v0.91.6		05-Mar-2007


v0.91.5		18-Feb-2007 - 05-Mar-2007

		With this version de default internal character encoding is
		UTF-8. BBS users who have a UTF-8 terminal can use the bbs in
		UTF-8 mode and should have no troubles at all reading and
		writing messages in several language encodings.
		There is extra logging which will go away ASAP.

	upgrade:
		Compile and install this new version. 
		In all macro files html.* change the charset to UTF-8.
		If you still have all default macro files then in the source
		directory mbsebbs/examples simply run "make macros" to install
		the updated versions.
		Run "mbfile index -f " once to regenerate all download html
		index pages with UTF-8 encoding. Check the error.log for
		errors.
		In mbsetup menu 1.3.7 change logo.asc into logo.ans and make
		sure you have that file. A note about the logo file, it will
		be displayed before we know if a user has a utf-8 or ansi
		terminal, so change your logo screen so that it has no ansi
		grafic characters, just plain ascii with ansi color codes.
		Start and leave mbsetup, this will upgrade the newfiles and
		filefind reports to set a defaults CHRS kludge CP437 2 which 
		is good for reports with ANSI blockgraphics.

	mbselib:
		Fixed a too low memory allocation in clencode.

	mbsebbs:
		Added terminal setting UTF-8.
		Removed setting ANSI/Textmode, allways graphic now.
		All *.asc textfiles are now obsolete, only *.ans are valid.
		Display ansi file converts to UTF-8 if the user has UTF-8.
		Email and FTN mail reading now translates to the users
		characterset using glibc iconv.
		Changed menus lastcallers, whoson, userlist, pinfo, fsedit,
		timestats, filelist to output UTF-8 code if the user has set
		that terminal setting.

	mbfile:
		The index command produces UTF-8 webpages.

	mbfido:
		The make web stat produces UTF-8 webpages.

	mbaff:
		For each newfileis and filefind report there is now a CHRS 
		kludge setting. Reports will be converted to the selected 
		charset. Origin characterset is CP437 for now.

	mball:
		Now also creates allfiles.utf and newfiles.utf with UTF-8
		encoded text. These new files will also be added to the zip
		archives.

	mbnntp:
		Reading news outputs UTF-8 coded articles.
		TODO: test posting and fix if needed.

	mbtask:
		Fixed a too low memory allocation in clencode.

	mbsetup:
		In newfiles and filefind reports the Hi-ASCII setting is gone
		and a CHRS kludge selection is added. Defaults to CP437 2.

	lang:
		Language prompts 44, 75 and 76 are obsolete.

	script:
		Adjusted editor script to use nansi.sys if ansi.sys is not
		available in the terminfo database.

	examples:
		Upgraded the html macro templates to produce UTF-8 web pages.
		Upgraded the txtfiles examples to only have .ans screens. The
		logo.ans screen now works on ANSI and UTF-8 terminals.



v0.91.4		17-Feb-2007 - 18-Feb-2007

	upgrade:
		Because some directories will be moved, a special upgrade
		procedure is needed. Take the following steps:
		1. Don't install the new source yet and make a backup!
		2. In the source topdir run "make clean".
		3. Install the new source.
		4. Build new source, "./configure" and "make".
		5. Run "./mbsetup/mbsetup", enter global setup and leave with
		   save. this should move all your existing language files to
		   the new directory structure.
		6. "su", run "make install" and restart the bbs.
		7. "exit".
		If you didn't do steps 1 and 2 (automatic updates) and you
		installed the source over the old source you have some
		extra files in the lang subdir of the source. No big deal.
		If you didn't run steps 5 then the new language paths have
		the default files from source and not your own. Your own files
		are then still under ~/english/*.* ~/dutch/*.* etc. Move the
		contents of these subdirs into ~/share/int/menus/en/* etc.

	mbselib:
		Moved default language paths into ~/share/int

	mbsebbs:
		Moved default language paths into ~/share/int

	mbsetup:
		Moved default language paths into ~/share/int

	mbtask:
		Moved default language paths into ~/share/int

	lang:
		Renamed language files and changed installation paths.


v0.91.3		11-Feb-2007 - 17-Feb-2007

	mbselib:
		Added coding and decoding to strings that are processed by the
		diesel macroprocessor.  EXPERIMENTAL IS UNDER TEST !!!
		Fixed a compile warning in the diesel code.

	mbuser:
		Set default editor on erased records.

	mbfile:
		The check filebase command now also removes dead symlinks from
		the download directories.

	mbfido:
		Don't crash on empty ticfiles.
		Fixed log message for scanned netmail.

	mbtask:
		Some code cleanup.
		Fixed s SIGBUS on Sparc/NetBSD systems.

	mbsebbs:
		Some debuglog cleanup.

		complain.

                Changed zmodem transmitter timeout to 60 seconds and changed
                the zmodem init fase so that clients that don't start automatic
