Roadshow 1.12 released
« on: October 09, 2016, 09:56:34 AM »
The Roadshow TCP/IP stack for the Amiga has been updated to version 1.12 and is available immediately. An updated demonstration version is available, too, as well as the updated software development kit.

A free update is available for customers who are using Roadshow 1.11, upgrading it to version 1.12. Note: if you are still using Roadshow 1.8 you need to upgrade to version 1.11 first before you can upgrade it to version 1.12.

The changes in Roadshow 1.12 are as follows:

1. A buffer overflow bug has been fixed which could occur when
   querying network interface hardware addresses. This bug could
   cause the "ShowNetStatus" command to crash.

2. The ftp command has been reworked, fixing bugs which had been
   present for years (buffer overflows, etc.).

3. Overlapping name resolution operations can no longer collide
   with each other so easily and produce corrupt query data. This
   problem could occur only very rarely.

4. New API functions for name resolution have been added, which are
   common in the Unix world, for which no alternatives had been
   available before. These enhancements are new for Amiga
   TCP/IP software in general.

5. If Roadshow sets up a network interface using the DHCP protocol
   it can now request that the DHCP server sends its responses
   directly to Roadshow (unicast) instead of broadcasting them to
   the local network.

6. Changing the system clock time (e.g. during daylight saving
   time transitions) no longer affect Roadshow's internal
   time keeping.

7. A new ready-made network configuration file for PCMCIA cards
   using the "cnet16.device" driver is provided under
   "Storage/NetInterfaces/CNet16").

8. The reference documentation has been updated.

More detailed descriptions of the changes can be found in the "ReadMe" file of the Roadshow archive, and the SDK archive.

Fantastic, maybe now I can use the CLI ftp client on the regular. The GUI ones are nice, but take so long to start up on my 1230.

I still need to get NFS set up on my Amiga like I do my Falcon.  Seems simpler to use once it's set up than pulling things over via FTP.  Granted on the Amiga I have a browser that'll pull in things from Aminet.  I've yet to get a browser working correctly on the Falcon, though I do have most other things set up nicely.

Purchased! Will be able to try it out later today.

I'm sure this has been asked already somewhere, but can I install the full version over the demo or should I clean out the demo version first?

I'm pretty sure it will let you uninstall the current version. After that you run the installation again. You should have the option to backup your settings.

Didn't know they made one. Not in the Big Book.

I do not know if it works, but a configuration file would look something like this (save the contents as a text file by the name of "IOBlix" and move that file into the "DEVS:NetInterface" drawer, then restart your Amiga):

# $VER: IOBlix 1.1 (12.10.2016)
#
# Configuration for the optional Ethernet hardware add-on
# for the IOBlix serial/parallel card, using the
# "ioblixether.device" driver (http://aminet.net/driver/other/IOBlixUsr.lha)

# The device name is mandatory
device=ioblixether.device

# If not provided, unit number 0 will be used. You may
# have to change this if there are multiple cards of the
# same type installed in your machine, or if your network
# hardware supports several independent connections
#unit=0

# You must either pick a fixed (static) IPv4 address and
# a corresponding subnet mask, or request DHCP (dynamic)
# network address configuration.
# You can combine address/netmask/dhcp, which has the effect
# of asking the DHCP server to assign the requested IPv4
# address and subnet mask to this interface, if possible.
#address=192.168.0.1
#netmask=255.255.255.0
configure=dhcp

# If no DHCP server is present in your network, you can
# use automatic interface IPv4 address assignment through
# the ZeroConf protocol. Note that this will not set up
# default route and DNS servers for you, only the interface
# address is configured.
#configure=auto

# This variant of automatic IPv4 address assignment should
# be used in a wireless network instead of 'configure=auto'
#configure=fastauto

# You can enable diagnostic messages which can be helpful in
# tracking down configuration errors.
#debug=yes

# You can choose how much memory will be used when handling
# incoming and outgoing network traffic for this device.
# The default is to reserve 32 buffers of 1500 byte each, both
# inbound and outbound traffic. Larger values may provide
# better performance.
#iprequests=32
#writerequests=32

# For diagnostic and monitoring purposes it can be helpful to
# capture network traffic that flows through this interface.
# To enable this option, select one of filter=local,
# filter=ipandarp or filter=everything
#filter=local
#filter=ipandarp
#filter=everything

# This option disables a workaround required for the Ariadne
# network hardware, which, if enabled, would otherwise cause
# the interface setup procedure to take longer than really
# necessary.
requiresinitdelay=no
