- A few fixes checking by pkglint.
Changes:
* libpreludedb-0.9.5.1:
- Correctly read database schema version.
* libpreludedb-0.9.5:
- Fix important memory leak in Python bindings, Prewikka should end-up
consuming way less memory than it used to.
- Fix PostgreSQL plugin compilation problem.
- Fix for preludedb-admin --count handling when --offset was used.
- Provide more information in preludedb-admin error message.
- Various cleanup.
Changes:
* libprelude-0.9.6.1:
- Flex generated file build fix for FreeBSD / NetBSD.
* libprelude-0.9.6:
- Implement workaround for buggy libtool that will fail
looking up symbol with preopening enabled in case the
libtool archive is missing. Lot of distribution package
seem to suffer from this.
- idmef-path API improvement, allow user to specify negative
index to address the list in reverse. Developer are now
supposed to use IDMEF_LIST_APPEND (in place of index -1) and
IDMEF_LIST_PREPEND (in place of 0) on listed object operation.
- idmef-path API improvement: support for (<<) and (>>) listed
object index, meaning to prepend the object / to append it,
as well as (*) meaning to retrieve all object from a list. This
deprecate the usage of (-1) previously used for appending.
- Fix deconnection problem in client reading mode.
- Improve option parsing: option value can now be provided using
--option=value. This format is now a requirement for option that
use an optional argument. Provide arguments information in the
option help.
- Fix deadlock on asynchronous prelude-client destruction.
- Definitely fix the problem where prelude-adduser will, on some system,
listen to Ipv6 IP address as the default: we now bind every address
returned by getaddrinfo().
- Fix crash in case of successive call to prelude_init(), prelude_deinit(),
then prelude_init() again.
- Introduce --passwd and --passwd-file option for prelude-adduser
register and registration-server mode, allowing to specify one shot
password on the command line, from a file, or from stdin.
- Verbose error handling for prelude-adduser.
- Fix perl bindings, make them more robust by adding type checking, and fix
memory leak.
- Fix parsing of string based broken down time criterion.
- Handle configuration file containing \r.
- Fix prelude_read_multiline2() return value (fix Prelude-Manager
idmef-criteria-filter plugin).
- Fix a bug in per thread error handling code which resulted in NULL
error to be returned in case an application thread exited.
- Various bug fixes.
* 2.2.2 (stable)
* The crash bug that occurred when trying to move IMAP4 folders right
under the root folder was fixed.
* The crash bug that occurred after a message window was closed while the
search dialog was still open was fixed.
* Win32: The console window is newly created if --debug or --help option
is specified.
* Win32: The non-ASCII filename encoding problem on executing external
commands was fixed.
* Win32: The bug that the main window became not responsive when an error
occurred on automatic receiving while the window was minimized was fixed.
* Win32: Spanish translation was added for the installer.
* Win32: The installer was fixed so that it selects correct language on
environments other than Japanese.
Version 7.15.2 (27 February 2005)
Daniel (22 February 2006)
- Lots of work and analysis by "xbx___" in bug #1431750
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1431750) helped me identify and fix two
different but related bugs:
1) Removing an easy handle from a multi handle before the transfer is done
could leave a connection in the connection cache for that handle that is
in a state that isn't suitable for re-use. A subsequent re-use could then
read from a NULL pointer and segfault.
2) When an easy handle was removed from the multi handle, there could be an
outstanding c-ares DNS name resolve request. When the response arrived,
it caused havoc since the connection struct it "belonged" to could've
been freed already.
Now Curl_done() is called when an easy handle is removed from a multi handle
pre-maturely (that is, before the transfer was complteted). Curl_done() also
makes sure to cancel all (if any) outstanding c-ares requests.
Daniel (21 February 2006)
- Peter Su added support for SOCKS4 proxies. Enable this by setting the proxy
type to the already provided type CURLPROXY_SOCKS4.
I added a --socks4 option that works like the current --socks5 option but
instead use the socks4 protocol.
Daniel (20 February 2006)
- Shmulik Regev fixed an issue with multi-pass authentication and compressed
content when libcurl didn't honor the internal ignorebody flag.
Daniel (18 February 2006)
- Ulf Härnhammar fixed a format string (printf style) problem in the Negotiate
code. It should however not be the cause of any troubles. He also fixed a
few similar problems in the HTTP test server code.
Daniel (17 February 2006)
- Shmulik Regev provided a fix for the DNS cache when using short life times,
as previously it could be holding on to old cached entries longer than
requested.
Daniel (11 February 2006)
- Karl Moerder added the CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY and CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET options
that an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then
extract the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any
transfer at all after the connect is done.
- Kent Boortz improved the configure check for GnuTLS to properly set LIBS
instead of LDFLAGS.
Daniel (8 February 2006)
- Philippe Vaucher provided a brilliant piece of test code that show a problem
with re-used FTP connections. If the second request on the same connection
was set not to fetch a "body", libcurl could get confused and consider it an
attempt to use a dead connection and would go acting mighty strange.
Daniel (2 February 2006)
- Make --limit-rate [num] mean bytes. It used to be that but it broke in my
change done in November 2005.
Daniel (30 January 2006)
- Added CURLOPT_LOCALPORT and CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE to libcurl. Set with the
curl tool with --local-port. Plain and simply set the range of ports to bind
the local end of connections to. Implemented on to popular demand.
- Based on an error report by Philippe Vaucher, we no longer count a retried
connection setup as a follow-redirect. It turns out 1) this fails when a FTP
connection is re-setup and 2) it does make the max-redirs counter behave
wrong.
Daniel (24 January 2006)
- Michal Marek provided a patch for FTP that makes libcurl continue to try
PASV even after EPSV returned a positive response code, if libcurl failed to
connect to the port number the EPSV response said. Obviously some people are
going through protocol-sensitive firewalls (or similar) that don't
understand EPSV and then they don't allow the second connection unless PASV
was used. This also called for a minor fix of test case 238.
Daniel (20 January 2006)
- Duane Cathey was one of our friends who reported that curl -P [IP]
(CURLOPT_FTPPORT) didn't work for ipv6-enabed curls if the IP wasn't a
"native" IP while it works fine for ipv6-disabled builds!
In the process of fixing this, I removed the support for LPRT since I can't
think of many reasons to keep doing it and asking on the mailing list didn't
reveal anyone else that could either. The code that sends EPRT and PORT is
now also a lot simpler than before (IMHO).
Daniel (19 January 2006)
- Jon Turner pointed out that doing -P [hostname] (CURLOPT_FTPPORT) with curl
(built ipv4-only) didn't work.
Daniel (18 January 2006)
- As reported in bug #1408742 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1408742),
the configure script complained about a missing "missing" script if you ran
configure within a path whose name included one or more spaces. This is due
to a flaw in automake (1.9.6 and earlier). I've now worked around it by
including an "overloaded" version of the AM_MISSING_HAS_RUN script that'll
be used instead of the one automake ships with. This kludge needs to be
removed once we get an automake version with this problem corrected.
Possibly we'll then need to convert this into a kludge depending on what
automake version that is used and that is gonna be painful and I don't even
want to think about that now...!
Daniel (17 January 2006)
- David Shaw: Here is the latest libcurl.m4 autoconf tests. It is updated with
the latest features and protocols that libcurl supports and has a minor fix
to better deal with the obscure case where someone has more than one libcurl
installed at the same time.
Daniel (16 January 2006)
- David Shaw finally removed all traces of Gopher and we are now officially
not supporting it. It hasn't been functioning for years anyway, so this is
just finally stating what already was true. And a cleanup at the same time.
- Bryan Henderson turned the 'initialized' variable for curl_global_init()
into a counter, and thus you can now do multiple curl_global_init() and you
are then supposed to do the same amount of calls to curl_global_cleanup().
Bryan has also updated the docs accordingly.
Daniel (13 January 2006)
- Andrew Benham fixed a race condition in the test suite that could cause the
test script to kill all processes in the current process group!
Daniel (12 January 2006)
- Michael Jahn:
Fixed FTP_SKIP_PASV_IP and FTP_USE_EPSV to "do right" when used on FTP thru
HTTP proxy.
Fixed PROXYTUNNEL to work fine when you do ftp through a proxy. It would
previously overwrite internal memory and cause unpredicted behaviour!
Daniel (11 January 2006)
- I decided to document the "secret option" here now, as I've received *NO*
feedback at all on my mailing list requests from November 2005:
I'm looking for feedback and comments. I added some experimental code the
other day, that allows a libcurl user to select what method libcurl should
use to reach a file on a FTP(S) server.
This functionality is available in CVS code and in recent daily snapshots.
Let me explain...
The current name for the option is CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD (--ftp-method for
the command line tool) and you set it to a long (there are currenly no
defines for the argument values, just plain numericals). You can set three
different "methods" that do this:
1 multicwd - like today, curl will do a single CWD operation for each path
part in the given URL. For deep hierarchies this means very many
commands. This is how RFC1738 says it should be done. This is the
default.
2 nocwd - no CWD at all is done, curl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and give
a full path to the server.
3 singlecwd - make one CWD with the full target directory and then operate
on the file "normally".
(With the command line tool you do --ftp-method [METHOD], where [METHOD] is
one of "multicwd", "nocwd" or "singlecwd".)
What feedback I'm interested in:
1 - Do they work at all? Do you find servers where one of these don't work?
2 - What would proper names for the option and its arguments be, if we
consider this feature good enough to get included and documented in
upcoming releases?
3 - Should we make libcurl able to "walk through" these options in case of
(path related) failures, or should it fail and let the user redo any
possible retries?
(This option is not documented in any man page just yet since I'm not sure
these names will be used or if the functionality will end up exactly like
this. And for the same reasons we have no test cases for these yet.)
Daniel (10 January 2006)
- When using a bad path over FTP, as in when libcurl couldn't CWD into all
given subdirs, libcurl would still "remember" the full path as if it is the
current directory libcurl is in so that the next curl_easy_perform() would
get really confused if it tried the same path again - as it would not issue
any CWD commands at all, assuming it is already in the "proper" dir.
Starting now, a failed CWD command sets a flag that prevents the path to be
"remembered" after returning.
Daniel (7 January 2006)
- Michael Jahn fixed so that the second CONNECT when doing FTP over a HTTP
proxy actually used a new connection and not sent the second request on the
first socket!
Daniel (6 January 2006)
- Alexander Lazic made the buildconf run the buildconf in the ares dir if that
is present instead of trying to mimic that script in curl's buildconf
script.
Daniel (3 January 2006)
- Andres Garcia made the TFTP test server build with mingw.
Daniel (16 December 2005)
- Jean Jacques Drouin pointed out that you could only have a user name or
password of 127 bytes or less embedded in a URL, where actually the code
uses a 255 byte buffer for it! Modified now to use the full buffer size.
Daniel (12 December 2005)
- Dov Murik corrected the HTTP_ONLY define to disable the TFTP support properly
0.9.0
adr2vcf: added (previously in flexmem), supports *45 and *55
