Beacon v1.3-0 July 15, 2005 * Cleaned up socket code to separate TCP and UDP socket handling. Connections are now far more robust. . Beacon v1.1-0 September 7, 2004 * Rewrite the send_tcp_report and receive_tcp_report code to fix TCP connection overflow bug. * Incorporate contributed code from Greg Wickham to tie STDOUT to SysLog facility. With "SYSLOG = 1" set in beacon.conf, STDOUT is written to SysLog instead of the screen. (Ie, on Linux, look in /var/log/messages for output.) Log messages appear with an ident of 'beacon', include the pid, and at facility daemon. * Rework some of the HTML generation code to clean the display up a bit. Beacon v1.0-0 August 20, 2004 * Beacon info page marks blind beacons with white writing on blue background. Beacon v0.9.58-6 August 18, 2004 * Added "Blind Beacon" filtering. Beacons that are being correctly reported to the Central Beacon Server via TCP, but which only see themselves and are only seen *by* themselves are filtered out and listed at the bottom of the main HTML page, under the heading "Blind Beacons". * Added code to include a hyperlink to the Beacon FAQ for IP addresses that resolve to "Localhost" in the HTML output. Beacon v0.9.58-5 August 11, 2004 * Added ability to specify CONTACTNAME/INFO/LOCATION on command line as part of inclusion of Beacon as Venue Service for AG. * Fix for PREVHISTORYFILE not properly updating * Added interface selection code, output directory selection code, auto-backgrounding code, and cleaned up --help code/docs.
