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!
