Linpac / News: Recent posts

I have released new LinPac 0.16pre10. This is a candidate for the stable 0.16 release.

New pre-release is available for testing. The
"message broken" bug should be fixed.

LinPac 0.16pre6 now contains support for the FPAC sysop authorization by Thierry F1TVE. It is configured the same way as FBB passwords but the station type is "FPAC" and the MD field is not used.

I finally managed to create another pre-release. This one should fix most of the bugs reported in
Bug Tracker except of the wait_prompt bug. There are some more fixes in the application communication - the communication shouldn't freeze any more.

The 0.16pre4 release contains a new API. This interface should be stable for all the following versions. The new API is described in "External Application Programming Giude" available in Documentation section.

I tried to fix the majority of the bugs discussed in forums. Please let me know, if something got better or not.

This release contains a brand new API and application communication subsystem. Shared memory usage was removed as so as the named pipes in /tmp and lockfiles in /var. All communication is now done via TCP/IP sockets. Since this is a significant change, I'm very interested in your comments. Please give this release a try and send me a report (via mail or to forums). Thanks. Note that this release contains an obsolete
application developer's guide. The up-to-date one is going to be included in next release.

This release introduces new message storage implementation in mailer. Mailer now supports separate mail lists for incomming/outgoing mail.

Another pre-release is here. This one should contain new shared memory scheme and improved mailer with 7plus capabilities.

LinPac has moved to its new home at SourceForge.
