#plptools update!
Ports
The #HaikuOS port works with on-board serial ports. However, USB RS232 adapters do not work. This is because of an issue with the usb_serial
driver in Haiku. DTR and RTS can't be set reliably, and RTS and CTS can't be detected.
There is still one small issue with the Haiku port. A GNU regex test in ./configure
is segfaulting. This can be bypassed, but we want it fixed. That involves delving into autotools, so we'll see how I get on!
Both the #FreeBSD and #NetBSD ports are working! With a combination of brute force and the help of a few FediFolk, these now compile. (I did think that the NetBSD port was severely broken, but I was just using the wrong serial device. Sigh.)
MacOS is still stable and happy.
We're not planning on adding any more ports unless people really beg!
Bugs
Just a handful of small fixes, like plpftp
not segfaulting any more when you press CTRL-C. I might have introduced a new bug into plpftp regarding Daylight Savings... I'll try to fix that soon. In my defence, Psion's implementation of DST is, to put it politely, rudimentary.
