This is a combined bragging and download page, listing changes I've
done to programs. Some patches are (for various reasons) not included
in the official distribution of the programs. In that case you may
download the patch here, if you find it useful.

mod_ntlm |
| Version |
0.3 |
| Patch Date |
2000-05-27 |
| Description |
- Added optional support for Basic authentication.
- Fixed a bug causing a failed authentication to succeed if
the user reloaded the page.
- Made the main file #include all the other files instead of
linking them in, to be able to make almost everything
static. Now the module no longer pollutes the
Apache name space.
- Removed files, functions and variables that were not used.
- Replaced the base64 functions with calls to similar
functions provided by the Apache API.
- Ran GNU indent on all files.
- See ChangeLog file for the details.

| Status |
2003-02-19: After quite some time, my patch (and other patches
as well) was suddenly included in the official version. |
| Support |
Totally unsupported! I haven't used this module myself in a
very long time, as I no longer have Windows computers where I
work. |

Due to the massive changes, this file contains the entire
modified package rather than a patch to the original version. |

| Version |

| Program |
MP3Blaster |
| Version |
2.0b11 |
| Patch Date |
1999-10-07 |
| Description |
Bugfix: MP3Blaster would stop playing every now and then due to
what appears to be synchronization problems in ncurses. I
rewrote the keyboard input routines to use the select system
call instead of relying on ncurses to do non-blocking IO. |
| Status |
Included in mp3blaster 2.0b12. |
|
| Program |
JavaSrc |
| Version |
1.5 |
| Patch Date |
1999-09-06 |
| Description |
Added option to prevent recursing directories, and did a small
speed up by using buffered streams. Added closing of opened
files, to enable running the program on many files on older
versions of Linux. |
| Status |
The first part got into version 110199 of the program. The
second part will probably be included in the next release. |

| Version |
4.1 |

| Description |
Lots of small fixes to tame wild pointers. Even though Glimps
was less prone to crash, I didn't manage to make it

Nobody seems to be maintaing Glimpse anymore, and I was stupid
enough to throw the patch as I removed Glimpse from my system. |
