(I used to cross-post between the announce and users mailing lists. I forgot to this time, so here is the slightly tweaked message for everyone on this list.) After almost 3 years, I'm happy to announce a new release. While there are tweaks and a couple bug fixes, there's one big addition that's aimed at being a "catch all" for folks who want to tie in power management or any other scripted activity (like unwedging a terminal server port): server-side tasks. As always, let me know (ideally on the mailing list, so others see it too) any issues or ideas. Patches are always good too. ;-) Thanks! version 8.1.19 (Sep 26, 2013): - prevent select/read loop when EOF on non-pty input (console) - reported by Chris Marget <chris@marget.com> - "!" syntax prefixing use of group names not honored - reported by Zonker <consoleteam@gmail.com> - fixed memory leak using timestamps - patch by Karvendhan M. <Karvendhan.M@netapp.com> - deprecated --with-cycladests (noop now) - cross-compilation should work without it as autologin now expects setpgrp() to take two arugments instead of testing for it - no automatic checks for an empty password when using PAM authentication - based on discussion with Ryan Kirkpatrick <linux@rkirkpat.net> - added 'sslcacertificatefile' and 'sslcacertificatepath' client configuration options - based on patch by Aki Tuomi <cmouse@cmouse.fi> - added 'sslcacertificatefile' and 'sslreqclientcert' server configuration options - added --with-req-server-cert to force clients to require a certificate from the server when using SSL - based on emails with Thor Simon <tls@coyotepoint.com> - added server-side tasks (see conserver.cf man page) that are invoked by the client (useful for things like IPMI-based power control of servers, invoking resets of terminal server ports, or anything else that requires scripting) - ideas from patch by Anton Lundin <glance@acc.umu.se> and discussion on mailing list (2011) - added 'confirm' option to break sequences - added 'breaklist' option to limit exposure of break sequences to consoles - sending of break signals is now announced to all attached clients Bryan Stansell
