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

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

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

54 userv (0.62) unstable; urgency=low
56 * New builtin service `help' lists builtin services.
59 * Document locations of required programs.
60 * Sort-of document debugging version.
62 Portability fixes for:
63 * md5sum with extra `-'.
64 * -lsocket required for socket().
65 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
66 * `logname' name clash.
67 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
68 * various required #include's were omitted.
69 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
71 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
72 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
73 * `dist' target in Makefile.
74 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.
76 * Reran autoconf/autoheader, latest version.
77 * Updated email address to ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk throughout.

81 userv (0.60.3) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

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

161 stolen, and exits if it has.
162 * Client only retries connect(2) on EINTR (and does so silently).

179 problems with sizeof and size_t; EPROTO missing workaround.

181 to INSTALL file in new PROBLEMS section.
