0.04 04/11/2005Continuous mode now outputs --- lines when there's a delay in data beingobserved. Helps to distinguish between different packets.0.03 08/10/2002Added the following features, from a patch from Warren Young:<QUOTE>- It adds the -1 command line argument, which makes it only read from one serial port.  I needed this because I was just interested in making it showme what a particular program was sending.- autoconfiscation consequence #1: all the -DUNIX and -DLINUX stuff is gone.- consequence #2: The old CRTSCTS check is also removed, as it doesn't seem necessary.  It must have been a bug in the old Linux headers, since that's POSIX standard, I think. (*) The code as it is now works on both RH6.2 and 7.3.  If you have a platform where this still breaks, there are better ways of handling this problem with autoconf than platform-specific ifdefs.  I can help you code up the necessary autoconf invocations if you don't want to take the time to figure it out yourself.- consequence #3: The "byte" and similar typedefs are now based on the reasonably-portable u_int8_t and similar types usually found in sys/types.h.  If you have a platform that doesn't have these typedefs, again, there are ways to extend autoconf to detect that platform's sized int typedef style.- I removed several skeleton files like 'src/header'.  I don't think they belong in a source distribution.- Obviously the makefile structure is now different.  A lot of the code you had in your makefiles is replaced by autoconf.  For example, the "forwarding" targets so that "make clean" in the top level also does a clean in src.  Also things like VERSION and the install directory stuff already exist in autoconf/automake.- Several of the Makefile targets weren't ported to automake, like the backup one.  If you still want these, just add them to Makefile.am.  You might check to see if there's an equivalent already, though.  The "tar up the source code" target isn't needed any more, for example, because "make dist" will do what you want now.  (Or if it doesn't, it can be fixed so that it does, rather than replacing the target with a hand-rolled version.)</QUOTE>Many thanks, Warren!(*) Matt thinks this may have been a Sparc Red Hat Linux 6.0 thing; he's notbothered about that version, since he's on 6.2 now. If this is an issue for you,earlier versions of scope are availabel from the project home page.Added -w "write this string" option, which writes the given string out on thefirst port, then starts monitoring. You can include returns, e.g.:-w "AT&V\\r" which on some modems will cause a settings dump to be generated.0.02 20/02/2002Added fix for compile error on RH7.x, from a patch by Grant Edwards: "The'timezone' struct has been obsoleted, so I've jettisoned it.  Passing a NULL forthe second parameter to gettimeofday is backward compatible at least as far backas RH6.  FWIW, I verified that the same change will work under Solaris (thoughasy.c doesn't compiler -- no surprise there). I've also added an "#include" ortwo to get rid of some warnings about implicit declarations of exit() andstrcpy()."Thanks, Grant!
