- added a -host_trig command line option that creates a new host
instance without blocking user input.
- the build/install python scripts will no longer internally build
platform specific shell scripts; instead, they will now copy the
necessary templates from the /templates folder.
- modified both build.py and install.py to include windows
deployment support so this app can now be built/installed on
windows based host. note: i decided to have it "daemonized" as
a scheduled task that runs on system start instead of service
because it is simply easier to do it this way and will not
involve any 3rd party libraries or apps.
- added the src/applink.c file to the source code since it is
needed for windows openssl support.
- changed over all references of "endl" to "Qt::endl" to avoid
depreciation errors/warnings.
Fixed the shebang for the python build/install scripts to properly
point to the correct python executable in linux.
Fixed a bug that caused the host session to return false "command
not found errors" after running any command shortly after
successfully connecting.
- mutiple SSL cert files can now be added to the MRCI_PUB_KEY env variable
via colon seperated ':' path strings to complete the cert chain if such
a thing is required. It is no longer necessary to merge to multiple
certs into one to complete a cert chain.
- added -load_ssl command line option so cert data can be re-loaded in
real time without the need to stop-start the host.
- added more detailed error messages to the SSL loading process for
easier debugging.
- major changes to the build system include the use of python scripts
instead of the linux shell script file.
- linux_build.sh was removed since it is no longer needed.
- the new build process now run 2 python scripts: build.py and then
install.py.
- the resulting installer if built no longer uses makeself. the
installation and/or self extracting process is now handled entirely
by python and the install.py script.
The main reason for this change is to lay the ground work for multi-
platform support. It is still linux only for now but adding windows
support will be much easier in the future thanks to python's cross-
platform support.
