Contact cannot be a null ptr, and it is accessed before anyway. Disscussed with kedge.

[kdenetwork.git] / kppp / ChangeLog

2005-07-03  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * pppstats.cpp: patch by Ivan that makes the PPP interface check
        more portable. On the BSD IFF_RUNNING is already set right after
        pppd starts - too early for our purposes. Avoids potential
        authentication problems.

2005-07-01  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: fixing the flow control fix. Ivan Vasilyev spotted
        yet another issue with translated strings.

2005-04-12  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * pppstatdlg.cpp: improved byte number formatting patch by 'Walter'

2005-03-18  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: fixed another occurence of a i18n bug with the flow
        control setting as reported by Brendon Higgins in #95502. Will surely
        fix some connection problems.

2004-11-15  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * edit.cpp (DialWidget): increased max length of callback number

2004-07-11  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * kpppwidget.cpp: to save some screen space: show the modem combo
        box only if more than one modem has been set up.

        * general.cpp (ModemWidget): fixed name label of modem dialog

2004-05-28  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * devices.h: added /dev/ttyS4 as requested by Christopher Martin for
        PCI hardware modem in 2.6 kernels (#82345)

        * general.cpp: made modem combo box read-only again. Editing device
        names didn't really work (#82345).

2004-05-19  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modem.cpp: fixed flow control for non-English users. Bug found by
        Elias Jahn (#73646).

2004-05-14  Simone Gotti  <simone.gotti@email.it>
        * Now kppp has the multiple modem profile features, so it finally 
        can manage a lot of modems and not only one! 
        It can use the old kppp config copying the [Modem] group to the 
        [Modem0] group if it doesn't already exists.
        See Bugs: #52028 

2004-04-24  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: added patch by Dmitri that allows automatic redials
        on NO CARRIER.

        * provide automatic CBCP (Windows) callback support. Patch by Nick
        Shafff.

2004-04-12  Gerardo Puga  <gpuga@gioia.ing.unlp.edu.ar>

        * Now kppp will notify other applications using DCOP about 
          connection status changes.

2004-01-07  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modem.cpp: fix a bug in writing of modem commands. EAGAIN errors
        were not handled. Thanks to Matteo Croce who helped tracking this
        down.
        
2003-12-13  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * edit.cpp: disallow colons in connection name. breaks the loginfo
        format

2003-07-16  Harri Porten  <porten@froglogic.com>

        * connect.cpp: Digital Line Protection (DLP) support contributed
        by Dorian Araneda <dorian.araneda at intel.com>

2003-02-18  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * added keyboard accelerators, layout fix (patch from
        Mikolaj Machowski)

2002-12-22  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * acctselect.cpp: allow %xx escapes in ruleset file names.

        * kpppconfig.h: increased MAX_ACCOUNTS to 100
        * connect.cpp: fix for race condition in Expect command by
        Dag Nygren dag at newtech.fi

2002-04-12  Nadeem Hasan  <nhasan@kde.org>
    * Lots of GUI and layout cleanups. Added accels.

2002-01-27  Per Winkvist  <nd96pwt@student.hig.se>

        * Add option to tune ATS11 "tone duration".

2002-01-22  Per Winkvist  <nd96pwt@student.hig.se>

        * Make "Connect To" button default.
        * Move KPPPWidget in main.cpp to an own file which reduced
        the size of main.cpp with almost 1000 lines.

2002-01-21 Chris Howells <howells@kde.org>
        * Made the QMultiLineEdit on the  Login Debug Window
           read-only
        * Fixed the bug in the connected window that meant
          that the volume valued didn't display when volume
          was >~2.5GB

2002-01-21  Per Winkvist  <nd96pwt@student.hig.se>

        * Set focus correctly to ID/PWD on startup if one of the fields
        are empty.

2002-01-01  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * don't ignore SIGHUP anymore. Forbidding Ctrl-Z is crazy.
        * a bit more respect for Session Managment by adding handlers
          for KApplication::saveYourSelf() and shutDown(). A user
          had reported corrupted config data.
        * made 'Log' a toggle button to represent debug window state

2001-11-30  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: set focus to password field if it's missing on startup.
        Patch by Per Winkvist <nd96pwt at adeptus.student.hig.se>.

2001-11-26  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * applied patch for USB modems by Oliver Gantz <Oliver.Gantz@epost.de>

2001-11-23  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: finally implemented often requested feature:
        multiple init strings. Only two for now but it's now easy
        to increase (PPPData::NumInitStrings + GUI)

2001-11-08  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * pppdata.cpp: fixed renaming of default account. Bug reported
          by william.stephenson at ncl.ac.uk.

2001-05-21  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modem.cpp: 460800 speed fix from msade@cs.pitt.edu

2001-04-13  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp: fixed startup crash if 'pppd --version' failed
        * combined PAP/CHAP patch by Ingo Heeskens <ingo@fivemile.org>
        
2001-04-08  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * option for turning off dial tone detection. Modem string
          defaults to ATX3.
        * Solaris fixes: added missing include, less restrictive compile check
        * main.cpp: deactivated KNotify::beep() in pppd-died signal handler,
          due to appearant race conditions when working remote
        * ppplog.cpp: hardcoded list of syslog files, including my Debian one
        * pppdata.cpp: i18n'ed name of account copy
        * ...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KDE 2.1.0 released <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<     
2001-01-05  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * Solaris patches by Keith Refson <Keith.Refson@earth.ox.ac.uk>
        and Stephen Usher <Stephen.Usher@earth.ox.ac.uk>. Still needs some
        tweaking.
        * logview/monthly.cpp: sensible sort order for each column. cleanup.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KDE 2.0.1 released <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        
2000-11-27  Harri Porten  <harri@trolltech.com>

        * applied 7 bit fix from KDE 1.x for CompuServe users.

2000-11-21  Harri Porten  <harri@trolltech.com>

        * modem.cpp: writeLine() fix from Wolfgang Grandegger. Hit USB modem
        owners and probably more.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KDE 2.0 released <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<     
1999-11-18  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: cleaned up signal handlers by posting a user defined
        event to Qt's event loop. The real X stuff will be done in member 
        functions of KPPPWidget now.

1999-11-16  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * docking.cpp: ported to make use of new KDockWidget

1999-10-03  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * support automatic DNS detection if pppd >= 2.3.7.
        * pppdata.cpp: fixed default account

1999-10-02  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp: determine pppd version. Will be needed to check
        for support of new features

1999-09-26  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp (ppp_available): Linux kernels >= 2.2.13 will have
        a security hole fixed that breaks our check. Let's simply return true.

1999-08-31  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * opener.cpp: unified PAP and CHAP code
        * use KMessageBox::Yes enum

1999-07-22  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: visualize \n as <LF> in setExpect()'s debug messages
        * logviewer: rename `log' variable to `logList' to avoid clash with
        mathematical function on some systems. 
        * logview/loginfo.cpp: added mystrsep() function as strsep()
        replacement which is not POSIX compliant.

1999-07-19  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * pppdata.cpp: fixed a cause of those "Timeout expired" errors: if 
        the user never set the speed of the serial port gpppdata would return
        an empty string as speed(). The modem initialization code would
        fall back to 57600 but no speed would be passed to pppd. Whatever
        pppd does in this case (I haven't checked the sources yet) breaks the
        negotiation process.

1999-07-13  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * added "Mode 7bit" and "Mode 8bit" script commands for CompuServe
        users. 7bit will simply strip off the highest bit to deal with the
        incoming 7E1 data. Write operations are not affected.
        * modem.cpp: try a tcsendbreak() if tcgetattr() fails. Ask for
        feedback if that solved the "modem is busy" error for anyone.
        * modem.cpp: read data in multiple chunks of up to 200 bytes. This 
        should speed up things and avoid problems with the socket notifier. 

1999-07-11  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: moved some code from readChar() into checkBuffers() 
        to clean up the setExpect() race condition fix.

1999-07-07  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * kppp now finds the icons again

1999-07-06  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modem.cpp: adhere to the lock file format described in the
        Serial HOWTO (10 digits pid and a newline).
        * connect.cpp: fixed race condition that might have lead to data not
        being caught by "Expect" (found by Arch Harris <arch@cs.jmu.edu>)

1999-06-05  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * pppstats.cpp: dropping the ifr_name #define hack allows compilation
        with --enable-final (saves 20 kB size)

1999-05-30  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: skip setting the volume if command is empty
        * switched from KWizard to QWizard
        * adaption to new KConfig iterators
        * partly switched to KStandardDirs

1999-05-07  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: added public showStats() slot. Saved methods and p_kppp
        pointers in DockWidget and ConWindow.

1999-05-07  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * renamed shutDown to myShutDown to avoid name clash with KApp
        * runtests.cpp: better error message for missing s-bit.

1999-05-04  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * conwindow.cpp: fixed deleting of old geometry layout
        * pppstats.cpp: bundled statistic in a module. Removed unused
        get_ppp_cstats() and some variables. The modem animations are triggered
        by signals from the PPPStats object.
        * logview/main.cpp: had to replace QTabDialog with QTabWidget
        
1999-04-25  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp: test for `lock' in /etc/ppp/options is not needed any-
        more, thanks to a hint from Paul Mackeras (pppd). Leaving away ttySx
        (99/04/10) from the command line and binding stdin/stdout to the
        device (99/01/12) stops pppd from trying to lock the device itself.

1999-04-12  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * opener.cpp: introduced MY_ASSERT macro. We don't want to see our
        security checks disabled by the NDEBUG flag.
        * connect.cpp: fixed timeout errors that were caused by a re-enabled
        socket notifier that took away data from pppd.
        Thanks to Ian Gordon <ig@cs.strath.ac.uk> for tracking down this bug.
        * requester.cpp: setpppdRunning(false) _before_ killing the pppd.
        * main.cpp: added flushX() before every command_execute()
        * increased maximum modem string size
        * connect.cpp: stop the main loop from skipping characters. Parsing
        the connect speed should work now.
        
1999-03-11  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modem.cpp: dropped ISTRIP option and made everything else "8-bit
        clean" by using unsigned char and removing 0x7F AND'ing. Characters
        like [§'°öäü] will work now.
        * modem.cpp: use usleep() replacement from kdecore/fakes.cpp

1999-03-10  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * conwindow.cpp (ConWindow): initialize volinfo with "" do prevent
        segfault. Strange.
        * more porting to Qt 2.0 (layout and QString)

1999-03-05  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * geometry layout: got rid of some freeze() and setMinimum*() calls.
        Qt 2.0 seems to make life a bit easier. A lot of work left.

1999-03-03  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * kdelibs have been switched to Qt 2.0. Replaced a lot of const char *
        with QString (or QString&) and removed ~100 .data() calls.

1999-02-16  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * providerdb.cpp: don't segfault if database can't be located

1999-02-15  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * the phonenumber widget had a german "Abbrechen" button instead
          of a "Cancel" button

        * new Script command "SendNoEcho". Usefull for sending passwords,
          the command works like "Send", but the actual content is shown
          as "*" in the status line.

        * added a DialPrefix to the provider dialog; kppp now handles the
          DialPrefix value for every connection, defaults to ""

        * if a script argument contains %PASSWORD% or %USERNAME%, it is
          replaced by the corresponding value

        * fixed a bug in ChangeLog (don't laugh, that happens). I
          commited all the changes above as Harri Porten :-)

1999-02-13  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * there's no a provider database (just one entry for now) and a
          wizard for this.

1999-02-11  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp: removed local header file if_ppp.h

        * pppstats.cpp: cleaned up

1999-02-10  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * the PPP interface name is now autodetected

        * replaced the "Help" button with a questionmark. Makes the window
          much smaller, especially in other languages than english

        * the version number raised to 2.0pre4 (from 1.6.4). This version
          is mainly the development version, whilest there is still a 
          "stable" 1.6.3 in the KDE 1.1 branch. Once KDE 2.0 is out (or
          however it will named), the release will be 2.0

1999-02-09  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@sime.com> 

        * fixed a bug in the accounting module. The last character of the
          logfile was overwritten each time a log file was
          generated. Strange that nobody complained...

        * reworked the layout of the AccountWidget

        * removed some old, no longer needed variables from edit.h

        * reworked the layout of the ModemWidget

        * reworked the layout of the Modem2Widget. Now all Tab-Widgets are
          reworked to use KGroupBox (which adds the title and takes part
          of the size managment), which makes adding or deleting widgets
          in the tab-dialogs much easier (especially for other people)

        * if a user enters to domain name with a leading dot, this is
          silently ignored now.

1999-02-08  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * removed some doubled and obsolete code. Some simplifications.

        * fixed "cannot find pppd" error message

1999-02-08  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * Changed the tabs "DNS" and "Gateway". Somehow, it feels more
          natural this way.

        * reworked the layout of the "DNS" widget

        * pretty printed volume accounting. Using the terms KB, MB and GB
          now when appropriate.

        * Now it is possible to reset phone costs, volume accounting or both

        * reworked the IPWidget, the GatewayWidget and the DialWidget

1999-02-07  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * reworked the phone accounting selector widget, and reworked the
          groupbox widget to adhere minimumSize() of the peer()

        * reworked the layouting of the ScriptWidget and some usability
          improvements  

        * removed the disturbing "Show log window" button. The log window
          now remembers if it was shown or hidden last time. Now I'm
          waiting for feedback, if everybody is happy I'll remove it
          completly.

        * removed some #include from header files and moved them to the
          cpp files. Thus compiling for developers will be somewhat faster
          now, because of fewer dependencies

1999-02-06  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * added a new tab "Execute" to the accounting dialog, including
          an explanation how to use it. 

        * the pppd-arguments were modified (in the "Customize ppp
        arguments" dialog if "Default" was pressed, no matter if "Cancel"
        was pressed afterwards. Fixed.

        * the phone number entry was removed and replaced by a listbox and
        some buttons to allow easy selection of multiple phone numbers

        * the label "Edit pppd arguments" and the button after are now
        replaced with the button "Customize pppd arguments..."

        * some small usability improvements

        * a big, fat warning is now displayed when selecting the
          "Auto-configure hostname" option.

        * The log window is now hidden if we are connected. If a
        connection is up and running, there's no need for a debug
        window

        * The "/dev/cua*" devices are no longer available under Linux

        * fixed a warning in requester.cpp

        * pressing enter when on the "Connect" button now starts dialing

1999-02-04  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: remove stale pidfile before creating new the
        one. Otherwise creation with O_EXCL fails.
        * runtests.cpp: removed securityTest(). $HOME check wasn't fully
        functional and not needed anymore.
        * runtests.cpp: re-enabled test for pppd's s-bit if eff. uid != 0.

1999-02-03  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * fixed a bug in my testing code

        * fixed broken Hungarian ruleset

1999-02-02  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * the value of the environment var $HOME is no longer trusted,
          kppp now uses getpwent() to find out the home directory.

        * the pidfile is now created with O_EXCL

        * added new portugal rules

        * executable accounting rulesets are now disabled (will re-enable
          after KDE 1.1)

        * fixed a bug that caused the throughput graph display
          unreasonable high numbers

1999-01-31  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * fixed a security bug (stdout or stderr closed on program start)

1999-01-28  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * fixed a bug in opener.cpp. recvmsg() was interrupted, and thus
        the SUID part died.

1999-01-28  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modem.cpp: use sigsetjmp() instead of just setjmp() to solve
        freeze when modem is powered off (bug#267)

1999-01-27  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * pppstats.cpp: removed debug output
        * opener.cpp: delay closing the tty fd. Otherwise the ioctl() in
        execpppd() can't succeed.
        * opener.cpp: ignore TERM and INT signals. This is probably the
        best until a safe clean-up & terminate routine is written.
        * connect.cpp: added a removedns() call to cancelbutton().

1999-01-25  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * updated and regenerated documentation
        
1999-01-23  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: config data wasn't saved on immediate exit.

1999-01-22  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * moved pppd call to the server process. It should be safer and
        much more comfortable that pppd doesn't need to be installed SUID
        root anymore. If I don't get any negative feedback I'll remove
        some doubled code later. 

1999-01-17  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modeminfo.cpp: ATI1 was left out. Wait 0.1 secs to process the ATE0.

1999-01-14  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * Most windows should now have the mini-icon
        * the lineedit for the modem timeout was too narrow to see at
        least 2 characters. Fixed it, now shows at least 4 chars
        * double-clicking an account in the account-listbox now opens 
        the account for editing, as expected
        * for some weird reason, the lineedit showing costs and volume
        were both editable, thus letting users think they can edit
        it. Fixed that.

1999-01-12  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: become the session leader and let ttySx be the
        controlling terminal before launching pppd. This might solve
        timeout problems several people reported, ie. when kppp was
        started from kpanel instead of a terminal window.
        * main.cpp: the kppp.sh workaround for make_directories() isn't
        needed anymore and confused a few people.
        * requester.cpp: convert cmsglen to size_t to make the compiler happy.
        * modem.cpp: fixed usleep() replacement in case #ifndef HAVE_USLEEP
        * connect.cpp: saving of old_hostname was broken

1999-01-10  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * complete rework of the accounting system. The old implementation
        did only allow one type of accounting (=via rulefiles). The new
        will allow executable rulefiles too.
        
1999-01-06  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * added new hungarian rules
        * the title of the main window was "kppp.bin". Fixed this.
        * the combobox for selecting the account to dial in was
        editable for some strange reason. Fixed.
        * modified the testing stuff (-T now)

1999-01-04  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * began to add a modem database. See README.ModemDB for
        details. The modem DB will not make it into KDE 1.1 (sorry)

1999-01-05  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * opener.cpp: set O_NOCTTY flag when opening the modem device to
        hinder the server process from being assigned a controlling terminal
        (and 'stealing' it from pppd ?)
        * pppdata.h: renamed "LockFile" key to "UseLockFile" to prevent a
        clash with kppprc's from KDE 1.0. (reported by Seth Rothberg
        <sethr@crocker.com>)
        * umask(0) in suid child to avoid permission conflicts with lock file.
        * connect.cpp,opener.*,requester.*: moved call to sethostname()
        into Opener. Bug discovered by Matthew Ando <ando@math.jhu.edu>


1999-01-04  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * Updated Hungarian rules
        * removed all Qt calls from log to make it safe to use in
        opener.cpp
        * replace Debug() calls in opener.cpp with the function
        provided by log.cpp
        * clarified comments in opener.cpp
        * replaced the button "Ok" with a "Exit" button when another
        instance of kppp was found. This clarifies the action when
        pressing the button.
        * added a .kdelnk file for the log-viewer

1998-12-28  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * opener.cpp: netinet/in.h is needed on FreeBSD
        * reverse order of dropping suid rights (first setgid, then
        setuid) to avoid an EPERM error (doesn't make a difference on Linux)
        * requester/opener: removed transmission of filename. I discovered
        problems with the variable string length and it wasn't used
        anyway.
        
1998-12-27  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * moved gpppdata.setpppdError(0) to end of dieppp()
        * the "Don't show this hint again" option is now immediatly saved

1998-12-26  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * gpppdata.pppdError() was never reset, causing a bunch of error
          windows to appear. Should be fixed.
        * cosmetic changes in various files for better readability      

1998-12-25  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * kpppconfig.h: include <sys/param.h> to get the BSD define.
        #include <config.h> was missing too. This prevented several #ifdefs
        from doing the right thing.

1998-12-24  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp: relaxed my previously enforced suid check for pppd

1998-12-23  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp, opener.cpp: fixed FreeBSD compile problem reported by Hans
        Petter Bieker

1998-12-22  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * pppdata.cpp: Give users upgrading from KDE 1.0 instructions how
        to modify their kppprc if it is owned by root (KConfig bug back then).

1998-12-21  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * opener.cpp: using umask now instead of chmod (more safe)
        * opener.cpp: regfree was called too late. Fixed.
        * re-enable scripts when using CHAP or PAP
        * cosmetic changes in the "Accounts" widget

1998-12-21  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * opener.h: define system dependend type cast for struct iovec's
        iov_base. FreeBSD needs (char *) instead (void *).

1998-12-20  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * added Germany Mannesmann Arcor ruleset

1998-12-20  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * docking.cpp: call KWM::activate() on connection window after
        being re-opened from docking icon (recommended by Matthias on
        kde-devel)
        * ppplog.cpp: re-introduced reading messages with fgets() instead
        of single chars. Should be faster.
        * ppplog.cpp: worked on diagnostic messages

1998-12-18  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * #include "auth.h" was needed after pap.h was removed
        * opener.h: workaround for glibc bug in RedHat 5.0. Since there is
        presumably no way to detect the exact release version we'll simply
        define SCM_RIGHTS to be 1 for every glibc2.0 on Linux. This should
        solve the conflict with the kernel.  

1998-12-18  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * removed pap.* and chap.* files and moved their code in
        requester.cpp where all setuid root stuff is gathered now.
        * requester.cpp: rewrote PAP/CHAP so that the setuid part is free
        of any Qt/X calls. 

1998-12-16  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * added Indonesia rule files
        * added some new Denmark rule files
        * added a patch from Filip Larsen <filip@post4.tele.dk> to allow a
          rule to be dependent on connection time. See Rules/TEMPLATE for
          an example. This will allow much better danish rulesets

1998-12-14  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp: fixed test for pppd's suid bit
        * requester.cpp: initialize struct control (may be necessary for
        some kernel versions)
        * runtests.cpp: use Requester to check write access to modem (PPP Test)

1998-12-13  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * use hardcoded lock file path (kpppconfig.h)
        * tighten interface between Requester/Opener by transmitting
        device index instead of device path 
        * do a fchown(fd, 0, 0) on lock file

1998-12-08  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * added Denmark rules
        * added Luxembourg rules
        * commented out the no-longer need CHAP_* functions
        * removed the old/never used setup program
        * cleaned up accounting (set umask, no chown/chmod)
        * cleaned up PPP log (set umask, no SUID check)

1998-12-05  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: killpppd() and stop if_timeout_timer in cancelbutton()
        * main.cpp: ignore SIGCHLDs in shutDown()
        * main.cpp: interface timeout error wasn't displayed anymore
        * modem.cpp: check for possible existance of stale lockfile before
        trying it to open via Requester::rq->openLockFile(). The resulting
        error message on failure was too confusing.
        * main.cpp: ignore SIGHUPs in child process

1998-12-04  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * requester.cpp: disable alarm() for now, silence some debug messages

1998-12-01  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: notify user about death of helper process and abort

1998-11-28  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: restored accidentally deleted line (setPassword())
        * connect.cpp: suppress warnings from QStrList

1998-11-26  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * included errno.h in opener.cpp and modified CMSG_DATA()'s
        argument (as suggested by Andreas Pour).
        * had to revert to SOCK_DGRAM since I keep getting failed
        assertions. Using a stream seems to require some attention in
        terms of ensuring that the correct length is received.

1998-11-26  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>
        
        * added missing rules for Switzerland, and added kppp.sh
        * replace SOCK_DGRAM by SOCK_STREAM, and hope that it works

1998-11-26  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * requester.cpp: made the ifdef's for cmsg_data more portable
        * requester.cpp, opener.cpp: include sys/uio.h to define struct
        iovec. As far as I can see this should work for systems with and
        without glibc. If it doesn't, please mail me directly.
 
1998-11-25  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * fixed a lot of rulefiles. Pentecost Monday is NOT easter+60,
          but easter+50. My TEMPLATE file contained this bug,
          and unfortunatly a lot of people copied it.
        * improved and new Switzerland rulefiles

1998-11-24  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: store pid of setuid child in PPPData object
        * define KERNEL_VERSION()

1998-11-24  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * fixed opener.cpp for Linux >= 2.1.0
        * removed PAP_UsePAP(), no longer needed

1998-11-23  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * requester.cpp: removed ancient #include "requester.moc"

1998-11-22  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: fixed freeze on disconnect by using waitpid(...,
        WNOHANG) instead of wait()
        * main.cpp: forgot to convert gpppdata.password to char*
        * opener.cpp: close file descriptors after being sent. Left out
        dup() call. Did it serve any special purpose ?
        * opener.h: increased allow size for username and passwords
        * modem.cpp: included config.h for HAVE_USLEEP
        (thanks to hpj.lisa@t-online.de (hpj) for reporting this)
        * PAP/CHAP: fixed typo and return value
                
1998-11-20  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * First draft of a client&server archicture consisting of setuid
        child process that will serve requests for file manipulation from
        the parent. The parent is doing all the GUI operations is running
        with normal user privileges. Assuming the approx. 300 lines still
        running setuid root will be intensively reviewed this should
        result in a kppp far less vulnerable to security exploits.
        * added requester.* and opener.*
        * TODO: - handle signals (SIGCHLD, SIGPIPE?)
                - get ppp_available() running (presumably broken now)
                - speed up reading the syslog (reading single chars now)

1998-11-17  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * another security hole fixed: the function make_directories() is
          no longer used, instead of a shell script make those directores.
          Since shell scripts do not run suid, this should be safe
        * fixed a bug in the main.cpp, at the calls to setPAPSecret() and
          setCHAPSecret().
        * fixed (void*)new Opener(...) to (void)new Opener(...)

1998-11-17  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * Security fix: fixed possible buffer overflow in findFileInPath()
        * Security fixes: re-checked all char[] on stack to be suid-safe
          If it is considere to be safe, a comment was added to the end of
          line

1998-11-17  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>  

        * removed another "extern" by making Accounting::getCosts(...) static

1998-11-17  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * further improvements in ppp-log wizard
        * runtests.cpp: test for Qt >= 1.40 before include header files

1998-11-11  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: allow a little delay after sending the volume
        string. Prevents it from getting eaten by the next command.
        Thanks to Craig Goodrich <craig@airnet.net> for providing the patch.

1998-11-11  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp: added header file to solve compilation problems

1998-11-04  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * got rid of two global variables

1998-11-04  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * kppp now checks itself if the kernel supports PPP (Linux only
        for now. If anyone wants this for another system - implement it!)
        * before dialing out, the check for PPP support is repeated, if
        the kernel module was unloaded between running the tests and the
        actual dialing, it will reloaded again  

1998-11-01  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modemcmds.cpp: added a wait&CR&wait sequence before sending the
        init string. This seems to be necessary to avoid locking some modems.

1998-10-29  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: fixed search&replace typo

1998-10-26  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * incorporated new Netherland rules (NetPoint)

1998-10-25  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * added updated rules for Spain

1998-10-06  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * repaired Makefile.am and reverted Hans Petter Bieker's changes
        to something more usefull.
        * added SecurityWidget, but currently there's not much use for
        this widget. Later on, it will allow root to specify who may use
        kppp and pppd.
        * removed the global variable miniIcon
        * removed the global variable dock_widget, replaced with a static
        class variable
        * added lockdevice() and unlockdevice() to the class modem. This
        will finally allow us to have a modem class which handles the
        device locking itself (yeah...)
        * removed the global var "modem", now a static member of the class
        "Modem"
        * modem.cpp: removed some global vars

1998-10-14  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * pppdata.cpp: don't care about CD line by default. We'll receive
        too many "bug reports" otherwise.

1998-10-13  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * ppplog.cpp: offer some advice based on keywords found in the log
        (very primitive so far, but may be extended later)

1998-10-09  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modem.cpp: additional data flushes
        * pppdata.cpp: don't need workaround for '$' with recent kde libraries

1998-10-05  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * better QuickHelp text, proof-read by a native english
        speaker. Thanks a lot to Martin A. Brown for doing this!

1998-10-04  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * miniterm.cpp: fixed toolbar

1998-10-03  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * modem.cpp: disentangled Modem class from other Widgets, i.e.
        removed the Multiple Inheritance I introduced earlier.
        Drawback: another global pointer :(
        * main.cpp: since KConfig neglects the real user id when creating
        config files we have to give kppprc back to the user ourself.
        * connect.cpp: pass something more useful to parseModemSpeed()  
        * removed lots of unused/redundant code and variables

1998-10-02  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * fixed that stupid segfault combined with the throughput graph
        * "make" did not set the suid bit anymore. Why? However, I fixed
        that

1998-09-29  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * fixed a bug in the graphing code
        * runtests.cpp: fixed typos

1998-09-28  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * ppplog.cpp: reduce memory consumption, small fixes
        * pppdata.cpp: fixed segfaults caused by non-readable kppprc

1998-09-28  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp: bail out if some evil-doer has manipulated $HOME

1998-09-26  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * cosmetic changes in ppplog.cpp

1998-09-24  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * Ownership of PPP logfiles corrected to the real, not the
        effective user id

1998-09-23  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * ppplog.cpp: skip remote message if empty
        * ppplog.cpp: fixed segfault triggered by virgin log files

1998-09-21  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * introducing quickhelp
        * forgot to add i18n to quickhelp entries, fixed this

1998-09-20  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * PPP-arguments dialog reworked 

1998-09-19  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * more QuickHelp
        * began to clean up layout management, it's a mess
        * added setup widget for the throughput graph
        * some code cleanups

1998-09-16  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * Added some more QuickHelp
        * The QLineEdit for fixed IP and netmask is not re-initialized
        with  "0.0.0.0" whenever you select "dynamic IP"
        * the scripting widget is disabled if authentication PAP or CHAP
        is selected
        
1998-09-15  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * replaced strings that span several lines with multiple
        strings, it seems that this was a GCC-only feature

1998-09-11  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * more code cleanups
        * fixed a bug in log.h (semicolon after a macro definition --
        brrr)
        * added quickhelp to many setup dialogs

1998-09-05  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * pppdata.cpp: fixed warnings
        * replaced readListConfig calls with calls to readWholeListConfig
        * and removed 'Whole' from function names afterwards
        * connect.cpp: sped up scripting loop by reducing calls to gpppdata

1998-08-29  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * In ConnectWidget::readtty(): after a newline or CR is received,
        the QSocketnotifier is disabled for 20ms to avoid reading too
        much, e.g. the start characters of the ppp protocol.
        * added compile option "NO_GRAPH" to disable the graph
        * removed the compile options "COMPILE_PIX" in pppstatsdlg.cpp,
        this is no longer needed or supported

1998-08-27  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * ppplog.cpp: use short named header file to keep Qt 1.33 users happy

1998-08-25  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * removed all QTimers for reading tty output, a QSocketNotifier is
        now used. Much better response time now, lower CPU usage!
        * "prompt" was deleted in the ConnectWidget destructor. Removed
        that
        * added telephone rule for Malaysia     

1998-08-24  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * connect.cpp: re-enabled closeEvent()
        * pppdata.cpp: dumped writeListConfig(). Will do the same with
        readListConfig() too ... next week.

1998-08-22  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * some KDE style guide conformant changes
        * some code cleanups
        * removed -lkfile and -lkfm from Makefile.am
        * added debug switch to pppd command line when debugging
        is turned on
        * Improved the response time for modem output. Modem output is
        polled in longer intervals, if data is pending the polling time
        is shortened, otherwise the polling time is set back to it's 
        original, rather high value
        * re-worked the "About" widget. It was time to save poor old Bernd
        from receiving bug-reports.
        * miniterm.cpp: code cleanups
        * improved responseness of MiniTerm, reduced CPU load
        * MiniTerm adheres to KDE Standards now (Help-Menu, ...)
        * The ATI query was broken. Fixed.
        * Improved the ATI query result window
        * modeminfo.cpp: code cleanups
        * main.cpp: code cleanup, banner updated
        * repaired the german "Tele-2" ruleset (was broken due to invalid
        characters)
        * added improved ruleset for Italy (thanks to Michele Manzato for
        supplying this ruleset)
        * fixed a few typos in the TEMPLATE
        * prepared a replacement for the debug-window
        * connwindow.cpp: code cleanups
        * began to remove the code dependencies between main.cpp
        (KPPPWidget) and the setup GUI components. This will help
        to separate the dialer and the setup later
        * general.cpp: code cleanups
        * accounts.cpp: removed as many references to p_kppp as possible,
        using signal/slots instead of. There's only on occurence of p_kppp
        left
        * general.cpp: removed the mysterious function itoa (nowhere used)
        * various files: a lot of code cleanups, removed many references
        to extern variables, reduced the amount of functions called from
        p_kppp directly (done with signal/slots now)    
        * Added a new parser for modem speeds. The results are much better
        now, especially for the new K56flex/X2/V.90 modems (where
        different speeds are used for RX/TX)
        * removed tons of "#ifdef MY_DEBUG" and replaced them with
        functions "Debug", which is provided in log.cpp and is a
        "printf()" like function
        * added modem volume selector to the setup.
        
1998-08-21  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * use SIGINT instead of SIGHUP to end a connection
        * implemented command line option 'kppp -k' that will
        terminate a connection
        
1998-08-21  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * Added a graphical display of the current modem line
        throughput.
        * Added an assistent for those "ppp has died" messages
        * Evaluating remote system messages now
        
1998-08-19  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>
        
        * added function to create a ppp - log
        * connect speed improvements

1998-08-18  Harri Porten  <porten@kde.org>

        * fixed security leak in execute_command(): drop setgid root and
        close file descriptors

1998-08-17  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * fixed a bug in runtest.cpp that caused a segfault (fclose()
        called twice)

1998-08-17  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * main.cpp: added SIGHUP handler that will cleanly disconnect an
        existing connection.

1998-08-09  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * miniterm.cpp: switched to QMenuBar, fixed memory leak

1998-08-08  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * modem.cpp: fixed hangup that occured if the modem power was off.
        hangup() aborts after 2 seconds if it doesn't suceed. 

1998-08-06  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * runtests.cpp: scan up to 100 lines when searching for the
        unwanted 'lock' in /etc/ppp/options and recognize the '#' sign
        to avoid a false alarm
        
1998-08-04  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * fixed replacement for systems without a BSD 4.2 style usleep()
        * modem.cpp: continued to move modem related stuff to modem.cpp.
        The new Modem class is inherited by the Connect-, MiniTerm- and
        ATI-Query Widget for now. This should be way easier to maintain and
        will reduce the binary's size.
        * modeminfo.cpp: cleaned up  
        
1998-08-02  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * opentty(): fixed XON/XOFF flow control
        * closetty(): flush data not read or transmitted
        * main.cpp: enforce killpppd()
        * modem.cpp: moved lockdevice(), unlockdevice() and modemspeed()
        into this newly created file. opentty(), closetty() and hangup()
        should follow soon to let them be shared between widgets.

1998-07-30  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * connect.cpp: take the burden of specifying the modem lock file
        from the user. Just entering the directory should be easier and
        safer. Presets for different systems can be found in kpppconfig.h 

1998-07-29  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * macros.h: replaced remaining MAX with QMAX
        * main.cpp: followed recommendation of the Unix Programming FAQ to
        use _exit() instead of exit() in child processes  

1998-07-25  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * connect.cpp: rewrote check for stale lock files. After dropping
        the use of /proc it should work on other platforms now, too.

1998-07-19  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * merged killppp() and terminatepppd() in killpppd()    
        * main.cpp: added execute_command() to launch external programms
        * added "Command Before Disconnect" for people who have to clean
        up before they leave the net

1998-07-11  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * main.cpp: replaced ~/.kde with kdelocaldir() 
        * connect.cpp: hardcoded '-detach´ as pppd argument

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KDE 1.0 released <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        
1998-06-21  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * general.cpp (GeneralWidget): modified checkbox-size to avoid
        warnings from QGManager

1998-06-18  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * edit.cpp (ScriptWidget): deactivated "Use default script"-option
        as long as someone comes up with a default script

1998-06-02  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * replaced klocale->translate() with i18n() and every reference to
        XPPP with KPPP
        * utilize 'kapp´ (defined in kapp.h) instead of the global ´extern
        KApplication *app'
        (Sorry about the large amount of changes, but I couldn't resist to 
        clean up the code)

1998-06-02  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * pppdata.cpp: removed workaround, since KConfig fix is in place now

Mon Jun  1 16:13:06 1998    Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * kppp did'nt like "$" in modem strings, fixed that
        
Sun May 24 23:39:42 1998  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@math.cornell.edu>

        * Applied FreeBSD patch for the modem devices
          Affected File:general.cpp pppdata.cpp
          Look for __FreeBSD__

Mon May 18 19:51:56 1998  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * introduced a separate log-viewer "kppplogview"
        * removed the no-more needed entry widget for the log-viewer
        * removed test code checking for log viewer

1998-05-15  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * pppdata.cpp: temporary workaround for KConfig bug concerning
        lists without a trailing separator 

Fri May 15 22:27:02 1998    Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>
        * removed the writeline("") once again, it does not work

1998-05-12  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * added support for multiple telephone numbers (separated by ':')
        Patch contributed by Sebastian Rittau <srittau@jroger.in-berlin.de>
        
Tue May 12 18:55:02 1998    Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * the format of the accounting logfile has changed to allow
          easier parsing from external files:
          
          the format is:
          CONNECT_TIME_FROM:CONNECTION_PEER:CURRENCY_SYMBOL: \
          CONNECT_TIME_UNTIL:SUBTOTAL:TOTAL:BYTES_IN_BYTES_OUT  

          there's a small tcl script which converts the log files. Simply
          use "tclsh convlog.tcl" will convert all log-files, but NOT
          delete the old ones.

Mon May  4 17:19:12 1998    Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * Austrian rule files updated
        * LSM updated
        * line-limit for /etc/resolv.conf raised to 128
        * fixed the hard-coded line-limit in removedns() to use
          MAX_RESOLV_CONF instead (128) 
        * added writeLine("") in connect.cpp to make sure that the modem
          is in ready state (waiting for AT*)
        * support for internal ISDN cards on Linux via modem emulation 
          (/dev/ttyI*)

1998-04-30  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * connect.cpp: undid my stupid PAP/CHAP changes from yesterday

1998-04-29  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * connect.cpp: prevented segfault on invalid lockfiles
        * runtests.cpp: /etc/resolv.conf will be created if missing 
        * connect.cpp: fixed reversal of command line options for PAP/CHAP

Tue Apr 28 20:57:04 1998    Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * added CHAP (client side only) authentication

1998-04-27  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * general.cpp (GeneralWidget): command line option "quit after
        end of connection" is availabe via GUI, too.
        * hangup(): made another usleep() adjustable to prevent hanging 
        (thanks to A.D.Y. Cheng <adyc100@hkstar.com> for pointing that out)

Fri Apr 24 18:57:46 1998    Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * general.cpp (GeneralWidget): removed the entry field for
          the path to the pppd binary

Fri Apr 24 13:03:02 1998    Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * runtests.cpp: kppp now does not allow anymore the user
          to specify a path to the pppd binary, but searches for
          it 
        * kppp now checks if pppd is owned by root
        * kppp does not anymore drop suid before starting pppd

Thu Apr 23 22:35:31 1998    Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * Fixed a few security holes: kppp drops suid before executing pppd,
          checks for buffer overflow with the -c command line switch,
          drops suid before checking a file with -r

Thu Apr 16 21:21:03 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * main.cpp: set portable locale settings for numerical values,
        since the rulefiles will always have a point as decimal delimiter.

1998-04-15  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * connect.cpp: extended parseargs() to deal with quoted arguments
        * fixed bug in 'Save' that made multiple use impossible.
        * enclosed username and password with quotes to ensure proper
        handling of whitespace characters
        * pap.cpp: fixed regexp to recognize entries in pap-secrets with
        usernames that are either quoted or preceeded by whitspace. Phew !
        That should eliminate one source of these "pppd died" errors.
        
Mon Apr  6 20:18:40 1998    <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * fixed a volume accounting bug
        * volume accounting is now configureable (bytes in, out, in/out)
        * added new feature (very usefull for sysadmins). If there's a
        file /etc/kppp.allow, only users from that file may use kppp to
        dial out. Format is one entry per line, comments begin with "#",
        users specified by their login names
        * fixed a bug where the PAP authetication record was only removed
        from /etc/ppp/pap-secrets if an external program is started on 
        login (stupid me :-)    

Wed Apr  1 21:09:05 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * connect.cpp: small fixes for 'Scan'

Tue Mar 31 18:54:13 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>
        
        * connect.cpp: corrected stripping of whitespace from 'scanvar'
        * main scripting loop idles until 'Scan' is completed
        * added new keyword 'Save' to store scanned strings
        * cleaned up add_domain(), adddns(), removedns() by adding data()
        calls where QString variables are passed as const char* parameters

Mon Mar 30 22:02:07 1998    <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * added volume accounting (currently, only inbytes are counted,
        but should be very easy to change). Unfortunatly, there's no
        method yet to reset the number of bytes, so you have to fiddle
        around in kppprc.       

Wed Mar 18 21:47:20 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * runtests.cpp: added check for 'lock' option in /etc/ppp/options.
        Hopefully, this check isn't too harsh and won't cause any false alarms.

Wed Mar 18 01:13:50 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * modemcmds.cpp: replaced 'Modem Sustains Fast Init' (from general.cpp)
        option by an adjustable 'Init Delay'. Some users reported that they
        had to increase the delay time to prevent kppp from hanging
        after ATZ.

Mon Mar 16 03:37:04 1998  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@math.cornell.edu>

        * command line options need to be parse after creating a KApplications
        due to some changes by Matthias in kapp I think.

1998-03-15  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * main.cpp: added mini-icon for all kppp windows, not just 
          the main window

Mon Mar  9 00:17:20 1998  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@math.cornell.edu>

        * added new script keyword 'scan', see the documentation.
          It allows for password challenges etc.

Tue Feb 24 19:19:44 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@kde.org>

        * pap.cpp, connect.cpp: removed the need for a "+ua" option
          for PAP. Unfortunatly this REQUIRES that kppp can write
          /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (either by running SUID root or
          by group permissions)

Fri Feb 13 01:12:19 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * loginterm.cpp: implemented the possibility to log in via
        a simple terminal window. Should have developed a generic widget
        that could have been shared by Miniterm, the debug window and
        loginterm, but I didn't want to touch the rest of the stuff yet.
        * kpppconfig.h: increased max. script size to 20

Thu Feb  5 22:00:55 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * pppdata.cpp: added pppdError() and setpppdError()
        * main.cpp: added new error message for timeout
        * removed last remaining command_on_disconnect bug (see Jan 24)

Sat Jan 31 19:56:03 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * main.cpp: in some cases kppp connected to an account 
        different from the one selected in the combo box. Added
        setAccount() in connectbutton() to fix that, hopefully.

Sun Jan 25 00:45:45 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * docking.cpp: included a hide() statement to cleanly undock
        the widget from the panel. Otherwise the window stayed invisible
        after one dock/undock-cycle.

Sat Jan 24 03:40:44 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * fixed a bug (occuring twice) that caused the if-statement for
        command_on_connect and command_on_disconnect to be always true.

Fri Jan 23 01:32:57 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * fixed alignment in conwindow.cpp's layout.

Wed Jan 21 03:22:43 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * prevented the password from being left in kppprc after the
        option 'Store password' has just been turned off
        
        * the ID & password field will be disabled if no account has
        been created yet

        * pppdata.cpp: removed absolute path for default log viewer
        to prevent warning messages upon first startup if KDE's location
        differs from /usr/local/kde

        * removed gpppdata.Id() and gpppdata.setId() since they have been
        replaced by storedUsername() and setStoredUsername()

Tue Jan 20 15:30:08 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * Sigh. After unintentionally deleting my account for the sixth
        time, I added a yesNo() dialog to confirm deleting an
        account. This is VERY important, because if you click on "Show
        log" and double-click onto a file to view it and you have the bad
        luck that the filename is just over the "Delete" button, the
        account will be gone.

        * runtests.cpp: gpppdata is now saved after modifications in
        runtests(), and the default log viewer is set correctly

Tue Jan 20 03:10:35 1998  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@math.cornell.edu>

        * tried to get the docking window to display a tooltip with transfer
        bytes statistics. Failed. Need to contact Matthias about it.
       
        * Removed the 'Dock' button. It is superfluous. Use the window
        close button to hide the window.

        * fixed the flicker problem that was reintroduced in pppstatdlg.cpp

        * fixed ( hopefully ) a hangup problem on busy redial caused
        by the  modem_in_connect_state varible in connect.cpp

Mon Jan 19 17:51:16 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * main.cpp: the setup dialog is now created on demand. Since in
        most cases we only dial out, creating the setup dialog is a waste
        of CPU and memory. This reduces memory by approx 200KB.

        * geometry managment added to PPP statistic window

        * tried to minimize dependencies on "main.h" by removing unneeded
        #includes

        * removed homedir.(cpp|h). It can be easily replaced with
        QDir::homeDirPath().

        * before doing anything else, a few tests will be started to
        ensure that i.e. the pppd binary is found...

Mon Jan 19 12:05:00 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * set default for get_dock_into_panel() to false as safety
          precaution
        
        * introduced docking. It allows kppp to be run as a small
          animated icon on the panel. Clicking on the icon with the left
          mouse button restores the regular window. The right button
          opens up a popup menu with other options.

Mon Jan 19 04:46:39 1998  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@math.cornell.edu>

        * reset PHONENUMBER_SIZE to 60. People with phone cards need lots
        space.

Fri Jan 16 21:41:08 1998  Stephan Kulow  <coolo@kde.org>

        * some improvements to the toplevel Makefile.am. rpath is very
        important for setuid programs

Fri Jan 16 19:04:35 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * Improved Makefiles. Now documentation and rulesets are correctly
        uninstalled with "make uninstall"

        * Toplevel Makefile.am improved. Subdir traversal is only done for
        installing, not for compiling

        * fixed that "segfault-on-rulecheck" bug introduced by coolo's
        modifications for locale support.

        * RuleSet::checkRuleFile() now returns 0 on success, otherwise
        1. kppp uses this as exit value.

        * fixed a bug in the swiss rulesets

        * added file "checkrules" in Rules. It autochecks all rules found
        and reports bad rulesets.

Thu Jan 15 20:31:14 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * Ported kppp to use automake. 

        * Since the rulefiles now have separate subdirectories, I have
        removed the prefix (i.e. Spain/Spain_Inovia.rst -->
        Spain/Inovia.rst). Since the old files still exist it should be no
        problem for users of former kppp versions.

        * renamed config.h to kpppconfig.h because it conflicts with the
        default include file config.h, generated from autoconf

Wed Jan 14 12:12:29 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * main.cpp: pressing Enter in ID_Edit moves focus to PW_Edit, in
        PW_Edit moves focus to the connect-button

Wed Jan 14 04:13:57 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * fixed a bug that caused passwords to be spread among other accounts.
          Triggering XPPPWidget::entryChanged() had a nasty side effect. 

Tue Jan 13 17:50:07 1998  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@math.cornell.edu>

        * fixed a bug introduced with the creation of the 'execute command
          on disconnect' option

        * CD is by default off. It doesn't work on my internal modem 
          and I suspect it might not even work on most (all) internal modems ..

Tue Jan 13 12:02:33 1998  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@sime.com>
        * the PAP authentication file is now created in the users
          homedirectory. Otherwise I'd have to create the directory 
          myself and fix the permissions if kppp runs suid root - 
          I'm too lazy for that.

        * fixed a security bug in connect.cpp, a typical buffer
          overflow. Very bad for setuid root programs

Thu Jan 13 06:58:29 1998  Peter Silva <peter.silva@videotron.ca>

        * make new behaviour optional (in response to Bernd's worry 
          about cheap modems.)

Thu Jan 13 06:58:29 1998  Peter Silva <peter.silva@videotron.ca>

        * patch to prevent kppp hang if modem is off when connecting.


Tue Jan 13 02:48:55 1998  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@math.cornell.edu>

        * applied BSD patch from Alex <garbanzo@hooked.net>
          (just a few missing includes)

        * various fixes and geometry improvements

        * added a linedit for a command to be executed on disconnect
        

Mon Jan 12 17:18:41 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * username and password are now remembered between
        session. Remembering the password can be switched off for each
        account.

        * connect.cpp: fixed 2 security bugs in lockfile(). Now it's
        checked if the lockfile is a regular file and no more than
        32 characters are read from this file, no matter how long it is.

        * Added PAP authentication option and code. Using PAP (at least
        client-side-authentication should now be VERY easy. Sorry,
        no CHAP support so far.
        
        * edit.cpp: Added a checkbox if to use kppp's default script.
        If this checkbox is checked, all scriptedit controls are disabled.

Sun Jan 11 21:03:00 1998  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@math.cornell.edu>

        * lslisder in modemcmd.cpp wasn't set correctely on widget
          creation. 


Thu Jan 11 14:58:29 1998  Peter Silva <peter.silva@videotron.ca>
        * (0.8.10) incorporate iconify_on_connect patch.


Sat Jan 10 21:23:10 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * main.cpp: fixed a bug that cause kppp to go wild and display
        hundreds of windows when it cannot load a ruleset file

Wed Jan  7 13:00:24 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * edit.cpp: improved the IP and Gateway widgets

        * various improvements for the geometry managements

Tue Jan  6 12:56:14 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * main.cpp: the main kppp window has now layout control

        * connect.cpp: layouted the connection window.

        * modeminfo.cpp (ModemInfo): layoutet the modeminfo dialog
          and layouted the ModemTransfer dialog (ATI query)

Mon Jan  5 20:59:00 1998  Harri Porten  <porten@tu-harburg.de>

        * accounting.cpp: telephone costs are stored in kppprc now.
          ~/.kde/share/apps/kppp/Costs is obsolete.
        * pppdata.cpp: added totalCosts() and setTotalCosts().
          Several small cosmetic changes.  
        
Mon Jan  5 14:25:37 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * docs/kppp.sgml: updated the docs for the new KDE file system
          standard. Ispell'ed the docu.

        * main.cpp: added the "-q" command line switch. This is very
          usefull in combination with "-c". Instead of returning to
          the kppp main window kppp will exit after disconnecting.

        * Makefile.in: removed the external moc_*.cpp files and
          included them directly with "#include". This saves 
          approx. 30 KB in the binary and greatly speeds up 
          compilation

Mon Jan  5 13:59:20 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * Rules/TEMPLATE: fixed a typo: the extension of ruleset
          files is ".rst", not ".rts"

Mon Jan  5 13:42:28 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * general.cpp: replaced the KIntLineEdit class with the
          class KIntegerLine from libkdeui. Replaced the progress
          widget with that from libkdeui.

Mon Jan  5 12:51:43 1998  Mario Weilguni  <mweilguni@sime.com>

        * edit.cpp: now all major dialogs use Qt layout

Mon Jan  5 04:55:58 1998  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@petit.cornell.edu>

        * fixed the while(*it) problem in pppdata.cpp it should be
          while(it->current()).

Sun Jan  4 13:54:12 1998  Mario Weilguni <mweilguni@sime.com>
        * modified the modemcommands dialog to use the layout
          classes of Qt. Replaced the scrollbar with a slider,
          because scrollbars are not the right widget to change
          values.

Thu Jan  2 00:25:03 1998  Peter Silva <peter.silva@videotron.ca>
        * added modem_in_connect_state, and checks for it
          to avoid unneccessary delays on modem initialization.
          delay of 2 seconds will still occur on hangup by default.
          I think that's bearable.
        * Added modem tricks section, gentle introduction.

Thu Dec 25 11:46:34 1997  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@petit.cornell.edu>

        * Added new script keywords: PwPrompt and ID
        * Added ID and Password LineEdits on the main dialog window
        * KConfig transition is now complete, one more time the data
          storage format has changed. ( Hopefully the last time )

        * All sorts of little cosmetic changes
        * fixed up the mini-terminal a bit

Sun Dec 22 23:00:03 1997  Peter Silva <peter.silva@videotron.ca>

        * To fix hangup problems:
        * Added programmable guard time around escape sequence
        * Separated escape sequence from hangup command

Sun Dec 21 10:19:18 1997  Peter Silva <peter.silva@videotron.ca>

        * Changed maxloopnest to MAXLOOPNEST for portability reasons 
          (See developers guide, about const int)
        * Set window titles when connected to account name.

Fri Dec 19 22:49:18 1997  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@petit.cornell.edu>

        * Extended the grammar of the tarif rules. 
          New keyword: flat_init_costs necessitated by the new french
          accounting rules.

Tue Dec 16 01:54:50 1997  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@petit.cornell.edu>

        * extended scripting capabilities to allow password dialogs

Sun Nov  2 14:02:31 1997  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@petit.cornell.edu>

        * accounts.cpp: applied mario's patches to the rulessets. Now deals
          with fractions too. 
        * accounts.cpp: fixed the bug that caused kppp to reset the costs 
          even if you chose cancel.
        * docs/kppp.sgml: doc updates and corrections

Fri Aug 15 21:25:05 1997  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@petit.cornell.edu>

        * connect.cpp: leaving the lock file name edit blank will cause
        kppp not to create lock files. That is this turn the use of lock files off

        * added option to not disconnect on xserver exit/crash

Sun Aug 10 19:07:07 1997  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@petit.cornell.edu>

        * kppp will no automatically disconnect on X-server exit

Sun Jul 20 17:26:58 1997  Bernd Johannes Wuebben  <wuebben@petit.cornell.edu>

        * fixed bug in phone cost accounting
