| 1 | 42 | This is a BETA release, as such it's not guaranteed to work perfectly any |
| 2 | problems let me know, they'll be sorted out in the next Beta release. At the | |
| 3 | point at which people stop complaining the non-beta release will be let out. | |

| 8 | 42 | FSP Development Battle plan: |
| 9 | ============================ | |
| 10 | 105 | |
| 11 | 2.8.2 - Next Stable version after 10 years or so | |
| 12 | 113 | FSP Protocol wire changes: |
| 13 | 81 | - add FSP Info command |
| 14 | 105 | - resolve symlink support problem. This maybe breaks compatibility |
| 15 | with older software versions. | |
| 16 | 113 | - security: symlink to FILE can escape from FSP root directory, this will |
| 17 | be fixed as part of symlink support. | |
| 18 | Code fixups: | |
| 19 | - fix Sven's compiling problems on various unixes | |
| 20 | 105 | - fspd: add special defence against rapid/double fire clients (burst command in fspclient) |
| 21 | 127 | - add FSP change password command (do we really need this ??) |
| 22 | 105 | |
| 23 | 42 | * for next point Stable version 2.8.3 |
| 24 | 110 | - hard coded access list, do not load it from filesystem |
| 25 | 113 | - support for ~user namespace |

| 27 | FSP V2.8.1 Beta version Notes: | |
| 28 | ------------------------------ | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | This is intended to be an interim release - with bugs-fixed and some | |
| 31 | enhancements (password file protection) Once it is out I intend for a | |
| 32 | discussion about the next release (FSP 3) to begin in earnest. The next major | |
| 33 | release should be 2.9.0 with the the code moving over to ANSI and POSIX | |
| 34 | compliance and first testing of new protocol. New protocol should have | |
| 35 | relieable authentification and data encryption. Work name FSP 3 protocol is | |
| 36 | secure-FSP. New protocol definition will not be frozen until 3.0 comes out. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | If you have modifications which you feel fit neatly into this release then | |
| 39 | please send them in. If suitable they will be incorporated into the next Beta | |
| 40 | release and ultimately into the final release. | |
| 41 | ||

| 44 | 105 | This version is not quite fully backwards compatible with 2.7.1 and 2.8.1 from |
| 45 | the client and the server viewpoints. See file PROTOCOL for minor changes | |
| 46 | in wire-protocol. | |
| 47 | 42 | |
| 48 | If you successfully build this distribution on a machine/OS/compiler | |
| 49 | combination which isn't listed in the MACHINES file then please drop me a line | |
| 50 | telling me that you've done it and what (if any) changes were required. |
