<P>
Note that this is a <STRONG>major new distribution</STRONG> and lots
of things have changed.  Consult the <A HREF="hylafax4.0.html">general overview</A>
for a high-level description of the new functionality provided in the
v4.0 software.

<P>
This document describes the changes made to the software between the
<I>previous</I> and <I>current</I> versions (see above).
If you don't find something listed here, then it was not done in this
timeframe, or it was not considered important enough to be mentioned.
The following information is located here:
<UL>
<LI><A HREF="#configure">Changes in the software configuration</A>
<LI><A HREF="#faxgetty">Changes to faxgetty</A>
<LI><A HREF="#faxsetup">Changes to faxsetup</A>
<LI><A HREF="#misc">Changes in miscellaneous stuff</A>
</UL>

<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>

<UL>
<LI>configuration requirements for SCO 5.0 are now handled automatically
<LI><B>configure</B> now handles systems that use #defines for the
    <TT>syslog</TT> and <TT>vsyslog</TT> functions (e.g. SCO OS 5)
<LI>the pathname to the <B>so_locations</B> file used in creating DSOs
    under IRIX was corrected; this fixes build problems with the MipsPRO 7.x
    compilers under IRIX 6.2
</UL>

<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>

<A NAME="faxgetty"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES TO FAXGETTY:</B></A>

<UL>
<LI>a bug in the decoding of 2D-encoded facsimile page data was fixed
</UL>

<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>

<A NAME="faxsetup"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES TO FAXSETUP:</B></A>

<UL>
<LI>the <TT>-spool</TT> and <TT>-tiffbin</TT> options were
    removed in favor of
    a more general ``<TT>-with-VAR=[value]</TT>'' syntax;
    consult the manual page for details
<LI><B>faxsetup</B> now forces the setting of the link to the
    <B>ps2fax</B> shell script used to image outbound PostScript documents
<LI>the construct that caused IRIX's <B>/bin/sh</B> to go into a infinite
    loop on exit was removed
</UL>

<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>

<A NAME="misc"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN MISCELLANEOUS STUFF:</B></A>

<UL>
<LI>a workaround for a problem in the HP-UX ANSI C compilation environment
    was added to the string support code
<LI>the handling of escape codes in modem command strings was redone;
    this fixes several bugs, most notably the handling of strings with
    embedded line breaks followed by a <TT>&lt;waitfor&gt;</TT> request
<LI>the <B>wedged</B> script now checks if <B>/etc/inittab</B> is
    present before trying to disable runaway faxgetty processes
</UL>
