new features:
option "connect-timeout" limits wait time for connect operations
(requested by Giulio Orsero)
option "dhparam" for explicit Diffie-Hellman parameter file
corrections:
support for OpenSSL DSA certificates (Miika Komu)
create install directories before copying files (Miika Komu)
when exiting on signal, return status 128+signum instead of 1
on EPIPE and ECONNRESET, only issue a warning (Santiago Garcia
Mantinan)
-lu could cause a core dump on long messages
further changes:
modifications to simplify using socats features in application
new features:
option "wait-slave" blocks open of pty master side until a client
connects, "pty-intervall" controls polling
option -h as synonym to -? for help (contributed by Christian Lademann)
filan prints formatted time stamps and rdev (disable with -r)
redirect filan's output, so stdout is not affected (contributed by Luigi Iotti)
filan option -L to follow symbolic links
filan shows termios control characters
corrections:
proxy address no longer performs unsolicited retries
filan -f no longer needs read permission to analyze a file (but still
needs access permission to directory, of course)
porting:
Option dsusp
FreeBSD options noopt, nopush, md5sig
OpenBSD options sack-disable, signature-enable
HP-UX, Solaris options abort-threshold, conn-abort-threshold
HP-UX options b900, b3600, b7200
Tru64/OSF1 options keepinit, paws, sackena, tsoptena
further corrections:
address pty now uses ptmx as default if openpty is also available
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.

####################### V 1.4.0.2:
corrections:
exec'd write-only addresses get a chance to flush before being killed
error handler: print notice on error-exit
filan printed wrong file type information
####################### V 1.4.0.1:
corrections:
socks4a constructed invalid header. Problem found, reported, and fixed
by Thomas Themel, by Peter Palfrader, and by rik
with nofork, don't forget to apply some process related options
(chroot, setsid, setpgid, ...)
####################### V 1.4.0.0:
new features:
simple openssl server (ssl-l), experimental openssl trust
new options "cafile", "capath", "key", "cert", "egd", and "pseudo" for
openssl
new options "retry", "forever", and "intervall"
option "fork" for address TCP improves `gender changer´
options "sigint", "sigquit", and "sighup" control passing of signals to
sub process (thanks to David Shea who contributed to this issue)
readline takes respect to the prompt issued by the peer address
options "prompt" and "noprompt" allow to override readline's new
default behaviour
readline supports invisible password with option "noecho"
socat option -lp allows to set hostname in log output
socat option -lu turns on microsecond resolution in log output
corrections:
before reading available data, check if writing on other channel is
possible
tcp6, udp6: support hostname specification (not only IP address), and
map IP4 names to IP6 addresses
openssl client checks server certificate per default
support unidirectional communication with exec/system subprocess
try to restore original terminal settings when terminating
test.sh uses tmp dir /tmp/$USER/$$ instead of /tmp/$$
socks4 failed on platforms where long does not have 32 bits
(thanks to Peter Palfrader and Thomas Seyrat)
hstrerror substitute wrote wrong messages (HP-UX, Solaris)
proxy error message was truncated when answer contained multiple spaces
porting:
compiles with AIX xlc, HP-UX cc, Tru64 cc (but might not link)
and slightly modified by me.
socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two
independent data channels. Each of these data channels may be a file,
pipe, device (serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), a socket (UNIX,
IP4, IP6 - raw, UDP, TCP), an SSL socket, proxy CONNECT connection, a
file descriptor (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor, a program, or a
combination of two of these. These modes include generation of
"listening" sockets, pipes and pseudo terminals.
