| 3 | Changes from Version 3.9 to 3.10: (30 June 2008) |
| 4 | |
| 5 | - Fixed compilation problems on various platforms. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - The Makefiles now use (standard) DESTDIR instead of (non-standard) |
| 8 | RPM_INSTALL_ROOT to relocate installed files. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | - Spec file has been updated (it had languished since 3.6.) |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Changes from Version 3.8 to 3.9: (21 June 2008) |
| 13 | |
| 14 | - pppoe-server has new "-x" option to limit the number of sessions per |
| 15 | MAC address. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | - Added proper timeout handling while waiting for PADO/PADS. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - Fix race condition with some access concentrators that move very quickly |
| 20 | into session mode (problem noted by Luigi Sgro) |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - Fixed compilation problem on BSD. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | - Fixed compilation problems with old versions of gcc |
| 25 | |
| 26 | - Remove superfluous options in scripts/pppoe-connect.in |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Changes from Version 3.7 to 3.8: (2 April 2006) |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - Adjusted code and made it possible to disable debugging code to shrink |
| 31 | size of pppoe executable. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | - Fixed bug in MD5 code that caused pppoe-server to segfault on 64-bit |
| 34 | machines. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | - Made various functions and variables static that didn't need to be visible |
| 37 | outside their source files. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Changes from Version 3.6 to 3.7: |
| 40 | |
| 41 | - Fixed typo in the firewall-standalone sample firewall script. |
| 42 | Fix courtesy of Robert Vogelgesang <vogel@users.sourceforge.net> |
| 43 | |
| 44 | - Added -O option to pppoe-server to let you specify a different default |
| 45 | options file for pppd instead of /etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options |
| 46 | Feature courtesy of Robert Vogelgesang <vogel@users.sourceforge.net> |
| 47 | |
| 48 | - Fixed some silliness and incorrectness in configure.in. |
| 49 | Feature courtesy of Robert Vogelgesang <vogel@users.sourceforge.net> |
| 50 | |
| 51 | - Fixed a typo in pppoe-connect.in that made it fail if used with the |
| 52 | kernel-mode plugin. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | - Make pppoe-server prepend "nic-" to interface name if used with |
| 55 | kernel-mode plugin. This lets you use interfaces that don't start |
| 56 | with "eth" more easily. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Changes from Version 3.5 to 3.6: |
| 60 | |
| 61 | - Changed the names of commands from adsl-* to pppoe-* to more logically |
| 62 | name the scripts. NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY: |
| 63 | |
| 64 | OLD NAME NEW NAME |
| 65 | adsl-start pppoe-start |
| 66 | adsl-stop pppoe-stop |
| 67 | adsl-status pppoe-status |
| 68 | adsl-connect pppoe-connect |
| 69 | adsl-setup pppoe-setup |
| 70 | |
| 71 | - Changed sample firewall scripts to use iptables instead of the old ipchains |
| 72 | command. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | - Updated KERNEL-MODE-PPPOE instructions to reflect more modern pppd that |
| 75 | is commonly distributed. |
| 76 | |
| 77 | - Make the userland pppoe daemon run as "nobody" if possible, once session |
| 78 | has started. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | - Make userland pppoe program somewhat safe if it is installed SUID or |
| 81 | SGID. Note that I still do *NOT* recommend a SUID/SGID pppoe. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | - Fix long-standing bug in pppoe-server that passed arguments to pppd in the |
| 84 | wrong order. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | - Fix kernel-mode plugin. It was broken by changes to pppd. The pppd |
| 87 | maintainers fixed their version of the plugin, but neglected to inform me. |
| 88 | Thanks a lot, guys! |
| 89 | |
| 90 | - Make plugin accept argument of the form "nix-XXXX" to force it to use |
| 91 | device "XXXX" as the Ethernet interface. This allows the use of devices |
| 92 | whose names do not start with "eth" |
| 93 | |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Changes from Version 3.4 to 3.5: |
| 96 | |
| 97 | - Fixes for compilation on Solaris. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | |
| 100 | Changes from Version 3.3 to 3.4: |
| 101 | |
| 102 | - INCOMPATIBILITY WITH EARLIER VERSIONS: |
| 103 | Kernel-mode plugin now is built against latest CVS ppp source rather than |
| 104 | Michal Ostrowski's patched version. If you use kernel-mode PPPoE, you |
| 105 | MUST use the CVS version of the ppp source code with rp-pppoe 3.4. |
| 106 | |
| 107 | - Print PPPoE session number when connection terminates. Thanks to |
| 108 | Alexander Dalloz for suggesting this. |
| 109 | |
| 110 | - Fixed a bug in MSS clamping -- it now works with protocol-field compression. |
| 111 | Thanks to Gerd v. Egidy for the patch. |
| 112 | |
| 113 | - Ignore SIGINT and SIGTERM so LCP termination packets make it out. |
| 114 | |
| 115 | |
| 116 | Changes from Version 3.2 to 3.3: |
| 117 | |
| 118 | - Client works on Solaris again. It was broken in 3.2. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | - Added DEFAULTROUTE=yes|no option to configuration file. |
| 121 | |
| 122 | - Server parses address pool file better. |
| 123 | |
| 124 | - Server address pool allows ranges of addresses on a line: a.b.c.d-e |
| 125 | |
| 126 | - Added "-d" (=debug) and "-P" (=check pool file syntax) options to |
| 127 | pppoe-server. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | |
| 130 | Changes from Version 3.1 to 3.2: |
| 131 | |
| 132 | - Client now ignores PADT's if they are from the wrong source MAC address |
| 133 | or to the wrong destination MAC address. |
| 134 | |
| 135 | - Minor fixes to Makefile.in for Turbolinux. |
| 136 | |
| 137 | |
| 138 | Changes from Version 3.0 to 3.1: |
| 139 | |
| 140 | - Improved KERNEL-MODE-PPPOE instructions |
| 141 | |
| 142 | - Works with patched pppd 2.4.1 |
| 143 | |
| 144 | - Many improvements to server: Added "-u" and "-r" options; server can |
| 145 | now respond to request on multiple Ethernet interfaces. |
| 146 | |
| 147 | - SECURITY BUG FIX: Server now ignores PADT's if they are from the wrong |
| 148 | source MAC address. You are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to upgrade to 3.1 |
| 149 | if you use pppoe-server in production. |
| 150 | |
| 151 | |
| 152 | Changes from Version 2.8 to 3.0: |
| 153 | |
| 154 | - Many small improvements to server. Server now only makes one |
| 155 | discovery socket, systemwide, with addition of "-n" option to pppoe. |
| 156 | |
| 157 | - Fixes for compilation problems on BSD, Solaris and some Linux platforms. |
| 158 | |
| 159 | - Added "-p" option to pppoe-server to allow you to specify a pool of |
| 160 | IP addresses to assign to clients. |
| 161 | |
| 162 | - Added GUI system (tkpppoe). This work was funded by Iospan |
| 163 | Wireless, Inc. The GUI includes a Set-UID wrapper (pppoe-wrapper) |
| 164 | which allows ordinary users to control a link (if so authorized.) |
| 165 | I believe the wrapper script is secure, but please audit the |
| 166 | source code (gui/wrapper.c) if you have any concerns. |
| 167 | |
| 168 | - Changes to scripts and pppoe.conf. DNS setup is now dynamic (happens |
| 169 | each time adsl-connect runs.) |
| 170 | |
| 171 | - Made relay.c check packet lengths rigorously; made it throw out Ethernet |
| 172 | frame padding on session packets as well as discovery packets. |
| 173 | |
| 174 | |
| 175 | Changes from Version 2.7 to 2.8: |
| 176 | |
| 177 | - Added init scripts for TurboLinux, courtesy of Yasuhiro Sumi. |
| 178 | |
| 179 | - Made relay.c check packet lengths rigorously; made it throw out Ethernet |
| 180 | frame padding on discovery packets. |
| 181 | |
| 182 | *** NOTE: 2.7 was not released publicly |
| 183 | |
| 184 | |
| 185 | Changes from Version 2.6 to 2.7: |
| 186 | |
| 187 | - Completely restructured source file tree. |
| 188 | |
| 189 | - Much internal restructuring to eliminate a bunch of global variables. |
| 190 | |
| 191 | - adsl-connect now executes /etc/ppp/adsl-lost whenever connection is dropped |
| 192 | or cannot be established. |
| 193 | |
| 194 | - Split pppoe.c into pppoe.c and discovery.c. |
| 195 | |
| 196 | - Added relay agent (pppoe-relay). |
| 197 | |
| 198 | - Made adsl-connect script use the "-U" (host-unique) option to better support |
| 199 | multiple PPPoE links. |
| 200 | |
| 201 | - Added support for kernel-mode PPPoE (EXPERIMENTAL, UNSUPPORTED!) |
| 202 | |
| 203 | - Added "-o" option to PPPoE server; encoded server PID in pppoe-server |
| 204 | cookie. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | |
| 207 | Changes from Version 2.5 to 2.6: |
| 208 | |
| 209 | - Code should now compile cleanly on Caldera and Slackware Linux |
| 210 | |
| 211 | - Fixed rp-pppoe.spec file to work on Mandrake and Red Hat. |
| 212 | |
| 213 | - Deleted some obsolete files |
| 214 | |
| 215 | - Fixed bug in Solaris/x86 port (thanks to Philippe Levan) |
| 216 | |
| 217 | - Made shell scripts nicer under Solaris (again, Philippe Levan) |
| 218 | |
| 219 | - Made adsl-status look under /var/run and /etc/ppp for PID files. Should |
| 220 | fix problems with NetBSD. |
| 221 | |
| 222 | - Added PPPD_EXTRA to pppoe.conf; made the PID file depend on the config |
| 223 | file name. This makes it easier to run multiple PPPoE sessions. |
| 224 | |
| 225 | |
| 226 | Changes from Version 2.4 to 2.5: |
| 227 | |
| 228 | - Tested for zero-length TCP option-length field, and for reverse-packing |
| 229 | of type/code bitfields. Thanks to Robert Schlabbach for pointing out |
| 230 | these problems. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | - Set umask to 077 in adsl-setup.in to protect created files like |
| 233 | /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. |
| 234 | |
| 235 | |
| 236 | Changes from Version 2.3 to 2.4: |
| 237 | |
| 238 | - Fixed spec file to automatically add .gz extension to man files as required |
| 239 | |
| 240 | - Tightened firewall rules. |
| 241 | |
| 242 | - Better check for /var/run in adsl-status; minor shell script fixes and |
| 243 | cleanups for NetBSD and Solaris. |
| 244 | |
| 245 | - Added FAQ to HOW-TO-CONNECT regarding running a script each time a |
| 246 | connection is made. |
| 247 | |
| 248 | |
| 249 | Changes from Version 2.2 to 2.3: |
| 250 | |
| 251 | - Fixed the init script to create/remove /var/lock/subsys/adsl (patch |
| 252 | courtesy of Charley Carter.) |
| 253 | |
| 254 | - Added support (under Linux) for N_HDLC line discipline which should |
| 255 | greatly reduce CPU usage. My tests show it cuts CPU usage in half. |
| 256 | My 486 DX2/66 gets 800 kb/s at 22% CPU usage. |
| 257 | |
| 258 | - adsl-connect uses "setsid" (if available) so that adsl-stop doesn't kill |
| 259 | its caller. There is (IMO) a bug in pppd which kills all processes in |
| 260 | its process group if the "pty" option is used. The setsid program gets |
| 261 | around this bug, on Linux at least. |
| 262 | |
| 263 | - Port to Solaris, courtesy of David Holland. |
| 264 | |
| 265 | - Renamed spec file from "spec" to "rp-pppoe.spec" and made some cleanups. |
| 266 | NOTE: Red Hat, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make the new RPM |
| 267 | compress man pages automatically. You may have problems building RPM's |
| 268 | from source unless you get the latest rpm package and make sure it |
| 269 | compresses man pages. |
| 270 | |
| 271 | |
| 272 | Changes from Version 2.1 to 2.2: |
| 273 | |
| 274 | - Added "-f" option to pppoe to allow use of any Ethernet frame type |
| 275 | for PPPoE. USE WITH CAUTION -- this is a workaround for broken DSL |
| 276 | providers, not something you should monkey with freely! |
| 277 | |
| 278 | - Added pppoe-sniff program to help expose non-standard PPPoE implementations. |
| 279 | |
| 280 | |
| 281 | Changes from Version 2.0 to 2.1: |
| 282 | |
| 283 | - Fixed minor bugs in bounds-checking |
| 284 | |
| 285 | - Modified adsl-status to use output of "netstat -r -n" to determine whether |
| 286 | or not link is up. This should make it independent of locale, I hope! |
| 287 | |
| 288 | - Added "-k" and "-d" options to pppoe. |
| 289 | |
| 290 | |
| 291 | Changes from Version 1.9 to 2.0: |
| 292 | |
| 293 | - Addition of pppoe-server |
| 294 | |
| 295 | - Massive internal code restructuring |
| 296 | |
| 297 | - Zealous bounds-checking everywhere. |
| 298 | |
| 299 | - adsl-setup now quotes user name and password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. |
| 300 | |
| 301 | - Ported to OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD, courtesy of Geoff Mottram |
| 302 | and Yannis Sismanis. |
| 303 | |
| 304 | - Rearranged adsl-* shell scripts, courtesy of Heiko Schlittermann. |
| 305 | |
| 306 | - Fixed bug in which Host-Uniq did not work if access concentrator sent |
| 307 | a cookie. |
| 308 | |
| 309 | - Addition of SuSE-specific "init" script, courtesy of Gary Cameron. |
| 310 | |
| 311 | |
| 312 | Changes from Version 1.8 to 1.9: |
| 313 | |
| 314 | - Added some more documentation to HOW-TO-CONNECT |
| 315 | |
| 316 | - Demand-dialling option now works correctly |
| 317 | |
| 318 | - SIGHUP terminates pppoe after sending a PADT to the access concentrator |
| 319 | |
| 320 | - Minor cleanups to connection shell scripts |
| 321 | |
| 322 | |
| 323 | Changes from Version 1.7 to 1.8: |
| 324 | |
| 325 | - Added demand-dialling option |
| 326 | |
| 327 | - Clarified HOW-TO-CONNECT |
| 328 | |
| 329 | - Added adsl-status script |
| 330 | |
| 331 | - Added "restart" and "status" options to Red Hat /etc/rc.d/init.d/adsl script |
| 332 | |
| 333 | - Made adsl-setup check for existence of pppd |
| 334 | |
| 335 | - Wildcarded external interface in firewall rules |
| 336 | |
| 337 | - Made pppoe send a PADT frame if connection is terminated |
