1 Version 1.0.16 RELEASE Sept 7, 2004 (RWP)
2 From 1.0.14pre1
3 - Changes for operation under Cygwin
4 - Added patch for Cygwin I_PUSH by Michael Wetherell
5 - dns is now transferred to peer, (If compiled with -DUSE_MS_DNS)
6 (Ripped off from hacked pppd version 2.2.0f)
7 - Two dns options can be specified on command line, (Only the first
8 is used internally, but both will get transferred to peer)
9 - Has a hack for connecting to a MS direct cable connect (If compiled
10 with -DMS_DCC) Only works when PPP (-P option) is chosen, but gives
11 effectively a nat'ed direct cable connect. (A chat script option would
12 be nicer)
13 - Fix to exit code that incorrectly iterated list of tty's attached
14 - Fixes to terminal restore code, No longer closes stdin on exit
15 - If stdout, or stderr are redirected, it wont close them
16 (so you can debug using fprintf(stderr...)
17 - No longer removes 0's, 1's from incoming data stream
18 - New Option nozeros to not look at strings of 0's, 1's to cause
19 exit/suspend (See docs/CONFIG)
20 - Can specify alternate tty on command line using "tty ttydevice"
21 (Overrides SLIRP_TTY environment variable) (see docs/CONFIG)
22 - Debug builds log raw incoming data, and ppp checksum fault packets
23 - Minor documentation updates
24 - Does not close all file handles, (Pain when trying to debug)
25 - Can manually turn on early debugging in main()
26 - Most of Tims security fixes in place, (It is still insecure...)
27 Probably snprintf will make slirp less portable.
28 (Sorry Tim, I don't like strncpy, so replaced them with a strncpy2)
29
30 Version 1.0.13 RELEASE Sept 30, 2000 <Kelly>
31 - Added a patch posted on SourceForge to use any arbitrary tty as a port
32 instead of the console.
33 - Fixed above patch to restore normal functionality by making the tty
34 /dev/tty
35 - Fixed the above fix by saving and restoring the tty state.
36
37 * Anyone know about Secure sockets?
38
39 Version 1.0.12 RELEASE August 30, 2000 <Kelly>
40 - Fixed my patch to sync with Debian's version of Slirp.
41 - Promised again not to "pull a Linus" -- aka releasing it and not
42 testing it to make sure it was good. :P
43 - Added ShengHuo ZHU's patches. RSH emulation added. Solaris 2.x
44 should work in compiling.
45
46 Version 1.0.11 RELEASE August 20, 2000 <Kelly>
47 - Added a patch to sync with Debian's version of Slirp.
48 - Fixed a typo with README.NEXT
49
50 Version 1.0.10 RELASE May 27, 2000 <Kelly>
51 - Moved the whole mess to SourceForge. The URL is slirp.sourceforge.net now.
52 Updated docs.
53
54 Version 1.0.9 RELEASE Feb 22, 2000 <Kelly>
55 - Added some #ifdefs to fix bad compilation on Solaris i86 boxes.
56 May also fix a few things with others. We'll find out soon.
57 - Rearranged documentation
58 - Added some warnings to the configure.in script about not using GCC for
59 compiling anything. Seriously, folks, why don't you have GCC on your
60 system? I've compiled it myself, and it's too eazy not to mess up.
61 - Version numbering changed to be more Linux Kernelish.
62
63 Version 1.0.8 (aka 1.0h) RELEASE (22/10/1999) <Kelly>
64 - Switched from commenting out to the much saner #ifdefs.
65 - Edited some of the documentation to point to new maintainer (me)
66
67 Version 1.0g-dk1 BETA (18/10/99)
68 - Merged in logwtmp, tcp connection closing fixes from "Slirp 1.0c-KK".
69 Slirp compiles once again on Linux boxen.
70
71 Version 1.0g RELEASE (13/08/99)
72 - Cleanup of the ICMP code. No ICMP packets are generated on receipt of an
73 ICMP packet with an error, except if the type is {0,8,[13-18]}. See RFC 1122.
74 - Local host ping -f crash solved.
75
76 Version 1.0f RELEASE (19/01/99)
77 - UDP sorecvfrom(so) code: the timeout for domain name lookup (port 53)
78 is not reset if recvfrom() returns an error. Zero size UDP packets are
79 forwarded.
80
81 Version 1.0e RELEASE (05/12/98)
82 - Corrected a bug in the udp sorecvfrom(so) code. UDP packets were sent with
83 udp_output() to the client even if the packet was received with an
84 error. ICMP packets are generated in this case.
85 - Debugged the EMU_CMD handling in tcp_input(). A telnet to the config
86 port, default 10.0.2.0, could not be closed from the client side (only
87 by typing quit at the prompt). The connection remained open and
88 re-telnetting gave the message "Already connected". The tcp finite state
89 machine went into the CLOSE WAIT state and waited forever for the
90 non-existing remote socket to close.
91 Solution : If a FIN is received and the socket is EMU_CTL, then the fsm goes
92 directly to the LAST ACK state and sends an ACK + FIN (one packet).
93
94 Version 1.0d RELEASE (19/8/98)
95 - Fixed core dumping while reassembling ip packets
96 found a bug in ip.h, ipasfrag.ipf_mff
97 found an error in mbuf.c, dtom()
98 - Added limited ICMP support. ICMP packets are generated when
99 a bad IP packet is received (full support)
100 an ICMP packet can not be imitated as a UDP packet sent to port 7
101 a UDP packet can not be sent, "Network is unreachable"
102 a UDP packet is received with an error, usually "Port unreachable"
103 a TCP connection can not be made, "Network is unreachable"
104 <vdb128@tele.kotnet.org>
105
106 Version 1.0c RELEASE (15/1/96)
107
108 - Fixed a problem with chmod()ing Slirp's tty.
109 - Fixed a problem with --disable-ppp.
110 - Added the ability to have ranges in the "escape" command. So, for
111 example, now you can use the command "escape 0-1f,ff" instead of
112 "escape 0,1,2,3,...,1f,ff".
113 - Added patches for HPUX for slirp.ftpd thanks to Jeff Thieleke
114 <thieleke@icaen.uiowa.edu>. It's in slirp.ftpd-b.tar.gz in the "extra"
115 directory at the usual Slirp ftp sites.
116 - Added an updates man page, thanks to George Ferguson
117 <ferguson@cs.rochester.edu>. It's in src/slirp.man.
118
119 Version 1.0b RELEASE (4/1/96)
120
121 - Fixed a few minor problems with compilation on some hosts.
122 - Added a few more FAQs to the documentation (slirp.doc).
123 - Fixed for systems without FIONBIO.
124 - Fixed a small bug in add emu, thanks to gentile@netcom.com.
125 - Changed the default baudrate to 115200.
126 - Added the option "keepalive" and "keepalive S" which enables TCP
127 keep-alives. This makes Slirp probe each TCP connection every minute or
128 so, or if given an argument, every S seconds.
129 - When load-balancing over multiple modems, you can now specify the password
130 in the environmental variable SLIRP_PASSWORD, then give Slirp the
131 arguements "-l x,host:port,-". This is for systems where the password is
132 still seen in a "ps x" even though Slirp tries to hide it, like Solaris.
133 - Add some performance enhancments to the load-balancing code, which
134 includes the addition of the "towrite_max N" option, and updated the
135 documentation accordingly.
136 - Fixed for systems without fchmod().
137 - Added the option "ppp_exit" which will force Slirp to exit when PPP goes
138 down. This way, if you type "exec slirp" from your shell prompt, when you
139 kill your PPP software you will be logged out.
140
141 Version 1.0a RELEASE (25/12/95)
142
143 - Finally released version 1.0. Yipee! Please read the section "Thanks" in
144 the file slirp.doc for a list of people I want to thank.
145 - Revamped the documentation. All the README.* files have been removed and
146 put into slirp.doc, with many other additions. Please read it.
147 - Turned on Talk emulation by default. What the heck, why not?
148 - Added IDENT emulation. Now incoming connections can be properly
149 identified if your software uses the IDENT protocol. Thanks to TheGit for
150 his help with this. Note: this is not complete yet. You can send
151 queries, but the reply, while correct, won't be the right format for most
152 programs.
153 - Added emulation for RealAudio 2.0 thanks to Juha Pirkola.
154 - Added the ability to load-balance over multiple hosts/accounts.
155 - Fixed detection of SIGHUP on a unit other than 0.
156 - Fixed a bug in fork_exec, thanks to Theodore Hope
157 <hope@ChanChan.pnic.pnud.org.pe>.
158 - Lots of other minor fixes.
159
160 Version 0.95j BETA (19/11/95)
161
162 - Fixed a problem with --disable-ppp, thanks to Lynn Larrow
163 <llarrow@netcom.com>.
164 - Ooops! Forgot to uncomment a peice of code used in rlogin emulation.
165 Rlogin should work properly now.
166 - Added emulation for "ping". Pinging the remote host will work properly
167 all the time (if slirp is actually working), but pinging other hosts may
168 not work even if the host is up. This is because slirp uses UDP to
169 "emulate" ping, not real ICMP ECHO-REQUEST packets which ping uses.
170 - Lots of minor fixes thanks to Juha Pirkola.
171
172 Version 0.95i BETA (16/11/95)
173
174 - "Fixed" a problem with WNOHANG not being defined on OSF/1 systems,
175 although it's not really fixed, thanks to Jeff Skone
176 <jeffs@u.washington.edu>.
177 - Fixed a redefinition error when net/if.h was #included, thanks to gruppo
178 progetto -cds <progetto@ds.cised.unina.it>.
179 - Fixed compilation on NeXT systems, thanks to Tomas Hurka
180 <tom@hukatronic.cz>.
181 - Made chap and upap files ~/.chap-secrets and ~/.pap-secrets respectivaly.
182 - Fixed a problem with sending a window of 0 on a SYN-ACK packet, which
183 would cause problems with some TCP/IP stacks with certain programs (eg:
184 Trumpet Winsock and mIRC) Thanks to Bjorn Eng <Bjorn.T.Eng@jpl.nasa.gov>
185 for helping me find this problem.
186 - Updated to ppp-2.2-RELEASE PPP code.
187 - Added preliminary patches for better load-balancing support when the
188 modems are not connected at the same speed. These will be finished when I
189 am able to get access to a second modem/ph. line. #define FULL_BOLT in
190 config.h if you wish to test it.
191 - Added support for rlogin. (rsh and rexec may come soon)
192 - Hopefully fixed the small-packet-syndrome once and for all!
193 - Lots of other minor fixes.
194
195 I hope this will be the last release before version 1.0.
196
197 Version 0.95h BETA (10/9/95)
198
199 - Fixed a rather nasty memory leak when BSD-compression was used. Thanks to
200 Valtteri Vuorikoski <vuori@sci.fi> for pointing it out, and Blake "Wacko"
201 Wright for helping me fix it (again).
202 - Fixed another rather nasty bug where urgent data could kill the
203 connection. Thanks to Blake "spam me!" Wright for helping me fix it.
204 - Fixed a third rather nasty bug which would corrupt uploads in certain
205 situations (usually uploading large files). Thanks again to Blake "woody"
206 Wright for helping find the problem.
207 - Fixed the "password" option when placed in the ~/.slirprc file.
208 - Fixed ./configure to recognise Unix sockets, thanks to Chris Metcalf.
209 - Maybe fixed a PPP problem, thanks to Steve Kneizys
210 <stevo@acad.ursinus.edu>.
211
212 Version 0.95g ***BETA*** (26/8/95)
213
214 - Fixed the baudrate bug in 0.95f.
215 - Added a few more Motorola fixes.
216
217 PLEASE NOTE: This is still *BETA* software. If you don't *need* to upgrade,
218 *don't*! It *will* fail. Infact, I guarantee there are bugs in 0.95g. I
219 know, I put them there! :) If you rely on slirp for your Internet
220 connectivitiy, *wait* for a stable version. The most stable version so far
221 is 0.9p (but it does lack a lot of features in the 0.95x releases).
222
223 Version 0.95f BETA (24/8/95)
224
225 - Fixed ./configure wrt unix-domain sockets.
226 - Fixed DCC CHAT wrt mIRC (and possibly others) (thanks to Shawn Hecker
227 <heckers@freenet2.scri.fsu.edu> for finding this problem).
228 - "add emu" will now mark allready-connected sockets to be emulated.
229 - Added a password to telnet 10.0.2.0. See the "password" option to set the
230 password. (before entering any commands, you must enter "pass PASSWORD").
231 - Hopefully fixed OOB data ("Urgent data").
232 - Fixed a bug in if_input (thanks to Robert Smathers <roberts@nmia.com> for
233 helping find the problem).
234 - Fixed a bug in main_loop() which should fix the problem with SCO's.
235 (thanks to "Jamie C. Hellstrom" <silkmare@baste.magibox.net> for helping
236 find this problem)
237 - Fixed an error with the baudrate calculation. Telnet should be more
238 responsive now. (Thanks to Antti Toivonen <atoivone@snakemail.hut.fi> for
239 pointing this out).
240 - Cleaned up a few things so it'll compile on more systems.
241 - Fixed BSD compression to work with VJ compression, thanks to Juha Pirkola.
242 - Made 2 fixes to get it to compile on Motorola SVR4, thanks to Mark Scott
243 <mscott@quaver.urbana.mcd.mot.com>.
244 - Fixed load-balancing on SunOS.
245 - A few other changes and fixes.
246
247 Version 0.95e BETA (2/8/95)
248
249 - Fixed compression autodetection in SLIP.
250 - Put the "compress" command back in. Please, do NOT use it unless slirp
251 does not autodetect CSLIP for you (shouldn't happen... anymore :)
252 - Fixed a stupid mistake I made for talk emulation.
253 - Made slirp compile on systems without unix-domain sockets. However,
254 without unix-domain sockets, you will not be able to restart nor use
255 load-balancing.
256 - Added more spellink paches from Chris Metcalf.
257
258 Version 0.95d BETA (27/7/95)
259
260 - Added more patches from Chris Metcalf, including OSF/1 patches. It should
261 work on OSF/1 with gcc now.
262 - Fixed a bug WRT multiple modems. You'd only be affected if your modems
263 are not all the same speed. This may also improve single-modem
264 performance, but I doubt it :)
265 - Added talk/ytalk emulation thanks to Juha Pirkola.
266 Note: it will only work for *outgoing* requests. Also, you need to enable
267 it by editing config.h and defining EMULATE_TALK, since a rogue user *may*
268 make slirp malloc() too much data.
269 - Added emulation for RealAudio and CuSeeMe, thanks (again :) to Juha
270 Pirkola.
271 - Added the client program "supload" which acts a little like "tupload" in
272 term. Read the file README.supload in the client/supload directory for
273 instructions.
274 - Fixed some configuration stuff, including mtu/mru to be recognised when
275 PPP is not compiled into slirp.
276 - Fixed a bug in (surprise!) SunOS, which would not terminate slirp upon
277 loss of carrier.
278 - Other stuff.
279
280 Version 0.95c BETA (22/7/95)
281
282 - Added patches for 64-bit systems from Chris Metcalf.
283 - Made "redir" more flexible. Now you can use a service name instead of
284 port to redirect to, and the (host's) port may be omitted, in which case a
285 0 is assumed. For example "redir ftp" is the same as the old
286 "redir 0 21". You can also use the service name with "add exec", eg:
287 "add exec nntpd:nntp".
288
289 Version 0.95b BETA (21/7/95)
290
291 - Added the command "wait" from Chris Metcalf, among other fixes
292 (including a fatal SunOS bug... surprise, surprise)
293 - Added patches from Wilson Cheung for BSDI.
294 - Fixed the Slirp> prompt.
295 - A few other things, I forget.
296
297 Version 0.95a BETA (19/7/95)
298
299 - Finished the load-balancing support as started in 0.9n. Read the file
300 README.load-balancing for instructions on how to use it. Big thanks goes
301 to Blake Wright bmwright@xmission.com for his patience in testing the
302 code, since I only have one modem.
303 As a result of the load-balancing support, the restart code has been
304 "generalised", and changed. Please read the file README.restart to see
305 how it has changed.
306 - Revamped the header files.
307 - Added the perl script mkpro, which automatically extracts prototypes from
308 C source.
309 - Revamped Makefile.in, configure.in, etc.
310 - Revamped the README files and documentation. They still suck tho :)
311 - Fixed a bug in slirp which would cause TCP/IP stacks with small receive
312 windows (less than 8192) to lock up. This was only really seen in Trumpet
313 Winsock because Linux/FreeBSD/etc. usually have a default window size >=
314 8192.
315 - Changed the copyright of ppp.c (with Juha's permission), so now there is
316 no more GPL'd code in the slirp package.
317 - Updated portions of the TCP/IP code to FreeBSD 2.0.5. Most of the changes
318 in 2.0.5 relate to T/TCP and hash lookup of the TCP/UDP control blocks.
319 These updates are not all that beneficial to slirp, so I won't incorporate
320 them yet.
321 - Updated slirp's PPP code to use ppp-2.2b2. This fixes some PPP bugs
322 and also adds niceties like compression, etc. provided your PPP software
323 supports it.
324 Note: the compression code does not work yet. It has been disabled by
325 default, if you want to enable it, edit ppp/ppp-comp.h and change the
326 #define of DO_BSD_COMPRESS to 1. Be aware that code in bsd-comp.c is
327 covered by patents in the states and other countries (not Australia), so
328 don't enable it if this bothers you.
329 - Added link, tty, vj statistics.
330 - Changed all the "ptr += ..." stuff to use lprint().
331 - Fixed a problem with slirp not choosing an optimal send and receive buffer,
332 which would result in slirp sending different sized packets.
333 - Fixed a bug in PPP which would sometimes bomb on uploads, thanks to Juha
334 Pirkola.
335 - Added the ability to emulate any service on any port ("add emu").
336 - Added more commands: "show X", "unit", "stats tty", "stats alltty", "stats
337 vj", "dns", "log stats", "log start", "socket", among others.
338 - Added 10.0.2.3 as an alias for your DNS (both UDP and TCP). Only use this
339 if slirp guesses the correct DNS at the start, or you give it a "dns"
340 command.
341 - Made slirp chmod the tty device so that it will not receive talk/biff/etc.
342 messages which would corrupt packets.
343 - Added Chris Metcalf's regular per-release patches *before* releasing it.
344 Clever, eh? :) Also thanks to Juha Pirkola for some pre-release bugfixes.
345 - Added a "quit" command and a prompt to slirp's command-line.
346 - Slirp's title has changed from "a (C)SLIP/PPP emulator" to the more
347 descriptive "a TCP/IP emulator over the (C)SLIP/PPP link-level protocols".
348 So there. :)
349 - "redir X" has changed. You can now tell it which port to start looking
350 for X redirections, and tell it to redirect to a specific X server.
351 - Made the DISPLAY variable be automatically set, provided you use
352 slirp.telnetd-b.tar.gz (at usual slirp sites, in the "extra" directory).
353 Note that if you don't use slirp.telnetd-b.tar.gz you will NOT get DISPLAY
354 set automatically, period. One thing you might try is set your LOCAL
355 DISPLAY variable to the one suggested by slirp and let your telnet and the
356 remote telnetd to negotiate the proper DISPLAY to set (if they both
357 support it)
358 - Added a very extensive "help" command. When you telnet to 10.0.2.0 and
359 type "help" you get a list of commands guaranteed to be up-to-date, and
360 typing "help COMMAND" will show it's usage and a brief description. You
361 can do this from the command-line too: -h COMMAND or "help [COMMAND]" and
362 slirp will exit after showing you the help.
363 - Fixed PPP for systems without CID compression. This will also help
364 error-prone links.
365 - Added an option to ./configure, --disable-ppp, which will not compile in
366 PPP. Use this if you only use (C)SLIP, it'll make a much smaller
367 executable.
368 - Added the following to the file COPYRIGHT:
369
370 If you find this software useful, please consider making a $10 (or more)
371 donation to your favorite charity organisation (GreenPeace, World Vision,
372 Salvation Army, etc). If you make a donation above $20, I'll send you a
373 personally signed copy of slirp (well, PGP signed :). I, and the lucky
374 charity organisation, thank you.
375
376 - *Lots* of minor, and *major* changes and improvements. If you don't
377 believe me, check the diff (it's about 700k) :)
378
379 Note that there are MANY changes in this version, so only use it if you're
380 prepared for horrible things that may go wrong. You probably should stick
381 to 0.9o with the 2 patches mentioned in my WWW page applied.
382
383 Special thanks goes to Chris Metcalf for bashing slirp for the last week or
384 so and sending lots of clean-up patches and additions to make it more
385 "systems-and-compilers-I-don't-have-access-to" friendly (And for showing me
386 how silly C can really be :)
387
388 Version 0.9o (5/6/95)
389
390 - This is just another fix-for-the-sunos release. It's not the first, and
391 won't be the last. Thanks to Juha Pirkola and Wilson Cheung
392 (wcheung@netcom.com) for taking the time to look into this. Thanks guys!
393 - Fixed X redirection.
394 - Fixed stats in a telnet session.
395 - Other (minor) misc fixes.
396
397 Version 0.9n (2/6/95)
398
399 - Added load-balancing support. Now, people with 2 (or more) modems can
400 effectively double (or more) their throughput. Load-balancing support is
401 NOT needed on your local machine, but it must be able to handle more than
402 one SLIP/PPP interface (you cannot use vj compression). (not working yet)
403 - Completely overhauled the configuration of slirp. It's much more flexible
404 now. Please read the file docs/CONFIG (not written yet) for details
405 (NOTE: ~/.ppprc is not read anymore... you can "cat ~/.ppprc >>
406 ~/.slirprc" to get it working again).
407 - Removed slirp.ftpd and slirp.telnetd from the main distribution. You can
408 get them separately from the usual slirp ftp sites.
409 - Fixed a stupid change I made to 0.9m which would severely slow the link
410 down when 2 or more connections were sending data, and vj compression was
411 used. The change was actually done to make it a tiny bit faster... go
412 figure :)
413 - Made some fixes to make sure packets are aligned on a 4 byte boundary,
414 which should fix some crashes on some systems (I hope).
415 - Fixed the memmove problem (I hope).
416 - Many minor (and major) fixes.
417
418 (Many patches that were submitted to me were not included in this release
419 because this was a rushed release (largely due to stupid bugs). They'll
420 make it in the next release, promise. Note also that the MTU/MRU is pretty
421 messy, and has now defaulted to 1500. It too will be fixed in the next
422 release. For now, make sure you tell slirp both the new MTU and MRU and
423 make sure they're the same)
424
425 Version 0.9m (22/5/95)
426
427 - Added slirp.ftpd. This is similar to slirp.telnetd, but for ftp; that is,
428 you can ftp 10.0.2.1 to ftp to the remote-host, there's no need to login,
429 no syslog()'s will be done, other users can't see what you're ftping when
430 they do a ps (unless you want them to), no getting refused a connection
431 because there are too many people ftp logged in via ftp already, etc.
432 (the original ftpd sources were taken from the FreeBSD-current)
433 - Fixed a bug in ppp_encap which would create lots of Incorrect Version
434 Number errors, hence loss of packets, hence bad throughput.
435 - Fixed a bug in sl_compress_tcp which *might* fix the
436 spontaneously-combusting connections. *crosses-fingers*
437 - Added more patches from Tom May <ftom@netcom.com> for slirp.telnetd.
438 - Added patches from Chris Metcalf which restarts a slirp session if the
439 connection was broken. To restart, run slirp with "-r". You can have
440 "-r" specified all the time so that scripts will automatically resume a
441 lost connection, if one exists. #define DO_RESTART in config.h if you
442 want this capability. It's really neat! Thanks Chris! :)
443 (Note that connections which use the address 10.0.2.1 will close after
444 reconnection, since they are run under user privilege, real telnet/ftp
445 connections shouldn't be affected though)
446 - Added more patches from Chris Metcalf to make PPP compile on more systems,
447 and finally get rid of the evil -DANSI.
448 - Lots of minor fixes.
449
450 Version 0.9l (11/5/95)
451
452 - Added PPP support, thanks to Juha Pirkola <Juha.Pirkola@helsinki.fi>. It
453 isn't "fully" integrated into slirp yet (eg: you can only give PPP options
454 on the command line), and there's a lot of fat-cutting to be done, but I
455 have tested it and it works like a charm! Thanks Juha! :)
456 (Note that this version might not (won't) compile on all OS's, so if
457 version 0.9k worked for you, stick with it until it becomes more
458 integrated)
459 - More spelling corrections and patches to patch.solaris from Chris Metcalf.
460 - Reversed sunos.patch patches, and renamed the "new" sunos.patch to
461 solaris.patch.alt, as an alternative to solaris.patch. Use whichever
462 works for you.
463 - Added emulation for DCC MOVE, thanks to Daniel J. O'Connor
464 <doconnor@ist.flinders.edu.au>.
465
466 Version 0.9k (07/5/95)
467
468 - Added more 64bit fixes from Kai Makisara. It should work on Alphas now.
469 - Added more patches from Chris Metcalf, including spelling fixes, krshd
470 support, etc.
471 - Fixed X redirection from ~/.slirprc.
472 - Fixed some UDP redirection bugs, thanks to Jay Cotton
473 <jay@calc.vet.uga.edu>.
474 - Hopefully fixed the zombie processes problem for good, thanks to William
475 Greathouse.
476 - Fixed an MTU bug thanks to Jay Cotton <JAY@calc.vet.uga.edu>. MTU's other
477 than the default should work now.
478 - Renamed the file ALPHA!!! to ALPHA!!, since it looks like slirp might
479 finally be stabilising :)
480 - Lots of other minor fixes.
481
482 Version 0.9j (02/5/95)
483
484 - IMPORTANT: The default special address has changed from 192.0.2.0 to
485 10.0.2.0. Read the file 00_README.NOW for details.
486 - Made some preliminary changes so it will work on 64-bit machines, thanks
487 to Kai Makisara <makisara@abies.metla.fi>. It probably won't work
488 properly yet, but should in the next few releases.
489 - Fixed a bug that may solve the Trumpet Winsock Blues (or at least one
490 verse), thanks to Juha Pirkola <Juha.Pirkola@helsinki.fi>.
491 - Added patches from William Greathouse to allow the PASV command to work on
492 incoming ftp connections.
493 - Fixed X redirection from ~/.slirprc.
494 - Added patches from Chris Metcalf <metcalf@catfish.lcs.mit.edu> to be more
495 K&R friendly, among other things.
496 - Lots of minor fixes.
497
498 Version 0.9i (19/04/95)
499
500 - Made ptyexec work in the command-line.
501 - Made "redir X" work in command-line and ~/.slirprc.
502 - Added support for PASV mode on incoming ftp connections.
503 - Argh! Had port 20 (ftp-data) same priority as telnet etc. Should get
504 better response times in telnet sessions now.
505 - Cleaned up the autoconfig a bit.
506 - Added better documentation of the commands in ~/.slirprc and the
507 command-line.
508 - Made many changes so it compiles with no warnings when using the -Wall
509 flags (well, 2 warnings, but they don't really exist :)
510 - Added more patches from William Greathouse.
511
512 Changes from SLiRP 0.9g -> 0.9h (16/04/95)
513
514 - Changed the exec/ptyexec commands so that an address may be specified too.
515 (but the address must be of the form 10.0.2.xxx)
516 - Added strdup for the systems that don't have it.
517 - Fixed X redirection. Now you must specify your home IP address.
518 - Added more stuff in TODO. If you want to help, read this file and do one
519 of the things listed.
520 - Added anti-idle mechanisms (must have at least one TCP connections active
521 to have idle-prevention!)
522 - Added more ANSIfying.
523 - We have Autoconf! *ALL* compiling troubles have now been solved, period.
524 (yeah, right! :)
525 - Added do_wait() to eat defunct child processes, thanks to Joe Rumsey
526 <ogre@netcom.com>
527 - Lots of minor fixes/enhancements.
528
529 Changes from SLiRP 0.9f -> 0.9g (07/04/95)
530
531 - Fixed a strerror declaration.
532 - Hopefully (FINALLY!) fixed ftp. If anyone sends me e-mail that ftp
533 doesn't work, they'll be shot.
534 - Fixed the Makefile for SCO.
535 - Added README.NOW. Please READ it... NOW! :)
536
537 Changes from SLiRP 0.9e -> 0.9f (06/04/95)
538
539 - Tried to fix ftp once more.
540 - Fixed some more embarrassing bugs.
541
542 Changes from SLiRP 0.9d -> 0.9e (05/04/95)
543
544 - I think I finally fixed the non-connecting problem, but it's ugly. Thanks
545 to William Greathouse <wgg@netcom.com> who found it. It still won't fix
546 the fact that a connection attempt to a port with no process will
547 either hang or connect then disconnect. (it works fine in Solaris, as
548 usual)
549 - Made changes to tcp_timers so that Uni of Canberra users won't get
550 spontaneous resets of a connection, though it could help others too.
551 - Hopefully fixed ftp for some users. Thanks to rossi@cs.unibo.it (Davide
552 Rossi) for pointing this out.
553 - Added patches by nlewis@is.net (Nate Lewis) to get slirp.telnetd to
554 compile on SunOS.
555 - Added an extra check in main.c which shouldn't be needed (it should be
556 taken care of by so_state) but crashes some systems. *sigh*
557
558 Changes from SLiRP 0.9c -> SLiRP 0.9d (04/04/95)
559
560 - *groan* SunOS still refuses to connect to non-localhosts. Changed the
561 connection-detection code again.
562 - Fixed a stoopid, stoopid mistake, which I won't tell you about, it's too
563 embarrassing :)
564
565 Changes from SLiRP 0.9b -> SLiRP 0.9c (03/04/95)
566
567 - Changed the code to detect when a non-blocking connection failed. Still
568 trying to find the ideal combination that will work for all OSs.
569 - Ported to HPUX, bsdi.
570 - Removed the PORT_ANY code. Now, if you don't care which port you get when
571 redirecting, use port 0.
572
573 Changes from SLuRP 0.9a -> SLiRP 0.9b (30/03/95)
574
575 - Changed the name from SLuRP to SLiRP (slurp already exists)
576 - Added telnetd to the source tree, which, if compiled, will be used so that
577 arbitrary commands can be executed by SLiRP (eg: by default, if you telnet
578 to 10.0.2.1, you'll automatically get a shell instead of a login prompt)
579 - Completely removed the old way of "address encoding" to dynamically
580 configure SLiRP, now you telnet to 10.0.2.0 and you get a "command-line"
581 interface to configure SLiRP on-the-fly, as well as many other commands.
582 - Added the ability to execute a program on connection to a certain
583 address/port.
584 - Changed if_output and if_start to be much smarter. It's quite clever now :)
585 No single session can hog the link, and if one interactive session gets
586 greedy, it gets "downgraded" to the same priority as bulk data.
587 - Ported to SunOS, SCO, AIX.
588 - Way, way too many small changes to list... (I've forgotten them anyway)
