This - implies that the server will release resources attached - to the connection faster than before. The server simply - assumes that the client has given up.</p> - <p> - [tftp] If the TFTP server receives yet another request - from the same client (same host and port) while it - already has an active connection to the client, it will - simply ignore the new request if the request is equal - with the first one (same filename and options). This - implies that the (new) client will be served by the - already ongoing connection on the server side. By not - setting up yet another connection, in parallel with the - ongoing one, the server will consumer lesser resources.</p> - <p> - [tftp] netascii mode is now supported when the - client/server has native ascii support (Windows). The new - optional parameter native_ascii in the tftp_binary and - tftp_file callback modules can be used to override the - default behavior.</p> - <p> - [tftp] Yet another callback module has been added in - order to allow customized handling of error, warning and - info messages. See the new configuration parameter, - logger.</p> - <p> - [tftp] Yet another configuration parameter, max_retries, - has been added in order to control the number of times a - packet can be resent. The default is 5.</p> - <p> - [tftp] tftp:info/1 and tftp:change_config/2 can now be - applied to all daemons or all servers in one command - without bothering about their process identifiers.</p> - <p> - External TR HI89527.</p> - <p> - Own Id: OTP-7266</p> - </item> - </list> - </section> - -</section> - -<section><title>Inets 5.0.5</title> - - <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title> - <list> - <item> - <p> - [tftp] Blocks with too low block numbers are silently - discarded.
