncopy
   * getnodebyname(3) now accepts node addresses, eg. "dndir 1.30::" works
   * Moved man pages for ctermd and startnet to section 8 and updated them
   * Made phoned run as an unprivileged user after bind, which is all it needs
     root privileges for
   * 'make rpm' now honours all the prefixes and includes the right C++ libs
     from Debian
   * Cosmetic fixes to phone client
   * NEW! librms library to help people write Linux applications that read VMS
     files (including indexed ones)

dnprogs (1.92-1) stable; urgency=low

   * Don't link dntask against libdap
   * Install startup scripts during 'make install'
   * Fixed some warnings on libc5 systems - no not those!
   * dndir shows record size of fixed-length record files
   * Fixed fal bug which prevented overwriting of files
   * fixed fal logging
   * fal now shows directories in a more sensible form
   * First stab at FAL file type guessing. Opinions please!!

dnprogs (1.91-1) stable; urgency=low

   * This is a pre-release of dnprogs 2.0
 
   * New GTK-based phone client - needs GTK+ 1.2. Builds into existing
     ncurses client if GTK+ 1.2 is available.
   * Now uses kernel includes and warns if they are not installed.
   * loadsabugs fixed in phone client
   * Some phoned bugs fixed too
   * New functions dnet_getnode/dnet_nextnode/dnet_endnode in libdnet
   * Fixed problem with large messages in sethost (I saw this when shutting down
     a VAX from Linux)
   * Fixed signal race condition in sethost
   * New dnetd server to run daemons and arbitrary commands
     (needs latest kernel patch that supports SDF_WILD)
   * Should do all the right things with Steve's kernel patch now.
   * Better Makefiles - Thanks to Maciej W. Rozycki for the patch.
   * Static libdnet is not compiled -fPIC (because of above)
   * Can move config files out of /etc if you so wish
   * Made libdnet version match the suite version
   * New library libdnet_daemon. This contains code used by all daemon processes
     that (can be) forked by dnetd or run standalone.
   * Re-worked all daemon programs to use libdnet_daemon
