* Fixed up help screen to reflect added options
* Added -u option and User directive to configuration file
* Massaged help output to keep it under 24 lines
(one typical screenful).
* Removed some unused code.
* Options override all configuration file settings
* In absence of configuration file settings or option settings,
defaults are used
* Added new global settings: Port, Bind, Wait, WaitTime, Debug
* Added more documentation to LCDd.conf
* Heavily commented options
* Fixed bug introduced into default_duration and -w (my fault)
* Defined configuration file string defaults (no processing yet)
* Added simple optimization to option processing
* Reformed some comments for easier readability
* Fixed bug that caused program not to drop root privs when
running on port under 1024
* Converted further to use syslog instead of printf
* 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
serial port side. Also fixed problems with ioperm on the parallel port
side.
Added --waittime option to the server to specify how long the server
should leave a screen up before changing to the next screen.
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.
longer allow the -Wp,-lang-c-c++-comments directive. Also cleaned
up getloadavg support that had problems on Solaris and RedHat 7.1.
Removed unused variables in a number of functions as a result of
warnings when compiled with --enable-debug config option.
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. :)
