Relevant ChangeLog:
2003-10-31 00:02  castaglia

        * contrib/mod_sql.c: 
        Always expand %U to the USER name given, not just when session.user
        is NULL.

2003-10-30 23:22  castaglia

        * modules/mod_auth.c: 
        Undoing part of change made earlier: rather than removing a C_USER
        config_rec during both the LOG_CMD (success) and LOG_CMD_ERR
        (failure) command phases of the PASS command, only do the removal
        in LOG_CMD_ERR, which was the originally intended effect.  Doing
        the removal in the LOG_CMD handler causes trouble for modules that
        may want to use %U (e.g. mod_rewrite).

2003-10-30 12:38  flyhmstr

        * doc/: Configuration.html, Configuration.sgml, faq.html: 
        ML: New userguide (html & sgml) and faq built from current pdd
        sources     committed.

2003-10-28 10:41  castaglia

        * README.FreeBSD: 
        Adding FreeBSD package installation docs from Bug#2250.

2003-10-22 00:40  castaglia

        * src/main.c: 
        Removing duplicate sanity check.

2003-10-21 23:49  castaglia

        * src/fsio.c: 
        Fixing comments.  Have pr_insert_fs() set errno on error, for
        reporting purposes.

2003-10-20 18:44  castaglia

        * utils/utils.h: 
        It helps to make sure that the utils (ftpcount, ftpwho, ftptop)
        expect that the scoreboard entry has the same format as the core
        code (cf. size of the sce_client_addr field).

2003-10-20 15:20  castaglia

        * include/scoreboard.h: 
        Forgot to increase the size of the IP address buffer in the
        scoreboard if --enable-ipv6 is used.

2003-10-20 00:28  castaglia

        * modules/mod_log.c: 
        More paranoid checking of snprintf() usage.

2003-10-20 00:15  castaglia

        * contrib/: mod_radius.c, mod_sql.c, mod_tls.c: 
        Minor paranoia changes: make certain the buffer is NUL-terminated
        before calling strlen() on its contents.

2003-10-20 00:02  castaglia

        * NEWS, modules/mod_ls.c: 
        Check for excessive length of symlink directory listing entries,
        when ShowSymlinks is on.  This also requires that the platform
        _not_ provide MAXPATHLEN.  Added some style/spacing changes as
        well.

2003-10-19 14:45  jwm

        * NEWS, contrib/dist/rpm/proftpd.spec: 
        Bug 2197 - The RPM .spec has been updated for easy RPM builds from
        CVS snapshots.

2003-10-19 14:40  jwm

        * contrib/dist/rpm/proftpd.spec: rpm doesn't like empty
        BuildPreReqs, add a static dep on pam-devel

2003-10-18 16:48  castaglia

        * src/fsio.c: 
        Fixing a memory leak in the handling of structures used for
        tracking open directories.

2003-10-18 15:14  castaglia

        * src/dirtree.c: 
        Fixing a rather major memory pool leak.  A temporary pool was being
        allocated in dir_hide_file() (which is called rather often), but in
        the case where no HideFiles directive was configured (very common),
        that pool was not being destroyed.  Oops.

2003-10-17 08:39  castaglia

        * NEWS, include/netaddr.h, modules/mod_core.c, modules/mod_log.c,
        src/netaddr.c: 
        Bug#2204 - More reverse DNS resolutions problems.  A previous fix
        for systems that use gethostbyname2() (e.g. the BSDs, some Linux
        distributions) was not properly checking the return value from
        pr_netaddr_is_v4mapped(), and thus IPv4 addresses were not being
        resolved to their names.
        
        Bug#2242 - Parsing during rehashing was failing with an EPERM.  The
        problem was that configuration directive handlers (specifically,
        SyslogFacility and SystemLog) were using PRIVS_RELINQUISH, which
        caused later Includes to fail.  Configuration handlers should not
        use the PRIVS macros.

2003-10-17 06:19  castaglia

        * NEWS, modules/mod_core.c: 
        Bug#2181: fixing this bug (again) to work correctly in all cases.

2003-10-16 23:15  castaglia

        * include/fsio.h, include/inet.h, include/netio.h, src/fsio.c,
        src/inet.c, src/main.c, src/netio.c: 
        Removing the pr_ prefix from some API initialization functions;
        they are not really appropriate for module use.

oh, in the changelog bugzilla catches the proftpd bugzilla bugs id mapping
them (incorectly) to gentoo ones, please ignore that :)

[Comment 2 Stewart (RETIRED) 2003-11-04 21:35:46 UTC]

Created attachment 20279 [details]
Ebuild for 1.2.9

Updated ebuild. Compiles, runs fine here. Already committed to the tree;
please rsync and test!

[Comment 3 Stewart (RETIRED) 2003-11-06 12:47:57 UTC]

Works for me, several others. Please test and report so we can close this.
:)

[Comment 4 Dizzy 2003-11-06 13:13:54 UTC]

Just tested it. all seems fine (also I noticed it fixes the "-d -p" init
problem reported on another bug here).

[Comment 5 Stian B. Barmen 2004-01-06 03:31:55 UTC]

Upgraded now from rc3 with the new ebuild and it seems to work nicely. Using SSL and everything. Thanks :)

[Comment 6 Thilo Bangert (RETIRED) (RETIRED) 2004-01-09 08:50:28 UTC]

at least on x86 we still only have the buggy (see bug #30672) rc2 marked as stable...

well, lets get this finally shipped
best regards
Thilo

[Comment 7 Stewart (RETIRED) 2004-01-31 00:14:09 UTC]

All's well on the home-front!
