17 Bugfixes (thanks to report from Nelson Beebe):
18 * Do not call `assert' on expressions whose side-effects we need (!)
19 Thanks to report from Nelson Beebe.
20 * Correct an erroneous assert() argument so that it would actually
21 detect failure of the assertion.
22 * alarm(2) returns unsigned and can never fail.
25 * Reran flex (flex Debian 2.5.31-31).
26 * Use install -g 0 instead of -g root. This is more portable, I hope.
27 * Detect missing vsnprintf and mention URL from Nelson Beebe in err msg.
28 * Remove obsolete `buildship' script from top level directory. We use
29 cvs-buildpackage nowadays.

33 userv (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
36 * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs
37 when client terminates). Thanks to report from Simon Tatham.
39 Minor portability fixes:
40 * Missing #include <string.h> and <stdlib.h> } Thanks to report
41 * getgroups returns int, not gid_t (!). } from Peter Benie.

44 * Bogus WCOREDUMP emulation for broken platforms. } Nelson Beebe
46 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
47 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.
48 * spec.tex and spec.html are autogenerated: clean and .cvsignore them.
49 * SHELL=/bin/bash in debian/rules; use of install(8). Closes: #263979.
50 * Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).
51 * Updated copyright notices.

62 userv (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
65 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
66 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
67 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
68 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
69 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
70 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
71 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
72 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
73 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
76 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
77 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
78 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
79 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
80 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
82 Documentation and help improvements:
83 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
84 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
85 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
86 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
87 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.
88 * Some groff warnings in userv(1), and source version fixed.
89 * New userv(8) manpage. (Debian: Closes: #33777.)
90 * Update copyright dates everywhere.
92 Debian packaging improvements:
93 * Priority changed to optional as per override file.
94 * Build-Depends: debiandoc-sgml, tetex-bin, tetex-extra. Closes #190615.

96 * /etc/init.d/userv nicer output: colons, `.' printed after done.
97 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
98 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.
99 * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578.
100 * Support unstripped binaries in the .deb, with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
101 * Fixed typo in debian/copyright.
102 * /etc/init.d/userv restart doesn't mind if not already running.
103 * debian/rules clean removes whole spec.html subdirectory.

116 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:
117 * fd swapping algorithm would sometimes corrupt security-critical data
118 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
119 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
121 Portability improvement:
122 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

145 * In client, copy results from getpw* when necessary. This fixes what
146 could be a security problem on some platforms.
147 * Avoid accessing backup, auto-save files, etc, with include-lookup.
148 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.
149 * Allow \ to continue lines (and do sensible things with whitespace in
150 `message' and `error' directives).

156 * New "shutdown" builtin service for terminating uservd.
157 * Spec. document shows subsections in TOC.
159 * setenv emulation using putenv works properly (previously you would get
160 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)
161 * Makefile bug fixed (tokens.h would sometimes not be rebuilt).
163 * Regenerated formatted documentation (spec.ps, spec.html).

175 Portability fixes for:
176 * md5sum with extra `-'.
177 * -lsocket required for socket().
178 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
179 * `logname' name clash.
180 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
181 * various required #include's were omitted.
182 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
184 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
185 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
186 * `dist' target in Makefile.
187 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.

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