    Posted an A80 ABS patch for D3 Linux and D3 AIX 10.2 on the Rocket Community portal.  The two new fixes included in this patch from the last ABS patch posted for D3 Linux and D3 AIX 10.2 are:
    • Corrects a problem where a RETURN statement that had no prior GOSUB or CALL did not produce a runtime error. 
    • Corrects a problem with Update Protection which could cause GFEs when using DB-PAUSE under certain conditions.

    Posted an F9 Flash patch for D3 Linux 10.2 on the Rocket Community portal.  This patch corrects a problem where a file variable matrix element was not closed when the entire matrix was assigned to a string value which would cause a FlashBASIC program to terminate prematurely with an 'Exceeded the maximum number of 32767 file opens !' error.

    Monitor patch M5 was just posted today for D3 Linux 10.3.3:

    Patch: Monitor Patch M5

    Corrects a problem with OSFI, which could cause a RFSE when continuing to access a file after the server timeout period but before the port completely wrapped up.

    Corrects a problem introduced by the fix D3-68186, that would cause signals not to be handled properly when connecting via Python.

    An M16 monitor patch for D3 Linux 10.2 was just posted to the Rocket Community Portal D3 Downloads section. From the patch notes:

    D3-69608, M16, Corrected a problem with the pib and/or interface that was inefficient and taking too much time. This impacts logoff, spooler operations, startup and shutdown.

    Folks, this is a good one. When I was testing it I saw a significant improvement in those areas. The patch was originally made to address instances where jobs were not leaving the PEQS print job queue in a timely fashion in cases where there are hundreds of shared printers defined. I saw an improvement where the delay is now less than a third of what it was before M16. The other areas ( logoff, startup, shutdown ) are collateral benefit.

    This patch will soon be available for D3 Linux 10.3.3 as M6, but we're still testing it. Please note that this patch is for D3 Linux only, not D3 Windows, and I'm not sure about D3 AIX.

    Yes, M16 introduced a lot of improvements. But while testing the M6 patch for 10.3.3, we found a vulnerability that also affected M16, so we pulled M16 and are currently testing M17 which should be posted in a very short time. If you're already running M16, I see no reason to back it out as the chances of hitting the vulnerability are REALLY small. But if you haven't loaded M16 yet, I would recommend that you wait for M17 to hit RCP.

    And M6 has just been posted for D3 Linux 10.3.3!!

    And  monitor patch M6 for D3 Linux 10.3.3 is now posted in the Rocket Customer Portal (RCP)!!!

    Here's the current patch levels for D3 Linux 10.3.3:

    D3 Linux 10.3.3: Monitor M6, ABS A10, D3_setup_sub
    *Note that D3_setup_sub will allow D3 Linux 10.3.3 installation on Rocky and Alma Linux v8.x

    M16 patch notes:

    Patch: Monitor Patch M6

    Corrects a problem with the pib and/or interface that was inefficient and taking too much time. This impacts logoff, spooler operations, startup and shutdown.

    Corrects a problem with a Dimension array element being passed as a parameter to a % function that could cause an abort if that array element is the last BASIC descriptor in a frame.

    Corrects a problem with Python, which prevented OS directories from being opened via OSFI.

    Adds the ability for BASIC to call the AES256 encryption mechanisms as well, not just from encrypt-file.


    Again, this has some significant timing improvements for D3!!

    An M7 patch for D3 Linux 10.3 was just posted. This was a small correction to the M6 patch previously posted involving some sporadic D3_setup linking errors. Other than that it's identical to M6.

    Hi Brian,

    Just installed the M17 monitor patch for 10.2 and noticed that when I "Install with current settings" it does so AND boots the D3 server, has it always booted upon installing?

    It booted D3??? Hmmm. Not supposed to do that. Never did it for me.

    I just tested it again and D3 did NOT boot after "Install with Current Settings" in D3_setup. Is D3 configured to start when Linux boots on your system?

    Please note that the D3 Linux 10.3.M7 and 10.2.M17 patches have been taken down from RCP. Yesterday we found a weird problem with logging off a phantom that was jacked due to an OSFI failure. Engineering is working on this now, and soon there will be an M8 and an M18. If you're not experiencing any problems at the moment, I wouldn't go through the effort of backing down to M5 or M15. But I would not recommend applying M7 or M17 on any systems currently not patched to that level.

    New hot fix for D3 Windows 10.3.3 available on the Rocket Community Portal:

    _patch - 20220824 - D3 - 10.3.3 - D3-69725 - HF6.7z

    Here's the notes regarding this hot fix:

    Patch: HOTFIX 6 for D3 Windows 10.3.3

    Contains:

    D3-68977: Corrects a problem with OSFI that was not terminating the Item Id buffer space correctly when attempting to read long id's (>100 bytes). This could result in a buffer overrun or memory corruption.

    D3-68834: Corrects a problem with the Monitor, which could cause D3 to crash if a line received multiple messages with DCD being enabled after the line disconnected.

    D3-64363: Corrects a problem with the FSI, which prevented it from releasing the temporary item lock used by FlashBASIC writevu when the item was not already locked.

    NOTE: This is a cumulative HOTFIX and contains the fixes included in HOTFIXes 1 through 5 as well. Please see the included ReadMe.txt file for a complete list of fixes contained in this HOTFIX.

    Please note that the D3 Linux 10.3.3.M8 and 10.2.M18 monitor patches have been posted. These contain fixes for timing and logoff stuff that was introduced in the now-pulled M7 and M17 patches. There is also an A11 ABS patch for 10.3 with a 10.2 patch soon to follow. Patch release notes:

    ABS:

    D3-69496 - Corrected a problem with LOGOFF in which the source PIB can sometimes fall into the virtual debugger when the process is still attached.

    Monitor:

    D3-69748 - M8 - Corrected a problem with the timing of the logoff command introduced in the 10.2.M17 and 10.3.M7 patches that caused the logoff not to escalate if the PID for the line had already gone away.
    D3-69645 - M7 - Corrected a regression caused by the M6 monitor patch with the installation of D3 without SSL and Crypto libraries, that would fail to link the D3 executable.

    Patch: ABS Patch A13

    Corrects a problem where the display of an equated field to an array aborts in the basic debugger.

    NOTE: BASIC programs affected by this problem need to be re-compiled for the fix to take effect.

    New patches for D3 AIX 10.3.3: Monitor 8, Flash 3 and Install 2. Note that you must use the Install 2 patch for Monitor 8 to link successfully. There's also an A14 ABS patch. All are available in the Downloads section of the Rocket Community Portal ( RCP ).

    Here are the issues that were addressed:

    D3-69748    M8    Corrected a problem with the timing of the logoff command introduced in the 10.2.M17 and 10.3.M7 patches that caused the logoff not to escalate if the PID for the line had already gone away.

    D3-69845    F3    Corrected a problem with memory management on AIX that could cause inconsistent workspace aborts in FlashBASIC.

    D3-68730    F3    Corrected a problem where a file variable matrix element was not closed when the entire matrix was assigned to a string value.

    D3-69830    A14    Corrected a problem with reset-user (xk not cleaning the pid of a no longer running process, usually on a phantom line.
         
    D3-69496    A14    Corrected a problem with LOGOFF in which the source PIB can sometimes fall into the virtual debugger when the process is still attached.

    D3-69709    A14    Corrected a problem with logoff which could result in a sys abort.

    That's weird. It was just tested on 10.3.1 to make sure. This was an ABS patch which would not need D3_setup to be run again. Why was that run?

    There is no M8 for 10.3.1, only an M2. Did you download the monitor patch from the 10.3.3 group in RBC?? I would highly recommend you go get the M2 patch from the 10.3.1 group and load it.

    Thanks, my bad... it has been a long time since I did any upgrade/patch and forgot the rules.

    Anyway, I downloaded the M2 monitor patch, but the link still fails with the same messages... any other ideas?

    Time to open a support ticket. I'm not sure how to proceed from here, but I'm pretty sure I'll need to look at the system.
