I can't really remember what changed between the first release
ax25-module.tar.gz and the second release ax25-module-1.tar.gz but here is
an inspired guess at all the changes so far:


From standard kernel to ax25-module.tar.gz:

AX.25, NET/ROM and the new KISS driver are available as a single loadable
module.

PI2 and PT drivers converted to modules.

A new driver for BPQ Ethernet is now used instead of the previous method, it
too is available as a module.

Within the PI2 (or was it PT) driver, removed the code that returned the
current settings when KISS was used to change some value. This is against
the KISS specification.

Hooks put into the code to support the eventual inclusion of Rose.

Patches to AX.25 and NET/ROM to add features and remove bugs.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.11.


From ax25-module.tar.gz to ax25-module-1.tar.gz:

The patches to AX.25 and NET/ROM to add features and remove bugs removed
since they appeared in the standard kernel from 2.0.12.

The KISS driver was split off into its own driver, it now has the same
status as 'optional' as PI2, PT and friends.

NET/ROM is now a seperate module from AX.25.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.12.


From ax25-module-1.tar.gz to ax25-module-2.tar.gz:

Added extra cleanup code to PI2, PT and NET/ROM modules so that removal of a
module will free up its resources. Without this insmod-ing PI2 or PT after
rmmod-ing it would possibly fail.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.13.


From ax25-module-2.tar.gz to ax25-module-3.tar.gz:

Removed bug when NET/ROM attempted to remove a non-existent registered
callsign with AX.25.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.14.


From ax25-module-3.tar.gz to ax25-module-4.tar.gz:

Added barring of associating a callsign with root.

Modified NET/ROM node adding code.

Added new (exported) function from AX.25, asc2ax.

Fixed AX.25 makefile to allow it to be compiled with MODVERSIONS defined.

Fixed callsign nasty in AX.25, it now behaves like the original code. I'm
suprised nobody spotted this one.

Added the Rose protocol, X.25 PLP by any other name.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.15.


From ax25-module-4.tar.gz to ax25-module-5.tar.gz:

Changed NET/ROM node adding code back to original.

Added new (exported) function from AX.25, ax25_link_up.

All protocol modules make an attempt at releasing memory allocated to their
routing tables when the module is removed.

Made start at adding IP over Rose, not finished.

General work on Rose.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.17.


From ax25-module-5.tar.gz to ax25-module-6.tar.gz:

AX.25, NET/ROM and ROSE brought into line with the code included in Linux
2.1.17. For the most part these changes are minor for AX.25 and NET/ROM,
just a few changes of error return codes in a few places. For ROSE quite a
lot of work has been done, including Terry Dawsons routing mask.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.27.


From ax25-module-6.tar.gz to ax25-module-7.tar.gz:

Added the manual setting of NET/ROM routes via digipeaters.

Increased the number of ROSE devices to six.

Made the code more like the original Linux 2.0.27 code, the patch size is
therefore reduced.

Code is now in line with pre-2.1.19.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.27.


From ax25-module-7.tar.gz to ax25-module-8.tar.gz:

Fixed bug in ROSE routing with an odd number in the routing mask.

New AX.25 ioctl to get information about a socket, SIOCAX25GETINFO.

New ROSE ioctl to use a common L2 callsign on all ports, SIOCRSL2CALL.

Added Frederics (F1OAT) patches to support pseudo-digipeating for the
support of FPAC and other uses.

Put an IP over AX.25 fix in by Joerg Reuter to fix a Linux 2.0.x specific
problem.

Code is now in line with pre-2.1.21.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.27.


From ax25-module-8.tar.gz to ax25-module-9.tar.gz:

Added forwarding of packets onto a new device, two new ioctls to support it.

Added patch from Tomi Manninen to change NET/ROM routing for the better.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.27.


From ax25-module-9.tar.gz to ax25-module-10.tar.gz:

Use of the sysctl interface for parameter setting instead of ioctls.

Uprated ROSE routing based on ideas from FPAC, a timeout on failed L2
connections, the value is settable via the sysctl interface.

Writing to a disconnected socket will now generated a SIGPIPE and will set
errno to EPIPE.

Socket accounting seems to be fixed.

AX.25 bug spotted my Tomi Manninen is hopefully cured.

A lot of code cleanups in all protocols.

This code is in advance of what will appear in 2.1.22, many bugs are fixed.

Thomas Sailers soundmodem patch.

Patch made against Linux 2.0.28.


From ax25-module-10.tar.gz to ax25-module-11.tar.gz:

Changed AX.25 sysctl interface to be more logical. Each device appears as a
directory with each parameter having its own file. Thanks for Joerg Reuter
for this.

Renamed patch file to better reflect its purpose.


From ax25-module-11.tar.gz to ax25-module-12.tar.gz:

Fixed patch to make it correct :-)

Removed digipeating from the kernel.

Changed AX.25 segmentation decision making.

Removed AX25_MAXQUEUE, a very very broken concept.

Fixed ROSE state machine bug, but not totally :-(

Patch made against Linux 2.0.29.
