qtm libpwmd patch updated

This revision uses the Pwmd::PwmdInquireData class for server inquires. This class also handles passphrase retrieval when needed. You can download it here.

pwmd 2.21 released

This version fixes a nasty crash on startup for most folks. It also contains protocol command bug fixes backported from the pwmd development branch..

PWMD 2.x passphrase salt

Passphrase salting has been added to the 2.x branch of the pwmd. This makes dictionary attacks on the data file alot harder to do. The master branch already has this feature because it is built into gpg-agent.

PWMD 2.x fix

The v2.x branch of the pwmd git repository contains a fix that probably affects most (any?) users. For some reason I forgot to call pth_init(), which you may have noticed, prevented pwmd from starting up or other nasty things. I recently upgraded my hardware and only discovered the bug today. Soon I will make another 2.x release which will probably be the final 2.x version before 3.0.

If your a new user of pwmd, you may be better off using the development version from the git repository since this version is alot faster (native POSIX threads) and has more features. It would be nice to have testers of the development version too so things like the pth_init() bug don’t get looked over.

Psi libpwmd7-dev patch

I’ve updated the Psi patch to work with changes in the libpwmd7 API. You can find it here.

XChat libpwmd patch updated

I’ve ported the xchat patch to libpwmd7. You can find it here.

Pidgin libpwmd7-dev patch

I’ve made a patch for libpwmd7-dev to the Pidgin instant messenger. You can download it here..

libpwmd7-dev and application patches

I have some updated application patches for the development version of libpwmd and am getting them ready for others to test pwmd 3.0 and libpwmd 7.0 against.

This was inspired by new exim, QTM and fetchmail releases. Maybe I will even update the libpwmd6 patches, too.

Update: I’ve updated some, but not all, of the application patches for the development version of libpwmd7: fetchmail, exim mail server, and qtm. If you use these applications and also use pwmd, please test these patches.

CBoard 0.6

After a few years of inactivity, a new version of CBoard has been released. This version no longer sends SIGINT to the chess engine. It used to be that there was no problem when sending this signal. But somehow it breaks engine IO when sent.

This version also has a faster move history validator. You can download it here.

New QPwmc repository

The QPwmc GIT repository has moved from the ‘next’ branch of pwmdedit to it’s own repository.
