Version 1.5 -- Beta Test 3 -- July 2018

Bugs Fixed:

• Issue 132 - Under certain conditions, outgoing connected mode data would get stuck in a queue and not be transmitted. This could happen if client application sends a burst of data larger than the "window" size (MAXFRAME or EMAXFRAME option).

New Features:

• "NOXID" configuration file option to avoid sending XID command to listed station(s). If other end is a partial v2.2 implementation, which recognizes SABME, but not XID, we would waste a lot of time resending XID many times before giving up. This is less drastic than the "V20" option which doesn't even attempt to use v2.2 with listed station(s).

Notes:

Windows binary distribution now uses gcc (MinGW) version 6.3.0.

How to install on Linux:

git clone http://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf
cd direwolf
git checkout 1.5-beta3
make
sudo make install

How to install on Windows:

Download direwolf-1.5-beta3-win.zip (the file with "win" in its name) and extract the files. Run direwolf.exe in a command window. See User Guide for more details.

How to install on Macintosh OS X

Read the User Guide in the doc directory. It is a lot more complicated than Linux.

If you have any questions, post a message to the Dire Wolf packet TNC discussion group. I don't have a Mac and probably won't be able to help you. I rely on others, in the user community, for the Mac version support.
