YTalk: Multi-user talk client http://ytalk.ourproject.org version 3.3.0 New features: * YTalk now recognizes GNU talk (gtalk) * Much improved VT100 support Changes: * YTalk is now released under the GNU GPL * The X11 interface has been removed since no one was using it and it had grown way too outdated * Unidentified talk clients are now called "BSD talk", since talk(1) originally appeared in 4.2BSD. * Moved to GNU automake * Re-indented sources with hard tabs * Added a couple of tests (run with 'make check') Bug fixes: * YTalk now tolerates stacking invite/import requests * Fixed a build problem on systems without snprintf() * Once again use $HOME when looking for personal ytalkrc version 3.2.0 New features: * Added far-right "stomping", fixes procps top(1) among other things * Separated handling of CR and LF, makes a lot of programs work better * Added support for 'G' escape sequence used by Gentoo's init scripts * Added "escape-yesno" patch from FreeBSD that optionally requires that you press before answering yes/no questions * Added a "YTALK_VERSION" environment variable to subshells Changes: * --with-x is now --enable-x Bug fixes: * Fixed an endless loop in curses titlebar code * We now use snprintf() instead of sprintf() if available * Restored limit on auto-invite hostnames from 16 to 64 characters version 3.1.6 Changes: * Don't even build pty allocation code if system has openpty() * Made all debugging code strictly optional, add --enable-debug to ./configure if you want it Bug fixes: * Fixed a crash when resizing YTalk in an XTerm * Fixed a remote-crash format string bug in auto-invite daemon * Fixed build problems on SunOS * Fixed --with-x on X.org (broken since 3.1.2) version 3.1.5 New features: * We now use openpty() if available to securely allocate ptys * Added the prompt-quit patch from Debian again (oops, lost in 3.1.3) Bug fixes: * Fixed a problem with the configure script on Slackware * Added a missing part of VT100 scrolling support * Fixed a small memory leak in terminal tab handling * Small documentation fixes and updates version 3.1.4 New features: * Added "rering all" to main menu (requested by Matthew Vernon in '99) * Added --with-curses=DIR option to configure script Bug fixes: * Fixed detection of `socklen_t' type on OpenBSD * Fixed a minor problem with the no-beep mode * Fixed a minor signed/unsigned issue * Cleaned up the configure script a bit version 3.1.3 New features: * Added support for job control on BSD systems * Added terminal tab handling * Added terminal keypad modes * Added "ignorebreak" mode (^C is ignored unless a shell is running) * Added "beeps" to the ytalkrc flags (applies to all beeps) * Added internal memory management and tracking Changes: * Maintainer change to Andreas Kling * Dropped getlogin() in favor of getpwuid() * Removed "debug" logging code Bug fixes: * Fixed the shell on Tru64 UNIX * restored compatibility with old talk daemons (broken in 3.1.2) * restored command line parsing (broken on many systems in 3.1.2) * Removed debug code that broke terminal raw mode in 3.1.2 version 3.1.2 New features: * Debug logger added * Now optionally prompts user before quitting (when using -q), patch from Colin Watson * Added parsing of long options * Fixed maximum username length to 11 instead of 8 Changes: * Maintainer change to Jessica Peterson * X support isn't compiled as default anymore * -x command line switch now enables X11 mode instead of disabling it. * Scrolling is enabled by default * Upgraded to autoconf 2.59 Bug fixes: * Fixed a possible buffer overflow regarding a oversized $HOME when loading the configuration file * Reset handling of SIGCHLD for shells - patch from P. Maragakis following hints by Jason Gunthorpe version 3.1.1 New features: * YTalk now checks that connections are answered from the expected host; if they aren't, it complains and shows the new hostname * Try to look for the current machine's FQDN if hostname() doens't include a '.' Bug fixes: * Fixed the shell under Solaris (oops, broke it in 3.1!) * Misc autoconf fixes * Resizing didn't work with Linux and ncurses, fixed it * n-way talk sessions should now be free of duplicated users * Fixed the "readdress" option somewhat * Portability fixes for 64-bit machines (size_t instead of int) version 3.1 * Minor documentation updates version 3.1beta2 * config.h.in was missing a line for HAVE_IOVEC_H * Redid the test for termios vs sgtty, making sure tcgetattr exists if termios is to be selected * Fixed 8bit-cleanness version 3.1beta1 New features: * Added -Y to ask for caps in yes/no questions * Added -i to leave the incoming talks to the daemon * Added the 'k' option to the main menu (kill all unconnected) * Made ESC[r in shells * Added the /dev/ptmx style of pty's, and some Solaris-specific code to go with it * 8 bit clean (except for character 0xfe, which is the lower case Icelandic thorn, b/c that is used as the delete char in ytalk, for some reason) * Added aliases for whole addresses, hostnames and login names * Let the user save his own side of the conversation too * Support virtual hosts and multihomed machines, by letting the user pick which interface to use, and otherwise making a guess at it Changes: * Avoid clearing the window when the last partner ^C's on you * Fixed line wrap inside shells (at the cost of breaking the specs in term.doc slightly) * Always understood both ^h and delete (^?) as delete chars * Split the "auto-rering" flag into "rering" and "prompt-rering" * Made ytalk send out FQDN's when passing users around, so the other machine has a chance to resolve the address * Use strerror() instead of sys_errlist, where available * Redefine our own sockaddr_in, since BSD4.4 (and FreeBSD and friends) use a different definition from what the talk daemons expect * Ported to GNU Autoconf Bug fixes: * Fixed annoying bug with UDP handling under Linux (that's where the spurious "no talk daemon" messages were coming from!)
