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.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
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.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
- 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
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

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.
