1 userv (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
3 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
4 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
8 userv (1.0.1) stable frozen unstable; urgency=high
10 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:
11 * fd swapping algorithm would sometimes corrupt security-critical data
12 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
13 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
15 Portability improvement:
16 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

37 userv (0.65.2) unstable; urgency=high
39 * In client, copy results from getpw* when necessary. This fixes what

41 * Avoid accessing backup, auto-save files, etc, with include-lookup.
42 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.
43 * Allow \ to continue lines (and do sensible things with whitespace in
44 `message' and `error' directives).

50 * New "shutdown" builtin service for terminating uservd.
51 * Spec. document shows subsections in TOC.
53 * setenv emulation using putenv works properly (previously you would get
54 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)

57 * Regenerated formatted documentation (spec.ps, spec.html).

63 * New builtin service `help' lists builtin services.
66 * Document locations of required programs.
67 * Sort-of document debugging version.
69 Portability fixes for:
70 * md5sum with extra `-'.

72 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
73 * `logname' name clash.
74 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
75 * various required #include's were omitted.
76 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
78 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
79 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
80 * `dist' target in Makefile.
81 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.
83 * Reran autoconf/autoheader, latest version.

95 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
97 * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
98 Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
99 filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where
100 user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
101 and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
103 * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
105 * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
106 where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
108 * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
109 `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
111 * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
113 * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
114 include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
116 * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
118 * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
119 /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
121 * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
122 * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.
123 * Braces added in client.c to prevent GCC `ambiguous else' warning.
126 * autoconf-generated files included in CVS.
128 * Debian package description mentions use by system admin.

142 * Save filename string in parse_file for error reporting (in case it is
143 overwritten by parsing code).

167 * Server now checks itself every hour to see if its socket has been
168 stolen, and exits if it has.
169 * Client only retries connect(2) on EINTR (and does so silently).
170 * All of even master server's syslog messages have pid.
171 * Don't delete spec.sgml.in in clean targets.

184 * <sys/wait.h> instead of <wait.h>; %d instead of %ld for WEXITSTATUS
185 in overlord.c; PIPEMAXLEN etc. #defines include cast to int to avoid
186 problems with sizeof and size_t; EPROTO missing workaround.

188 to INSTALL file in new PROBLEMS section.
