HYLAFAX CHANGE INFORMATION
Note that this is a major new distribution and lots
of things have changed. Consult the general overview
for a high-level description of the new functionality provided in the
v4.0 software.
This document describes the changes made to the software between the
previous and current versions (see above).
If you don't find something listed here, then it was not done in this
timeframe, or it was not considered important enough to be mentioned.
The following information is located here:
CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:
- a bug that caused verifying the version of the configured TIFF software
to fail on certain systems was corrected
- the TIFFINC and LIBTIFF configuration parameters are
no longer read from the config.cache file
- the configured awk program must now support the function keyword
instead of the func keyword
CHANGES TO FAXQ:
- faxq now polls for the removal of UUCP lock files that are
unexpectedly encountered when a modem is assigned to an outbound
job; this corrects a problem for send-only environments where a
modem used by a non-HylaFAX command would be ``lost'' by faxq
- a bug was fixed for send-only environments that caused faxq
to stop scheduling jobs when a modem that is assigned to an outbound
job is discovered to be in-use
- modems that are discovered in-use by a faxgetty process are
now marked busy; this corrects a scheduling problem for servers
with multiple modems
- a bug was fixed in the Dispatcher that caused child processes
to be ``lost'' on AIX systems
CHANGES TO FAXSEND:
- the result string from an AT+FCLASS=? query is now more
carefully processed; only class values in the range 0-31 are used
CHANGES TO FAXQCLEAN:
- a bug was fixed that caused documents to be incorrectly removed as
unreferenced when the associated job was in the sendq directory
CHANGES IN MISCELLANEOUS STUFF:
- the faxaddmodem, faxsetup, xferstats,
recvstats, mkcover, notify.awk, and
faxcron scripts
were changed to use the function keyword when constructing
awk programs
- faxmail has a new configuration parameter/meta-header that can
be used to substitute strings in formatted mail
- typos in xferstats were corrected that broke sorting by certain keys
