Hi,
today is mgetty's 25th birthday... 0.1 was released exactly 25 years ago!
Unfortunately, even Google does not remember everything, so I could not
find the release announcement I posted to alt.sources back then - well,
actually, not a release announcement as such but "just the source tree,
packed with 'shar', split into 4 parts, and posted to usenet". Those
where the days :-) (groups.google.com has 0.14 and 0.16 when searching
for "alt.sources mgetty", though - September/October 1993)
The last mgetty+sendfax release was 1.1.37, nearly 8 years ago.
Since then, numerous small fixes have been added, a few small featurettes
left and right, but nothing dramatically - so, I've let myself be
convinced to call this "a stable release".
So, here it is:
mgetty+sendfax 1.2.0
ftp://mgetty.greenie.net/pub/mgetty/source/1.2/mgetty-1.2.0.tar.gz
ftp://mgetty.greenie.net/pub/mgetty/source/1.2/mgetty-1.2.0.tar.gz.asc
and, finally
git://gitlab.greenie.net/mgetty/
The list of new features in a bit more detail...
- Alex Manoussakis cid-program patch has been merged after 10+ years
- modernized much of the code to compile with little to no warnings on
recent operating systems (char vs. unsigned char, sizeof() vs. %d,
"static inline", etc.)
- limited socket support for sendfax, to be able to talk to "ser2net"
ttys on remote machines (like, one central fax queue, talking to a
bunch of DIVA ISDN cards in "satellite" systems, ser2net redirecting
network ports to /dev/ttyds* ttys)
- quite a few code fixes from Michal Sekletar <msek...@redhat.com>
(return value checks, wrong file descriptors used in error messages,
potential buffer overruns...)
- AIX tooling to run mgetty from SRC
- mgetty can now talk to GSM modems, receive incoming SMS messages
(compile with -DSMS) and execute external scripts to handle SMS
- complementing "atsms.c" for sending SMS - still a bit rough, but
used in production for 10 years now...
Have fun :-)
