Next tends to be a frequently used variable * use utimes preferably before utime * try to include _all_ termios functions. * more precise detection of available termios functions 970105 Added knowledge of Zip Tools Disk password to mzip. 972904 Went back to using ALLCFLAGS in Makefile for those people who want to override CFLAGS 972604 Added note about Alpha site to doc. 972304 Prefer termios.h on Ultrix 972204 Renamed missing_functions to missFuncs in order to accomodate operating systems with file name size limits. 972004 Autoextend size for images that are too small. Moved BSD dependant #ifdef's after the inclusion of sys/param.h, as it is there where BSD is defined (sigh!) 971904 Insist on the fact that mzip's -f flag only makes sense if given in addition to -e 971904 Corrected typo in doc. 971704 Removed read and write prototypes, they conflict on an Alpha! 971404 More HP/UX fixes. 971404 3.6 released 971404 Do not stat any files in /dev/ on BEOS.

Dos always seems to assume a cluster size of at least 8 sectors and 512 root directory entries. Sigh! 970902 FAT32 support, BeOS patches 970802 Added more debugging code to mpartition and minfo. Added "packed" attribute to the partition structure. Cleaned up argument handling. 970702 Fixed partition removal bug in mpartition.c 970602 Fixed streamcache allocation bug. Clearer error message when trying to access a non-existant partition. 970502 Added "packed" attribute to some fields of the vfat_subentry structure, in order to work around a bug in a gcc version for SunOS. Use getpass() for password prompting in mzip.c 970302 Various small bug fixes 970202 Fixed typoes in plain_io.c, mpartition.c and mtools.texi. Relaxed security in mpartition.c, so non-root users may print a partition, or perform any local changes to it. Mpartition now prints info to recreate partition. 970102 Add mpartition command to partition Zip, Jaz and other Scsi devices. Chose between on_exit or atexit using autoconf. 973001 Added minfo command to print disk geometry and other parameters. 972901 Replaced atexit by onexit. Atexit barfed on SunOs.

Made device locking optional. 972201 Added const qualifiers 972001 3.1 Released 971601 Added kludgy xcopy support 971101 Only skip sys_errlist declaration on NetBSD (some older platforms might need this) 971001 Upgraded to autoconf 2.12, fixed some Stallmanisms. Added device entry for LynxOs. 970701 Use gettimeofday before tzset (for BSD). 970701 Use correct location of signal.h.

Dugal (jpd@usl.edu)) 960312 Proper permissions for main directory. 960212 Renamed scripts/gz to scripts/tgz 960212 Added raw devices for Solaris, apparently more performant Test first for tzset in autoconfigure (Solaris) 960212 Segment fault due to change of buffer size fixed E-mail adress fixed 961711 Lots of portability fixes. 961210 Yet another typo fix for the partition table code. Oh Gawd, will this never stop? Fix for proper .mcwd pathname concatenations 960910 Backed out partition table "fix": the original code was right after all 962009 Corrected a few uninitialised variables 961809 Corrected doc about devices file. 961709 Added pointer to the doc to the README file 961309 Partition table parsing fixed 960708 Fujitsu DS/90 (UXP) support 962707 ISC device dispatcher cleanup in mtools.h fat_bits 12/16 toggle fix.

Yeah! 962006 More ED fixes. More parameter size fixed for 64bit. 960906 Beginning of ED and 5 1/4 HD XDF support (doesn't work yet for ED) 962805 Make vold and "raw" floppy drive accesible simultaneously on Solaris by calling one A: and the other B: Add missing mbadblock LINK in Makefile.in 962705 Inserted missing newline character 962505 Treat number of heads or sectors as chars. The BIOS wouldn't allow bigger numbers anyways, thus big numbers are probably due to errors. 962405 Pattern match fix. Geometry setting for HP/UX 962205 Changed auto array in codepage to malloc'ed one in order to work around buggy compilers OSF ALPHA devices Pointers to other doc in the INSTALL file 961605 Do no longer be confused by deleted VSE's Define MAXPATHLEN for SCO Missing lockf prototype for SCO 961405 Handle DEBUG flag by autoconf Added Host vendor to compile flags in order to handle Sinix Better Sinix handling in devices.c Only print duplicate VSE messages when running with DEBUG Fix mlabel exit code Read-only locking Doc fixes Xcopy fixes for Sysv 961205 3.0 released. 960805 pre4-3.0. Lots of bug fixes. Texinfo file 960205 pre-3.0 960105 use autoconf to get rid once and for all of those pesky OS dependencies. 962904 use sys/termio instead of sys/termios to please AIX 962704 more spelling fixes. 962604 Speling fixes 962404 Mmount arg parsing bug fix 962204 New partition configuration variable. 961904 Spelling fixes, removed warning in README, IRIX floppy devices 961402 More Alpha streamlining 961302 Alpha patches (64 bit clean-ness) AIX patches (built in drive names) Raw tty patches (no need to type return when confirming an action 963101 Solaris patches Replaced include strings.h by string.h everywhere where applicable Changed thousands separator in mdir from a dot to a space to please both Americans and Europeans. Fixed memory allocation bug if no "constant device" is present. #defined strtoul to atol for SunOS 962101 Minor cleanup, released 2.5.4 950512 Added "magic" header to manpages to have man run them through tbl 950912 MTOOLS_LOWER_CASE is back, various small bug fixes over Tuesday's changes 950512 Bus strike in Grenoble! Well, let's do something useful and re-arrange the configuration file syntax :-) The syntax has become much more flexible now, and also includes items which used to be only accessible via environmental variables. Moreover, it is now possible to include character translation tables in line. 952611 Fixed another Atari disk bug: Atari disks sport a bogus "number of hidden sectors" 952511 Fixed missing zero-terminator in autorenamed long names MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK now implies MTOOLS_FAT_COMPATIBILITY. 952411 Fixed small quoted-printable-induced typo in the Makefile. Folks, please don't use quoted-printable. It sometimes changes the CONTENT of your messages. Even the MIME RFC's acknowledge this. Case in point: £400 gets transformed into =A3400, which looks like 3400 pounds to a person unaware of this MIME "feature". 952311 Mformat now puts a 12 bit FAT on ED to better match Messy DOS' behavior. 951511 Added ability to do mcopy e: to copy all files from the root directory of e: New Xdf-less Linux target in the Makefile Relaxed sanity check to let pass wonky Atari disks whose FAT begins with 3 zero bytes. Make the check of the initial fat bytes conditional on mtools_skip_check Corrected "testna=" bug Upped minimal sector size to be 256 (instead of 128). This helps 2m30 951211 2m30 compatibility Manpage update 2m checksum bug fix Ability to mformat 2m disks 950711 Xdf bug fix (dev parameters always set to Xdf, even if it wasn't really an Xdf disk) Fixed YAHB (yet another hash table bug :) ) . Hope this one's the last. Centralizing most env-var handling. Update of the mtools manpage. Xdf is now optional, and only active if MTOOLS_USE_XDF is set. Saves a few milliseconds of startup time on non Xdf disks. Some lawyer-proofing, just in case :) 950611 Fast xdf code (finally!) Minor performance enhancements here and there. Names which are all lower case now generate a long name entry (according to Steve Searle, that's how Win'95 behaves). 952910 Character translation table fixes. Other name fixes. 952610 Put restrictions on long names to better match Win'95. (suggested by Steve Searle) Reworked autorename code. Catch SIGHUP signal Added missing file close to main loop Changed name of the "ask for action" command line flag to 'm', and used 'a' for 'Autorename'. 952410 Removed infinite loop bug in hash.c, which occurred when the hash table was filled with deleted entries. 952310 added Atari ST-style serial numbers (they live in the banner) fixed a troff bug in mtools.1 Both changes were suggested by D. Hugh Redelmeier (hugh@mimosa.com) 951609 v2.5.3 released (after lots of fixes) 950409 v2.5.2 released 950409 mdir.c: initialized "files" and "blocks" to avoid complaint by GCC mattrib.c: initialized "code" to avoid complaint by GCC 950409 Based on comments by Paul Slootman : init.c: fs_init(): initialized disk_size to 0. The section which previously initialized this is ifdef'd out. Why? Makefile, device.c: Passed ETCDIR (e.g. /etc or /etc/defaults) Gee, the Makefile is pretty ugly! It might be good to start thinking about autoconfigure, or at least some cleanup. Makefile, mformat.c: use -DSOLARIS2, use srand48()/rand48() msdos.h, file.c, mdir.c: prefixed YEAR/MONTH/DAY/HOUR/MINUTE/ SEC with DOS_ to avoid conflicts with on SVR4 devices.c: use %i instead of %d to allow different bases parse.c: Changed comment for get_name()/get_path(); need to revisit this after deciding on default case behavior devices.c: load_devices(): fixed bad fprintf, line 748 parse.c, mformat.c, misc.c: replaced expressions like "if (islower(foo)) foo=toupper(foo)" with "foo=toupper(foo)" 952908 v2.5.1 released 952908 Based on comments by Martin Kraemer : Bug fixes for compile errors and core dumps under SINIX-D 5.41 (Siemens SVR4): plain_io.c mk_direntry.c vfat.h 952208 v2.5 released 952008 DCN Change null-fill for unused remainder of VSE to 0xff fill for both upper and lower character (just one null for termination) This seems to better match Win95's behavior; Win95 had been complaining about bogus characters file_name.c: unicode_write() 952008 DCN Commented out enforcement of VSEs being in order. Win95 likes to put them exactly backwards, so we'd better tolerate getting them any way they might come! Not sure what is lost by losing these checks, but it seems to be OK. directory.c: dir_read()
