C. Revision history

2002-08-15 Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's in walking distance.

• Split document in introduction and platform specific part. They are held together with relative HTML links.

• Flushed revision history. Converting links in old entries is too much work.

• Moved i386 development to Red Hat 7.3.

• Started port to sparc-debian-linux.

• Rework of document is in progress. "The magic of the Elf" and "The language of evil" are finished. All following chapters are probably broken.

2002-10-23 We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons on a Sun.

• Started port to sparc-sunos5.7.

• Ported all C++ code to plain C. Some hardware I'm working on is too slow.

• Rewrote most of configure.pl. Package version and path detection works with rpm, dpkg, Slackware and SunOS.

• Makefile does not require GNU make anymore.

• Directory pre is directory src pre-processed with config.sed. In pre all program names are absolute. Magic numbers and platform specific constants are verbatim.

• Lot's of changes about everywhere. Document is finished up to "Segment padding infection". All following chapters are probably broken.

2003-01-07 I'm not a nerd - I'm "socially challenged".

• Rewrote segment scanner in C. Required changes to infector framework. Now supports 64-bit ELF.

• Document is finished up to "Segment padding infection". All following chapters are probably broken.

2003-01-08 Quick!! Act as if nothing has happened!
