Almost exactly 2 years after the previous stable LCDproc version
the new stable version LCDproc v0.5.0 is
available.
There are far too many changes in this release to enumerate them all.
Here are the most important ones:
v0.5.0
+ dynamic loading of driver modules
* New API in use
+ LCDd will use fill-in functions for drivers that don't support a certain
function. Available for: vbar, hbar, bignum, heartbeat, icon, cursor.
* Server internal functions cleaned up, moved to other files etc.
* Menu system rewritten
+ Client-supplied menus are now supported
* Key support improved: now keys are strings, not just single letters

Probably needs improvement ;)

* Reporting levels are now used more consistently
+ lcdexec client added
* Display update frequency is now exactly 8Hz.
Key scan frequency increased to 32Hz.

- LCDproc v0.4.5 Released
|
|
2004-04-13 - |
|
| |
LCDproc v0.4.5 is available
(Please download it from a SourceForge.net mirror).
This release fixes two buffer overflow/format string vulnerabilities.
It is recommended that all users upgrade to this release immediately
as an exploit has been posted to bugtraq.
Please note that the LCDproc developers have not been notified of
the bugtraq posting prior to its publishment and have not had the
chance to react to it any earlier.
v0.4.5
* Fixed buffer overflow and format string vulnerabilities in the
client communications code. The original bugtraq posting
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10085 is somewhat misleading
and/or incorrect. A correction will be posted ASAP.
- Removed annoying "client crashed" message

|
- LCDproc v0.4.4 Released
|
|
2004-03-16 - |
|
| |
LCDproc v0.4.4 is available
(Please download it from a SourceForge.net mirror).
While 0.4.4 is mainly a bugfix release it also includes a few new things
(see below for the Changelog).
A few bugs might at least be used for a local (or depending on your
setup also remote) DoS attack. So make sure to upgrade and stay tuned
for 0.5, since this is going to be the second last release of the 0.4.x
branch.
Unfortunately the CFontz633 driver could not be included due to licensing
constraints. We hope to either resolve those issues or rewrite the code in
question as soon as possible and release 0.4.5 with it.
v0.4.4
+ Added Apple Network Server (ANS) LCD driver
+ Added option in curses to use our own ascii map
* Fixed the bignum/backstore and flickering in CFontz
+ Added CFontz633 driver backported from CVS 0.5 (temporarily
removed from the distribution)
* Finished the LCDM001 driver
* Fixed a memory leak in do_mainloop
* Fixed MtxOrb driver problems when using a USB 2 serial adaptor
+ Added CwLnx driver (www.cwlinux.com)
* Fixed a division by zero condition and other bugs in render.c
+ Added SGX120 driver by Harald Milz (http://www.seetron.com/)
* Fixed the Wirz-sli driver
* Fixed the FreeBSD parallel port support
+ Added an USBLCD subdriver for HD44780 (http://www.usblcd.de)
* Improved parallel port support for old Linux (glibc1 and libc5)

- LCDproc v0.4.3 Released
|
|
May 30, 2002 - |
|
| |
LCDproc v0.4.3 is available for download
(also available from SourceForge).
We've got lots of new features and bug fixes cooked up for this release:
v0.4.3
- Removed possibility of passing arguments to the drivers from the
command line, which can be done in the configuration file now
+ Added configuration file support
+ Added ability of dropping root privileges to LCDd
+ Added LCDM001 driver (kernelconcepts.de)
+ Added Toshiba T6963 driver
* Modified the CFontz driver so that the new ROM version is
supported
+ Added ASCII emulation of BigNum to the drivers that did not
support custom characters
+ Added ability of configuring (rearranging) the keypad of MtxOrb
displays
+ Added .lircrc location to the options of the lirc driver
* Fixed backlight code (partly rewritten)
* Fixed heartbeat code (completely rewritten analogous to
the backlight code)
+ Added init scripts for debian and Redhat/Mandrake
+ Added EPM list file so that you can use EPM
(http://www.easysw.com/epm) to generate packages of LCDproc
+ Added documentation in docbook format
(LCDproc User's Guide - docs/lcdproc-user)
* Ported some screens of lcdproc to *BSD.
* Ported the parallel port functions in port.h to *BSD.
v0.4.2:
- Removed multiple output driver support - to simplify life
* Removed use of sprintf() (in favor of snprintf) for security
+ Added ability to use defined port and address to listen on
(for security) - now defaults to 127.0.0.1
+ Revamped curses driver: now supports color; has border; and
can be (with recompile) placed anywhere on screen it fits
+ Added --waittime server argument. You can now specify how long
a screen should stay on the display. The default is 64 ticks or
8 seconds.
+ Fixed compile problems on non-Linux platforms where cfmakeraw,
CBAUD, and ioperm don't exist. All drivers now use the same code
to initialize a serial port.
Yes, we never actually "announced" LCDproc v0.4.2, because I'm stupid :) I've included v0.4.2's ChangeLog in this announcement so
folks running v0.4.1 know what they're in for with this upgrade.
v0.4.3 is one of the last anticipated releases of the v0.4 series of LCDproc; we intend to release at least one
more version, and more if bugs or security issues arise, but development for v0.5 is well underway.
