@@ -1,3 +1,41 @@ +Changes from Version 0.6 to now (not yet released) + + - Changed timezone-stuff again. With S5, now the machine-info is + evaluated. This info holds the Psion's time-offset so that we + are able to calculate the offset correctly, regardless of the + Psion's setting. All that is done in a new class PsiTime. + For S3, a Fallback is provided using an Env-Variable "PSI_TZ" which + can be set to the Psion's time-offset in seconds. + - Added lots of rpc related stuff: + - Implemented a procfs-like subdir in plpnfsd. Processes can + be examined and misc. parameters can be examined/changed using + the entries in <psionMountDir>/proc/ + Several parameters can now be changed on the fly: + attribute-cache timeout in seconds: proc/acache (rw) + debuglevel: proc/debuglevel (rw) + directory-cache timeout in seconds: proc/dcache (rw) + Psion's owner-info: proc/owner (ro) + Unix-owner of mounted directory: proc/unixowner (rw) + + Stopping of plpnfsd has now changed: + Old: + reference /mnt/psion/exit + New: + echo stop > /mnt/psion/proc/exit + This should be safer than accidentally referencing a file. + + For every process running on the psion, a subdir in proc/ is + created with two files "cmd" and "args" (both ro). cmd is the + process-name, args is it's commandline. + + - Added machinfo command in plpftp for displaying lot of interesting + information about S5. (E.g. battery status etc.) + - Added killsave and runrestore to plpftpd. Both take a unix file + as argument. killsave kills all processes on the Psion and saves + restart-information to the specified file. runrestore reads a file + created by killsave and starts all processes saved in this file. + -> Functionality similar to the behavior of PsiWin before/after backup. + Changes from Version 0.5 to 0.6: - Maintenance release: bugfixes in plpnfsd and libs which make |
