07-19-2000 - Build cleanups, changed scp behavior. 07-18-2000 - Session password is now encrypted. Added the -p password switch for the lazy. Support for eval'ed config to load multiple modules. Packages for 0.5.4 release. 07-17-2000 - Cleaned up the GUI changes more. Now actually functional. modified the menu config so the pop up menu for the server list is generated and managed via perl. 07-14-2000 - Major GUI overhaul. Servers now listed in tree view and the main window also has a generic browser where status messages can be added. 07-11-2000 - Fixed problem with logins using SSH_Expect. Mapped callback for toolbar buttons to evaluate as perl. Anyone using the buttons with hostnames to call servers should wrap the hostname in 'launch_ssh(qw(<hostname>))'. 07-10-2000 - Perl runtime is now working, added customizable menus and some core utility functions. Cleaned up for release of new code. 07-07-2000 - Implemented the embedded perl interpreter. Wrote module hooks for perl into all the configuration access functions used by S-Lang, plus direct access to the SSH_Expect and J_Expect classes. Modified configure to optionally build in support for either S-Lang or perl. Minimalists can use neither, mad hackers can build in both. 05-15-2000 - Changed to build against latest Flek cvs, which means that it uses Fl_Dockable_Windows instead of Fl_Dockable_Groups, so the current RPMS and tarballs at flek.sourceforge.net are not compatible. 05-12-2000 - Added signal handler to catch SIGWINCH, so terminals handle window resizing gracefully. Scripts using the exp_* functions don't handle it as well, since they handle them in exp_poll() and exp_interact() only right now. 05-11-2000 - Redid crypto to make sure there were no patent conflicts. Improves security a bit as it now requires an passphrase which it does not store in any way (though it keeps it temporarily when the GUI is running so spawned processes don't require a prompt). Added upgradepass.sl to the scripts directory to upgrade old configs to new. 05-10-2000 - Fixed some, but not all problems with scp. Command line works fine, but the GUI is still a little unstable when using scp. Autoconf'ed the build process. Spec'ed an RPM. 05-09-2000 - Replaced all global STL strings with char pointers. 05-08-2000 - Added script interface to S-Lang input handlers. Added support to pass command line arguments to scripts. Added msh2.sl and kbin.sl to demo optional input handlers. Added sysrep.sl to have an actually useful script. -f option is now deprecated but will still work. 05-04-2000 - Added hosts.sl and msh.sl to scripts directory. 05-03-2000 - Many fixes made to scripting expect functions. Fixed the argument limit in spawn_session(), but doesn't work in s-lang calls, so exp_new() is still limited to 24 args. Added some actually useful example scripts. Documented jumppoint specific s-lang intrinsic functions. Made some changes to build with g++ 2.95.2. Added prompt() and chop() functions to s-lang scripting. 05-01-2000 - Embedded s-lang interpretter into jumppoint. Added interface functions to allow access and setting of configuration directives, and full access to the generic expect interface. Made a couple really simple example scripts. 04-28-2000 - Added scp support. The GUI has a file transfer dialog and there is also a command line switch. The scp automation uses a generic expect class interface which can be used to automate other commands. 04-25-2000 - Ditch crappy popt argument parser. Fixed -x and -e options, added -q, -h, and --help options. Placed verbose status reporting in #ifdef DEBUG wrappers. Added mask_terminal() and unmask_terminal() members to SSH_Expect class. Use masking on ExecCmd and -e arg commands to reduce screen clutter. 04-24-2000 - Created ChangeLog. Added encrypted password support. Fixed terminal hang bug. Added termios settings to prevent passwords from echoing on standard output during automated login.
