1.7.4:
- Fix a stupid bug from the previous version. T=1 cards were not
working.
1.7.3:
- COPYING: Add my name as copyright holder
- hotplug libudev: support libudev >= 171
- hotplug libusb: Fix a memory leak
- pcscd: exit immediately in case of SIGTERM
Closes Debian bug #620305 "pcscd slows down shutdown/restart"
- Send logs to stdout instead of stderr
It is now possible to use tee(1) to redirect logs in a file without
first redirecting stderr to stdout
- Add command line option -T, --color: force use of colored logs
The idea is to have colored logs even if they are redirected to a file
or a pipe.
- Define g_rgSCardT?Pci as const structures to be more Windows like
I do not expect a regression or compilation problem in WinSCard API
users but how knows...
- log at level PCSC_LOG_DEBUG instead of PCSC_LOG_ERROR to avoid filling
the system log file
- Remove the deprecated define FEATURE_MCT_READERDIRECT (replaced by
FEATURE_MCT_READER_DIRECT)
- better Hurd support
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
1.7.2:
- fix a crash if a specific driver fails to work and no class driver is
available
1.7.1
- use libudev only on Linux and libusb elsewhere. The configuration now
works by default on GNU/kFreeBSD systems
- Try to use a (CCID) class driver if a specific driver fails to use the
reader.
- fix a potential crash
1.7.0:
- use libudev instead of (the deprecated) libhal
1.6.7:
- better Mac OS X support
- Fix Alioth bug [#312960] SCardDisconnect when other context has transaction
- add support of multi-interfaces readers with libusb and not just libhal
- add a API tracing feature in the client side (#define DO_TRACE)
- allow the use of tracing and profiling features from different
application threads
- fix a problem with a multi-slots reader
- fix minor problems detected by the clang tool
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
1.6.6:
- SCardGetStatusChange(): fix a bug on 64-bits systems
- Fix another bug because of a regression in internal list manager
1.6.5:
- Power on the card _only_ if an application requests a connection.
You can disable the feature using DISABLE_ON_DEMAND_POWER_ON in
src/pcscd.h.in
If DISABLE_AUTO_POWER_ON is defined then do not automatically power on
the card. The card will be powered on on the first SCardConnect()
See http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/10/card-auto-power-on-and-off.html
- SCardReconnect(): return SCARD_E_NO_SMARTCARD when card is removed and
SCARD_W_UNRESPONSIVE_CARD when card is unresponsive instead of
SCARD_E_PROTO_MISMATCH
- Install pcscd as sgid pcscd instead of suid root
See http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/09/pcscd-auto-start.html
- SCardSetTimeout() is no more provided. This function is not provided
by Microsoft and is deprecated since 2004 in pcsc-lite.
- SCardCancelTransaction() is no more provided. This function is not
provided by Microsoft and is deprecated since 2005 in pcsc-lite.
- Parsing the CCID Info.plist (159 readers supported) was, on a i386
machine, done in 264306 #s and is now done 5547 #s => gain x47 or 4600%
See http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/08/ram-and-cpu-improvements-in-pcsc-lite.html
- It is now possible to configure the local socket name to use using the
environment variable PCSCLITE_CSOCK_NAME
See http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/11/pcsc-client-and-server-on-two-different.html
- Wait until all connected readers have a chance to power up a possibly
inserted card before accepting clients.
- restrict pcscd features when not run by root (so using suid): APDU
logging or setting parameters are disabled for example
- fix compilation problem on kfreebsd-* systems
- PCSC/reader.h: HOST_TO_CCID_16() and HOST_TO_CCID_32() are now
identity functions
Since libccid 1.4.1 (revision 5252) the byte order is no more important
- If you want to use IFDHCreateChannel() instead of
IFDHCreateChannelByName() then do not use any DEVICENAME line in the
configuration file. IFDHCreateChannel() will then be called with the
CHANNELID parameter.
- the CHANNELID parameter can also be a decimal number.
- Remove the support of IFDHandler v1 API. I don't know any driver using
this API.
See http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/10/ifdhandler-version-1-support-removed.html
- avoids a buffer overflow with badly formed ATR
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
1.6.4:
- Do not use sysconfdir as configuration directory but
"${sysconfdir}/reader.conf.d" instead.
Use --enable-confdir=DIR if you want to set a specific value without
the "reader.conf.d" appended.
1.6.3:
- "/reader.conf.d" is only appended to sysconfdir if no value of
sysconfdir is provided
- Define LPSCARD_READERSTATE since this is used in the MSDN prototype.
Use LPSCARD_READERSTATE in winscard.h instead of (SCARD_READERSTATE *)
to mimic the MSDN API.
- fix a pcscd crash when the application uses a PCSC handle after a
fork. The crash was with openvpn.
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
1.6.2:
- implement a "Forced suicide" mechanism.
After 3 Ctrl-C without much reaction from pcscd (in fact the drivers)
we force the suicide. Sometimes libusb is blocked in a kind of
dead-lock and kill -9 was the only option.
- Add support of TAG_IFD_STOP_POLLING_THREAD to request the stop of the
driver polling function.
- Avoid a division by 0. Closes [#312555] "simclist bug in pcsc-lite"
- if pcscd is stared by libpcsclite then close all file handles except
stdin, stdout and stderr so that pcscd does not confiscate ressources
allocated by the application
- in case of auto exit create a new session so that Ctrl-C on the
application will not also quit pcscd
- src/hotplug_libusb.c: port from libusb-0.1 to libusb-1.0
- default configuration is now $sysconfdir/reader.conf.d
- fix crash with empty config dir
- src/PCSC/winscard.h: Remove definitions of SCARD_READERSTATE_A
PSCARD_READERSTATE_A and LPSCARD_READERSTATE_A types
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
1.6.1:
- SCardControl(): do not check for card events since we are talking to
the reader not the card. A smart card removal should not make
SCardControl() fail with SCARD_W_REMOVED_CARD
- pcscd do not timeout any more after 2 minutes of inactivity. If the
other side of the socket dies we will get an error from the kernel.
The problem was that if a client does nothing during
PCSCLITE_READ_TIMEOUT (120 seconds by default) then pcscd considers it
as a dead client and closes the connection. I guess this problem was
present since the first version of pcsc-lite but nobody complained
before.
- pcscd: do not return before most of the initialisation are done
correctly. The idea is that pcscd can return an error code if the
daemon fails to start correctly (hald not started for example).
Before the patch pcscd became a daemon, then returned 0 (success) and
then continued with the initialisation. If the initialisation failed
it was too late to return an error code. The /etc/init.d/pcscd script
was not aware of the failure.
Closes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580321
"/usr/sbin/pcscd exit codes broken"
- src/hotplug_libusb.c: Add a synchronisation so that if pcscd is auto
started the initial reader list is available before the server takes
commands from clients.
Before the change early calls of SCardListReaders() returned an empty
list of readers even if a reader was connected.
- SCardConnect() & SCardReconnect(): do not reset the cardProtocol in
SCARD_SHARE_DIRECT case since the card have _not_ been reseted. A new
PPS negociation would fail.
- Do not install files in /etc any more. Serial drivers are rare now.
- Avoids a crash if a client sends a unknown command.
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
1.6.0:
- redesign the client/server communication:
* no more shared memory used (allow pcscd and libpcsclite1.so to be on
different computer and talk over a network)
* no more difference between short and extended APDU
* no more use of a /var/run/pcscd/pcscd.events/ directory. events are
sent through the socket
* simpler command format between client and server
The side effect is that you are not able to mix an old pcscd with a
new libpcsclite1.so or the reverse. SCardEstablishContext() will fail
unless you update both sides of the communication.
- Use lists instead of fixed size arrays to store handles.
It is now possible to have:
- 200 simultaneous PC/SC clients instead of 16
- 200 SCardConnect per client instead of 16
- 200 clients per reader instead of 16
The default value of 200 can be changed by giving an argument to pcscd
--max-thread --max-card-handle-per-thread --max-card-handle-per-reader
- Make SCardReconnect(), SCardStatus() and SCardTransmit() block instead
of returning SCARD_E_SHARING_VIOLATION immediately. These functions
will then behave like on Windows.
This can happen if these functions are called when the reader is
locked by a PCSC transaction
(SCardBeginTransaction/SCardEndTransaction).
You can define the environment variable PCSCLITE_NO_BLOCKING to use
the old behavior.
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/dev/muscle/2010-q1/0041.html
- SCardEstablishContext(): try to start the pcscd daemon if not already
running.
. pcscd will suicide itself after 60 seconds of inactivity if it is
started using --auto-exit. This is the default behavior when pcscd is
started by libpcsclite
. Set PCSCLITE_PCSCD_ARGS with the argument you want to pass to pcscd in
autostart Only one argument is passed. The space character is not a
separator. example: export PCSCLITE_PCSCD_ARGS=-dfa
- SCardListReaders(): can use SCARD_AUTOALLOCATE
- SCardGetAttrib(): return SCARD_E_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER if the driver
returns IFD_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER
. add support of SCARD_ATTR_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME as it is better
implemented in pcscd (it knows the friendly name)
- SCardGetStatusChange(): Calling with cReaders == 0 will now just
return SCARD_S_SUCCESS
. Use the special reader name "\\?PnP?\Notification" to wait for a
reader event notification
- SCardTransmit(): do not limit the minimum size of an APDU to 4 bytes.
non ISO 7816-4 compliant cards (like Mifare DESFIRE) may use shorter
commands
- SCardStatus(): returns SCARD_E_SHARING_VIOLATION if the reader is
already used More conform to Windows
- PCSC/reader.h: update sruct PIN_PROPERTIES_STRUCTURE to be conform
with Revision 2.02.06, April 2009 of PCSCv2 part 10 Fields
wLcdMaxCharacters and wLcdMaxLines have been removed
. rename FEATURE_MCT_READERDIRECT in FEATURE_MCT_READER_DIRECT to be
conform with ch. 2.3 of PCSC v2 part 10
. add FEATURE_GET_TLV_PROPERTIES and FEATURE_CCID_ESC_COMMAND from
PC/SC part 10 v2.02.07 March 2010
. Add PCSCv2_PART10_PROPERTY_* defines
- SCardControl() return SCARD_E_UNSUPPORTED_FEATURE if the driver
returned IFD_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED or IFD_NOT_SUPPORTED This is used to
separate an unsupported value of ControlCode from a general error
- Use the standard --sysconfdir=DIR ($prefix/etc by default) instead of
--enable-confdir=DIR for defining the directory containing reader.conf
- remove SCF support (PC/SC over Smart Card Framework). I never used
this feature and SCF is now dead and replaced by JSR 268
(javax.smartcardio)
- Better handling of PCSCLITE_STATIC_DRIVER as can be used on platforms
using #Clinux (without dynamic loader). This is used to statically
link the reader driver to pcscd. Since the link is static you must
define the IFDHandler API version at compilation time. Either define
IFDHANDLERv1, IFDHANDLERv2 or IFDHANDLERv3
- Use dynamic instead of static allocation for the driver library
filename. The filename is no more limited to 100 characters.
Closes: [#312332] MAX_LIBNAME too short?
- force the return codes SCARD_* to be long since the SCard* functions
return a LONG type
- Add the ability to parse all the configuration files of a directory
instead of just one configuration file. update-reader.conf is then now
obsolete.
- Add --enable-embedded (default is no) to build pcsc-lite for an
embedded system. This will activate the NO_LOG option to disable
logging and limit RAM and disk consumption.
- If NO_LOG is defined then no log are displayed. The idea is to limit
the binaries size on disk and RAM consumption at execution time.
With NO_LOG defined we gain 26% (17 kB) for the .text segment of pcscd
and 15% (4 kB) for the .text segment of libpcsclite.so (for i386)
- Define a minimal pcsc_stringify_error() if NO_LOG is defined. Only the
error code in hex is displayed in this case.
Gain: 2kB of .text (10%) for libpcsclite
- Add --disable-serial and --disable-usb options
--disable-serial removes support of /etc/reader.conf gain: 8.0kB of
.text (12%) and 160 bytes of .bss (4%) for pcscd
--disable-usb removes support of USB hotplug gain: 9.7kB of .text
(14%) and 960 bytes of .bss (23%) for pcscd
If you use both options (and use a static driver configuration) gain:
17.7kB of .text (26%) and 1152 bytes of .bss (28%) for pcscd
- Better support of Android
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
This is necessary to avoid making opensc threaded, since then it can't
be dlopened by a non-threaded program.
Add patch comments.
Set LICENSE (modified-bsd, verified via wdiff).
This change is almost entirely due to manu@.
- Fix references to the confdir.
- Fix headers so thirdparty apps can be built with pcsc-lite from pkgsrc.
- Some minor changes to fix pkglint warnings.
- Bump PKGREVISION.
pcsc-lite-1.5.5: Ludovic Rousseau
28 July 2009
- add the reader interface name if provided by the device
- SCardTransmit(): return SCARD_E_UNSUPPORTED_FEATURE if
SCARD_PROTOCOL_RAW is requested by unsupported
- SCardConnect() and SCardReconnect(): set dwActiveProtocol to
SCARD_PROTOCOL_UNDEFINED if SCARD_SHARE_DIRECT is used (conform to
MSDN). Contrary to Windows winscard behavior, the reader is accessed in
shared mode and not exclusive mode if SCARD_SHARE_DIRECT is used.
- SCardControl(): correctly check for buffer overflow (bug introduced in
pcsc-lite 1.5.4)
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
- SCardGetStatusChange() works again. It was broken in some cases since
version 1.5.2
- detect buffer overflows if pcscd if used by a rogue client
- force access rights on /var/run/pcscd to be sure it can be used by a
libpcsclite client without privileges [SECURITY]
- create the PCSCLITE_EVENTS_DIR directory with the sticky bit so only
root or the owner of the event files can remove them
- if RFAddReader() fails with the libhal scheme then we try with the
(old) libusb scheme. This patch should allow proprietary drivers to
work even if pcsc-lite is compiled with libhal support.
- give a higher priority to a specific driver over the CCID Class
driver. This should allow proprietary drivers to be used instead of
libccid when possible
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
Changelog:
pcsc-lite-1.5.3: Ludovic Rousseau
- SCardEstablishContext(): check we do not reuse an already allocated
hContext
Thanks to Daniel Nobs for the bug report and patch
- pcsclite.h: add missing SCARD_E_* and SCARD_W_* return code. They are
unused by pcsc-lite but defined on Windows
- reader.h: add PIN_PROPERTIES_STRUCTURE structure and
FEATURE_IFD_PIN_PROPERTIES
Thanks to Martin Paljak for the patch
- remove powermgt_macosx.c since it is using APSL version 1.1 instead of
the BSD-like licence like the other files
Thanks to Stanislav Brabec for the bug report
- avoid a possible crash due to a race condition
Thanks to Matheus Ribeiro for the patch
- change default log level from PCSC_LOG_INFO to PCSC_LOG_ERROR to limit
syslog pollution
- CardDisconnect(): call RFUnlockAllSharing() instead of
RFUnlockSharing() to release all nested locks. The problem occurs if
SCardBeginTransaction() are made without corresponding
SCardEndTransaction(). OpenSC "pkcs11-tool -I" exhibits such a
behavior.
Thanks to Marc Rios Valles for the bug report
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
pcsc-lite-1.5.2:
- SCardGetStatusChange(): return if the state of the reader changed
since the previous call. Thanks to Thomas Harning for the patch
- SCardCancel() no works as expected. It got broken in version 1.5.0.
Closes: [#311342] SCardCancel does not cancel an outstanding
SCardGetStatusChange
- log TxBuffer and RxBuffer if the SCardControl() command failed.
Closes: [#311376] PCSC_LOG_VERBOSE via -dd; print details of "Card not
transacted"
- add a mutex to avoid a race condition
Closes: [#311377] Race condition in SCardBeginTransaction
- SCardGetStatusChange() may not return if the reader was removed.
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
pcsc-lite-1.5.1:
- Extended APDU of more than 2048 bytes were corrupted. The problem was
introduced in version 1.3.3 (2 years ago) by making the code compile
with Sun Studio 11.
Thanks to Eric Mounier for the patch
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
pcsc-lite-1.5.0:
- correctly handle up to PCSCLITE_MAX_READERS_CONTEXTS readers (instead
of PCSCLITE_MAX_READERS_CONTEXTS-1)
- SCardGetStatusChange()
. now returns SCARD_E_TIMEOUT instead of SCARD_S_SUCCESS if dwTimeout
== 0 (conform to Windows XP)
. add support of reader name \\?PnP?\Notification to detect reader
insertion/removal (conform to Windows XP)
. if a reader disappear also set SCARD_STATE_UNAVAILABLE in
dwEventState (more conform to Windows XP)
- SCardStatus(): add support of SCARD_AUTOALLOCATE for pcchReaderLen and
pcbAtrLen
- SCardGetStatusChange() now uses asynchronous events instead of polling
- more and/or better Doxygen documentation
- SCardTransmit(): correctly pass the pioRecvPci parameter
- SCardConnect() and SCardReconnect(): correct a bug when two
applications were calling SCardConnect() or SCardReconnect() at the
exact same time
- pcscd logs the command name sent by the application (when in debug mode)
- some other minor improvements and bug corrections
very small form factor for communicating to smartcards and readers.
The PC/SC Lite library is used to connect to the PC/SC daemon from a
client application and provide access to the desired reader.
