This Release Note describes Livingston ChoiceNet server release 1.0.2.
This upgrade is recommended to all sites running previous releases
of ChoiceNet, and is available at no charge from our FTP site
ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/software/.

Livingston ChoiceNet server 1.0.2 is now available in binary form for
BSD/OS 2.0, SGI IRIX 5.2, IRIX 6.3, Linux 1.2.13 (ELF),
Linux 2.0.30, IBM RS6000 AIX 4.1.4, Digital Alpha OSF/1 T3.0,

This release supports both Linux 1.2 and 2.0, and IRIX 5.2 and 6.3.
The next release after this one may be the last release for Linux
1.2.13 and SGI IRIX 5.2.  Future binary releases (as well as this one)
will run on Linux 2.0 and IRIX 6.3.

	CHOICENET 1.0.2 CHANGES

Linux 2.0.30 and IRIX 6.3 are now supported platforms.

ChoiceNet 1.0.1 had a bug where dynamically downloaded filters would
stop being downloaded after a while, and the server had to be killed
and restarted.  This problem is fixed in ChoiceNet 1.0.2.

ChoiceNet on Solaris x86 2.5.1 now stores access lists using GDBM
instead of NDBM, to avoid a problem with the native NDBM libraries.
In accordance with the Free Software Foundation's GNU Public LIcense,
source code for GDBM is available from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu.

	CHOICENET 1.0.2 INSTALLATION

FTP the ChoiceNet distribution for your platform from
ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/software/Platform/choicenet_1.0.2_Platform.tar.Z
and then follow the installation instructions in the ChoiceNet
Administrator's Guide.  Use caution when updating to avoid overwriting
your existing files!

The following example shows the commands to update an existing 
ChoiceNet server on SunOS 4.1.4.

mkdir /var/tmp/cn102
cd /var/tmp/cn102
ftp ftp.livingston.com
(enter anonymous)
(enter your e-mail address; it will not echo)
binary
cd /pub/le/software/sun4
get choicenet_1.0.2_sun4_4.1.tar.Z cn.tar.Z
quit
uncompress cn.tar.Z
tar xvf cn.tar
rm cn.tar
mv /etc/choicenet/filterd /etc/choicenet/filterd.old
mv /etc/choicenet/filterd /etc/choicenet/buildlist.old
mv /etc/choicenet/filterd /etc/choicenet/dumplist.old
mv filterd buildlist dumplist /etc/choicenet

(If you are on Solaris x86, you must rebuild all your
lists using buildlist before running the new filterd.)

(kill the existing filterd)
/etc/choicenet/filterd

If you have any problems, report them to Livingston Technical Support,
and be sure to mention that you're running filterd version 1.0.2.
