I did not test enough the previous release with the new Debian version, and it seems that format-specifiers warnings that were previously harmless became a problem, especially visible with Wozamp's audio streaming.
This release should fix it.

Fixes:

  • surl-server audio streaming

v22.0.2 - Tech debt slashing

This release has very few new features:

  • The surl proxy image is now Debian Bookworm based.
  • A lot of work has been put into optimizing Mastodon for size, so that there is plenty of room available for the potential next round of feature.
  • Mastodon gets support for "Account Metadata", aka the profile fields.

Bugfixes:

  • Mastodon Image viewer fix on non-enhanced II. (Serial port wrongly opened)
  • Mastodon: Profile pictures viewing fixed

v22.0.1 - A plethora of storage

In this release, surl-server implements VSDrive, and some programs make use of it.

VSDrive is a storage-over-serial protocol, that allow an Apple II with a serial card to read and write to remote ProDOS images. Server implementations are available at least in ADTPro, in Bobbi Manners' veserver.py, and surl-server.

  • The surl-server proxy provides up to two ProDOS devices over serial;
  • The STP client,
  • Mastodon's image viewer and composer,
  • And the standalone image viewer can make use of these devices.

In addition to this, the Fujinet Weather program is now available for surl-server users, after a quick port to change the network proxy library.

The Surl Protocol version has been bumped.

v21.2.0 - Print everything! (errata)

In this release, the proxy now listens on the printer serial port at 9600bps, and interprets whatever arrives as ImageWriter II data. That's it: surl-server is now also an ImageWriter II!
After receiving a document, it will either be available on ftp://surl-server.local/prints/, or be sent to the printer of your choice.
Be sure to read the docs : https://www.colino.net/wordpress/en/surl-server-a-serial-proxy-for-8bit-computers/
and/or how it works: https://www.colino.net/wordpress/en/print-from-an-apple-ii-to-any-modern-printer/

This release is 21.1.0 plus the possibility to use surl-server as only a printer emulator, without using the proxy capability.

Mastodon gets usability fixes:

  • Show the user the error when toot send fails, and give them a chance to fix the cause
  • Fix error handling in toot loading
  • Mention the person when choosing 'Compose' while viewing their profile
  • User manual updates to document polls

A few library functions have been rewritten in assembly for size improvements, benefiting Wozamp, Woztubes and Mastodon.

No proxy update necessary.

This release brings incremental improvements, and fixes.

Mastodon for Apple II:

  • Size optimisations
  • Fix logging in to Mastodon 4.3+ instances
  • Handle all types of media on 65c02 and 6502 (image, video, gif, audio). On 6502, video is not double-buffered, for space reasons.

  • "Play All" is now recursive (and starts at current line)

  • Fix race condition at start of streams decoding

Note: as indicated by the release number, the proxy protocol has been updated.
