0.0.5

• IPv6 support!

  • Thanks to 'Tanja84dk' for addressing the real need of IPv6.

• Fixed bug causing crash / segmentation fault (invalid write) when receiving malformed rcon packet.

• Program makes use of C99 feature (variable-length arrays) so "-std=gnu99" flag on GCC-compiler must be used to avoid unecessary warnings.

• Rcon receive buffer is now bigger (2024 bytes -> 10240 bytes).

  • Thanks to 'gman_ftw' @ Bukkit forums.

• Fixed invalid error message when receiving empty rcon packet (10 bytes).

  • Thanks to 'pkmnfrk' @ bukkit forums.

• Terminal mode now closes automatically when rcon socket is closed by server or if packet size cannot be retrieved correctly.

• Client now tries to clean the incoming socket data if last package was out of spec.

0.0.4

• Reverted back to default getopts options error handler (opterr = 1). Custom error handler requires rewriting.
• Some cosmetic changes in program output strings.
• Program usage(); function now waits for enter before exiting on Windows.

0.0.3

• Colors are now supported on Windows too!
• Terminal mode is now triggered with "-t" flag. "-i" flag still works for backwards compatibility.
• Bug fixes (Packet size check always evaluating false and color validity check always evaluating true).

0.0.2

• License changed from 'ISC License' to 'zlib/libpng License'.
• Bug fixes & code cleanups
• Interactive mode (-i flag). Client acts as interactive terminal.
• Program return value is now the number of rcon commmands sent successfully. If connecting or authentication fails, the return value is -1.
• Colors are now enabled by default. Now '-c' flag disables the color support.

0.0.1

• Added experimental support for bukkit colors. Should work with any sh compatible shell.
• Packet string data limited to max 2048 (DATA_BUFFSIZE) bytes. No idea how Minecraft handles multiple rcon packets. If someone knows, please mail me so I can implement it.

TODO:

• Make the receive buffer dynamic??
• Change some of the packet size issues to fatal errors.
• Code cleanups.
• Check global variables (remove if possible).
• Add some protocol checks (proper packet id check etc..).
• Preprocessor (#ifdef / #ifndef) cleanups.
• Follow valve rcon protocol standard strictly?
• Multiple packet support if minecraft supports it?!
• Investigate if player chat messages gets sent through rcon. If they are, the messaging system requires rewriting.
• Name resolving should be integrated to connection creation function.
• Dont try to cleanup the socket if not authenticated
• Better sockets error reporting
• Better error function (VA_ARGS support)
