Changes to Empire 4.2.20 - Thu Mar 17 21:34:13 UTC 2005
* Log and abort when LWP stack check detects stack smash. Server
option -s no longer implies -p.
* The native Windows build now supports -p and -s.
* The native Windows build now properly deals with ^C when running in
the foreground. It no longer prompts for a quit command on the
terminal.
* The meaning of server option -D in presence of -e is unclear.
Other programs only support -e. Remove option -D. Use -e
DIR/econfig instead of -D DIR.
* New server option -v shows version information.
* Fix the server's exit status with -h broken in 4.2.19.
* The linux-pthreads build failed to shut down on signals.
* Fix threading bugs in the native Windows build that made shutdown
unsafe and screwed up update aborting commands.
* New econfig key pre_update_hook to allow automatic, safe backup
right before the update. See scripts/backup for an example.
* The server now prints log messages to stderr as well when running
in the foreground.
* Fix potential buffer overflows in logerror() and lwpStatus().
* Server now requires POSIX signals. It no longer catches SIGUSR1.
* Remove support for ancient versions of HP-UX.
* Fix seeding of PRNG broken in 4.2.19.
* Don't reseed the PRNG in commands, it hurts randomness and could be
abused by crafty players.
* The server now makes the data directory its working directory.
This also gets rid of a bug that changed the file name of the
sector, power, nation and lostitems file unless econfig could not
be read.
* The server now writes a pid file. Thanks to Daniel O'Connor.
* More user friendly server startup: more errors are detected while
the server still runs in the foreground, which makes it possible to
complain to stderr and to exit unsuccessfully.
* Early log messages went to the log file in the default data
directory, even though econfig specifies another data directory.
* Specifying an econfig file on the command line that can't be read
is now fatal.
* Errors in econfig are now fatal.
* The server now refuses to start when it can't open data files.
* News are now sorted and expire sanely.
* Conditionals can now compare strings as well.
* Corrupted down and motd files could cause buffer overflows.
* Fix recon to let player abort at the flight path prompt.
* power no longer rounds worldwide numbers for deities.
* power command failed to recognize deities with non-zero country
number.
* Change output of production command so that columns are aligned
even for large values. Replace column wkfc by more useful column
avail.
* neweff and production miscalculated work when mil exceeded
population limit.
* neweff miscalculated work when the population limit exceeded 999.
* Fix capping of avail when a big city is torn down.
* Fix a bug in fire that allowed players to find all submarine uids.
* Maximum sector population is no longer hardcoded, and now covered
by xdump. Option RES_POP now affects mountains and plains as
well. From Ray Hyatt.
* Fix fina and news not to ignore errors in conditions.
* The native Windows build now requires Windows Sockets 2.
* The native Windows build now supports multiple instances of the
service. The ability to supply additional startup parameters to
the service has been removed.
* Implement fairland command line parsing under Windows.
* Improved fairland and emp_server usage message.
* Code cleanups.
* Minor info file and documentation fixes.
* Much of the above was contributed by Ron Koenderink. Many thanks!
