up with more than 80 characters (20x4) in their display, and thus
overwrite memory outside of the allocated 80 characterwframebuffer.
For example, using a 20x6 screen would do this.
All drivers now either ignore a missing framebuffer, or allocate it
themselves - the latter is prefered.
(for type: 20x2, 20x4, 20x6) etc.
* Fixed bug that appeared when using a size larger than 80 characters
(20x4): framebuffer was allocated before size was known!
Drivers should NOT look for framebuffer to be allocated before they
start - but 80 characters are there anyway (for now).
* Now supports multiple input sources
* Further compartmentalized
* Added function to list drivers in nice format (for help screen)
* More bulletproofing
however, the Makefiles will need to be modified to support
linking against libvga and libvgagl, and support for the SVGALIB_DRV
define will have to be added to autoconf or whatever.
* Ability to specify port and address to bind to
* By default, binds only to 127.0.0.1 port 13666
* Client commands now return usage when no options given
* New driver command: getinfo
* Added comments all over the place
* Used #defines to further document code
* Used #defines to set up compile-time defaults, etc.
* Cleaned up client command argument analysis in client_functions.c
* Beginning support of syslog
* Some bug fixes
as argument introducers. in 0.4-pre10, these were changed
from foo to -foo and this broke many clients. This change
should fix that and be backward/forward compatible.
+ Added a noop function to the protocol. This is useful for writing
shell script clients of LCDproc.
+ Changed the shared sock_send_string function to NOT send the
ending NUL ('\0') byte with the string. This was confusing
in Perl clients which saw NUL's as the first character of
each reply. WARNING: The LCDPROC client depended on this
behavior, your client may too. Use the newline instead.
See the code in clients/lcdproc/main.c (look for "switch(buf[i])")
to see one way to handle this. This should allow new clients
to connect to old servers and vice-versa.
+ Messed with include structure in .c files. It should no longer
be necessary to specify ../.. to get to shared code headers.
Also, since we are using automake, the global config.h can be
found with just #include "config.h" as it's location is included
in a -I to the compilers. As a result "make distcheck" now works.
Fixed lots of small problems in various places.
Added new protocol commands screen_add/del_key so screens
can request keystrokes when they are being displayed.
Lots of work on CPU GRAPH and BIG NUMBER CLOCK screens.
Fixed 'output' function in MtxOrb.c
display. The patch applied cleanly, and compiled properly. At least,
"it worked for me." :) I don't have such a display, thus I cannot test that
the driver actually works, but it at least doesn't do nasty things or break
the compile. Thanks, Nathan!
process LCDd now compiles and runs properly on Solaris! Additionally, he
has provided a new driver for a 16x2 LCD made by an Australian company.
I've compiled and executed this new code on a Solaris 2.6 box, and while I
don't have the display the new driver uses, LCDd tries to use it anyway,
fails (since the device isn't installed), and continues running, so this
looks solid!
Passed *every* piece of source in this project through indent. I'm setting
things up with ctags soon and am actually going to *gasp* use a nice
programming environment to continue development in. :)
