FLOPP / News: Recent posts

Users are now able to use the 'user@server:port' login command.

flopp-1.0 will be released as soon as ACL support for destination ports is added.

FLOPP 0.4.4 has been released. It corrects a bug on FreeBSD 4.x with pthread_detach causing a memory leak. The clients list is now preallocated on startup, which speeds up the process, but uses more memory. In next version, a "PREALLOCATE" directive will be useable to choose between both versions. And still to do the control of SIGHUP, in order to create the 0.4.5 release (and probably the 1.0 if it is stable). A parallel branch will be created then, implementing a pool of threads (as FLOPP 0.3 was doing) instead of a thread/client which is not usable for large systems and can cause DoS with clients waiting for timeout.

The 0.4.2 release of FLOPP is out. It corrects the bugs of the clients list, making SIGPIPE mad, and causing a memory leak. If no more bug is found, it will soon be released as 1.0.

Bad SIGPIPE Treatment may lead to crash of FLOPP and eventually to a log flood. This can happen in very rare cases. This bug will be corrected in next release.

A light memory leak has been discovered on FLOPP versions 0.4 and 0.4.1 under FreeBSD. A patch will be available as soon as the source of the leak is found.

FLOPP 0.4.1 has been released!

FLOPP 0.4 has been released.
