AmigaUUCP 1.13 is now available via ftp to uunet.uu.net, patches from
1.12 to 1.13 have been posted to alt.sys.amiga.uucp.patches and are
also available on uunet.uu.net . You can also use
BITFTP@pucc.princeton.edu to retrieve the stuff, send a message to
that email address with a subject line of HELP and a message body
containing a single line, HELP, for information on how to use BITFTP.
1.13 is the 'final' release that 1.08 was supposed to be until the next
major release. The changes between 1.12 and 1.13 is in BATCHNEWS,
which now uses a different lock file name (it was locking up uuxqt),
and a new config variable, LockDir, which allows you to specify the
directory in which locks are created. Also, uuarchive and amiuufilter
no longer hard code directories, but use the appropriate config
entries.
The latter causes many executables to be 'different' but fixes a bug
in pre 37.39 kickstarts (in OS 2.0) that causes the RAM disk to loose
memory... you simply set this variable to the temporary partition
on your hard drive, to RAD:, or elsewhere -- that isn't in RAM:
Since most executables are effected by the lib source patch, it is
not economical to post them all to patches.
The next release will contain a completely new locking system by
CAW that uses a shared library & message ports, but I did not want
to include it in 1.13 because I have already made the mistake of
including things that break otherthings (i.e. inadequate testing)
