7.2.0 is finally ready! Not much has changed since 7.2.0-beta3 (a good thing, really) but a heck of a lot has changed since 7.1.4. I highly suggest folks upgrade - the ability to send a HUP and reconfigure conserver without kicking off all your clients can be a great asset (according to my inner-circle of friends who are also users/testers). Here's the complete list of changes since 7.1.4. I hope everyone enjoys new the features. version 7.2.0 (Mar 12, 2002): - check for valid baud rates (invalid resulted in '0') - reported by Andrew Gallatin <gallatin@cs.duke.edu> - a broadcast messages to others on your console can now be sent via ^Ecb version 7.2.0-beta3 (Feb 25, 2002): - allow for 57600 and 115200 baud rates - patch by Andreas Wrede <andreas@planix.com> - TCP traffic now escaped according to Telnet protocol - the highly desired dynamic reconfiguration of conserver is here! the HUP signal now triggers a read of the configuration file and adjustment of consoles - configure flags shown in -V output version 7.2.0-beta2 (Feb 14, 2002): - new -W client option for showing who's attached to a single conserver master - suggested by Dave Stuit <djs@gnac.com> - maxfiles() clashes with HP-UX 11 'maxfiles' variable - patch by Adam Morris <AMorris@providence.org> - removed use of socklen_t type for better compatibility - removed TELCMD/TELOPT use for compatibility version 7.2.0-beta1 (Jan 29, 2002): - static structures and strings are now dynamic in server - MAXGRP (--with-maxgrp) has been removed as it's now dynamic - new -m server option for setting the maximum consoles per process - the default is still set with --with-maxmemb - new -i client option (and ^Eci) that displays console information in a machine-parseable format - two debug levels (second level by using two -D options) - ANSI prototypes and definitions (when available) Bryan Stansell
