Please read it carefully. * * * This document is intended to describe the significant differences between hylafax-4.1.1 and hylafax-4.1, point out any known incompatibilites and issues, and provide the reader with directions to further resources regarding HylaFAX. * NEW FEATURES * * improved prototype config support for AT&T, Prometheus, MultiTech, Hayes, Conexant, Boca, US Robotics, and Practical Peripherals modems * 7-bit text support for typerules * bulk faxes now drop in requeue priority rather than increase * pass CIDNumber and CIDName through to faxgetty for CID/DNIS routing * FILETYPE support in FaxDispatch (requires metamail when using TIFF/PDF) * integrated Linux DSO support * coverpage "from" options and faxcover behavior and documentation harmony * added Class1SendMsgDelay and ModemSoftResetCmdDelay defaults and options * added Class1EOPWaitCmd, Class1PPMWaitCmd, and Class1TCFWaitCmd in lieu of Class1Send*Delay options which causes Class 1 modems to use +FTS instead of software pauses in these instances. * various other bugfixes, minor enhancements, and additions ** please refer to CHANGES for a detailed list of code changes * KNOWN ISSUES * * Specific support for fax classes 1.0 and 2.1 are not yet implemented. * Server-based fax archival support is still unimplemented (although documented). * When running in Class 2/2.0, NSF can be parsed incorrectly. * Copy quality checking by cqtest is imperfect. * sendfax use of ~/.hylarc differs from its use of hyla.conf * faxrm and faxalter contain format string vulnerabilities. ** Please refer to HylaFAX Bugzilla for a detailed list of issues. * INCOMPATIBILITIES * * The popular faxrcvd-mail scripts have been deprecated by FILETYPE use in FaxDispatch, and unchanged, will not work with faxgetty in 4.1.1. See 'man faxrcvd' for details. * Failed faxes now have status "F" instead of "D". Most client programs which display/report job status will need some alteration to accomodate this. * HylaFAX 4.1.1 may not compile with gcc-3.0, and limited support is available for Mac OS-X. * HYLAFAX BINARY PACKAGES * Binary packages for some operating systems and platforms are available.
