Incompatibilities

• ModemClass to ModemGroup
  The ModemClass config parameter has being completely replaced by the ModemGroup parameter, functionality is identical.

• Faxcover
  To work properly with comments some small changes to to some faxcovers may be required. if the faxcover previously used the BreakIntoLines function to print comments the protoype has changed from:

  <comments> <line-width> <line-changing-proc> BreakIntoLines -

  to

  <line-width> <line-height> <x> <y> <comments> BreakIntoLines -

  If the faxcover used the commentX parameters, you will need to add the following function call before using the commentX parameters:

  <maxlines> <comments> BreakIntoCommentX -

• Name Changes
  In order to help integrate HylaFAX with other commonly available packages some name changes have occured:

  xferstats --> xferfaxstats
  xferlog --> xferfaxlog
  etc/hosts --> etc/hosts.hfaxd
  

• Font Metrics are gone.
  The textfmt program can now directly read ghostscript fontmap files and thus find the corresponding afm files included in the ghostscript fonts package.

Changes in Detail

• gcc2.8.x/egcs patch
  Newer c++ compilers, such as gcc 2.8.X and egcs are more rigorous in implementing the C++ standard. This patch updates some older constructs in the hylafax code so that it will compile with the newer compilers.
  Robert Colquhoun - rjc@trump.net.au

• stackbuffer patch
  Adds a operator= to the the util/StackBuffer class. Absence of this caused a SIGSEGV after sending a UCP page as the structure was incorrectly copied.
  Robert Colquhoun - rjc@trump.net.au

• tagline patch
  Fixes a calculation mistake when encoding the tagline on the page to be sent. This caused a small corruption on the resulting page where the tagline joins the main page.
  Robert Colquhoun - rjc@trump.net.au

• Fontmap/textfmt2.3 patch
  Allows the textfmt and associated programs to directly read ghostscript fontmap files. Due to the patch the afm files are no longer normally required in the hylafax distribution. The afm files included with the ghostscript fonts package is sufficient.

  Robert Colquhoun - rjc@trump.net.au

• faxmail-close patch
