+2005-07-03 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppstats.cpp: patch by Ivan that makes the PPP interface check
+ more portable. On the BSD IFF_RUNNING is already set right after
+ pppd starts - too early for our purposes. Avoids potential
+ authentication problems.
+
+2005-07-01 Harri Porten <[email protected]>

+
+ * connect.cpp: fixed another occurence of a i18n bug with the flow
+ control setting as reported by Brendon Higgins in #95502. Will surely
+ fix some connection problems.

+
+ * edit.cpp (DialWidget): increased max length of callback number
+
+2004-07-11 Harri Porten <[email protected]>

+ * general.cpp (ModemWidget): fixed name label of modem dialog
+
+2004-05-28 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * devices.h: added /dev/ttyS4 as requested by Christopher Martin for
+ PCI hardware modem in 2.6 kernels (#82345)

+ names didn't really work (#82345).
+
+2004-05-19 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modem.cpp: fixed flow control for non-English users. Bug found by
+ Elias Jahn (#73646).
+
+2004-05-14 Simone Gotti <[email protected]>
+ * Now kppp has the multiple modem profile features, so it finally
+ can manage a lot of modems and not only one!
+ It can use the old kppp config copying the [Modem] group to the
+ [Modem0] group if it doesn't already exists.
+ See Bugs: #52028
+
+2004-04-24 Harri Porten <[email protected]>

+ on NO CARRIER.
+
+ * provide automatic CBCP (Windows) callback support. Patch by Nick
+ Shafff.
+
+2004-04-12 Gerardo Puga <[email protected]>
+

+ connection status changes.
+
+2004-01-07 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modem.cpp: fix a bug in writing of modem commands. EAGAIN errors
+ were not handled. Thanks to Matteo Croce who helped tracking this

+2003-12-13 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * edit.cpp: disallow colons in connection name. breaks the loginfo
+ format
+
+2003-07-16 Harri Porten <[email protected]>

+
+2002-01-22 Per Winkvist <[email protected]>
+

+ * Set focus correctly to ID/PWD on startup if one of the fields
+ are empty.
+
+2002-01-01 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * don't ignore SIGHUP anymore. Forbidding Ctrl-Z is crazy.
+ * a bit more respect for Session Managment by adding handlers
+ for KApplication::saveYourSelf() and shutDown(). A user
+ had reported corrupted config data.
+ * made 'Log' a toggle button to represent debug window state
+
+2001-11-30 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: set focus to password field if it's missing on startup.

+
+ * applied patch for USB modems by Oliver Gantz <[email protected]>
+
+2001-11-23 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: finally implemented often requested feature:
+ multiple init strings. Only two for now but it's now easy
+ to increase (PPPData::NumInitStrings + GUI)
+
+2001-11-08 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+

+
+2001-04-08 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * option for turning off dial tone detection. Modem string

+ * Solaris fixes: added missing include, less restrictive compile check
+ * main.cpp: deactivated KNotify::beep() in pppd-died signal handler,
+ due to appearant race conditions when working remote
+ * ppplog.cpp: hardcoded list of syslog files, including my Debian one
+ * pppdata.cpp: i18n'ed name of account copy
+ * ...
+
+>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KDE 2.1.0 released <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+2001-01-05 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * Solaris patches by Keith Refson <[email protected]>
+ and Stephen Usher <[email protected]>. Still needs some
+ tweaking.
+ * logview/monthly.cpp: sensible sort order for each column. cleanup.
+
+>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KDE 2.0.1 released <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+
+2000-11-27 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * applied 7 bit fix from KDE 1.x for CompuServe users.
+
+2000-11-21 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modem.cpp: writeLine() fix from Wolfgang Grandegger. Hit USB modem
+ owners and probably more.
+
+>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KDE 2.0 released <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+1999-11-18 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: cleaned up signal handlers by posting a user defined
+ event to Qt's event loop. The real X stuff will be done in member
+ functions of KPPPWidget now.
+
+1999-11-16 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * docking.cpp: ported to make use of new KDockWidget
+
+1999-10-03 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * support automatic DNS detection if pppd >= 2.3.7.
+ * pppdata.cpp: fixed default account
+
+1999-10-02 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: determine pppd version. Will be needed to check
+ for support of new features
+
+1999-09-26 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp (ppp_available): Linux kernels >= 2.2.13 will have
+ a security hole fixed that breaks our check. Let's simply return true.
+
+1999-08-31 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * opener.cpp: unified PAP and CHAP code
+ * use KMessageBox::Yes enum
+
+1999-07-22 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: visualize \n as <LF> in setExpect()'s debug messages
+ * logviewer: rename `log' variable to `logList' to avoid clash with
+ mathematical function on some systems.
+ * logview/loginfo.cpp: added mystrsep() function as strsep()
+ replacement which is not POSIX compliant.
+
+1999-07-19 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppdata.cpp: fixed a cause of those "Timeout expired" errors: if
+ the user never set the speed of the serial port gpppdata would return
+ an empty string as speed(). The modem initialization code would
+ fall back to 57600 but no speed would be passed to pppd. Whatever
+ pppd does in this case (I haven't checked the sources yet) breaks the
+ negotiation process.
+
+1999-07-13 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * added "Mode 7bit" and "Mode 8bit" script commands for CompuServe
+ users. 7bit will simply strip off the highest bit to deal with the
+ incoming 7E1 data. Write operations are not affected.
+ * modem.cpp: try a tcsendbreak() if tcgetattr() fails. Ask for
+ feedback if that solved the "modem is busy" error for anyone.
+ * modem.cpp: read data in multiple chunks of up to 200 bytes. This
+ should speed up things and avoid problems with the socket notifier.
+
+1999-07-11 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: moved some code from readChar() into checkBuffers()
+ to clean up the setExpect() race condition fix.
+
+1999-07-07 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * kppp now finds the icons again
+
+1999-07-06 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modem.cpp: adhere to the lock file format described in the
+ Serial HOWTO (10 digits pid and a newline).
+ * connect.cpp: fixed race condition that might have lead to data not
+ being caught by "Expect" (found by Arch Harris <[email protected]>)
+
+1999-06-05 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppstats.cpp: dropping the ifr_name #define hack allows compilation
+ with --enable-final (saves 20 kB size)
+
+1999-05-30 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: skip setting the volume if command is empty
+ * switched from KWizard to QWizard
+ * adaption to new KConfig iterators
+ * partly switched to KStandardDirs
+
+1999-05-07 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: added public showStats() slot. Saved methods and p_kppp
+ pointers in DockWidget and ConWindow.
+
+1999-05-07 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * renamed shutDown to myShutDown to avoid name clash with KApp
+ * runtests.cpp: better error message for missing s-bit.
+
+1999-05-04 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * conwindow.cpp: fixed deleting of old geometry layout
+ * pppstats.cpp: bundled statistic in a module. Removed unused
+ get_ppp_cstats() and some variables. The modem animations are triggered
+ by signals from the PPPStats object.
+ * logview/main.cpp: had to replace QTabDialog with QTabWidget
+
+1999-04-25 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: test for `lock' in /etc/ppp/options is not needed any-
+ more, thanks to a hint from Paul Mackeras (pppd). Leaving away ttySx
+ (99/04/10) from the command line and binding stdin/stdout to the
+ device (99/01/12) stops pppd from trying to lock the device itself.
+
+1999-04-12 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * opener.cpp: introduced MY_ASSERT macro. We don't want to see our
+ security checks disabled by the NDEBUG flag.
+ * connect.cpp: fixed timeout errors that were caused by a re-enabled
+ socket notifier that took away data from pppd.
+ Thanks to Ian Gordon <[email protected]> for tracking down this bug.
+ * requester.cpp: setpppdRunning(false) _before_ killing the pppd.
+ * main.cpp: added flushX() before every command_execute()
+ * increased maximum modem string size
+ * connect.cpp: stop the main loop from skipping characters. Parsing
+ the connect speed should work now.
+
+1999-03-11 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modem.cpp: dropped ISTRIP option and made everything else "8-bit
+ clean" by using unsigned char and removing 0x7F AND'ing. Characters
+ like [������] will work now.
+ * modem.cpp: use usleep() replacement from kdecore/fakes.cpp
+
+1999-03-10 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * conwindow.cpp (ConWindow): initialize volinfo with "" do prevent
+ segfault. Strange.
+ * more porting to Qt 2.0 (layout and QString)
+
+1999-03-05 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * geometry layout: got rid of some freeze() and setMinimum*() calls.
+ Qt 2.0 seems to make life a bit easier. A lot of work left.
+
+1999-03-03 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * kdelibs have been switched to Qt 2.0. Replaced a lot of const char *
+ with QString (or QString&) and removed ~100 .data() calls.
+
+1999-02-16 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * providerdb.cpp: don't segfault if database can't be located
+
+1999-02-15 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * the phonenumber widget had a german "Abbrechen" button instead
+ of a "Cancel" button
+
+ * new Script command "SendNoEcho". Usefull for sending passwords,
+ the command works like "Send", but the actual content is shown
+ as "*" in the status line.
+
+ * added a DialPrefix to the provider dialog; kppp now handles the
+ DialPrefix value for every connection, defaults to ""
+
+ * if a script argument contains %PASSWORD% or %USERNAME%, it is
+ replaced by the corresponding value
+
+ * fixed a bug in ChangeLog (don't laugh, that happens). I
+ commited all the changes above as Harri Porten :-)
+
+1999-02-13 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * there�s no a provider database (just one entry for now) and a
+ wizard for this.
+
+1999-02-11 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: removed local header file if_ppp.h
+
+ * pppstats.cpp: cleaned up
+
+1999-02-10 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * the PPP interface name is now autodetected
+
+ * replaced the "Help" button with a questionmark. Makes the window
+ much smaller, especially in other languages than english
+
+ * the version number raised to 2.0pre4 (from 1.6.4). This version
+ is mainly the development version, whilest there is still a
+ "stable" 1.6.3 in the KDE 1.1 branch. Once KDE 2.0 is out (or
+ however it will named), the release will be 2.0
+
+1999-02-09 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a bug in the accounting module. The last character of the
+ logfile was overwritten each time a log file was
+ generated. Strange that nobody complained...
+
+ * reworked the layout of the AccountWidget
+
+ * removed some old, no longer needed variables from edit.h
+
+ * reworked the layout of the ModemWidget
+
+ * reworked the layout of the Modem2Widget. Now all Tab-Widgets are
+ reworked to use KGroupBox (which adds the title and takes part
+ of the size managment), which makes adding or deleting widgets
+ in the tab-dialogs much easier (especially for other people)
+
+ * if a user enters to domain name with a leading dot, this is
+ silently ignored now.
+
+1999-02-08 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * removed some doubled and obsolete code. Some simplifications.
+
+ * fixed "cannot find pppd" error message
+
+1999-02-08 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Changed the tabs "DNS" and "Gateway". Somehow, it feels more
+ natural this way.
+
+ * reworked the layout of the "DNS" widget
+
+ * pretty printed volume accounting. Using the terms KB, MB and GB
+ now when appropriate.
+
+ * Now it is possible to reset phone costs, volume accounting or both
+
+ * reworked the IPWidget, the GatewayWidget and the DialWidget
+
+1999-02-07 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * reworked the phone accounting selector widget, and reworked the
+ groupbox widget to adhere minimumSize() of the peer()
+
+ * reworked the layouting of the ScriptWidget and some usability
+ improvements
+
+ * removed the disturbing "Show log window" button. The log window
+ now remembers if it was shown or hidden last time. Now I�m
+ waiting for feedback, if everybody is happy I�ll remove it
+ completly.
+
+ * removed some #include from header files and moved them to the
+ cpp files. Thus compiling for developers will be somewhat faster
+ now, because of fewer dependencies
+
+1999-02-06 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * added a new tab "Execute" to the accounting dialog, including
+ an explanation how to use it.
+
+ * the pppd-arguments were modified (in the "Customize ppp
+ arguments" dialog if "Default" was pressed, no matter if "Cancel"
+ was pressed afterwards. Fixed.
+
+ * the phone number entry was removed and replaced by a listbox and
+ some buttons to allow easy selection of multiple phone numbers
+
+ * the label "Edit pppd arguments" and the button after are now
+ replaced with the button "Customize pppd arguments..."
+
+ * some small usability improvements
+
+ * a big, fat warning is now displayed when selecting the
+ "Auto-configure hostname" option.
+
+ * The log window is now hidden if we are connected. If a
+ connection is up and running, there�s no need for a debug
+ window
+
+ * The "/dev/cua*" devices are no longer available under Linux
+
+ * fixed a warning in requester.cpp
+
+ * pressing enter when on the "Connect" button now starts dialing
+
+1999-02-04 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: remove stale pidfile before creating new the
+ one. Otherwise creation with O_EXCL fails.
+ * runtests.cpp: removed securityTest(). $HOME check wasn't fully
+ functional and not needed anymore.
+ * runtests.cpp: re-enabled test for pppd's s-bit if eff. uid != 0.
+
+1999-02-03 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a bug in my testing code
+
+ * fixed broken Hungarian ruleset
+
+1999-02-02 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * the value of the environment var $HOME is no longer trusted,
+ kppp now uses getpwent() to find out the home directory.
+
+ * the pidfile is now created with O_EXCL
+
+ * added new portugal rules
+
+ * executable accounting rulesets are now disabled (will re-enable
+ after KDE 1.1)
+
+ * fixed a bug that caused the throughput graph display
+ unreasonable high numbers
+
+1999-01-31 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a security bug (stdout or stderr closed on program start)
+
+1999-01-28 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a bug in opener.cpp. recvmsg() was interrupted, and thus
+ the SUID part died.
+
+1999-01-28 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modem.cpp: use sigsetjmp() instead of just setjmp() to solve
+ freeze when modem is powered off (bug#267)
+
+1999-01-27 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppstats.cpp: removed debug output
+ * opener.cpp: delay closing the tty fd. Otherwise the ioctl() in
+ execpppd() can't succeed.
+ * opener.cpp: ignore TERM and INT signals. This is probably the
+ best until a safe clean-up & terminate routine is written.
+ * connect.cpp: added a removedns() call to cancelbutton().
+
+1999-01-25 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * updated and regenerated documentation
+
+1999-01-23 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: config data wasn't saved on immediate exit.
+
+1999-01-22 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * moved pppd call to the server process. It should be safer and
+ much more comfortable that pppd doesn't need to be installed SUID
+ root anymore. If I don't get any negative feedback I'll remove
+ some doubled code later.
+
+1999-01-17 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modeminfo.cpp: ATI1 was left out. Wait 0.1 secs to process the ATE0.
+
+1999-01-14 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Most windows should now have the mini-icon
+ * the lineedit for the modem timeout was too narrow to see at
+ least 2 characters. Fixed it, now shows at least 4 chars
+ * double-clicking an account in the account-listbox now opens
+ the account for editing, as expected
+ * for some weird reason, the lineedit showing costs and volume
+ were both editable, thus letting users think they can edit
+ it. Fixed that.
+
+1999-01-12 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: become the session leader and let ttySx be the
+ controlling terminal before launching pppd. This might solve
+ timeout problems several people reported, ie. when kppp was
+ started from kpanel instead of a terminal window.
+ * main.cpp: the kppp.sh workaround for make_directories() isn't
+ needed anymore and confused a few people.
+ * requester.cpp: convert cmsglen to size_t to make the compiler happy.
+ * modem.cpp: fixed usleep() replacement in case #ifndef HAVE_USLEEP
+ * connect.cpp: saving of old_hostname was broken
+
+1999-01-10 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * complete rework of the accounting system. The old implementation
+ did only allow one type of accounting (=via rulefiles). The new
+ will allow executable rulefiles too.
+
+1999-01-06 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * added new hungarian rules
+ * the title of the main window was "kppp.bin". Fixed this.
+ * the combobox for selecting the account to dial in was
+ editable for some strange reason. Fixed.
+ * modified the testing stuff (-T now)
+
+1999-01-04 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * began to add a modem database. See README.ModemDB for
+ details. The modem DB will not make it into KDE 1.1 (sorry)
+
+1999-01-05 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * opener.cpp: set O_NOCTTY flag when opening the modem device to
+ hinder the server process from being assigned a controlling terminal
+ (and 'stealing' it from pppd ?)
+ * pppdata.h: renamed "LockFile" key to "UseLockFile" to prevent a
+ clash with kppprc's from KDE 1.0. (reported by Seth Rothberg
+ * umask(0) in suid child to avoid permission conflicts with lock file.
+ * connect.cpp,opener.*,requester.*: moved call to sethostname()
+ into Opener. Bug discovered by Matthew Ando <[email protected]>
+
+
+1999-01-04 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Updated Hungarian rules
+ * removed all Qt calls from log to make it safe to use in
+ opener.cpp
+ * replace Debug() calls in opener.cpp with the function
+ provided by log.cpp
+ * clarified comments in opener.cpp
+ * replaced the button "Ok" with a "Exit" button when another
+ instance of kppp was found. This clarifies the action when
+ pressing the button.
+ * added a .kdelnk file for the log-viewer
+
+1998-12-28 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * opener.cpp: netinet/in.h is needed on FreeBSD
+ * reverse order of dropping suid rights (first setgid, then
+ setuid) to avoid an EPERM error (doesn't make a difference on Linux)
+ * requester/opener: removed transmission of filename. I discovered
+ problems with the variable string length and it wasn't used
+ anyway.
+
+1998-12-27 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * moved gpppdata.setpppdError(0) to end of dieppp()
+ * the "Don�t show this hint again" option is now immediatly saved
+
+1998-12-26 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * gpppdata.pppdError() was never reset, causing a bunch of error
+ windows to appear. Should be fixed.
+ * cosmetic changes in various files for better readability
+
+1998-12-25 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * kpppconfig.h: include <sys/param.h> to get the BSD define.
+ #include <config.h> was missing too. This prevented several #ifdefs
+ from doing the right thing.
+
+1998-12-24 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: relaxed my previously enforced suid check for pppd
+
+1998-12-23 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp, opener.cpp: fixed FreeBSD compile problem reported by Hans
+ Petter Bieker
+
+1998-12-22 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppdata.cpp: Give users upgrading from KDE 1.0 instructions how
+ to modify their kppprc if it is owned by root (KConfig bug back then).
+
+1998-12-21 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * opener.cpp: using umask now instead of chmod (more safe)
+ * opener.cpp: regfree was called too late. Fixed.
+ * re-enable scripts when using CHAP or PAP
+ * cosmetic changes in the "Accounts" widget
+
+1998-12-21 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * opener.h: define system dependend type cast for struct iovec's
+ iov_base. FreeBSD needs (char *) instead (void *).
+
+1998-12-20 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * added Germany Mannesmann Arcor ruleset
+
+1998-12-20 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * docking.cpp: call KWM::activate() on connection window after
+ being re-opened from docking icon (recommended by Matthias on
+ kde-devel)
+ * ppplog.cpp: re-introduced reading messages with fgets() instead
+ of single chars. Should be faster.
+ * ppplog.cpp: worked on diagnostic messages
+
+1998-12-18 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * #include "auth.h" was needed after pap.h was removed
+ * opener.h: workaround for glibc bug in RedHat 5.0. Since there is
+ presumably no way to detect the exact release version we'll simply
+ define SCM_RIGHTS to be 1 for every glibc2.0 on Linux. This should
+ solve the conflict with the kernel.
+
+1998-12-18 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * removed pap.* and chap.* files and moved their code in
+ requester.cpp where all setuid root stuff is gathered now.
+ * requester.cpp: rewrote PAP/CHAP so that the setuid part is free
+ of any Qt/X calls.
+
+1998-12-16 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * added Indonesia rule files
+ * added some new Denmark rule files
+ * added a patch from Filip Larsen <[email protected]> to allow a
+ rule to be dependent on connection time. See Rules/TEMPLATE for
+ an example. This will allow much better danish rulesets
+
+1998-12-14 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: fixed test for pppd's suid bit
+ * requester.cpp: initialize struct control (may be necessary for
+ some kernel versions)
+ * runtests.cpp: use Requester to check write access to modem (PPP Test)
+
+1998-12-13 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * use hardcoded lock file path (kpppconfig.h)
+ * tighten interface between Requester/Opener by transmitting
+ device index instead of device path
+ * do a fchown(fd, 0, 0) on lock file
+
+1998-12-08 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * added Denmark rules
+ * added Luxembourg rules
+ * commented out the no-longer need CHAP_* functions
+ * removed the old/never used setup program
+ * cleaned up accounting (set umask, no chown/chmod)
+ * cleaned up PPP log (set umask, no SUID check)
+
+1998-12-05 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: killpppd() and stop if_timeout_timer in cancelbutton()
+ * main.cpp: ignore SIGCHLDs in shutDown()
+ * main.cpp: interface timeout error wasn't displayed anymore
+ * modem.cpp: check for possible existance of stale lockfile before
+ trying it to open via Requester::rq->openLockFile(). The resulting
+ error message on failure was too confusing.
+ * main.cpp: ignore SIGHUPs in child process
+
+1998-12-04 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * requester.cpp: disable alarm() for now, silence some debug messages
+
+1998-12-01 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: notify user about death of helper process and abort
+
+1998-11-28 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: restored accidentally deleted line (setPassword())
+ * connect.cpp: suppress warnings from QStrList
+
+1998-11-26 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * included errno.h in opener.cpp and modified CMSG_DATA()'s
+ argument (as suggested by Andreas Pour).
+ * had to revert to SOCK_DGRAM since I keep getting failed
+ assertions. Using a stream seems to require some attention in
+ terms of ensuring that the correct length is received.
+
+1998-11-26 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * added missing rules for Switzerland, and added kppp.sh
+ * replace SOCK_DGRAM by SOCK_STREAM, and hope that it works
+
+1998-11-26 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * requester.cpp: made the ifdef's for cmsg_data more portable
+ * requester.cpp, opener.cpp: include sys/uio.h to define struct
+ iovec. As far as I can see this should work for systems with and
+ without glibc. If it doesn't, please mail me directly.
+
+1998-11-25 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a lot of rulefiles. Pentecost Monday is NOT easter+60,
+ but easter+50. My TEMPLATE file contained this bug,
+ and unfortunatly a lot of people copied it.
+ * improved and new Switzerland rulefiles
+
+1998-11-24 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: store pid of setuid child in PPPData object
+ * define KERNEL_VERSION()
+
+1998-11-24 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed opener.cpp for Linux >= 2.1.0
+ * removed PAP_UsePAP(), no longer needed
+
+1998-11-23 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * requester.cpp: removed ancient #include "requester.moc"
+
+1998-11-22 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: fixed freeze on disconnect by using waitpid(...,
+ WNOHANG) instead of wait()
+ * main.cpp: forgot to convert gpppdata.password to char*
+ * opener.cpp: close file descriptors after being sent. Left out
+ dup() call. Did it serve any special purpose ?
+ * opener.h: increased allow size for username and passwords
+ * modem.cpp: included config.h for HAVE_USLEEP
+ (thanks to [email protected] (hpj) for reporting this)
+ * PAP/CHAP: fixed typo and return value
+
+1998-11-20 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * First draft of a client&server archicture consisting of setuid
+ child process that will serve requests for file manipulation from
+ the parent. The parent is doing all the GUI operations is running
+ with normal user privileges. Assuming the approx. 300 lines still
+ running setuid root will be intensively reviewed this should
+ result in a kppp far less vulnerable to security exploits.
+ * added requester.* and opener.*
+ * TODO: - handle signals (SIGCHLD, SIGPIPE?)
+ - get ppp_available() running (presumably broken now)
+ - speed up reading the syslog (reading single chars now)
+
+1998-11-17 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * another security hole fixed: the function make_directories() is
+ no longer used, instead of a shell script make those directores.
+ Since shell scripts do not run suid, this should be safe
+ * fixed a bug in the main.cpp, at the calls to setPAPSecret() and
+ setCHAPSecret().
+ * fixed (void*)new Opener(...) to (void)new Opener(...)
+
+1998-11-17 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Security fix: fixed possible buffer overflow in findFileInPath()
+ * Security fixes: re-checked all char[] on stack to be suid-safe
+ If it is considere to be safe, a comment was added to the end of
+ line
+
+1998-11-17 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * removed another "extern" by making Accounting::getCosts(...) static
+
+1998-11-17 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * further improvements in ppp-log wizard
+ * runtests.cpp: test for Qt >= 1.40 before include header files
+
+1998-11-11 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: allow a little delay after sending the volume
+ string. Prevents it from getting eaten by the next command.
+ Thanks to Craig Goodrich <[email protected]> for providing the patch.
+
+1998-11-11 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: added header file to solve compilation problems
+
+1998-11-04 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * got rid of two global variables
+
+1998-11-04 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * kppp now checks itself if the kernel supports PPP (Linux only
+ for now. If anyone wants this for another system - implement it!)
+ * before dialing out, the check for PPP support is repeated, if
+ the kernel module was unloaded between running the tests and the
+ actual dialing, it will reloaded again
+
+1998-11-01 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modemcmds.cpp: added a wait&CR&wait sequence before sending the
+ init string. This seems to be necessary to avoid locking some modems.
+
+1998-10-29 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: fixed search&replace typo
+
+1998-10-26 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * incorporated new Netherland rules (NetPoint)
+
+1998-10-25 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * added updated rules for Spain
+
+1998-10-06 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * repaired Makefile.am and reverted Hans Petter Bieker's changes
+ to something more usefull.
+ * added SecurityWidget, but currently there's not much use for
+ this widget. Later on, it will allow root to specify who may use
+ kppp and pppd.
+ * removed the global variable miniIcon
+ * removed the global variable dock_widget, replaced with a static
+ class variable
+ * added lockdevice() and unlockdevice() to the class modem. This
+ will finally allow us to have a modem class which handles the
+ device locking itself (yeah...)
+ * removed the global var "modem", now a static member of the class
+ "Modem"
+ * modem.cpp: removed some global vars
+
+1998-10-14 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppdata.cpp: don't care about CD line by default. We'll receive
+ too many "bug reports" otherwise.
+
+1998-10-13 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * ppplog.cpp: offer some advice based on keywords found in the log
+ (very primitive so far, but may be extended later)
+
+1998-10-09 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modem.cpp: additional data flushes
+ * pppdata.cpp: don't need workaround for '$' with recent kde libraries
+
+1998-10-05 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * better QuickHelp text, proof-read by a native english
+ speaker. Thanks a lot to Martin A. Brown for doing this!
+
+1998-10-04 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * miniterm.cpp: fixed toolbar
+
+1998-10-03 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modem.cpp: disentangled Modem class from other Widgets, i.e.
+ removed the Multiple Inheritance I introduced earlier.
+ Drawback: another global pointer :(
+ * main.cpp: since KConfig neglects the real user id when creating
+ config files we have to give kppprc back to the user ourself.
+ * connect.cpp: pass something more useful to parseModemSpeed()
+ * removed lots of unused/redundant code and variables
+
+1998-10-02 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed that stupid segfault combined with the throughput graph
+ * "make" did not set the suid bit anymore. Why? However, I fixed
+ that
+
+1998-09-29 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a bug in the graphing code
+ * runtests.cpp: fixed typos
+
+1998-09-28 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * ppplog.cpp: reduce memory consumption, small fixes
+ * pppdata.cpp: fixed segfaults caused by non-readable kppprc
+
+1998-09-28 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: bail out if some evil-doer has manipulated $HOME
+
+1998-09-26 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * cosmetic changes in ppplog.cpp
+
+1998-09-24 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Ownership of PPP logfiles corrected to the real, not the
+ effective user id
+
+1998-09-23 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * ppplog.cpp: skip remote message if empty
+ * ppplog.cpp: fixed segfault triggered by virgin log files
+
+1998-09-21 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * introducing quickhelp
+ * forgot to add i18n to quickhelp entries, fixed this
+
+1998-09-20 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * PPP-arguments dialog reworked
+
+1998-09-19 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * more QuickHelp
+ * began to clean up layout management, it's a mess
+ * added setup widget for the throughput graph
+ * some code cleanups
+
+1998-09-16 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Added some more QuickHelp
+ * The QLineEdit for fixed IP and netmask is not re-initialized
+ with "0.0.0.0" whenever you select "dynamic IP"
+ * the scripting widget is disabled if authentication PAP or CHAP
+ is selected
+
+1998-09-15 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * replaced strings that span several lines with multiple
+ strings, it seems that this was a GCC-only feature
+
+1998-09-11 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * more code cleanups
+ * fixed a bug in log.h (semicolon after a macro definition --
+ brrr)
+ * added quickhelp to many setup dialogs
+
+1998-09-05 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppdata.cpp: fixed warnings
+ * replaced readListConfig calls with calls to readWholeListConfig
+ * and removed 'Whole' from function names afterwards
+ * connect.cpp: sped up scripting loop by reducing calls to gpppdata
+
+1998-08-29 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * In ConnectWidget::readtty(): after a newline or CR is received,
+ the QSocketnotifier is disabled for 20ms to avoid reading too
+ much, e.g. the start characters of the ppp protocol.
+ * added compile option "NO_GRAPH" to disable the graph
+ * removed the compile options "COMPILE_PIX" in pppstatsdlg.cpp,
+ this is no longer needed or supported
+
+1998-08-27 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * ppplog.cpp: use short named header file to keep Qt 1.33 users happy
+
+1998-08-25 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * removed all QTimers for reading tty output, a QSocketNotifier is
+ now used. Much better response time now, lower CPU usage!
+ * "prompt" was deleted in the ConnectWidget destructor. Removed
+ that
+ * added telephone rule for Malaysia
+
+1998-08-24 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: re-enabled closeEvent()
+ * pppdata.cpp: dumped writeListConfig(). Will do the same with
+ readListConfig() too ... next week.
+
+1998-08-22 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * some KDE style guide conformant changes
+ * some code cleanups
+ * removed -lkfile and -lkfm from Makefile.am
+ * added debug switch to pppd command line when debugging
+ is turned on
+ * Improved the response time for modem output. Modem output is
+ polled in longer intervals, if data is pending the polling time
+ is shortened, otherwise the polling time is set back to it�s
+ original, rather high value
+ * re-worked the "About" widget. It was time to save poor old Bernd
+ from receiving bug-reports.
+ * miniterm.cpp: code cleanups
+ * improved responseness of MiniTerm, reduced CPU load
+ * MiniTerm adheres to KDE Standards now (Help-Menu, ...)
+ * The ATI query was broken. Fixed.
+ * Improved the ATI query result window
+ * modeminfo.cpp: code cleanups
+ * main.cpp: code cleanup, banner updated
+ * repaired the german "Tele-2" ruleset (was broken due to invalid
+ characters)
+ * added improved ruleset for Italy (thanks to Michele Manzato for
+ supplying this ruleset)
+ * fixed a few typos in the TEMPLATE
+ * prepared a replacement for the debug-window
+ * connwindow.cpp: code cleanups
+ * began to remove the code dependencies between main.cpp
+ (KPPPWidget) and the setup GUI components. This will help
+ to separate the dialer and the setup later
+ * general.cpp: code cleanups
+ * accounts.cpp: removed as many references to p_kppp as possible,
+ using signal/slots instead of. There�s only on occurence of p_kppp
+ left
+ * general.cpp: removed the mysterious function itoa (nowhere used)
+ * various files: a lot of code cleanups, removed many references
+ to extern variables, reduced the amount of functions called from
+ p_kppp directly (done with signal/slots now)
+ * Added a new parser for modem speeds. The results are much better
+ now, especially for the new K56flex/X2/V.90 modems (where
+ different speeds are used for RX/TX)
+ * removed tons of "#ifdef MY_DEBUG" and replaced them with
+ functions "Debug", which is provided in log.cpp and is a
+ "printf()" like function
+ * added modem volume selector to the setup.
+
+1998-08-21 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * use SIGINT instead of SIGHUP to end a connection
+ * implemented command line option 'kppp -k' that will
+ terminate a connection
+
+1998-08-21 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Added a graphical display of the current modem line
+ throughput.
+ * Added an assistent for those "ppp has died" messages
+ * Evaluating remote system messages now
+
+1998-08-19 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * added function to create a ppp - log
+ * connect speed improvements
+
+1998-08-18 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed security leak in execute_command(): drop setgid root and
+ close file descriptors
+
+1998-08-17 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a bug in runtest.cpp that caused a segfault (fclose()
+ called twice)
+
+1998-08-17 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: added SIGHUP handler that will cleanly disconnect an
+ existing connection.
+
+1998-08-09 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * miniterm.cpp: switched to QMenuBar, fixed memory leak
+
+1998-08-08 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modem.cpp: fixed hangup that occured if the modem power was off.
+ hangup() aborts after 2 seconds if it doesn't suceed.
+
+1998-08-06 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: scan up to 100 lines when searching for the
+ unwanted 'lock' in /etc/ppp/options and recognize the '#' sign
+ to avoid a false alarm
+
+1998-08-04 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed replacement for systems without a BSD 4.2 style usleep()
+ * modem.cpp: continued to move modem related stuff to modem.cpp.
+ The new Modem class is inherited by the Connect-, MiniTerm- and
+ ATI-Query Widget for now. This should be way easier to maintain and
+ will reduce the binary's size.
+ * modeminfo.cpp: cleaned up
+
+1998-08-02 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * opentty(): fixed XON/XOFF flow control
+ * closetty(): flush data not read or transmitted
+ * main.cpp: enforce killpppd()
+ * modem.cpp: moved lockdevice(), unlockdevice() and modemspeed()
+ into this newly created file. opentty(), closetty() and hangup()
+ should follow soon to let them be shared between widgets.
+
+1998-07-30 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: take the burden of specifying the modem lock file
+ from the user. Just entering the directory should be easier and
+ safer. Presets for different systems can be found in kpppconfig.h
+
+1998-07-29 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * macros.h: replaced remaining MAX with QMAX
+ * main.cpp: followed recommendation of the Unix Programming FAQ to
+ use _exit() instead of exit() in child processes
+
+1998-07-25 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: rewrote check for stale lock files. After dropping
+ the use of /proc it should work on other platforms now, too.
+
+1998-07-19 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * merged killppp() and terminatepppd() in killpppd()
+ * main.cpp: added execute_command() to launch external programms
+ * added "Command Before Disconnect" for people who have to clean
+ up before they leave the net
+
+1998-07-11 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: replaced ~/.kde with kdelocaldir()
+ * connect.cpp: hardcoded �-detach� as pppd argument
+
+>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KDE 1.0 released <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+
+1998-06-21 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * general.cpp (GeneralWidget): modified checkbox-size to avoid
+ warnings from QGManager
+
+1998-06-18 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * edit.cpp (ScriptWidget): deactivated "Use default script"-option
+ as long as someone comes up with a default script
+
+1998-06-02 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * replaced klocale->translate() with i18n() and every reference to
+ XPPP with KPPP
+ * utilize �kapp� (defined in kapp.h) instead of the global �extern
+ KApplication *app�
+ (Sorry about the large amount of changes, but I couldn�t resist to
+ clean up the code)
+
+1998-06-02 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppdata.cpp: removed workaround, since KConfig fix is in place now
+
+Mon Jun 1 16:13:06 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * kppp did�nt like "$" in modem strings, fixed that
+
+Sun May 24 23:39:42 1998 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * Applied FreeBSD patch for the modem devices
+ Affected File:general.cpp pppdata.cpp
+ Look for __FreeBSD__
+
+Mon May 18 19:51:56 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * introduced a separate log-viewer "kppplogview"
+ * removed the no-more needed entry widget for the log-viewer
+ * removed test code checking for log viewer
+
+1998-05-15 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppdata.cpp: temporary workaround for KConfig bug concerning
+ lists without a trailing separator
+
+Fri May 15 22:27:02 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+ * removed the writeline("") once again, it does not work
+
+1998-05-12 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * added support for multiple telephone numbers (separated by ':')
+ Patch contributed by Sebastian Rittau <[email protected]>
+
+Tue May 12 18:55:02 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * the format of the accounting logfile has changed to allow
+ easier parsing from external files:
+
+ the format is:
+ CONNECT_TIME_FROM:CONNECTION_PEER:CURRENCY_SYMBOL: \
+ CONNECT_TIME_UNTIL:SUBTOTAL:TOTAL:BYTES_IN_BYTES_OUT
+
+ there�s a small tcl script which converts the log files. Simply
+ use "tclsh convlog.tcl" will convert all log-files, but NOT
+ delete the old ones.
+
+Mon May 4 17:19:12 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Austrian rule files updated
+ * LSM updated
+ * line-limit for /etc/resolv.conf raised to 128
+ * fixed the hard-coded line-limit in removedns() to use
+ MAX_RESOLV_CONF instead (128)
+ * added writeLine("") in connect.cpp to make sure that the modem
+ is in ready state (waiting for AT*)
+ * support for internal ISDN cards on Linux via modem emulation
+ (/dev/ttyI*)
+
+1998-04-30 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: undid my stupid PAP/CHAP changes from yesterday
+
+1998-04-29 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: prevented segfault on invalid lockfiles
+ * runtests.cpp: /etc/resolv.conf will be created if missing
+ * connect.cpp: fixed reversal of command line options for PAP/CHAP
+
+Tue Apr 28 20:57:04 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * added CHAP (client side only) authentication
+
+1998-04-27 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * general.cpp (GeneralWidget): command line option "quit after
+ end of connection" is availabe via GUI, too.
+ * hangup(): made another usleep() adjustable to prevent hanging
+ (thanks to A.D.Y. Cheng <[email protected]> for pointing that out)
+
+Fri Apr 24 18:57:46 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * general.cpp (GeneralWidget): removed the entry field for
+ the path to the pppd binary
+
+Fri Apr 24 13:03:02 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: kppp now does not allow anymore the user
+ to specify a path to the pppd binary, but searches for
+ it
+ * kppp now checks if pppd is owned by root
+ * kppp does not anymore drop suid before starting pppd
+
+Thu Apr 23 22:35:31 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Fixed a few security holes: kppp drops suid before executing pppd,
+ checks for buffer overflow with the -c command line switch,
+ drops suid before checking a file with -r
+
+Thu Apr 16 21:21:03 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: set portable locale settings for numerical values,
+ since the rulefiles will always have a point as decimal delimiter.
+
+1998-04-15 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: extended parseargs() to deal with quoted arguments
+ * fixed bug in 'Save' that made multiple use impossible.
+ * enclosed username and password with quotes to ensure proper
+ handling of whitespace characters
+ * pap.cpp: fixed regexp to recognize entries in pap-secrets with
+ usernames that are either quoted or preceeded by whitspace. Phew !
+ That should eliminate one source of these "pppd died" errors.
+
+Mon Apr 6 20:18:40 1998 <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a volume accounting bug
+ * volume accounting is now configureable (bytes in, out, in/out)
+ * added new feature (very usefull for sysadmins). If there�s a
+ file /etc/kppp.allow, only users from that file may use kppp to
+ dial out. Format is one entry per line, comments begin with "#",
+ users specified by their login names
+ * fixed a bug where the PAP authetication record was only removed
+ from /etc/ppp/pap-secrets if an external program is started on
+ login (stupid me :-)
+
+Wed Apr 1 21:09:05 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: small fixes for 'Scan'
+
+Tue Mar 31 18:54:13 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: corrected stripping of whitespace from 'scanvar'
+ * main scripting loop idles until 'Scan' is completed
+ * added new keyword 'Save' to store scanned strings
+ * cleaned up add_domain(), adddns(), removedns() by adding data()
+ calls where QString variables are passed as const char* parameters
+
+Mon Mar 30 22:02:07 1998 <[email protected]>
+
+ * added volume accounting (currently, only inbytes are counted,
+ but should be very easy to change). Unfortunatly, there�s no
+ method yet to reset the number of bytes, so you have to fiddle
+ around in kppprc.
+
+Wed Mar 18 21:47:20 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * runtests.cpp: added check for 'lock' option in /etc/ppp/options.
+ Hopefully, this check isn't too harsh and won't cause any false alarms.
+
+Wed Mar 18 01:13:50 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * modemcmds.cpp: replaced 'Modem Sustains Fast Init' (from general.cpp)
+ option by an adjustable 'Init Delay'. Some users reported that they
+ had to increase the delay time to prevent kppp from hanging
+ after ATZ.
+
+Mon Mar 16 03:37:04 1998 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * command line options need to be parse after creating a KApplications
+ due to some changes by Matthias in kapp I think.
+
+1998-03-15 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: added mini-icon for all kppp windows, not just
+ the main window
+
+Mon Mar 9 00:17:20 1998 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * added new script keyword 'scan', see the documentation.
+ It allows for password challenges etc.
+
+Tue Feb 24 19:19:44 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * pap.cpp, connect.cpp: removed the need for a "+ua" option
+ for PAP. Unfortunatly this REQUIRES that kppp can write
+ /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (either by running SUID root or
+ by group permissions)
+
+Fri Feb 13 01:12:19 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * loginterm.cpp: implemented the possibility to log in via
+ a simple terminal window. Should have developed a generic widget
+ that could have been shared by Miniterm, the debug window and
+ loginterm, but I didn't want to touch the rest of the stuff yet.
+ * kpppconfig.h: increased max. script size to 20
+
+Thu Feb 5 22:00:55 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * pppdata.cpp: added pppdError() and setpppdError()
+ * main.cpp: added new error message for timeout
+ * removed last remaining command_on_disconnect bug (see Jan 24)
+
+Sat Jan 31 19:56:03 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: in some cases kppp connected to an account
+ different from the one selected in the combo box. Added
+ setAccount() in connectbutton() to fix that, hopefully.
+
+Sun Jan 25 00:45:45 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * docking.cpp: included a hide() statement to cleanly undock
+ the widget from the panel. Otherwise the window stayed invisible
+ after one dock/undock-cycle.
+
+Sat Jan 24 03:40:44 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a bug (occuring twice) that caused the if-statement for
+ command_on_connect and command_on_disconnect to be always true.
+
+Fri Jan 23 01:32:57 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed alignment in conwindow.cpp's layout.
+
+Wed Jan 21 03:22:43 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * prevented the password from being left in kppprc after the
+ option 'Store password' has just been turned off
+
+ * the ID & password field will be disabled if no account has
+ been created yet
+
+ * pppdata.cpp: removed absolute path for default log viewer
+ to prevent warning messages upon first startup if KDE's location
+ differs from /usr/local/kde
+
+ * removed gpppdata.Id() and gpppdata.setId() since they have been
+ replaced by storedUsername() and setStoredUsername()
+
+Tue Jan 20 15:30:08 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Sigh. After unintentionally deleting my account for the sixth
+ time, I added a yesNo() dialog to confirm deleting an
+ account. This is VERY important, because if you click on "Show
+ log" and double-click onto a file to view it and you have the bad
+ luck that the filename is just over the "Delete" button, the
+ account will be gone.
+
+ * runtests.cpp: gpppdata is now saved after modifications in
+ runtests(), and the default log viewer is set correctly
+
+Tue Jan 20 03:10:35 1998 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * tried to get the docking window to display a tooltip with transfer
+ bytes statistics. Failed. Need to contact Matthias about it.
+
+ * Removed the 'Dock' button. It is superfluous. Use the window
+ close button to hide the window.
+
+ * fixed the flicker problem that was reintroduced in pppstatdlg.cpp
+
+ * fixed ( hopefully ) a hangup problem on busy redial caused
+ by the modem_in_connect_state varible in connect.cpp
+
+Mon Jan 19 17:51:16 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: the setup dialog is now created on demand. Since in
+ most cases we only dial out, creating the setup dialog is a waste
+ of CPU and memory. This reduces memory by approx 200KB.
+
+ * geometry managment added to PPP statistic window
+
+ * tried to minimize dependencies on "main.h" by removing unneeded
+ #includes
+
+ * removed homedir.(cpp|h). It can be easily replaced with
+ QDir::homeDirPath().
+
+ * before doing anything else, a few tests will be started to
+ ensure that i.e. the pppd binary is found...
+
+Mon Jan 19 12:05:00 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * set default for get_dock_into_panel() to false as safety
+ precaution
+
+ * introduced docking. It allows kppp to be run as a small
+ animated icon on the panel. Clicking on the icon with the left
+ mouse button restores the regular window. The right button
+ opens up a popup menu with other options.
+
+Mon Jan 19 04:46:39 1998 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * reset PHONENUMBER_SIZE to 60. People with phone cards need lots
+ space.
+
+Fri Jan 16 21:41:08 1998 Stephan Kulow <[email protected]>
+
+ * some improvements to the toplevel Makefile.am. rpath is very
+ important for setuid programs
+
+Fri Jan 16 19:04:35 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Improved Makefiles. Now documentation and rulesets are correctly
+ uninstalled with "make uninstall"
+
+ * Toplevel Makefile.am improved. Subdir traversal is only done for
+ installing, not for compiling
+
+ * fixed that "segfault-on-rulecheck" bug introduced by coolo's
+ modifications for locale support.
+
+ * RuleSet::checkRuleFile() now returns 0 on success, otherwise
+ 1. kppp uses this as exit value.
+
+ * fixed a bug in the swiss rulesets
+
+ * added file "checkrules" in Rules. It autochecks all rules found
+ and reports bad rulesets.
+
+Thu Jan 15 20:31:14 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Ported kppp to use automake.
+
+ * Since the rulefiles now have separate subdirectories, I have
+ removed the prefix (i.e. Spain/Spain_Inovia.rst -->
+ Spain/Inovia.rst). Since the old files still exist it should be no
+ problem for users of former kppp versions.
+
+ * renamed config.h to kpppconfig.h because it conflicts with the
+ default include file config.h, generated from autoconf
+
+Wed Jan 14 12:12:29 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: pressing Enter in ID_Edit moves focus to PW_Edit, in
+ PW_Edit moves focus to the connect-button
+
+Wed Jan 14 04:13:57 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a bug that caused passwords to be spread among other accounts.
+ Triggering XPPPWidget::entryChanged() had a nasty side effect.
+
+Tue Jan 13 17:50:07 1998 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed a bug introduced with the creation of the 'execute command
+ on disconnect' option
+
+ * CD is by default off. It doesn't work on my internal modem
+ and I suspect it might not even work on most (all) internal modems ..
+
+Tue Jan 13 12:02:33 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+ * the PAP authentication file is now created in the users
+ homedirectory. Otherwise I'd have to create the directory
+ myself and fix the permissions if kppp runs suid root -
+ I'm too lazy for that.
+
+ * fixed a security bug in connect.cpp, a typical buffer
+ overflow. Very bad for setuid root programs
+
+Thu Jan 13 06:58:29 1998 Peter Silva <[email protected]>
+
+ * make new behaviour optional (in response to Bernd's worry
+ about cheap modems.)
+
+Thu Jan 13 06:58:29 1998 Peter Silva <[email protected]>
+
+ * patch to prevent kppp hang if modem is off when connecting.
+
+
+Tue Jan 13 02:48:55 1998 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * applied BSD patch from Alex <[email protected]>
+ (just a few missing includes)
+
+ * various fixes and geometry improvements
+
+ * added a linedit for a command to be executed on disconnect
+
+
+Mon Jan 12 17:18:41 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * username and password are now remembered between
+ session. Remembering the password can be switched off for each
+ account.
+
+ * connect.cpp: fixed 2 security bugs in lockfile(). Now it's
+ checked if the lockfile is a regular file and no more than
+ 32 characters are read from this file, no matter how long it is.
+
+ * Added PAP authentication option and code. Using PAP (at least
+ client-side-authentication should now be VERY easy. Sorry,
+ no CHAP support so far.
+
+ * edit.cpp: Added a checkbox if to use kppp's default script.
+ If this checkbox is checked, all scriptedit controls are disabled.
+
+Sun Jan 11 21:03:00 1998 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * lslisder in modemcmd.cpp wasn't set correctely on widget
+ creation.
+
+
+Thu Jan 11 14:58:29 1998 Peter Silva <[email protected]>
+ * (0.8.10) incorporate iconify_on_connect patch.
+
+
+Sat Jan 10 21:23:10 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: fixed a bug that cause kppp to go wild and display
+ hundreds of windows when it cannot load a ruleset file
+
+Wed Jan 7 13:00:24 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * edit.cpp: improved the IP and Gateway widgets
+
+ * various improvements for the geometry managements
+
+Tue Jan 6 12:56:14 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * main.cpp: the main kppp window has now layout control
+
+ * connect.cpp: layouted the connection window.
+
+ * modeminfo.cpp (ModemInfo): layoutet the modeminfo dialog
+ and layouted the ModemTransfer dialog (ATI query)
+
+Mon Jan 5 20:59:00 1998 Harri Porten <[email protected]>
+
+ * accounting.cpp: telephone costs are stored in kppprc now.
+ ~/.kde/share/apps/kppp/Costs is obsolete.
+ * pppdata.cpp: added totalCosts() and setTotalCosts().
+ Several small cosmetic changes.
+
+Mon Jan 5 14:25:37 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * docs/kppp.sgml: updated the docs for the new KDE file system
+ standard. Ispell'ed the docu.
+
+ * main.cpp: added the "-q" command line switch. This is very
+ usefull in combination with "-c". Instead of returning to
+ the kppp main window kppp will exit after disconnecting.
+
+ * Makefile.in: removed the external moc_*.cpp files and
+ included them directly with "#include". This saves
+ approx. 30 KB in the binary and greatly speeds up
+ compilation
+
+Mon Jan 5 13:59:20 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * Rules/TEMPLATE: fixed a typo: the extension of ruleset
+ files is ".rst", not ".rts"
+
+Mon Jan 5 13:42:28 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * general.cpp: replaced the KIntLineEdit class with the
+ class KIntegerLine from libkdeui. Replaced the progress
+ widget with that from libkdeui.
+
+Mon Jan 5 12:51:43 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+
+ * edit.cpp: now all major dialogs use Qt layout
+
+Mon Jan 5 04:55:58 1998 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed the while(*it) problem in pppdata.cpp it should be
+ while(it->current()).
+
+Sun Jan 4 13:54:12 1998 Mario Weilguni <[email protected]>
+ * modified the modemcommands dialog to use the layout
+ classes of Qt. Replaced the scrollbar with a slider,
+ because scrollbars are not the right widget to change
+ values.
+
+Thu Jan 2 00:25:03 1998 Peter Silva <[email protected]>
+ * added modem_in_connect_state, and checks for it
+ to avoid unneccessary delays on modem initialization.
+ delay of 2 seconds will still occur on hangup by default.
+ I think that's bearable.
+ * Added modem tricks section, gentle introduction.
+
+Thu Dec 25 11:46:34 1997 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * Added new script keywords: PwPrompt and ID
+ * Added ID and Password LineEdits on the main dialog window
+ * KConfig transition is now complete, one more time the data
+ storage format has changed. ( Hopefully the last time )
+
+ * All sorts of little cosmetic changes
+ * fixed up the mini-terminal a bit
+
+Sun Dec 22 23:00:03 1997 Peter Silva <[email protected]>
+
+ * To fix hangup problems:
+ * Added programmable guard time around escape sequence
+ * Separated escape sequence from hangup command
+
+Sun Dec 21 10:19:18 1997 Peter Silva <[email protected]>
+
+ * Changed maxloopnest to MAXLOOPNEST for portability reasons
+ (See developers guide, about const int)
+ * Set window titles when connected to account name.
+
+Fri Dec 19 22:49:18 1997 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * Extended the grammar of the tarif rules.
+ New keyword: flat_init_costs necessitated by the new french
+ accounting rules.
+
+Tue Dec 16 01:54:50 1997 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * extended scripting capabilities to allow password dialogs
+
+Sun Nov 2 14:02:31 1997 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * accounts.cpp: applied mario's patches to the rulessets. Now deals
+ with fractions too.
+ * accounts.cpp: fixed the bug that caused kppp to reset the costs
+ even if you chose cancel.
+ * docs/kppp.sgml: doc updates and corrections
+
+Fri Aug 15 21:25:05 1997 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * connect.cpp: leaving the lock file name edit blank will cause
+ kppp not to create lock files. That is this turn the use of lock files off
+
+ * added option to not disconnect on xserver exit/crash
+
+Sun Aug 10 19:07:07 1997 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * kppp will no automatically disconnect on X-server exit
+
+Sun Jul 20 17:26:58 1997 Bernd Johannes Wuebben <[email protected]>
+
+ * fixed bug in phone cost accounting
