Changes since version 1.3.16:
- Fix eBay parser.
- Add libcurl support. libcurl is now a dependency.
- Tons of little fixes.
- Fix potential security bug in versions <= 1.3.16 (CAN-2005-0158).
- Added Seller id to the Log.
- Fixed BUY Only items that expire but bidwather don't think so.
- Should compile on cygwin now.
- Be more compatible with BSD.
- Parse eBay pages properly again
- A parsing error leading to a segmentation fault is fixed (patch
from Klaus Singvogel)
- Get the snipe key 60 seconds before sniping because this key becomes
stale.
- Snipes do not try to get a snipe key at startup or setup.
- Set the proxy during startup. Otherwise a "Network error" is issued
at startup behind a proxy.
- Workaround a bug with german umlauts and other ascii > 127 in the
details windows. They are simply removed.
- Recognize shifting end times of auctions.
- User listings:
- The auction-id was read as "unsigned long" (4 Byte) instead of
"unsigned long long" (8 Byte). Due to that truncation some
auction-ids were not handled correctly.
- Ebay places linebreaks at the worst places in its pages: the
parser did not remove them all. So the auction id was not
found.
- Obtain snipe-key just when necessary, not earlier.
- New feature: Snipe groups
Changes since version 1.3.10:
- Fixed Bug #779784 Keeps updating finished auctions
- More portable build (builds with Compaq's C++ compiler)
- Removed some dead code.
- Details window shows all available information.
- Fixed BuyItNow autodeletion bug.
- Added basic proxy authentication.
- Fixed some BuyItNow handling.
- GetUserListings fixes.
- Better compatibility with Purchase Only auctions.
- Fixed quantity amount in detail window.
- Fixed bigUpdate: timeToNextEnd was > 5 mins, so it wouldn't fire.
- Fixed the idempotent header defines in bidwatcher.h
- Added functionality to open to a specific ebay country website.
- Fixed GMTIME BSD specific code.
- Don't try to bid if we failed to get the snipe key
- Fixed "Bid too low" message
- Fixed "You are highest bidder" message
- Fixed "Outbid" detection
- Added Pragma headers to coerce proxies into refreshing the content
- Printout log messages since they currently disappear in the statusbar.

- Fixed updating after snipe
- Updated User-Agent
- Handy --enable-debug configure option
- Added Comment field.
- Fixed ebay time sync'ing.
- Fix bad "Host:" entity-header if a proxy server was used. It used
to send "Host: proxy.do.main" instead of "Host: whatever.ebay.com".
- It now sends an "User-Agent" string which looks like Mozilla 1.1
including the real operating system and machine.
- It support using "POST" for the actual bid. I've succesfully tested
this by bidding on an auction.
- Fixed stupid bug introduced in 1.3.5 for certain ebay motors auctions
- Fixed handling bad DNS responses.
1.) Send correct "Host:" entity-header if a proxy is used.
2.) Supply a more appropriate User Agent intetification.
3.) Use a "POST" for request for the actual bid like the eBay form would.
Bump package revision to 2.
Changes since version 1.1.7:
- Conversion to use the gtk+ toolkit, making this version 100% GPL clean!
- Support for auctions in foreign currencies.
- Cleaner ebay access-- i.e. instead of hardcoded IPs, we now
do DNS lookups and follow 302 redirects
- HTTP proxy server support
- Support for eBay motors
- Uses the GNU Autoconf (configure) system
- Drag-n-drop support
uses your eBay id and password to track your eBay listings, items that you
have bid on, and items that you enter by hand. It also has an integrated
snipe tool.
This was initially provided by Brad Knotwell <knotwell@ix.netcom.com> in
pkg/13128 but has been heavily modified to remove FreeBSDisms and to use
buildlink.mk files.
