anubis
** Fix compilation with GDBM 1.18.1 ** Support for Guile version 2.2.0 and later Support for prior versions has been withdrawn. ** anubisusr requires GnuTLS ** New configuration statement: use-pam Used in CONTROL section, this boolean statement enables or disables the use of the Pluggable Authentication Module interface for accounting and session management. ** New configuration statement: identd-keyfile Sets the name of the file with shared keys used for decryting replies from the auth service. It is used in traditional mode if anubis receives an encrypted response from the client's identd server (e.g. if they are running pidentd with encryption). ** Bugfixes
An SMTP message submission daemon. It represents an intermediate layer between mail user agent (MUA) and mail transport agent (MTA), receiving messages from the MUA, applying to them a set of predefined changes and finally inserting modified messages into an MTA routing network. The set of changes applied to a message is configurable on a system-wide and per-user basis.
cflow
* Multiple start functions are allowed The '--main' option can be given multiple times. A separate graph will be drawn for each function given as its argument. * New option --target=FUNCTION If this option is given, the produced graph will contain only paths leading from start function (or functions) to the given FUNCTION. Multiple '--target' options are allowed. * New output format: dot The '-f dot' (or '--format=dot') option instructs cflow to output graph as a description in DOT language, suitable as input to graphviz programs. * cflow-mode: new commands for navigating in the graph: c go to the calling function n go to the next function at the same nesting level p go to the previous function at the same nesting level * Bugfixes: ** CVE-2019-16165 ** CVE-2019-16166 ** Fix parsing of K&R style function declarations ** Improve parsing of typecasts ** Fix recursive call detection
This tool analyzes a collection of C source files and prints a graph charting control flow within the program.
cpio
* Fix operation of --no-absolute-filenames --make-directories * Restore access and modification times of symlinks in copy-in and copy-pass modes.
GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports a wide variety of archive formats.
dico
* Bugfixes in the gcide module * Fix searches in the gcider utility * Support for Python 2 has been withdrawn
GNU Dico provides a flexible modular implementation of dictionary server, a number of modules for it, and a console based dictionary lookup utility. A Web interface is also available.
direvent
* Simultaneous execution limits It is possible to limit number of command instances that are allowed to run simultaneosly for a particular watcher. This is done using the 'max-instances' statement in 'watcher' section. * Restore the nowait default Unless given the 'nowait' option explicitly, watchers waited for the handler to terminate. It is now fixed and 'nowait' is the default, as described in the documentation. * Fix bug in generic to system event translation * Fix sentinel code In some cases setting the sentinel effectively removed the original watcher. That happened if the full file name of the original watcher and its directory part produced the same hash.
GNU Direvent monitors a set of directories on the file system and reacts when their content changes. When a change is detected, the program invokes an external command configured for that kind of change.
gcide
GNU Collaborative International Dictionary of English, a free dictionary based on Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary Version (published 1913) with additions from WordNet, proof-read and supplemented by volunteers from around the world.
gdbm
* New gdbm_load option: --update The --update (-U) option instructs gdbm_load to update an existing database. * Fix semantics of gdbm_load -r The --replace (-r) is valid only when used together with --update. * Use getline in gdbmtool shell. * New function: gdbm_load_from_file_ext In contrast to gdbm_load and gdbm_load_from_file, which derive the value of the flag parameter for gdbm_open from the value of their "replace" argument, this function allows the caller to specify it explicitly. The prototype is: int gdbm_load_from_file_ext (GDBM_FILE *pdbf, FILE *fp, int flags, int replace, int meta_mask, unsigned long *line); * Bugfixes ** Fix binary dump format for key and/or data of zero size. (see https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/bugs/?565) ** Fix location tracking and recover command in gdbtool. (see https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/bugs/?566) ** Fix possible buffer underflow in gdbmload. ** Ensure any padding bytes in avail_elem structure are filled with 0. (fixes https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031276) ** Improve the documentation.
GNU dbm is a library of database functions that use extendible hashing and works similar to the standard UNIX dbm functions. These routines are provided to a programmer needing to create and manipulate a hashed database.
gnulib
Gnulib is a central location for common GNU code, which is shared among many GNU (and non-GNU) packages.
inetutils
* ftp An old inability to allow other names than the canonical name has been corrected. This means that a machine entry in the .netrc file will now be used as expected. Previously any alias name was replaced by the corresponding canonical name, before reading the .netrc file. The internal command `hash' accepts a suffixed letter to the size argument, like `12k', instead of 12288. Made a minor change to the syntax of the command itself, allowing size changes independently of activation of hash markings. After a transfer the summary gives the speed as `Mbytes/s', `kbytes/s', or `bytes/s'. The .netrc file can be overridden by the environment variable NETRC. Of even higher precedence is the new option `-N/--netrc'. The access to the resulting file, whatever method, is now denied unless it is a regular file. * ifconfig Better command line parsing on BSD and Solaris systems. Touch only changeable flags on all systems. * logger The ability to use numerical facilities is restored to full range. * ping, ping6 The ability to specify a pattern as payload is corrected. * syslogd A new switch `-T/--local-time' makes the service ignore a time stamp passed on by the remote host, recording instead the local time at the moment the message was received. As a short form of `--pidfile', the switch `-P' is new. In common with other syslogd implementations, rsyslogd and sysklogd, there has for a long time existed an attack vector based on large facility numbers, made public in CVE-2014-3684. This is now mended in our code base. * telnetd The ability to autologin a client, without using authentication, is now functional in the expected manner, i.e., the prompt for a user name is suppressed in favour of an immediate password prompt. In a setting where the client is using a UTF-8 encoding, it was common to observe strange characters in most responses. This was caused by the server daemon, due to incomplete purging of internal protocol data. The issue should now be resolved. * whois Improved cooperation with servers like `whois.arin.net', `whois.eu', and `whois.ripe.net'.
Inetutils, or GNU Internet Utilities, are the basic internet utilities of the GNU Operating System.
mailutils
* Use of TLS in pop3d and imap4d If not explicitly specified, the TLS mode to use (ondemand, connect, etc.) is derived from the configured port. E.g., for imap4d, port 143 implies ondemand mode, and port 993 implies connection mode. The global tls-mode setting is used only when the mode cannot be detemined otherwise, i.e. neither per-server tls-mode is given nor the port gives any clues as to the TLS mode to use. * Bugfixes ** movemail: fix handling of -P option. ** pop3d, imap4d: fix global timeout and transcript configuration statements ** pop3d, imap4d: global tls-mode is used only when the mode to use cannot be determined otherwise. ** pop3d, imap4d: if not set explicitly, derive tls mode from the port used. ** Improve file safety checking routine. ** Fix compilation with new gcc versions.
GNU Mailutils is a swiss army knife of electronic mail handling. It contains a rich set of mail-related utilities and daemons, including pop3d
, imap4d
, sieve
and several domain-specific mail delivery agents.
micron
* Micron is a part of GNU project * Take into account DST changes when computing job startup time * Minor fix in crontab parser
An enhanced implementation of UNIX cron daemon.
paxutils
Paxutils is intended to provide a set of archiver programs. It will include tar
and cpio
utilities and will provide POSIX pax
program.
pies
* New configuration keywords ** sigterm SIG Available for use in "component" sections. This statement defines signal which pies should send to the running component instance in order to terminate it. Defaults to SIGTERM. * Fix the component shutdown sequence The shutdown sequence is determined taking into account dependencies between components, so that all dependent components are stopped before their prerequisite components. * Fallback log file Fallback log file is a place where pies writes out of band log messages, i.e. messages about not being able to open syslog socket or send logs to it. Regular log messages are diverted to this file if syslog was requested, but cannot be used because of a permanent error. * Bugfixes ** Fix piesctl config reload ** Fix configuration preprocessing. ** Varios fixes in REST API server.
GNU pies (pronounced p-yes) is a program invocation and execution supervisor. This utility allows to execute usual foreground-mode applications in detached mode, as if they were daemons. It combines the fucntionality of init
and inetd
programs. It can be used to control complex multi-component software.
radius
* Configuration file raddb/config The syslog statement takes an optional 4th argument specifying syslog tag to use, e.g.: channel default { syslog local1.info radiusd; }; * New attributes ** GNU-Server-Address Holds IP address of the RADIUS server that recieved the request. Notice, that the value of this attribute is "0.0.0.0" if there are no `listen' statement in your `raddb/config'. ** GNU-Server-Port Holds UDP port number of the RADIUS server that recieved the request. * Automake function AM_GNU_RADIUS is provided, for checking if GNU Radius is installed from configure.ac scripts. * Guile support requires Gule version 1.8 or later. * Bugfixes ** Pass NAS-IP-Address to mlc_stop_query
GNU Radius is an extensible and scalable authentication and accounting server.
rush
* Use getgrouplist call, if available * Fix in rush-po script * Bugfixes
GNU Rush is a Restricted User Shell. It is intended for use with ssh, rsh and similar remote access programs. Using a sophisticated configuration file, Rush gives you complete control over the command lines users can execute, system resources they can use, etc. In particular, it allows to run remote programs in a chrooted environment.
tar
* Fail when building GNU tar, if the platform supports 64-bit time_t but the build uses only 32-bit time_t. * Leave the devmajor and devminor fields empty (rather than zero) for non-special files, as this is more compatible with traditional tar. * Bug fixes ** Fix interaction of --update with --wildcards. ** When extracting archives into an empty directory, do not create hard links to files outside that directory. ** Handle partial reads from regular files. ** Warn "file changed as we read it" less often. Formerly, tar warned if the file's size or ctime changed. However, this generated a false positive if tar read a file while another process hard-linked to it, changing its ctime. Now, tar warns if the file's size, mtime, user ID, group ID, or mode changes. Although neither heuristic is perfect, the new one should work better in practice. ** Fix --ignore-failed-read to ignore file-changed read errors as far as exit status is concerned. You can now suppress file-changed issues entirely with --ignore-failed-read --warning=no-file-changed. ** Fix --remove-files to not remove a file that changed while we read it. ** Fix --atime-preserve=replace to not fail if there was no need to replace, either because we did not read the file, or the atime did not change. ** Fix race when creating a parent directory while another process is also doing so. ** Fix handling of prefix keywords not followed by "." in pax headers. ** Fix handling of out-of-range sparse entries in pax headers. ** Fix handling of --transform='s/s/@/2'. ** Fix treatment of options ending in / in files-from list. ** Fix crash on 'tar --checkpoint-action exec=\"'. ** Fix low-memory crash when reading incremental dumps. ** Fix --exclude-vcs-ignores memory allocation misuse.
GNU tar is an archiver program. It is used to create and manipulate files that are actually collections of many other files; the program provides users with an organized and systematic method of controlling a large amount of data.
texinfo
This is a bug-fix release with minimal changes. * texi2any . fix potential crash when @include is used inside a table . do not complain about presence of @anchor inside @item in a table . C source files that are generated from *.xs files are no no longer distributed, so xsubpp from Perl is needed to build XS modules. . fix bug that led to memory alignment error on SPARC . performance improvement and fixes for MinGW . test failures due to floating point rounding error fixed (observed on IBM POWER9 processor) * info . crash when setting style to invalid value fixed . potential call of memcpy with null argument fixed
Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project. It uses a single source file to produce output in a number of formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml, etc.).
