Revision history for Perl extension Device::Modem. 1.56 Thu Sep 29 13:43:31 CEST 2011 - [RT#71330] Unbroken the MANIFEST file. 1.55 was non functional. Thanks to Vita Cizek for reporting. 1.55 [BROKEN RELEASE. AVOID] Fri Sep 23 22:01:31 CEST 2011 - Performance improvements by Ed Wildgoose, long time user. Thanks Ed! Windows users, please test this release! 1.54 Sun May 29 20:53:23 AEST 2011 - Removed uninitialized warning on $obj->{'CONNECTED'}. Fixes RT #68504. 1.53 Thu Apr 01 13:49:00 CET 2010 - ***CHANGED*** default log file position from /var/log/modem.log to /tmp/modem.log. Too many failed tests and user reports made me reconsider my poor default choice. - Added voice dialing. Just dialing though. You can't perform real voice calls through Device::Modem (yet :) Thanks to Marek Jaros. - Added ';' (voice dialing) and 'p' (pause) as valid values for dial() number. 1.52 Sun Mar 28 15:50:00 CET 2010 - Added automatic port reconnection in the port() method. This should improve connection reliability and reduce risk of "Can't call method XXXXXX on undefined value YYYYYY" errors. 1.51 Sun Jul 5 09:46:08 CEST 2009 - Fixed documentation for answer() method, timeout was declared to be in seconds instead of milliseconds. Thanks to Mikko Puisto for reporting. 1.50 Tue Sep 30 22:59:00 CEST 2008 - Fixed use of wrong 'error' loglevel for SysLog plugin 1.49 Sat May 31 22:38:00 CEST 2008 - Changed default wait cycles and timeout to be more reliable with slow devices after several user reports. - Fixed man page for Xmodem.pm module. Incorporated fix from the debian package. 1.48 Sun Jun 24 09:30:16 CEST 2007 - atsend() method made more reliable with longer commands (ex. longer sms messages). Thanks to Ben Knight for his bug report and patch. 1.47 Thu Apr 20 22:16:17 CET 2006 - Sensible speedup in the command/response cycle. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for his contribution. 1.46 1.45 Tue Nov 15 23:29:40 CET 2005 - Fixed dial() now it does not wait for timeout in presence of a valid remote response (NO CARRIER, BUSY, ...) - Fine tuned answer read cycle times - Added constant $Device::Modem::WAITCMD for wait time before issuing commands (atsend) - Added patch to make Xmodem work from Aaron Mitti <amitti at 10east dot com>. - Now dial() accepts also '#' sign in numbers (thanks to Pierre Hilson). 1.44 Sat Apr 30 23:29:03 CET 2005 - (again) now cygwin and darwin platforms should be detected correctly. (thanks to Rob Johnson for reporting) - added a preliminary version of Device::Modem::UsRobotics module, that allows to access voice/fax messages stored on your UsRobotics message modem. Read the (incomplete) docs for more details. 1.42 Sun Sep 19 21:12:10 CET 2004 - little fix for correct MacOSX os detection and SerialPort inclusion (thanks to Lidie Steve for reporting) 1.39 1.38 1.37 Wed Aug 18 09:21:50 CET 2004 - parse_answer() now in scalar context (string) returns *all* modem answer instead of removing the last string (OK/ERROR/...) - documented new example scripts: caller-id.pl and xmodem.pl 1.36 1.35 1.34 Sun Feb 22 18:12:54 CET 2004 - fixed CPAN bug #5131 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5131) - closed CPAN bug #5134 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5134) - dial() now should return correctly after a successful connect, without unnecessarily waiting for timeout - updated changes file missing in 1.35 1.33 1.32 1.31 Fri Jan 23 01:14:01 CET 2004 - Improved reliability in answer() method (sempre lui!), that was more unstable due to recent changes. - Documented _answer() internal function to get the raw modem reponse instead of response string stripped of all cr/lf chars. 1.29 1.30 Sat Nov 8 18:23:02 CET 2003 - improved answer() method speed. Now it runs sensibly faster, but needs explicit timeout parameter if you want to wait for answers (dialing a remote modem, for example) - implemented a basic xmodem file transfer. *DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS* - documentation now stays only in docs/ folder, separate from main module - now there is a way to get the raw modem answers (internal _answer() method) 1.25 1.26 1.27 1.28 Sun May 18 17:19:23 CET 2003 - dial() now works as expected, returning the `CONNECT' or `BUSY' or whatever message without hanging for minutes; - answer() routine now is definitely more reliable than before: now everytime the buffer receives input from modem, it does not restart counting the timeout. Removed also the possibility of infinite loop if modem always receives garbage chars (like on a RAW PPP link); - Added full documentation for every method; - Added a FAQ document in new "docs/" folder; - new(): added possibility to pass a custom log object as `log' property; - fixed log levels for File and Syslog plugins. Implemented correct log level masking also for Syslog. 1.23 Wed Dec 4 00:34:52 CET 2002 - little documentation adjustments in main Modem.pm class; - removed use of `warnings.pm' - now File log class opens the log file once and writes on already opened file handle, until final close(). - Thanks to Joerg Neuberger for spotting out a problem with older perls (5.005_xx) and `use warnings' 1.19 1.20 Thu Sep 12 00:19:11 CEST 2002 1.22 Thu Sep 26 00:16:49 CEST 2002 - improved command/response cycle with proper handling of timeout and idle/data cycles. Now it is more reliable also with fairly big serial messages (removed this from TODO list). - removed warnings on undefined answer strings. 1.17 1.18 Tue Sep 3 21:57:11 CEST 2002 - removed some warnings and error in regexp pattern, slight changes in documentation 1.16 Mon Jun 17 21:58:22 CEST 2002 - added S_register() method to read/write S-registers; - store_number() to store an address-book number (cannot retrieve yet); - restore_factory_settings() now accepts a number of profile (default=0); - dial() now dials also address book numbers (only if supplied number is composed of 1 digit: the address book position, from 0 to 9). - status() method added, which looks up CTS, DSR, RLSD and RING signals; 1.15 Tue Jun 04 23:20:12 CEST 2002 - modified makefile/test procedure to pass automated cpan tests 1.14 Mon Jun 03 21:53:05 CEST 2002 - added is_active() method to test if modem ... (guess :-) - tested, now seems to work, dial() method - fixed a *bad* bug in modem answer parsing routine - better timing and less waits in AT commands - moved "PRE-ALPHA" to "ALPHA" :-) 1.10 Wed Apr 10 00:11:35 CEST 2002 - modified docs, license details - fixed wrong hangup() call 1.08 Wed Apr 3 23:31:58 CEST 2002 - fixed logging classes auto-load mechanism - added parse_answer() function, to easily retrieve informational responses - added TO-DO list to pod 1.07 Wed Apr 3 22:05:00 CEST 2002 - renamed `serial' parameter as `port', syncing with existent docs - removed some warnings on parameters passing 1.05 Sat Mar 30 16:19:40 CET 2002 - added and documented dial() and repeat(), still to be tested! 1.04 Mon Mar 25 07:37:20 CET 2002 - cleaned up docs and some of source code 0.01 Tue Feb 26 22:15:22 CET 2002 - original version; created by h2xs 1.20 with options -A -X -n Device::Modem -v 0.01
