help2man 1.33.1

Overview

`help2man’ is a tool for automatically generating simple manual
pages from program output.

It is intended to provide an easy way for software authors to
include a manual page in their distribution without having to
maintain that document.

Given a program which produces resonably standard `–help’ and
`–version’ outputs, `help2man’ will attempt to re-arrange that
output into something which resembles a manual page.

Availability

The current version is available from:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/help2man/

News

• Support for generating localised manual pages has been added
  (–locale option). Currently supported locales are French and
  Polish.
• Check for errors writing to output page.

Radius 1.1

Hello,

GNU Radius 1.1 is released. This is a maintenance release over
the previous version 1.0, incorporating several new features.

GNU Radius is a set of tools for remote user authentication and
accounting. The package includes server daemon, various client
utilities, and a set of administrator tools.

For more information on Radius, including links to file
downloads, please see the Radius web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/radius
and the Radius project page http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/radius.

GNU Radius is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/radius and
and the mirror sites worldwide (see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
for the list of those).

The MD5 checksums of the files are:

71f58a81c47d99592a8e6f2a0833565a radius-1.1.tar.bz2

The list of user-visible changes follows:

• Bugfixes:
  • Do not stop decoding of the incoming request upon encountering
    of an unknown or malformed attribute (‘no Acct-Status-Record
    bug’).
  • Makefile.am’s fixed to allow for `make DESTDIR=whatever
    install’.
  • Close stdout when running Acct-Ext-Program, so that its
    eventual output does not disturb the main process.
  • Fixed extended request comparison.
  • Fixed bug in hints processing that caused coredumps if the
    hints entry attempted to replace the first attribute in the
    request.
• New features:
  • Caching of the results of SQL queries during authentication and
    accounting.
  • Strings in raddb/config may contain escaped characters. This is
    useful mainly for username-chars statement.
  • Test shell significantly improved.

Regards,
Sergey
