tio v1.11

Changes since tio v1.10:

• Enabled large file support (LFS)

  Added autotools AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to support 64 bit file size handling.

• Updated tio title

tio v1.10

Changes since tio v1.9:

• Introduced lock on device file

  Tio will now test for and obtain an advisory lock on the tty device file
  to prevent starting multiple sessions on the same tty device.

• Updated AUTHORS

Jakub Wilk:

• Treat EOF on stdin as error

tio v1.9

Changes since tio v1.8:

• Cleanup of error handling

  Introduced consistent way of handling errors and printing error messages.

  Also upgraded some warnings to errors.

• Updated localtime() error message

• Cleanup

Jakub Wilk:

• Fix error handling for select()

  Previously the error handling code for select() was unreachable.

• Removed unneeded quotes from AM_CFLAGS

• Expanded tabs

• Fixed setting "tainted"

  Set "tainted" if and only if any character was read from the device.

  Ctrl-t is no longer sent to the device on exit, so the trick to avoid
  its echo is not necessary.

  Characters read from stdin don't directly affect output, so they
  shouldn't enable "tainted".

• Used \r in color_printf()

  \033[300D is an unusual way to move the cursor back to column 1.
  Use straightforward \r instead.

• Added missing \r\n to warning messages

  \n alone is not enough, because the terminal is in raw mode.

tio v1.8

Changes since tio v1.7:

• Fixed enablement of compiler warnings

• Fixed log_open() prototype

• Fixed index error wrt ctrl-t detection

• Fixed handling of ctrl-t

  Before, when exercising the quit key sequence (ctrl-t + q) the ctrl-t code
  (0x14) would be sent.

  This is now fixed so that it is not sent.

  However, in case it is needed to send ctrl-t to the device it is possible by
  simply repeating the ctrl-t.

  Meaning, ctrl-t + ctrl-t = ctrl-t sent to device.

• Improved error handling

  Fixes a memory leak and avoids aggressive busy looping when problems
  accessing tty device.

• Removed redundant log_close() call

• Enabled compiler warnings

Jakub Wilk:

• Stopped copying arguments to fixed-size buffers

  Don't needlessly copy command-line arguments into fixed-size buffers.

  Previously the program crashed if an overlong pathname was provided on
  the command line. Also, some systems (such as GNU Hurd) don't define
  MAXPATHLEN at all.

• Added const to log_open() prototype

• Completed the ^g to ^t transition

  In 72a287f the escape key was changed from ^g to ^t, but some
  code and comments still referred to the old key.

• Used HTTPS for tio.github.io

• Man page beautification

• Bumped date in man page

• Improve man page formatting

  Use regular font for metacharacters such as "[]", "," or "|";
  use italic font for metavariables.

• Fixed hyphen vs minus vs em-dash confusion in man page

  • prints as hyphen;
    • prints as minus sign;
      \em prints as em-dash.

tio v1.7

Changes since tio v1.6:

• Changed escape key from ^g to ^t

  After renaming to "tio" it makes sense to change the escape key
  accordingly. Hence, the new escape key is ^t.

  Meaning, in session, its now ctrl-t + q to quit.

Jakub Wilk:

• Fixed silly "tio or tio" in man page
• Fixed typo

tio v1.6

Changes since gotty v1.5:

• Renamed "gotty" to "tio"

  Renamed to "tio" because it is shorter and this new name also more
  precisely reflects what the program is - a simple TTY terminal I/O
  application.

  "tio" can be considered short for terminal I/O or TTY I/O or a
  combination of the two, whichever you prefer.

  Also, wanted to avoid naming conflicts with other projects.

Go TTY v1.5

Changes since Go TTY v1.4:

• Added log feature

  Added "--log " option which writes all activity to specified
  file.

• Add support for configurable bash completion path

  Rewrote the configure script to support the following options:

  --with-bash-completion-dir=PATH
  --without-bash-completion-dir

Jakob Haufe:

• Don't hardcode path for bash completions

  Instead, use pkg-config to find out where the completions should go.

Go TTY v1.4

Changes since Go TTY v1.3:

• Fix tty device file accessibility test

  Fixes ending up in a freeze when a tty device exists but is not
  readable.

Go TTY v1.3

Changes since Go TTY v1.2:

• Do not quit on error

  This makes gotty more robust in the sense it will not quit when an error
  occurs but simply continue to try reconnect.

• Updated version text

• Updated AUTHORS file

• Cleanup man page examples

• Updated LICENSE file

• Reverted back to tar.xz only distribution

• Updated README

Jakub Wilk:

• Clarified README that the license is GPLv2+
• Stripped trailing whitespace from man page
• Fixed typo

Jakob Haufe:

• Add missing declaration
• Add missing include

Go TTY v1.2

Changes since Go TTY v1.1:

• Enabled .tar.gz distribution support

  Github does not allow releases including .tar.xz anymore so we have to
  also enable old school .tar.gz.

• Added AUTHORS file

• Added unit for baudrate

• Renamed --char-delay to --output-delay

  Renaming to make the naming more specific for the feature.

• Fixed man page for whatis

Jesper Larsen:

• Added packaging files for Ubuntu

Jeppe Ledet-Pedersen:

• Add option for setting inter-character delay

Thanks to Jesper and Jeppe for their contributions.
