Zephyr 2.0.1 has been released on athena-dist in
pub/ATHENA/zephyr/dist/zephyr-2.0.1.tar.gz. There is also a patch
from 2.0 to 2.0.1.
This patch release fixes two relatively serious bugs in the Zephyr 2.0
release:
* The new functions to convert 16-bit and 32-bit values to
Zephyr-Ascii didn't work properly. I'm not certain of the
precise circumstances where they fail; it seems to depend on
the behavior of htons() and htonl() on various systems.
Zephyr 2.0.1 uses a cleaner algorithm to do the conversion,
and should fix a number of subtle platform-dependent errors
(SERVNAKs, bad packets received by zhm, etc.).
* The server would spin in an tight loop when started, until
the first packet was sent.
If you notice any remaining bugs, please send them to
zephyr-bugs@mit.edu.
