you didn't have to add a new bug, just reopen the old one
Comment 3 Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-11 10:37:21 UTC
version bumped to 1.2.1

Changes: The performance on slow computers has been greatly improved. It is now possible to connect to Web servers that are not running on the standard port 80. Two rare crash bugs have been fixed.

Jere McDevitt noticed a rather stupid bug in the XML parsing code:

if (feed->link != NULL);
free (feed->link);

Which will obviously crash of we try to free a NULL pointer. There is also a similar problem where we might strcmp() against a NULL pointer.

Fortunately the impact of this problem should be rather small since only a few feeds are affected.

i've attached the patch and a new ebuild

snownews-1.2.2.ebuild

Version 1.2.2 released

2003-09-20, 10:47 GMT
Probably the most boring release ever since this only fixes the "fun with
freeing NULL pointers" bugs and moves around some code to clean up things
a
bit.


Clean up

2003-09-15, 18:25 GMT
I've completely rewritten the development journal. The new location is
http://home.kcore.de/~kiza/software/snownews/snowlog.rdf. Snownews will update
this automatically. It's now a static page that is generated everytime I
add an
entry in contrast to the slow CGI before. The changelog's website has changed
too, but no URL should've been broken.

I've cleaned up the code a bit. Inspired by OpenBSD's porting docs it's now
100% sprintf free. ;) Every piece of doubtful C code is gone now. The remaining
uses of strcat and strcpy should be fine (and in some cases difficult to
replace with their "n" version).

Word wrapping and other conversion code is not part of interface.c anymore.
This file is getting too big anyway. Those functions have been moved to
conversions.c where the charset conversion function already lived a lonely
life.

snownews-1.2.3.ebuild

Version 1.2.3 released

2003-10-03, 10:32 GMT
Before if takes forever to get out a new version with the improved http client
behaviour (see previous changelog entry) I'll just package this as 1.2.3.
:)

  This version contains gzip, deflate support in the http client, some minor
  code cleanups, zaro bugfixes over the previous version (hey, I didn't find
  any) and the new Type Ahead Find search function which is really cool,
IMO.
  :) Read about it in the manpage.

  The Type Ahead feature was originally suggested by Kianga. So, don't forget
  to upgrade asap.

snownews-1.3.2.ebuild

Version 1.3.2 released

2003-10-30, 12:37 GMT
This release puts an end to the C preprocessor abuse in the Makefile and
compiles/installs cleanly again on OS X 10.3. And since I'm running that
on
my iBook the change is significant enough to warrant a new version. ;)
Comment 13 Bartosch Pixa (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-08 17:32:09 UTC
1.3.4 in portage now
