Revision history for Perl extension Device::Modem.
1.57 Sun Jan 26 11:36:11 CET 2014
- Added a "handshake" option to the connect() method.
Allowed values are "xoff", "rts" or "none" (default).
Thanks to Ezio Bonsi for suggesting the idea.
Changes:
1.56 Thu Sep 29 13:43:31 CEST 2011
- [RT#71330] Unbroken the MANIFEST file. 1.55 was non functional.
Thanks to Vita Cizek for reporting.
1.55 [BROKEN RELEASE. AVOID] Fri Sep 23 22:01:31 CEST 2011
- Performance improvements by Ed Wildgoose, long time user. Thanks Ed!
Windows users, please test this release!
1.53 Thu Apr 01 13:49:00 CET 2010
- ***CHANGED*** default log file position
from /var/log/modem.log to /tmp/modem.log.
Too many failed tests and user reports made me
reconsider my poor default choice.
- Added voice dialing. Just dialing though.
You can't perform real voice calls through Device::Modem (yet :)
Thanks to Marek Jaros.
- Added ';' (voice dialing) and 'p' (pause) as valid values
for dial() number.
1.52 Sun Mar 28 15:50:00 CET 2010
- Added automatic port reconnection in the port() method.
This should improve connection reliability and reduce risk
of "Can't call method XXXXXX on undefined value YYYYYY" errors.
- Updating package for p5 module Device::Modem from 1.50nb1 to 1.51
- Setting license to perl license (according to module POD)
Upstream changes:
1.51 Sun Jul 5 09:46:08 CEST 2009
- Fixed documentation for answer() method, timeout was declared
to be in seconds instead of milliseconds.
Thanks to Mikko Puisto for reporting.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Add HOMEPAGE using search.cpan.org
Upstream changes:
1.50 Tue Sep 30 22:59:00 CEST 2008
- Fixed use of wrong 'error' loglevel for SysLog plugin
1.49 Sat May 31 22:38:00 CEST 2008
- Changed default wait cycles and timeout to be more reliable with slow
devices after several user reports.
- Fixed man page for Xmodem.pm module. Incorporated fix from
the debian package.
changes since 1.36:
1.48 Sun Jun 24 09:30:16 CEST 2007
- atsend() method made more reliable with longer commands (ex. longer
sms messages).
1.47 Thu Apr 20 22:16:17 CET 2006
- Sensible speedup in the command/response cycle.
1.46
1.45 Tue Nov 15 23:29:40 CET 2005
- Fixed dial() now it does not wait for timeout in presence of a valid
remote response (NO CARRIER, BUSY, ...)
- Fine tuned answer read cycle times
- Added constant $Device::Modem::WAITCMD for wait time before issuing
commands (atsend)
- Added patch to make Xmodem work from Aaron Mitti <amitti at 10east dot
com>.
- Now dial() accepts also '#' sign in numbers (thanks to Pierre Hilson).
1.44 Sat Apr 30 23:29:03 CET 2005
- (again) now cygwin and darwin platforms should be detected correctly.
- added a preliminary version of Device::Modem::UsRobotics module,
that allows to access voice/fax messages stored on your UsRobotics
message modem. Read the (incomplete) docs for more details.
1.42 Sun Sep 19 21:12:10 CET 2004
- little fix for correct MacOSX os detection and SerialPort inclusion
1.39
1.38
1.37 Wed Aug 18 09:21:50 CET 2004
- parse_answer() now in scalar context (string) returns *all* modem
answer instead of removing the last string (OK/ERROR/...)
- documented new example scripts: caller-id.pl and xmodem.pl
changes since 1.24 (incomplete from the distfile's changelog):
1.36
1.35
1.34 Sun Feb 22 18:12:54 CET 2004
- fixed CPAN bug #5131 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5131)
- closed CPAN bug #5134 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5134)
- dial() now should return correctly after a successful connect,
without unnecessarily waiting for timeout
- updated changes file missing in 1.35
1.33
1.32
1.31 Fri Jan 23 01:14:01 CET 2004
- Improved reliability in answer() method (sempre lui!),
that was more unstable due to recent changes.
- Documented _answer() internal function to get the raw modem reponse
instead of response string stripped of all cr/lf chars.
1.29
1.30 Sat Nov 8 18:23:02 CET 2003
- improved answer() method speed. Now it runs sensibly faster, but needs
explicit timeout parameter if you want to wait for answers (dialing
a remote modem, for example)
- implemented a basic xmodem file transfer. *DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS*
- documentation now stays only in docs/ folder, separate from main module
- now there is a way to get the raw modem answers (internal _answer() method)
1.25
1.26
1.27
1.28 Sun May 18 17:19:23 CET 2003
- dial() now works as expected, returning the `CONNECT' or `BUSY'
or whatever message without hanging for minutes;
- answer() routine now is definitely more reliable than before:
now everytime the buffer receives input from modem, it does
not restart counting the timeout. Removed also the possibility
of infinite loop if modem always receives garbage chars (like
on a RAW PPP link);
- Added full documentation for every method;
- Added a FAQ document in new "docs/" folder;
- new(): added possibility to pass a custom log object as `log'
property;
- fixed log levels for File and Syslog plugins. Implemented
correct log level masking also for Syslog.
Device::Modem class implements basic AT (Hayes) compliant device
abstraction. It is meant to be inherited by sub classes (as Device::Gsm),
which are based on serial connections.
