Message-ID: <65469.80.203.95.160.1102359097.squirrel@webmail.olsr.org> Hi all, It is my great pleasure to announce the availability of olsrd 0.4.8! In many regards this release marks a milestone in the history of olsrd. The project itself has gone more and more from being my pet project to be a community driven open-source project. One of the most interesting new feature in this release is the experimental link quality based routing designed by the c-base community in Berlin. A detailed introduction to this new routing scheme can be found at: http://www.olsr.org/docs/README-Link-Quality.html Everyone running a wireless MESH network is very much encouraged to test this new functionality. All feedback will be very much appreciated. Olsrd has also changed license from GPL to BSD-style as we feel this will bring more users to the project. Besides this, some of the many extensive changes since 0.4.7 include: * FreeBSD port * Mac OSX port * New more flexible configfile format introducing many new configuration options. A new and modular config file parser and a new internal configuration structure. * A rewrite of the internal buffering allowing for better support of "stacking" of multiple OLSR messages in the same packet saving bandwidth. * Rewritten message generation code for better handling of sending of partial messages. * Fewer dependencies. Olsrd no longer requires a thread library to build/run. Read more at http://www.olsr.org/index.cgi?action=clog Due to the extensive amount of new code in this release there will be many new bugs. Please file bugreports in the bugtracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=681702&group_id=117612 Plugin developers will notice some changes in the plugin interface in this release, direct questions to the mailinglists. Let me finish off by saying GREAT WORK to Thomas, Elektra and the rest of the c-base community! I know we are all very excited about this release!

My Christmas present to you guys is a shiny new plugin called HTTPINFO :-) Even though we no doubt will se some great GUI emerging when the redesign of the GUI<->olsrd interface is done, I figurd we could need some light-weight, cross platfom, application independent way of displaying information about the running olsrd process. Voila - HTTPINFO emerged! As the name suggests the plugin implements a tiny HTTP server which delivers a HTML formatted page of information when requested(using GET). In other words, you point you WWW-browser to the IP of the node running the plugin and it will display a page such as this one: http://www.olsr.org/files/httpinfoexampl.html by all means - the design is not in any way final, and the plugin will be seeing lots of updates before 0.4.9, but it displays close to all the information I have intended for it. The plugin takes one parameter "Port". This sets the TCP port on which the HTTP server will run. It defaults to 8080 so if you are not running any web server on the node that is to run the plugin and you want to be able to access the HTML page only using the IP/host of the node as the URL, then "Port" should be set to 80. If not you must add :portnumber to the URL in you browser. Example: http://mynode:8080 if the host is "mynode" and the plugin runs the HTTP server on the default port. olsrd 0.4.8 users will be able to use the plugin - but no link information will be displayed as this requires a update of the plugin interface. This update is available in the current CVS version of olsrd and will be part of 0.4.9. The source of the plugin is available from CVS. As the sourceforge public-cvs repository takes a few hours to update I've made the source of the plugin available here: http://www.olsr.org/files/httpinfo-pre0.1.tar.bz2 this tarball also contains a precompiled version of the plugin. I hope you'll enjoy this one :-) - Andreas -- Andreas Tønnesen http://www.olsr.org From (spam-protected) Mon Dec 20 15:54:34 2004 From: (spam-protected) (Thomas Lopatic) Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2004 15:54:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [OLSR-announce] HTTPINFO In-Reply-To: <41C49046.60900@olsr.org> References: <41C49046.60900@olsr.org> Message-ID: <2936.202.88.229.36.1103554474.squirrel@202.88.229.36> This plug-in is SO COOL!
