Revision history for Perl extension Device::Modem.
1.53 Thu Apr 01 13:49:00 CET 2010
- ***CHANGED*** default log file position
from /var/log/modem.log to /tmp/modem.log.
Too many failed tests and user reports made me
reconsider my poor default choice.
- Added voice dialing. Just dialing though.
You can't perform real voice calls through Device::Modem (yet :)
Thanks to Marek Jaros.
- Added ';' (voice dialing) and 'p' (pause) as valid values
for dial() number.
1.52 Sun Mar 28 15:50:00 CET 2010
- Added automatic port reconnection in the port() method.
This should improve connection reliability and reduce risk
of "Can't call method XXXXXX on undefined value YYYYYY" errors.
1.51 Sun Jul 5 09:46:08 CEST 2009
- Fixed documentation for answer() method, timeout was declared
to be in seconds instead of milliseconds. Thanks to Mikko Puisto for reporting.
1.50 Tue Sep 30 22:59:00 CEST 2008
- Fixed use of wrong 'error' loglevel for SysLog plugin
1.49 Sat May 31 22:38:00 CEST 2008
- Changed default wait cycles and timeout to be more reliable with slow
devices after several user reports.
- Fixed man page for Xmodem.pm module. Incorporated fix from the debian package.
1.48 Sun Jun 24 09:30:16 CEST 2007
- atsend() method made more reliable with longer commands (ex. longer sms messages).
Thanks to Ben Knight for his bug report and patch.
1.47 Thu Apr 20 22:16:17 CET 2006
- Sensible speedup in the command/response cycle.
Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for his contribution.
1.46
1.45 Tue Nov 15 23:29:40 CET 2005
- Fixed dial() now it does not wait for timeout in presence of a valid
remote response (NO CARRIER, BUSY, ...)
- Fine tuned answer read cycle times
- Added constant $Device::Modem::WAITCMD for wait time before issuing commands (atsend)
- Added patch to make Xmodem work from Aaron Mitti <amitti at 10east dot com>.
- Now dial() accepts also '#' sign in numbers (thanks to Pierre Hilson).
1.44 Sat Apr 30 23:29:03 CET 2005
- (again) now cygwin and darwin platforms should be detected correctly.
(thanks to Rob Johnson for reporting)
- added a preliminary version of Device::Modem::UsRobotics module,
that allows to access voice/fax messages stored on your UsRobotics
message modem. Read the (incomplete) docs for more details.
1.42 Sun Sep 19 21:12:10 CET 2004
- little fix for correct MacOSX os detection and SerialPort inclusion
(thanks to Lidie Steve for reporting)
1.39
1.38
1.37 Wed Aug 18 09:21:50 CET 2004
- parse_answer() now in scalar context (string) returns *all* modem
answer instead of removing the last string (OK/ERROR/...)
- documented new example scripts: caller-id.pl and xmodem.pl
1.36
1.35
1.34 Sun Feb 22 18:12:54 CET 2004
- dial() now should return correctly after a successful connect,
without unnecessarily waiting for timeout
- updated changes file missing in 1.35
1.33
1.32
1.31 Fri Jan 23 01:14:01 CET 2004
- Improved reliability in answer() method (sempre lui!),
that was more unstable due to recent changes.
- Documented _answer() internal function to get the raw modem reponse
instead of response string stripped of all cr/lf chars.
1.29
1.30 Sat Nov 8 18:23:02 CET 2003
- improved answer() method speed. Now it runs sensibly faster, but needs
explicit timeout parameter if you want to wait for answers (dialing
a remote modem, for example)
- implemented a basic xmodem file transfer. *DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS*
- documentation now stays only in docs/ folder, separate from main module
- now there is a way to get the raw modem answers (internal _answer() method)
1.25
1.26
1.27
1.28 Sun May 18 17:19:23 CET 2003
- dial() now works as expected, returning the `CONNECT' or `BUSY'
or whatever message without hanging for minutes;
- answer() routine now is definitely more reliable than before:
now everytime the buffer receives input from modem, it does
not restart counting the timeout. Removed also the possibility
of infinite loop if modem always receives garbage chars (like
on a RAW PPP link);
- Added full documentation for every method;
- Added a FAQ document in new "docs/" folder;
- new(): added possibility to pass a custom log object as `log'
property;
- fixed log levels for File and Syslog plugins. Implemented
correct log level masking also for Syslog.
1.23 Wed Dec 4 00:34:52 CET 2002
- little documentation adjustments in main Modem.pm class;
- removed use of `warnings.pm'
- now File log class opens the log file once and writes
on already opened file handle, until final close().
- Thanks to Joerg Neuberger for spotting out a problem with
older perls (5.005_xx) and `use warnings'
1.19
1.20 Thu Sep 12 00:19:11 CEST 2002
1.22 Thu Sep 26 00:16:49 CEST 2002
- improved command/response cycle with proper handling of timeout
and idle/data cycles. Now it is more reliable also with fairly
big serial messages (removed this from TODO list).
- removed warnings on undefined answer strings.
1.17
1.18 Tue Sep 3 21:57:11 CEST 2002
- removed some warnings and error in regexp pattern, slight changes in
documentation
1.16 Mon Jun 17 21:58:22 CEST 2002
- added S_register() method to read/write S-registers;
- store_number() to store an address-book number (cannot retrieve yet);
- restore_factory_settings() now accepts a number of profile (default=0);
- dial() now dials also address book numbers (only if supplied number
is composed of 1 digit: the address book position, from 0 to 9).
- status() method added, which looks up CTS, DSR, RLSD and RING signals;
1.15 Tue Jun 04 23:20:12 CEST 2002
- modified makefile/test procedure to pass automated cpan tests
1.14 Mon Jun 03 21:53:05 CEST 2002
- added is_active() method to test if modem ... (guess :-)
- tested, now seems to work, dial() method
- fixed a *bad* bug in modem answer parsing routine
- better timing and less waits in AT commands
- moved "PRE-ALPHA" to "ALPHA" :-)
1.10 Wed Apr 10 00:11:35 CEST 2002
- modified docs, license details
- fixed wrong hangup() call
1.08 Wed Apr 3 23:31:58 CEST 2002
- fixed logging classes auto-load mechanism
- added parse_answer() function, to easily retrieve
informational responses
- added TO-DO list to pod
1.07 Wed Apr 3 22:05:00 CEST 2002
- renamed `serial' parameter as `port', syncing with
existent docs
- removed some warnings on parameters passing
1.05 Sat Mar 30 16:19:40 CET 2002
- added and documented dial() and repeat(), still
to be tested!
1.04 Mon Mar 25 07:37:20 CET 2002
