1 * Break ancient perl compatibility, fix 5.10.1.
3 2013-04-21 Jay Rogers <jay@rgrs.com>
5 * Version 3.04 released.
7 2012-12-15 Jay Rogers <jay@rgrs.com>
9 * Telnet.pm (open family sockfamily): Added IPv6
10 support. It is enabled using the method/parameter
11 family() and the installed Socket package version is
12 1.94+ (which corresponds with perl 5.14+).
14 * Telnet.pm (peerhost peerport sockhost sockport):
15 New methods to support IPv6, because the inherited
16 ones from IO::Socket::INET don't.
18 * Telnet.pm (open localhost localfamily): New
19 methods and open() parameters for binding to a local
22 * Telnet.pm (dump_log, input_log, option_log, output_log): Fixed
23 so they turn off logging when passed an empty string arg.
25 * Telnet.pm (_fillbuf _put): Fixed to use
26 Errno::EINTR, when possible, to test for an
27 interrupted select(), sysread(), or syswrite(). The
28 test for $! =~ /^interrupted doesn't work when LANG
31 2002-12-17 Jay Rogers <jay@rgrs.com>
33 * Telnet.pm (dump_log, input_log, option_log, output_log): Fixed
34 so they take a bare filehandle.
36 2002-07-16 Jay Rogers <jay@rgrs.com>
38 * Version 3.03 released.
40 * Telnet.pm (getlines): Changed behavior so it works like
41 IO::Handle::getlines(). Instead of returning just the lines
42 currently available for reading, it now returns all lines until
43 end-of-file. To get the old behavior, use "All => ''" named
46 * Telnet.pm (put): New method put() is like print(), except that
47 it doesn't write the trailing output_record_separator ("\n"). It
48 also takes named parameters.
50 * Telnet.pm (last_prompt): New method last_prompt() provides the
51 last prompt matched by cmd() or login().
53 * Telnet.pm (rs): New method rs() is synonymous with
54 input_record_separator().
56 * Telnet.pm (ors): New method ors() is synonymous with
57 output_record_separator.
59 * Telnet.pm (ofs): New method ofs() is synonymous with
60 output_field_separator().
62 * Telnet.pm (input_log, output_log, option_log): Fixed so they
63 always return the filehandle of the logfile or "" if logging
66 * Telnet.pm (dump_log, input_log, option_log, output_log): Fixed
67 so they work with an unblessed or tied filehandle.
69 * Telnet.pm (cmd_remove_mode, errmode, input_record_separator)
70 (max_buffer_length, option_callback, port, prompt, timeout): These
71 attribute methods now ignore an invalid argument and print a
72 warning to stderr. This also applies to a named parameter used to
73 override one of these attributes.
75 * Telnet.pm (cmd): Added named parameters to override Errmode, and
76 Input_record_separator.
78 * Telnet.pm (get, waitfor): Added named parameters to override
79 Binmode, Errmode, and Telnetmode.
81 * Telnet.pm (getline, getlines): Added named parameters to
82 override Binmode, Errmode, Input_record_separator, and Telnetmode.
84 * Telnet.pm (login, open): Added named parameter to override
87 * Telnet.pm (login): Added two 0.01 second delays to workaround
88 bug in Linux login program.
90 * Telnet.pm (break): Fixed to properly send TELNET break command.
92 * Telnet.pm (open): Fixed to properly handle an absolute timeout
95 * Telnet.pm: Squelched the warning "isn't numeric" caused by
96 deficiency in ActiveState perl and MS-Windows.
98 * t/select.t: Fixed test #3 so it passes when running on Linux 2.4
101 2000-05-27 Jay Rogers <jay@rgrs.com>
103 * Version 3.02 released.
105 * Telnet.pm: Squelched the warning "Ambiguous call resolved as
106 CORE::open()" introduced by perl5.005
108 * Telnet.pm: Fixed incorrect handling of CR LF when chars are sent
111 * Telnet.pm: Modified log routines to accept a tied filehandle.
113 * Telnet.pm (get): Fixed to correctly set timed_out() to indicate
114 no time-out error when data is not immediately available but
115 subsequently arrives and is read before the time-out interval
118 * Telnet.pm (get): Fixed timeout error when timeout=0, and no
119 data read, but there's still data in the buffer yet to be
122 * Telnet.pm (get): Errmode action now happens when timeout=0 and
125 1997-12-27 Jay Rogers <jay@rgrs.com>
127 * Version 3.01 released.
129 * Telnet.pm (binmode): calling binmode() without an argument no
130 longer sets binmode to 1, but rather just returns the current
133 * Telnet.pm (telnetmode): calling telnetmode() without an argument
134 no longer sets telnetmode to 1, but rather just returns the
135 current value for telnetmode.
137 * Telnet.pm (cmd): Removes the first line of output when the
138 remote side told us it would echo or the user requests its removal
139 explicitly with cmd_remove_mode()
141 * Telnet.pm (cmd_remove_mode): New method that contains the mode
142 for how to deal with an echoed back command in the output returned
143 by cmd(). Default is set to "auto", which means cmd() removes the
144 first line of output when the remote side told us it would echo.
146 * Telnet.pm (new): By default, an offer to echo made by the remote
147 side of a TELNET connection is always accepted.
149 * Telnet.pm (new): Fixed default prompt to work with prompts
152 * Telnet.pm (fhopen): Changed to work with any open filehandle
153 including uni-directional pipes like STDIN.
155 * Telnet.pm (host): When passed a null string or undef for a
156 hostname it no longer changes it to "localhost".
158 * Telnet.pm (waitfor): Now performs error mode action when eof is
159 encountered before the pattern match.
161 * Telnet.pm (waitfor): Changed text of error messages when
164 * Telnet.pm (login): Changed text of error messages when
167 * Telnet.pm: Fixed non-portable use of \r\n to the more portable
170 * Telnet.pm (break): Fixed to no longer send the
171 output_record_separator.
173 * Telnet.pm: Stopped erroneously converting input character
174 sequences which look like TELNET escaped carriage-returns
175 (\015\000), when not in telnetmode.
177 * Telnet.pm (buffer): New method that returns scalar reference to
178 object's input buffer.
180 * Telnet.pm (buffer_empty): New method that discards all data in
181 object's input buffer.
183 * Telnet.pm (option_accept): New method used to indicate our
184 willingness to accept a telnet option offered by the remote side.
186 * Telnet.pm (option_callback): New method used to receive
187 notification of telnet option negotiation.
189 * Telnet.pm (option_log): New method that is used to log option
192 * Telnet.pm (option_state): New method that returns the current
193 state of a telnet option.
