924 use sys/termio instead of sys/termios to please AIX
930 Mmount arg parsing bug fix
932 New partition configuration variable.
934 Spelling fixes, removed warning in README, IRIX floppy devices
936 More Alpha streamlining
938 Alpha patches (64 bit clean-ness)
939 AIX patches (built in drive names)
940 Raw tty patches (no need to type return when confirming an action
943 Replaced include strings.h by string.h everywhere where applicable
944 Changed thousands separator in mdir from a dot to a space to
945 please both Americans and Europeans.
946 Fixed memory allocation bug if no "constant device" is present.
947 #defined strtoul to atol for SunOS
949 Minor cleanup, released 2.5.4
951 Added "magic" header to manpages to have man run them through tbl
953 MTOOLS_LOWER_CASE is back, various small bug fixes over
956 Bus strike in Grenoble! Well, let's do something useful and
957 re-arrange the configuration file syntax :-)
958 The syntax has become much more flexible now, and also
959 includes items which used to be only accessible via
960 environmental variables.
961 Moreover, it is now possible to include character translation
964 Fixed another Atari disk bug: Atari disks sport a bogus
965 "number of hidden sectors"
967 Fixed missing zero-terminator in autorenamed long names
968 MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK now implies MTOOLS_FAT_COMPATIBILITY.
970 Fixed small quoted-printable-induced typo in the Makefile.
972 Folks, please don't use quoted-printable. It sometimes changes
973 the CONTENT of your messages. Even the MIME RFC's acknowledge this.
974 Case in point: £400 gets transformed into =A3400, which looks
975 like 3400 pounds to a person unaware of this MIME "feature".
978 Mformat now puts a 12 bit FAT on ED to better match Messy DOS'
981 Added ability to do mcopy e: to copy all files from the root
983 New Xdf-less Linux target in the Makefile
984 Relaxed sanity check to let pass wonky Atari disks whose FAT
985 begins with 3 zero bytes.
986 Make the check of the initial fat bytes conditional on
988 Corrected "testna=" bug
989 Upped minimal sector size to be 256 (instead of 128). This
995 Ability to mformat 2m disks
997 Xdf bug fix (dev parameters always set to Xdf, even if it
998 wasn't really an Xdf disk)
999 Fixed YAHB (yet another hash table bug :) ) . Hope this one's
1001 Centralizing most env-var handling.
1002 Update of the mtools manpage.
1003 Xdf is now optional, and only active if MTOOLS_USE_XDF is
1004 set. Saves a few milliseconds of startup time on non Xdf
1006 Some lawyer-proofing, just in case :)
1008 Fast xdf code (finally!)
1009 Minor performance enhancements here and there.
1010 Names which are all lower case now generate a long name entry
1011 (according to Steve Searle, that's how Win'95 behaves).
1013 Character translation table fixes. Other name fixes.
1015 Put restrictions on long names to better match Win'95.
1016 (suggested by Steve Searle)
1017 Reworked autorename code. Catch SIGHUP signal
1018 Added missing file close to main loop
1019 Changed name of the "ask for action" command line flag to 'm',
1020 and used 'a' for 'Autorename'.
1022 Removed infinite loop bug in hash.c, which occurred when the
1023 hash table was filled with deleted entries.
1025 added Atari ST-style serial numbers (they live in the banner)
1026 fixed a troff bug in mtools.1
1027 Both changes were suggested by D. Hugh Redelmeier (hugh@mimosa.com)
1029 v2.5.3 released (after lots of fixes)
1033 mdir.c: initialized "files" and "blocks" to avoid complaint by GCC
1034 mattrib.c: initialized "code" to avoid complaint by GCC
1036 Based on comments by Paul Slootman <paul@ahwau.ahold.nl>:
1037 init.c: fs_init(): initialized disk_size to 0. The section
1038 which previously initialized this is ifdef'd out. Why?
1039 Makefile, device.c: Passed ETCDIR (e.g. /etc or /etc/default)
1040 Gee, the Makefile is pretty ugly! It might be good to start
1041 thinking about autoconfigure, or at least some cleanup.
1042 Makefile, mformat.c: use -DSOLARIS2, use srand48()/rand48()
1043 msdos.h, file.c, mdir.c: prefixed YEAR/MONTH/DAY/HOUR/MINUTE/
1044 SEC with DOS_ to avoid conflicts with <sys/time.h> on SVR4
1045 devices.c: use %i instead of %d to allow different bases
1046 parse.c: Changed comment for get_name()/get_path(); need to
1047 revisit this after deciding on default case behavior
1048 devices.c: load_devices(): fixed bad fprintf, line 748
1049 parse.c, mformat.c, misc.c: replaced expressions like
1050 "if (islower(foo)) foo=toupper(foo)" with "foo=toupper(foo)"
1056 Based on comments by Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de>:
1057 Bug fixes for compile errors and core dumps under SINIX-D 5.41
1063 v19950822 v2.5 released
1066 Change null-fill for unused remainder of VSE to 0xff fill for
1067 both upper and lower character (just one null for termination)
1068 This seems to better match Win95's behavior; Win95 had been
1069 complaining about bogus characters
1070 file_name.c: unicode_write()
1073 Commented out enforcement of VSEs being in order. Win95 likes
1074 to put them exactly backwards, so we'd better tolerate getting
1075 them any way they might come! Not sure what is lost by losing
1076 these checks, but it seems to be OK.
1078 directory.c: dir_read()
