The ProNFS 1.2/Release:20000131/SP:20000405

Date: 05 April 2000

Major differences from the base 1.2/Release:20000131 version
  

1. The following enhancements have been made :

  1. Ftp :
    - the standard "PASV"(passive) mode is supported.
     It is actual for PCs which are behind proxies.

  2. NFS-Server :
    - the "*" symbols are allowable into the IP address
     of the "Export"->"NFS User Access"->'Host' items.

  3. Telnet :
    - new manual "[TELNET]"/"ALTforEMACS=1" setting allows
     to use the ALT key in EMACS;
    - Telnet sends now an additional information to Telnet daemon
     so as some popular programs (DECO, MC, EMACS) might use all
     available lines of the current Telnet screen. This improvement
     has meaning when non-24 lines/screen setting (i.e. 36- or 48-) is used.

2. The following bugs have been fixed :

  1. xwpwsock.dll :
    - the memory leakage with some Windows NT TCP/IP took place with Xserver.
     It is the WinSock API problem of some WinNT4 and/or Win2000.
     The problem is in "WSAAsyncSelect()" request.
     This standard request "eats" about 128 bytes per each set/unset call;

  2. Ftp :
      - incorrect showing of HP filelist with very long files is fixed.

  3. Comsetup :
    - the "ws2_32.dll" is the default WinSock API DLL for all WinNT systems
     (to use the WSAEventSelect() request of WinSock2 API).

        Undocumented Features

  1. Ftp :
    - the "Passive Transfers" setting item is added on the "Settings"
     Ftp page.

  2. NFS-Server :
    - the "*" symbols are allowable into the IP address (not into hostnames)
     of the "Export"->"NFS User Access"->'Host' items.

  3. Telnet :
    - new manual "[TELNET]"/"ALTforEMACS=1" setting allows
     to use the ALT key in EMACS;
