isc Changes

1.1 (January 17, 1996)

• Patches for vic that allow isc to control video sending, muting and display of participants.
• Allow invocation of non-pmm enabled applications (ivs, vat, unmodified vic, etc.) simply by omitting the id= tag in the mailcap file.
• Changed mailcap interface to use 'interactive' type to avoid collisions between viewer and conferencing applications.
• Bug: deleting and restarting same conference led to continuously-expanding main window.
• Bug: "About..." wasn't working. Not much there, still.
• Checks for local site by name rather than position. This still works even if media agent doesn't announce local site (e.g., when isc is restarted).
• Preference list for SDES items. Replace currently displayed information if SDES item of higher priority is received. Handle blank item, e.g., a canceled SDES note.
• pmmwatch is a simple Tcl-DP script that displays all pmm messages and is meant for debugging.

1.0 (December 22, 1995)

• First independent release of isc (i.e., without nevot, rtptools, pmm, tkaudio).
• pmm parameters (-p flag) now use / as separators between protocol, host and port, e.g., udp/225.2.0.1/5010.
• isc automatically starts the application listed in the .mailcap file if no application answers the session message. See isc User's Guide for details.
• isc creates a member entry even if no hello message has been seen. This simplifies restarting the conference controller.
• Session names are composed from the network multicast address and port to avoid re-creating the same session.
• Conference names can contain slashes.
• Handling of error pmm messages fixed.
