This release doesn't have traditional bug fixes, but it does have improvements that fix things that I consider bugs (so, minor bug fixes). It also adds a new "MOTD" feature, for displaying messages when users attach to a console. Here are the complete list of changes... version 8.0.2 (Oct 5, 2003): - reworked the i/o calls to better buffer data - added console 'motd' option for holding a "message of the day", displayed to the client on attachment to console - suggested by Toby Gerhart <toby.gerhart@eds.com> - added ^Ecm client command for displaying MOTD and integrated it into the client console attachment sequence - now unallocate client lists when forking new child conserver processes - changed strdup() to local StrDup() so dmalloc can gracefully track changes - added a ^Ec; sequence to let client signal server when it's ready to see console data, otherwise a chatty console can cause the login sequence to fail and you can never attach to the console Bryan Stansell
