0.8u1 ------ NT/95: Fixed a bug in nt/TcpErr.c. We show correct information about errors now. 0.8u2 ------ NT/95: The "reference" compiler changed. NT & W95 versions are compiled with MSVC now. Watcom C is not supported any more. Cosmetic changes to compile binkd with MSVC without warnings. Known bug: binkd exits incorrectly with ctrl-c/ctrl-break 0.8.5 ----- Binkd used to close unsecure sessions only by timeout, fixed readcfg.c rewritten FTN_DOMAIN and FTN_NODE moved to ftndom.h, ftndom.c, ftnnode.h, ftnnode.c Now one can specify an alternative port for a node in config.file: # node 5047/13 hostname.domain:altport - Fixed "bind: Address already in use" Now we define and use INVALID_SOCKET and SOCKET_ERROR instead of -1 for WINSOCK compatibility Logfile is opened just before writing and closed right after that readdir.h -- The header to get POSIX directory interface out of misc compilers Now binkd removes partial .pkt's (When next time creates a new temporary name in the inbound dir) When trying to receive a new file: remove from inbound partial files with this name but diff.size or time. (By default binkd will left old parts as .dt and .hr in the inbound directory) # kill-dup-partial-files Remove from inbound all old partial files. (OFF by default) # kill-old-partial-files NT/95: ctrl-c problems fixed Fixed a bug in protocol.c Show percents while sending or receiving # percents 0.8.6 ----- Fixed a minor bug in protocol.c (Some error msgs were not send to remote) Fixed "restoring poll with 'h' flavour" bug Added .csy support (A la T-Mail) Added more .?sy checks so binkd will not try to start a client to call a busy node Changed password checking a bit New keyword: # minfree binkd will skip all files from a node if size of the next file for us there + minfree < free space in inbound Default -- don't check Flags, like this # flag D:\\bbs\\flags\\toss!.now *.pkt flag D:\\bbs\\flags\\toss!.now *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? Misc bugs fixed by Mike Malakhov 0.8.7 ----- Added minfree-nonsecure (see. minfree). There is a good idea to set them both if you have both of your inbounds on the same file system. # minfree-nonsecure Minor fixes 0.8.8 ----- Extended the syntax of the Flag statement: # flag [!]path wildcard ... `!' before the pathname stands for "immediate" flag Binkd has become a really quiet thing. Use # printq keyword to make queue rescans verbose, and # conlog if you want binkd's log at your console. New keywords: # try hold binkd will try to call a node N times, if failed, it will hold the node for S seconds. The feature is off by default. Support for .try/.hld a la Brake Mailer g710+ Added more paranoya to inbound.c client.c/ftnq.c rewritten Improved SIGCHLD handling, use -DSYS5SIGNALS / -DEMXSIGNALS for SysV / EMX signal models, see reapchld.inc Added some experimental code, which will teoretically help to avoid some bugs Added include keyword: # include filename *IX: SIGHUP forces binkd to restart New keyword: # hold-skipped Binkd will hold all mail, skipped by a node, for S seconds. (Def. -- 3600) Extended the syntax of the Node statement: # node [[z:]n/]n[.p] [{host[:port]|-} [{pwd|-} [flavour [{obox|-} [{ibox|-}]]]]] Flavour is one of i, c, d, -, h; and is the flavour for the outbound filebox. All non-"-" fields will redefine values specified for the same node earlier in config. Default for ibox is inbound or inbound-nosecure depending on the pwd field. Default for port is oport. Binkd sends from obox all non-dir entries NOT matching ".*" wildcard. EVERY TIME YOU PUT A FILE INTO OBOX CHECK IF BINKD WILL BE ABLE TO UNLINK IT. Otherwise, the session will never end. 0.9 (Fri May 9 15:56:43 GSD 1997) --- Perform reverse resolving (logging only) # backresolv Log pid: # pid-file /var/run/binkd.pid Sometimes binkd reported "secure session" but used non-secure inbound Binkd could not rename files with `#' in their names after receiving (Reported by Andrew Sukhorukov) Some minor bugs fixed Added command line options: -i run from inetd (OS/2 or *IX only) (*IX: don't forget to turn `printq', `conlog' and `percents' OFF when running from inetd -- binkd'll not take care about this itself!!!) -c start clientmgr only -p start clientmgr only, make polls, quit if the queue seems to be empty after the next rescan -s start servmgr only Changes based on patch by Boris Tobotras -- 1) you can now use service names (as in /etc/services) with iport/oport 2) before using 24554 as the default port number, binkd will try to find "binkp" entry in /etc/services database first Binkd/0.8.5+ used to lose netmail under UNIXs sometimes and left .pkt's as .dt under OS/2, NT, etc. :-( Fixed. (Many reports) Added syslog support -- to use it you need to make binkd with HAVE_VSYSLOG defined and add syslog facility name to config: # syslog local0 (Based on patch by Boris Tobotras) Binkd could create a poll in *.olo instead of *.flo (Reported by Dmitry Baronov and John Gladkih) Now binkd will touch it's *.bsy's aprox. every 60 seconds. (Binkd changes *.bsy's m- and atimes only!) Extended the syntax of the Node statement: # node [[z:]n/]n[.p] [-nr] [{host[:port]|-} [{pwd|-} [flavour [{obox|-} [{ibox|-}]]]]] `-nr' stands for `Not Reliable Link', this works only on outbound calls with another binkp/1.1 mailer. The option solves the only problem with binkd having no enough time to start receiving of a file from non-zero offset before IP link's down, so don't use it unless you have this problem -- really not effective Map paths in flo's: # ftrans old-string new-string eg, # ftrans "D:\\fido\\outbound" "/var/spool/fido/outb" ftrans "\\" "/" # this replaces all slashes in a path Use as many ftrans's as you want. New keyword: # exec command wildcard ... Binkd will run the command if one of wildcards matches a rcvd file. *S in the command line will expand in a full path for a S.R.I.F file, see !SRIF.TXT for details, eg. # exec "my-freq-processor.exe /options *S" *.req (Not really tested) Fixed hang-ups in EMX version. May be. (John Gladkih) 0.9.1 (Mon Jun 16 17:37:04 GSD 1997) ----- *IX: Configure script. (see !README) Binkd could not correctly ACK receiving of files with some names (Reported by John Gladkih) Binkd ignored fileboxes' flavours (Reported by Sergey Gubanov) Changed a bit pid-file handling. Binkd will not complain about missing .rsp files when running programms with "exec" statement without using of *S macro. Binary log in T-Mail format: # binlog o:\\log\\binkd.sts tzoff 10800 # correct UTC time returned # by time() under DOS-derived OS (By Fyodor Ustinov) Binkd didn't strip disk labels (Reported by Fausto de Carvalho) Command line option `-C': exit(3) on config change -- checked on every incoming connection. (EMX BUG: binkd will not quit until all active connections are closed) Session would never end if remote skips files being sent from our outbound filebox. New keyword: # send-if-pwd Don't send (only receive) files if no password for an inbound session. Remove old .bsy/.csy files (If some left after a system crash). # kill-old-bsy It would be wise to set this to 43200 (12 hrs) on almost any system. (Note that binkd always touches it's .bsy's/.csy's for active sessions; kill-old-bsy is OFF by default) 0.9.2 ----- FronDoor- and Bink/+-style binary history (by maxb) # fdinhist in.his fdouthist out.his Amiga port by Dmitry Yurtaev You can now specify a list of internet addresses for a node: # node 999 Host-1;Host-2:333;Host-3 Some minor patches. Binkd used to remove pidfiles not in time (Sergey Babitch) Binkd will do 1:2/3.4 --> p4.f3.n2.z1.fidonet.net translation atomagically if you specify `*' as the hostname for a node: # node 999 * (Yes, you can say "node 999 fido.xxx.ru;*") Use `root-domain' keyword to change the root domain default for 1:2/3.4 --> p4.f3.n2.z1 lookups: # root-domain fidonet.org. Providing a password on incoming call on UNSECURE link (i.e. no password for them in our cfg, but they send us a password) isn't an authentication error anymore (It's not a pwd-protected link either).
