A brief and incomplete list of changes between versions 4.68 and 4.70:
- new entries for parameter file: areacode, skipProv, ignoreUPD
- new rate-file configuration option: provider skipping
- several improvements in connection logging
- new entry for isdn.conf: REPOTIONS
- new command line options for isdnrep: -c -m -L -U -x
- new manual pages: rate.conf(5) isdnbill(1)
- improved table mode (-T) of isdnrate
For a list of all changes: cvs diff -u -r isdnlog-4.68 -r isdnlog-4.70
All included providers except some discontinued offers have been
validated in February 2005. Some providers tend to change frequently,
so as usual this release is a snapshot.
Certain providers can be completely ignored (skipped) when loading the
rate-file. The selection is done by Q: tags in rate.conf or by skipProv=
in the parameter file. The syntax is explained in the new manual page
rate.conf(5). Absurd settings for provider skipping may cause trouble.
The version number will change to 4.70 in a few days after an update
of the rate-de.dat.
The network provided number is now preferred in any case. The other
number (typical set by originating user) can be ignored using the
ignoreCOLP or -U setting, which allows different values for COLP and CLIP
now. (The old behaviour was to use the first number if ignoreCOLP was set
and the network provided number regardless of order otherwise.)
per default enabled providers have been validated in August 2004, other
providers during the year 2004. Also included are cellphone entries
in the country-de.dat for Ghana, Moldova, Kazakhstan, and Syria.
report footer. `-x' displays only call selected or not deselected by
hour or type of day -- may be useful in conjunction with `-r'.
Activated new configuration file entry `REPOPTIONS' for isdnrep default
options. This options can be disabled by `-c' on the command line.
CONNECT occurs to 0 and not to the time elapsed since SETUP. Now
the value 0 clearly indicates an unanswered call at HANGUP. This
was reported by Rainer Dorsch on the isdn4linux mailinglist in
message <200404181436.48694.rdorsch@web.de> at 2004-04-18.
a maintainer of Debian's isdnutils source package:
- add manpage for isdnbill *)
- fix typo in isdnrate.man
- isdnbill.c: add english help texts

*) Renamed the sourcefile isdnrep/isdnbill.man to isdnrep/isdnbill.1.in
because only @MANDATE@ is replaced in %.man files. Other @VARS@ have to
be processed by config.status and therefore noted in configure.in and
configure. The isdnrep manpage was used as template for those entries.
- New German ratefile, rate-de.dat version 3.08 from rates4linux,
included rates have been reviewed in January 2004 or later.
- New setting for parameterfile: closefds=yes
See isdnlog(8) or isdnlog/start_prog.c for details.
- Changes checked in earlier but after step to isdnlog-4.67:
- Added Belgian area codes.
- Supported database are shown at isdnlog's startup.
- isdnlog now tries to reconnect to a mysql server if necessary.
- Fixed SIGSEGV in isdnrep with missing zonenames in ratefile.
- New options -c and -i for isdnrate.
- Some small fixes for redirs in ratefiles.
- Disabled unicode for filehandles in Perl scripts.
reconnect if necessary. Previously the database server had to be
reachable at isdnlog startup. Otherwise no database logging took place.
Many thanks to Jochen Erwied for advising this change.
The fd limit is now taken from getrlimit() instead of NR_OPEN.
Close_Fds(first) which tries to close all possible fds is generally
built in but the execution must be requested with "closefds=yes" in
the parameterfile otherwise the isdnlog behaviour remains unchanged.
starting a start script as reaction to a call. The same applies to the
restart of isdnlog using SIGHUP. Till now each restart increases the
number of used fds.
For now the modifications are inactive by default. They can be enabled
by adding the line "DEFS += -DFD_AT_EXEC_MODE=1" to ../Makefile.in.
The next isdnlog (4.68) will have this enabled per default.
The upper limit for fd numbers is taken from NR_OPEN in <linux/limits.h>.
If there is a smarter way to access this limit, please let me know.
Another approach would be to set the close-on-exec flag on each fd
directly after it is opened. This would require more extensive changes.
I'd like to thank Jan Bernhardt for discovering this problem.
and no real zones (Z:).
Check whether the resulting zone from getZone is covered by a redir.
Describe current limitations of redirs in rate-files manpage.

Note: Definitions that also occur for the same number in
country-de.dat or cities.dat are ignored in the code file.
