Graphical FTP Server Management Utility

Latest version: 0.4
Changes: ChangeLog

ChangeLog

  New Features:
  * Show list of system changes needed before using user manager
  * Progress bar showing download/upload progress

  Bug fixes:
  * Don't fail because the pureftpd activity directory doesn't exist.
  On ubuntu, it is always removed on reboot and created on first FTP login.
  Pureadmin now understands this
  * More robust handling of creating ftpuser/ftpgroup accounts and ftp directory.
  * Easier to enable debug output (no re-compile needed)
  * Check /proc to determine whether pureftpd is running or
  not. More robust than looking for the PID-file.

  * Translation updates: fr, cs, tr, sv

  New Features:
  * Included weblinks in the help menu to online docs and forum.
  * Include icons of various sizes to limit the effect of scaling from
   the Desktop Environment/Window Manager.
  * Install sized icons to the hicolor icon theme.
  
  Bug fixes:
  * Notification icon:
   - Don't show if main window has focus.
   - Hide when main window gets focused (and not only by
   clicking the icon)
  * Finally fix the startup-notify bug that triggered on sudo-based
   systems and resulted in a busy cursor for the first ~10 seconds of
   running pureadmin.
  

New Features:
  * Added notification icon support. New connections as well as
   disconnections are notified in the system tray. (Configurable!)
  * Added rough support for using gksu (on Ubuntu and similar)
   to raise privilieges when libgnomesu isn't available.
  * Make pureadmin multi threaded: The activity fetching function is now run as a separate
   thread instead of blocking the main loop.
  
  Bugfixes:
  * Cleanup among the FAM wrapper functions. They didn't need to be as generic as I first wrote them.
  * Remove references to GTK+ > 2.0 symbols. PureAdmin should now run perfectly on GTK+ version 2.0
   and above!
  * PureAdmin now detects if pureftpd is running through inetd instead of standalone.

  Misc:
  * Major code re-factoring and cleanup: use libglade for the GUI instead of glade code generation.
  * Upgrade to use glib-based binreloc API.

  Translations:
  * Updated Swedish translation


  Bugfixes:
  * Fixed a bunch of bugs when built w/o binreloc support
  * Updated prefix.[ch] and acinclude.m4 to latest versions from apkg CVS.
  * Various fixes to the pureadminsearch script.

  * UTF8 login-names and filenames should now work everywhere in the program

  * Added swedish translation
  * Added binary relocation support. hardcoded $prefix is now replaced at runtime!! (autopackage stuff)

  Bugfixes:

   the expected size (with unpredictable result!)
  * Fixed a rarely occurring floating point exception related to the "advanced info" frame in
   the main gui.
  * Fixed the startup errors. Now there's only one dialog for all
   errors.
  * Made FAM-related errors more human understandable.
  * Fixed a segfault that occurred because of a free() on a static string.

  * Use FAM (File Alteration Monitor) for logfile-viewer.
   If fam isn't available, the logfile-viewer won't work.
  * Added start/stop of server.
  * Some minor UI enhancements.
  Bugfixes:
  * Logfile-viewer: Date parser completely removed - it was too
  buggy!
  * user-manager:
   - Changes couldn't be saved when /etc and /tmp
   was on different filesystems.
   - Bandwidth limitations are now in kb/s as the GUI says it
   is (it was in b/s before :-))

   - Change the progress string to display ???'s when the
   progress is unknown (instead of 000's and infinitive)
* Preferences:
   - Fixed a crash that occurred when opening the prefwindow.

   $PURE_PASSWDFILE.

  * More robust checking for pureftpd installation and binaries.
  * Better, but in no way perfect, logfile handling.
  * More dialogs that tells people what went wrong.
  * RedHat 9 (others?) compile error should be fixed
  (usr_manager.h)
  * and perhaps some more that I can't remember
  

0.1.6

  Bugfixes:
  srv_comm.c: Directory wasn't closed and the maximum open-file-limit
   was reached after pureadmin has run for a while.
  logfile.c: - (Probably) Fixed a bug with log-dates, avoiding a
     segfault when the date from the log-file was improperly
     interpreted.
   - Logfile was opened more than once at the same time,
     allocating unnecessary file-descriptors.

  * Various bug fixes:
   - Widget sensitivity issues in user-manager.
