3 Bugfixes (thanks to report from Nelson Beebe):
4 * Do not call `assert' on expressions whose side-effects we need (!)
5 Thanks to report from Nelson Beebe.
6 * Correct an erroneous assert() argument so that it would actually
7 detect failure of the assertion.
10 * Reran flex (flex Debian 2.5.31-31).
14 userv (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
17 * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs
18 when client terminates). Thanks to report from Simon Tatham.
20 Minor portability fixes:
21 * Missing #include <string.h> and <stdlib.h> } Thanks to report
22 * getgroups returns int, not gid_t (!). } from Peter Benie.
23 * Dummy `check' target in Makefile.in. } Thanks to
24 * Bogus strsignal emulation for broken platforms. } report from
25 * Bogus WCOREDUMP emulation for broken platforms. } Nelson Beebe
27 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
28 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.
29 * spec.tex and spec.html are autogenerated: clean and .cvsignore them.
30 * SHELL=/bin/bash in debian/rules; use of install(8). Closes: #263979.
31 * Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).
32 * Updated copyright notices.

43 userv (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
46 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
47 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
48 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
49 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
50 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
51 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
52 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
53 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
54 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
57 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
58 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
59 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
60 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
61 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
63 Documentation and help improvements:
64 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
65 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
66 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
67 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
68 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.
69 * Some groff warnings in userv(1), and source version fixed.
70 * New userv(8) manpage. (Debian: Closes: #33777.)
71 * Update copyright dates everywhere.
73 Debian packaging improvements:
74 * Priority changed to optional as per override file.
75 * Build-Depends: debiandoc-sgml, tetex-bin, tetex-extra. Closes #190615.
76 * init.d reload is noop, restart now called restart. Closes #70783.
77 * /etc/init.d/userv nicer output: colons, `.' printed after done.
78 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
79 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.
80 * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578.
81 * Support unstripped binaries in the .deb, with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
82 * Fixed typo in debian/copyright.
83 * /etc/init.d/userv restart doesn't mind if not already running.
84 * debian/rules clean removes whole spec.html subdirectory.
85 * Ship spec.ps (Closes: #210859)
86 * Lintian override for suid /usr/bin/userv (Closes: #211055)

95 userv (1.0.1) stable frozen unstable; urgency=high
97 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:
98 * fd swapping algorithm would sometimes corrupt security-critical data
99 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
100 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
102 Portability improvement:
103 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

124 userv (0.65.2) unstable; urgency=high
126 * In client, copy results from getpw* when necessary. This fixes what
127 could be a security problem on some platforms.
128 * Avoid accessing backup, auto-save files, etc, with include-lookup.
129 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.
130 * Allow \ to continue lines (and do sensible things with whitespace in
131 `message' and `error' directives).

135 userv (0.64.1) unstable; urgency=low
137 * New "shutdown" builtin service for terminating uservd.
138 * Spec. document shows subsections in TOC.
140 * setenv emulation using putenv works properly (previously you would get
141 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)
142 * Makefile bug fixed (tokens.h would sometimes not be rebuilt).
144 * Regenerated formatted documentation (spec.ps, spec.html).

150 * New builtin service `help' lists builtin services.
152 INSTALL improvements:
153 * Document locations of required programs.
154 * Sort-of document debugging version.
156 Portability fixes for:
157 * md5sum with extra `-'.
158 * -lsocket required for socket().
159 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
160 * `logname' name clash.
161 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
162 * various required #include's were omitted.
163 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
165 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
166 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
167 * `dist' target in Makefile.
168 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.
170 * Reran autoconf/autoheader, latest version.

182 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
184 * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
185 Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
186 filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where
187 user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
188 and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
190 * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
192 * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
193 where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
195 * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
196 `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
198 * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
200 * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
201 include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
203 * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
205 * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
206 /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
208 * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
209 * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.
210 * Braces added in client.c to prevent GCC `ambiguous else' warning.
213 * autoconf-generated files included in CVS.
215 * Debian package description mentions use by system admin.

254 * Server now checks itself every hour to see if its socket has been
255 stolen, and exits if it has.
256 * Client only retries connect(2) on EINTR (and does so silently).
257 * All of even master server's syslog messages have pid.

271 * <sys/wait.h> instead of <wait.h>; %d instead of %ld for WEXITSTATUS
272 in overlord.c; PIPEMAXLEN etc. #defines include cast to int to avoid
