I'm happy announce version 0.12 of Linux repeater. Changelog:
ver 0.11 (Sun Mar 12, 2006):
-Added one optional command-line parameter: inifilepathandname.
-This is to make use in startup scripts easier (I had not thought about it. Thanks, Harro !).
-If inifile is not given in command-line, uses /etc/uvncrepeater.ini as default.
-As noted from previous line, default ini file name is now uvncrepeater.ini (repeater.ini was too generic).
ver 0.12 (Thu Mar 30, 2006):
-Works with server/viewer that run with dsm plugins
-Listener ip address can now be configured via ini file, for servers with many ip addresses
-Can now be started as root and then drops privileges (after bind() to ports lower than 1024). For this,
you need to create normal user / group, e.g. repuser / repgroup) and then set ini file setting runasuser = repuser
-Logging level can be selected (ini file setting) from 0=almost nothing to 3=very verbose
-Function acceptConnection() has no blocking functions left. Hopefully it won't hang anymore. Don't count on it
-MaxSessions (simultaneous active connections) is now configurable (ini file setting) from 1 to 1000 (Allan M. needed this).
-Detects situation where maxSessions is reached, refuses further connections until session tables have free slots again
Cheers,
Jari
