SILC Toolkit 1.1 Beta1


The new version of the SILC Toolkit is now available!  The source package
of the software is available from the following sources:

         http://silcnet.org/
         ftp://ftp.silcnet.org/

Here we got with the brand new SILC Toolkit 1.1 Beta1.  As the name 
suggests we are still in beta which means that there may be stuff that 
doesn't yet work.  However, I can make a semi-binding promise that the 
Toolkit APIs are now frozen and will not change anymore.  So, if you 
haven't yet started porting your application to 1.1 now is a high time to 
start it.  Read the porting manual at:

 	http://silcnet.org/docs/toolkit/porting.html

Summary of Changes
------------------

o Rewritten and improved SILC Client Library API.

o Improved runtime library.  Added SILC Async Operations API,
   SILC Data Stack API, SILC Condition Variable API, SILC Stream API,
   SILC Socket Stream API, SILC Fd Stream API, SILC FSM API, SILC Time API,
   SILC Snprintf API, SILC Atomic Operations API.

   Improved the following APIs: SILC Buffer Format API, SILC Schedule API,
   SILC Strutil API, SILC Mutex API, SILC Thread API, SILC Net API,
   SILC Buffer API.

[WEB REQ] Config File Error - SILC Server 1.0.4


Software: SILC Server 1.0.4  
Operating System: Ubuntu 6.06 PPC
Installation: source

I\'ve been attempting to run silcd and have run into problems with the config file

The initial error was:
htregz <at> iMac:/usr/local/silc/etc$ sudo ../sbin/silcd
Error while parsing config file: Unknown option.
  file /usr/local/silc/etc/silcalgs.conf line 123:  ?

I commented out the Include to see what would happen and received this error message:

htregz <at> iMac:/usr/local/silc/sbin$ sudo ./silcd
Error while parsing config file: Unknown option.
  file /etc/silc/silcd.conf line 537:  ?

Any ideas or suggestions would be great... Google searches aren\'t proving overly helpful.

of the software is available from the following sources:

          http://silcnet.org/
          ftp://ftp.silcnet.org/

An entirely new version of SILC Client, the version 1.1 Beta3, is out. 
This is still in beta and can still have some issues.  If you encounter 
any problems please report them either by sending bug report to 
silc-devel@... or fill out a bug report at 
http://silcnet.org/support/bugs.php.

The 1.1 is not full of new features, instead it is based on new rewritten 
client library and the upcoming SILC Toolkit 1.1.  There are still couple 
of missing features that will appear in later beta releases.

The highlight of Beta3 is the possibility to compile only the SILC Plugin
for the Irssi chat client.

Summary of Changes
------------------

Here are the higlights of the new features and changes in 1.1.

o Support for compiling the SILC Plugin

o Myriad of other fixes and changes.

I'm not having any luck with Beta4. Beta2 seemed OK, I missed 3, but 4 will 
not build the silc binary (./configure && make ):

Today I hit this again with 1.1 Beta5, but I figured out what the problem was. 

As it turns out, either from an old silc-client or silc-server, there used to 
be a libsilc.so (I forget the version(s) ). I had this in /usr/local/lib. When 
the final silc binary is linked, it's linked with libtool, and ends up 
requesting "-lsilc". Since libsilc.so existed, you could see it at the tail 
end of the link command; I thought this odd at the time, but didn't pay any 
more attention to it.

So ld, given -lsilc 

was happy grabbing /usr/local/lib/libsilc.so, 

when in reality the binary requires

silc-client-1.1-beta5/lib/.libs/libsilc.a
