1.2.7 - Released 05-12-2002
---------------------------------
- Bug 1840 - Problem with syslog default destination on HP-UX. HPUX uses
a default device of /dev/log.un rather than /dev/log.
- Bug 1844 - DisplayLogin %y macro is off by 1. Consequence of scoreboarding
code changes.
- Bug 1838 - Since 1.2.6: in add_useralias() setting flag CF_MERGEDOWN breaks
aliased anonymous functionality. The fix was to set the CF_MERGEDOWN flag
only if the UserAlias directive is not being used in the <Anonymous>
context.
- Bug 1812 - Double logging lines for ExtendedLog. No need to merge this
particular directive down.
- Bug 1848 - undefined reference to `halfdelay'. curses does not seem to
provide this function, as ncurses does. The patch works around this by
using halfdelay() if linking against ncurses, and using nodelay() and sleep()
if linking against curses.
- Bug 1839 - undefined reference to `get_fs_size'. Expand BSD
statfs()/statvfs() support beyond FreeBSD.
- Bug 1680 - Error in startup script. Add /usr/local/sbin/ to the included
rc script's $PATH
- Bug 1852 - Proftpd gets signal 11 on "quote site". The mod_site module
was not properly checking the number of parameters for SITE commands.
- Bug 1856 - TimesGMT acts like default is 'off'. The default for this
directive was inadvertently set to "off", rather than the documented default
setting of "on".
- Bug 1853 - SyslogFacility: unable to open syslog. This turned out to be
due to the fact that /dev/log on Solaris (and other platforms?) is a
STREAMS device, which requires open() and putmsg(), rather than connect()
and send().
- 1846 - File overwrites fail. Tracked down by Sergei Rozinov to involve
uninitialized stack data.
- Bug 1861 - 'ftpwho -v -o oneline' print all connections in one line. This
bug appeared in 1.2.7rc3, a consequnce of Bug#1815.
- Bug 1868 - Wrong cmdopts in ftpcount.c.
- Added custom memory scrubber routine to deal with the issue mentioned in
this Bugtraq thread: http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/298598
1.2.7rc3 - Released 15-11-2002
---------------------------------
- Fixed configure script detection and handling of ncurses (HAVE_LIBNCURSES
was not being properly defined).
- Added --enable-scoreboard-buffer-size option to configure script, for
tuning the size of some scoreboard fields (e.g. the full client command
and the current working directory).
- Bug 1287 - Error compile with autoshadow option. AIX does not have
traditional shadow support, and uses other mechanisms. This means that
the --enable-autoshadow and --enable-shadow configure options should not
be used when configuring proftpd for AIX. The configure script has been
updated to detect when these options are used on AIX, and to automatically
disable them.
- Bug 1722 - Can't work magic cookie %F on FreeBSD.
- Make sure session.xfer uses cleared memory so unset structure members
won't contain random values.
- Fixed handling of AuthAliasOnly, broken slightly by Bug#1567.
- Bug 1800 - Proftpd child segfaults when using a PASS without no USER first.
mod_wrap was making a bad assumption about the USER name being available.
This assumption has been corrected.
- Bug 1803 - Check for SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG to determine LFS support
breaks some Linux installations
- Bug 1805 - PAM support under Mac OS X
- Bug 1772 - Docs fixup in RPM spec file
- Bug 1398 - there is no log rotate for /var/log/xferlog
- Bug 1814 - class names are truncated in scoreboard entry
- ftptop can now use either curses or ncurses
- Bug 1818 - proftpd doesn't compile on hpux11
- Bug 1760 - AllowOverwrite not operational.
- Bug 1703 - mod_sql_mysql compile error. This was eventually tracked down
to an overlap between ProFTPD's bundled getopt implementation, and
MySQL's bundled getopt implementation. To prevent this problem, a new
--without-getopt configure option has been added, which tells the ProFTPD
build process to explicitly not use the ProFTPD bundled getopt
implementation.
- Only link ftptop with lib{n,}curses - it isn't needed in any other
binaries
- Bug 1815 - Patch to add class information to ftpwho (with verbose on)
- Bug 1810 - Wrong permissions assigned to uploaded file. This turned out
to be related to the addition of the statcache code, and its interaction
with the UserOwner and GroupOwner configuration directives.
- Bug 1830 - MaxClientsPerHost (small) Bug. Off-by-one error in the handling
of the MaxClientsPerHost directive, introduced by the change in timing of
scoreboard modifications of the new scoreboarding code.
- ftpasswd now exits with different values, depending on the problem cause.
Thanks to Graham Dunn <gdunn@inscriber.com> for these changes.
1.2.7rc2 - Released 2002-10-22
---------------------------------
- Bug 1757 - non-ANSI Syntax in netio.c
- Bug 1735 - Proftpd 1.2.6 compiled on FreeBSD 4.6.2 exits on signal 11
- Bug 1759 - ftpwho shows much more connections than really is. This bug
only occurred for those daemons running in inetd mode.
- Bug 1769 - Lack of supplemental groups can cause segfault. This bug is
a result of the fix for Bug 1666.
- Bug 1770 - Forgetting to check for no IP in string.
- Moved the switching to the User/Group for a vhost up in the order, to occur
before any modules' session initialization callback is invoked.
- Bug 1644 - LogFormat local IP and FQDN tags missing. Added %L to LogFormat
meta sequences for logging local server IP address, and %V for
logging local server FQDN.
- Bug 1785 - Bad handling of symlinks. This bug appeared as a consequence
of Bug#1486's fix, which involved caching of struct stats in
order to effect a speed-up of directory listings.
- Bug 1778 - 1.2.7rc1 fails to link on OpenBSD 3.2-current. The ftptop
utility was not properly utilizing the macro detecting the
presence (or absence) of the ncurses library.
- Adding new configure options (see configure --help) for setting some of
the "tunable" values in options.h via the configure command.

- Bug 1701 - Fixed/enhanced name/IP matching function by adding matching of
ip1/ip2 to function; it was just name1/name2, name1/ip2 matching.
1.2.6rc1 - Released 2002-07-02
---------------------------------
- Bug 1407 - Removed unnecessary check for prior PORT/PASV in STOR
PRE_CMD handler (RETR PRE_CMD handler did not have these checks)

for this, as the timeout (ten minutes) may be too long or short.
- Bug 1664 - Changed mod_sql to decline UID-to-name resolution if a UID
field has been configured to NULL; similarly for GID.

- Bug 1667 - Moved definition of USE_SHADOW, AUTO_SHADOW macros from command
line into config.h, with the other macros.

scan proftpd.conf looking for ScoreboardPath, if all else fails
- Bug 1042 - <Directory /> arbitrarily not matching.
1.2.1 - Released 03/01/2001
---------------------------------
- A relatively major issue was discovered with session.groups which may cause
any group-expressions inside of <Limit> (DenyGroup, etc) to malfunction.
This is the primary reason for the 1.2.1 release.
- Default CFLAGS changed from "-g3 -O6" to "-O2" because it is reported
that -O6 is highly experimental, and including debugging really isn't all
the useful, as someone _really_ interested in debugging can edit Make.rules.
- Defining classes without an explicit "Classes On" now generates a log
warning.
- New mod_sql and mod_ldap from their respective maintainers.
1.2.0-final - Released 02/26/2001
---------------------------------
- Numerous additional bug fixes from Bugzilla. See http://bugs.proftpd.org
for more info.
- New and updated README.* and INSTALL.
- initgroups() support has been removed, it will be re-added in 1.3 after we
have proper modular support in authentication modules.
- mod_sql.c, mod_sql_mysql.c and mod_sql_postgres.c back in, with a new
maintainer (replacements for mod_sqlpw and friends).
- instead of using kill(pid,SIGCONT) to determine if scoreboard pids are
correct, proftpd now uses kill(pid,0) which should be a lot lighter on
heavy-load systems. Thanks to Rob Schulhof <rrs@digisle.net> for pointing
out that kill(pid,0) is both valid AND useful. ;) Also removed some
completely useless and redundant /proc stat code which did the same thing
as kill(pid,0) on linux systems.
- logging to file (via SystemLog) is now done with a single write instead of
two in order to be atomic.
1.2.0rc3 - Released: 02/05/2001
-------------------------------
- mod_sqlpw.c, mod_mysql.c and mod_pgsql.c have been REMOVED from the
distribution. They are currently unmaintained and have numerous bugs.
If any kind soul <grin> is interested in maintaining them, they may be
brought back into a future version of proftpd.
- sendfile now defaults to off, use --enable-sendfile at configure
time to enable. Additionally, sendfile is probably fixed.
- initgroups/getgroups new defaults to off, use --enable-initgroups at
configure time to enable (mainly useful for large systems). Be careful,
though, as initgroups/getgroups breaks module handling and will not work
in conjunction with other third-party modules (mod_sqlpw, etc).
- Passive FTP works properly now (was broken in RC2).
- Compilation problems fixed on some obscure platforms.
- PAM authentication finally works again on Solaris (due to an annoying bug in
Solaris).
- Added the DeleteAbortedStores directive.
- Fixed a minor bug in SITE HELP.
- Eliminated a race when logging in with MaxClients.
- AllowChmod defaults to 'on' now for simplicity and compatibility.
- Honor ExtendedLog NONE.
- Added SyslogLevel directive.
- Added --with-includes option to configure.
- Added --with-libraries option to configure.
- On systems with wtmpx, don't use wtmp at all.
- Handle files that begin with ~ properly.
- Documentation updated for PAM on FreeBSD operating systems.
- NUMEROUS other bug fixes, including many security issues
1.2.0RC2 - Released: 07/28/2000
