Release 2.15.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ This is an important update, as changes to eBay's bid history page breaks version 2.14.0. For a complete list of changes, see: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=460865&group_id=45285 |

eBay has made a change to the bid history page that breaks esnipers parsing of this page. A new release of esniper should be available within the next few days to address this issue. If you need to use esniper before the next release, changing all instances of "User ID" to "Bidder" in auction.c should allow esniper to work. |

Release 2.14.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ This is an important update, as the changes made in version 2.13 cause a core dump in some circumstances. For a complete list of changes, see: https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=364534 |

Release 2.13.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ This is an important update, as the changes made in version 2.12 were insufficient to fix all of the login changes at eBay. For a complete list of changes, see: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=362031 |

Release 2.12.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ This is an important update, as eBay has made changes that cause previous versions of esniper to fail when logging in. For a complete list of changes, see: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=361283 |

Release 2.11.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: IMPORTANT FIX: Fix bid history parsing error, caused by eBay change. Previous versions of esniper cannot place bids. Fixed proxy handling. Removed lookup of http_proxy environment variable, since libcurl does it. Fixed myItems item number parsing, including for auctions with no image. Also added support for user notes. Enhanced bug reporting. Fix bug 1228701. Time left heading has a table cell between it and the cell containing the actual time left. handle bid history for purchases (i.e. store items and buy-it-now with no bidding). added -i option: print information on given auctions and exit. rewrote error handling in prebid and bid history. moved getopt into util.c to make compiling on windows easier. fixed handling of prebid result when auction has ended. |

eBay made a change to the bid history page that has broken esniper. But fear not, the fix is just a one line change. I'll try to get a new release out by this weekend. But in the meantime, bid manually, or pull the up-to-date source from CVS. If you are pulling from CVS, please be aware that the public CVS servers at sourceforge are synced a few times a day with the project CVS servers, so if you pull the source right now you won't have the fix. You can check <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/esniper/esniper/> -- if auction.c shows Rev 1.70, the public CVS servers have this bug fix. |

Release 2.10.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: IMPORTANT FIX: Fix bidding problem that sends esniper to PageReviewBid. Previous versions of esniper cannot place bids. Handle blank time left field in bid history. This happens in the last second of an auction. Rewrote bid history parsing to use table parsing code. This should resolve many little problems with bid history parsing, especially with dutch auctions. Recognize AcceptBid_HighBidder_rebid. Added -m option, reads myebay watch list. Removed us-ascii kludge that knocked off high bit on text. Don't expose password in log files. Use bid password (returned in preBid) instead of user password for bidding. |

As of today, esniper 2.9.0Beta no longer can place bids. eBay changed their bid URL again. A patch has been made and is currently being tested. Expect a new version tomorrow. |

esniper 2.9.0Beta is now available for testing. This release fixes one big problem (eBay changed their login screen today!) and a number of little problems in 2.9.0Alpha, and has a configure script to make building easier. No binaries are available at this time, to get this release you must download the source code and compile it on your system. To build esniper, you must have libcurl version 7.1.1 or newer installed (you can get it from <http://curl.haxx.se/>). The configure script will check to make sure you have an appropriate version of libcurl. |

To build esniper, you must have libcurl version 7.12 or newer installed (you can get it from <http://curl.haxx.se/>). If you already have libcurl installed on your system and don't know what version you have, try curl-config --version. Major thanks to esniper user bomm for getting the code this far along. |

Again, this time with a descriptive subject... Note: esniper is currently broken, due to eBay's switch to https logins. Work on a fix is in progress, and an update will be posted as soon as it is ready. Sorry for any inconvenience! |

Release 2.8.1 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: Added support for bid increments in the following currencies: Australian Dollar (AU) Euro (EUR) Canadian Dollar (C) Chinese Yuan (RMB) Swiss Franc (CHF) Taiwan Dollar (NT) British Pound (GBP) US Dollar (US) The following currencies are not yet supported, because I can't find information on bid increments. If anybody has information on these currencies, please contact me <es...@us...>: Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) Singapore Dollar (SGD) |

Release 2.8.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: IMPORTANT FIX. eBay.com changed the bid history page on or about midnight August 22, 2004. esniper relies on bid history to determine the status of auctions, including the time remaining and the current high bid. No previous versions of esniper will work. This is a fix for bug 1015189. Fixed bug 983133. Made handling of various stylesof line endings more robust. esniper would fail to bid if esniper was started less than 150 seconds from the snipe time. This has been fixed. latency calculations were not very accurate, and could cause esniper to bid a little too early on high-latency connections. Made latency calculation a little more accurate. |

Release 2.6.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: IMPORTANT FIX. Prices with "," in them are not processed properly by eBay.com. If you use a comma as a decimal point (which is common in many non-english speaking countries) eBay.com will interpret the price as if the comma were not there, for example 12,34 is interpreted as 1234. esniper has been updated so that both 12,34 and 12.34 are passed to eBay.com as 12.34. Handling of the thousands separator has also been fixed. Reported as bug 976996. Fixed bug 943694 -- cannot get bid key in dutch auction. Added native Windows support. This only works on NT-derived Windows operating systems (i.e. Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP). Users of other versions of Windows (Windows 95/98/Me) must use esniper-cygwin.exe. |

This fixes "cannot determine bid result" warning. |
|
From: esniper <es...@us...> - 2003-08-04 02:12:22
|
Release 2.2.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: Updated parsing of bid history page due to eBay changes. There are two changes, one which affects all auctions, another which only affects dutch auctions. On startup, esniper will now skip auctions that it cannot find or parse. Previously, any error on startup would cause esniper to exit. |

From: esniper <es...@us...> - 2003-07-06 13:55:06
|
Release 2.1.0 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: Command line options have changed. Changes are not backwards compatible. Run esniper with -h option for more details. Added support for config files. See sample_config.txt, or run esniper with -H option for more details. Added support for auction files. See sample_auction.txt, or run esniper with -H option for more details. esniper can now bid on multiple auctions, either from the command line or an auction file. For security reasons, password cannot be specified on the command line. Password may be specified in config or auction file, otherwise you will be prompted. |

Release 1.6 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: Fixed parsing for item name to match new eBay bug. Fixed timestamp formatting for sleep lines. |
|
From: esniper <es...@us...> - 2002-10-13 01:58:50
|
Release 1.5 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: Fixed http GET command used to retrieve bid information. |
|
From: esniper <es...@us...> - 2002-09-10 14:58:30
|
Release 1.4 of esniper is now available at http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ Updates include: Added timestamp to output, so when esniper says "sleeping for 1 day" you'll know when it will wake up. Fixed bid status on private auctions. Normally, esniper waits until the auction ends, then checks the high bidders to see if you won. With private auctions this doesn't work, because bidders names aren't shown. The fix is to remember the status that was returned when your bid was placed, and if it was successful check if the final price is less than or equal to your bid. Updated bid key script to match new eBay behavior (again!). |
