[Info-gnu-radius] Recent patches to 0.96.3

[Sergey Poznyakoff]

Hello,

There are four patches available for version 0.96.3. To access
a patch visit

http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?func=detailpatch&group_id=92&patch_id=PATCH-NO

where PATCH-NO represents the patch number. The short description of
the patches follows:

Patch# 366

Extends the rewrite syntax. The notation for dereferencing an
attribute-value pair from the incoming request may take an optional
ordinal-number specification. For example, if the request contains
N pairs with the attribute Attr-Name, then:

  %[Attr-Name]    yields the first such pair
  %[Attr-Name](N) yields the N-th pair. N is counted from zero, thus
                  %[Attr-Name](0) is equivalent to %[Attr-Name].

A new statement `delete' allows to delete an arbitrary A/V pair from
the request.

  delete %[Attr-Name]     deletes all occurrences of the pair Attr-Name
                          from the packet
  delete %[Attr-Name](N}  deletes only N-th occurrence.


Patch #388

Fix propagation of Proxy-State attribute. The file radiusd/acct.c
contained a typo which actually made the propagation fix introduced
in version 0.96.3 unusable. This patch fixes it. Thanks to
Michael Samuel for noticing and providing the patch.

Patch #389

This patch enables use of Expiration attribute. Thanks to Cornel
Cristea for noticing.

Patch #390

This patch forces radiusd to add a NAS-IP-Address pair to the packet
if the NAS didn't supply one.

Sergey
