Experimental to see if libc functions will - support Chinese characters. - Allowed hi-ascii input characters in the internal fs editor, - the chat input and one general input function. This may have - effects for all users not using us-ascii keyboards. - Added more support for Chinese using the traduce function. - Changed color for chat lines with one * at the begin. - - mbfido: - Empty *.msg netmails for our own system are dropped with and - logged (just like received empty netmails). Empty netmails to - remote systems are still stored in the netmail base. - Added debug logging for exporting netmails from the messagebase - so that we later can decide to mark these messages auto deleted. - - mbfile: - With adopt, import and move allow to overwrite a file with the - same name if the -f option is used on the commandline. - - mbnntp: - Does now send the right mime headers recognised by news clients. - Fixed compile problem with some compilers. - When sending the mime header with the charset used to the news - client, the original message charset is tried first, else the - area charset, else the users charset and if all failed, we send - the us-ascci charset as default. - More patches added from Dmitry Komissaroff to improve charset - support. Also improved msgid linking. - - mbtask: - The created semafore files are now world readable so that low - privileged users like nobody can check the semafore's. - Added experimental Internet BBS Chat.

Now a dummy description is - inserted. - The directory from which the import is done is first tested for - write access, if forbidden then no import is done. This also - means you cannot import directly from CD's but that you need - to copy the CD contents first to a harddisk. - Better error reporting if something is wrong. - The import command now also figures out the difference between - 8.3 and long filenames and does the right thing during import. - During file import the destination is tested for both 8.3 and - LFN for an existing file. Improved error reporting. - With mbfile import the original file isn't renamed anymore. - Fixed error reporting when files in files.bbs were not found - on disk. - - mbfido: - In rfc2ftn a debug logmessage added to check for unrecognised - message ids. - With html create the general strings are now converted to html - entinities. - - mbnntp: - Removed dead timercode. - Code cleanup. - When a message is posted without RFC Messageid, a fidonet MSGID - is fresh created. - Changed X-JAM kludges to X-FTN kludges to make it compatible - with the rest of the gates. - Patches from Dmitry Komissaroff to make charset translation - work on message subject lines. It will now also send the right - charset of the user in the charset header line so that the - client will show the message in the users charset. - - mbsetup: - Added support for XxxxBSD console port. - For new systems, there will now be 16 terminal ports created - instead of 10, this is the maximum number of safe created ttys. - The ttys are now sorted on the comment fields. - - examples: - Removed bbs list items from the English menus and txtfiles and - the Spanish menus and txtfiles. - Fixed the menu archives so that they contain menu files again. - - lang: - TODO: remove bbslist entries. - - -v0.71.0 27-Oct-2004 - 28-Nov-2004 - - upgrade: - Start mbsetup and leave. - You might want to check menu 8.5, file transfer protocols. - - general: - From filetranfer records removed the batch and bidirectional - switches, these are no longer needed. - Added new subdirectory mbutils. Some sources from the mbsebbs - subdirectory are moved there. - Changed the CFLAGS back from -O3 to -O2 since there seem some - stablity problems and I want to rule out the possibility that - this is caused by bad gcc optimisation. - - mbsebbs: - In change handle the first character of the name is not - capitalized. - Changed layout of raw directory listing to support longer - filenames. - Rewrote terminal i/o. - If a user pages the sysop a hint is displayed to fill in the - reason to chat, language prompt 28. - After forced chat, redisplay the last menu. - Removed support for non-batching protocols (xmodem) and for - bidirectional protocols. - Removed Ctrl-F G, this is of no use anymore. - Switched to new modular download and upload functions. - With download from file areas, the long filename is sent to - the users, we will only support protocols that allow this. - When an invalid OLR reply packet is received, it is removed - from the users upload directory. - We don't reward upload time anymore, only bytes. It's more - troubles to implement right then it's worth these days. This - is caused by telnet connections when we never know what the - real linespeed is with to/from the user. - Added the following internal file transfer protocols: Xmodem, - Ymodem, Ymodem-1K, Ymodem-G, Zmodem and Zmodem-8K (aka ZedZap). - Xmodem should not be used, but is available because Ymodem is - available. - For mode information see the manual setup/protocol.html. - After upload, files are now stored correctly in the filebase. - In change protocol, changed the colors. - With user chat, the timeout timer wasn't refreshed. - Improved test for users protocol available. - Fixed download K and files setting for users on a new day. - - mbnewusr: - Rewrote terminal i/o. - - mbfile: - In mbfile check added a check for the filemode of the real file - in the download area, if it's not 0644 it will be corrected. - - mbsetup: - In file transfers edit, removed switches for batch and bidirect - protocols, added a switch for internal protocols. - New internal protocols are automatic added and the external - protocols are disabled. Some fields of the internal protocols - are protected. - In file areas, free downloads is now default for new areas. - - mblogin: - The file ~/etc/login.defs now has default the issue file - enabled so that it also is displayed for incoming telnet users. - - lang: - Changed width of prompt 261. - Added prompt 28. - Removed leading spaces of prompt 151. - Removed prompts 259 and 276. - - script: - Modified rundoor.sh so that it uses two different dosemu - configuration files, one for virtual modem and one without. - See the manual doors.html. - In the editor script modified the joe header so that it will - work with the new terminal i/o. - - examples: - Fixed logo display. - Fixed Spanish txtfiles to leave out an old support bbs. - - -v0.70.0 06-Jun-2004 - 26-Oct-2004. - - upgrade: - If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 0.60.0 - If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 0.60.0 - (That was twice). - Don't forget to backup /opt/mbse and all fle areas! - - Check if /opt/mbse/var/msgs is empty before using this version. - Make sure that /opt/mbse/queue is empty, then close the - bbs with "mbstat close wait". - Kill mbtask, "kill `/sbin/pidof mbtask` might work. - Now you may do the upgrade with "make install" as root. This - order is important because the files database moves to a new - location (~/var/fdb). Some other directories move too. - Now you may start the bbs again. - - Start "mbsetup", enter 1, global setup, leave and save". - Run "mbfile check" and then "mbfile index". This fixes the - thumbnails if supported by your system. - Update all maintenance scripts to change the semafore directory - to ~/var/sema. - - If you compiled with ./configure --enable-newsgate you may - need to erase the newsgroup names in the echomail areas you - don't want to gate to news. - - In mbsetup menu 1.14 update the TCP/IP connection details. - - In the english txtfiles and menus the doors menu and screens - are updated for the newer doors setup, you might want to - upgrade or use them as examples. - In the examples directory type "make macros" to update the - macro templates. Be carefull if you have personalized versions. - To reinstall the corrected macro templates go into the examples - directory and type "make macros". - - In mbsetup menu 1.7 check the new items 15, 16 and 17. - - If you want to switch running doors as user instead of via sudo - then read doors.html and follow the instructions. - - If you have BBBS uplinks and use automatic uplink requests then - change the setup of these nodes in screen 7.10. + Yes, this release took too long to complete. But there were too + many problems that a stable release wasn't a good idea. general: - Added compile directive for full newsgate. If this switch is - used then mbfido behaves like it did upto version 0.50.0 and - mbnntp is disabled. - Added define for nodelist line length for all programs. - Added -fno-strict-aliasing switch to gcc to prevent some - warnings. - With the newer versions of dosemu running doors as user finally - works. To migrate you need to read doors.html. - Changed security of most directories and files to allow only - bbs users. - In SETUP.sh better xinetd.d system detection. - On Linux SETUP.sh adds user mbse to group wheel and uucp. - SETUP.sh adds disabled telnet service to inetd.conf or xinetd. + Due to lack of maintainers italian language support is dropped. + Upgraded to ftscprod.010 + Added port to OpenBSD, is under test (and doesn't work yet). + Code cleanup so that compile stops on unknown OSes and CPUs + instead of missing code parts. + Added Unix codepage KOI8-R (Russian) and patches from Dmitry + Komissaroff. + Updated Copyright notices to 2004 to 2005. + From filetranfer records removed the batch and bidirectional + switches, these are no longer needed. + Added new subdirectory mbutils. Some sources from the mbsebbs + subdirectory are moved there. + Changed the CFLAGS back from -O3 to -O2 since there seem some + stablity problems and I want to rule out the possibility that + this is caused by bad gcc optimisation. - libmbse.a: - In nodelist.conf changed the order of fields to search for ip - information, field 8 before field 6. - Added a new keyword 'ipprefix' in nodelist.conf to define a - table with IP prefixes to use in field 6. - When files are attached that should "leave" after sent (not - truncated or removed) they are now prepended with the @ - character instead of no character. This is compatible with - ifcico but not with other mailers, but should do no harm - because most mailers only look for the ^ and # characters. - Fixed function to return full 5d address in the outbound when - the address is in a different zone then our own zone. - The socket_connect function now sets the global nodenumber from - the reply of mbtask. + upgrade: + In mbsetup menu 8.2 remove the Italian language. + In /opt/mbse "rm -rf italian". + In /opt/mbse/etc "rm italian.lang". + Or keep it, but you need to take care of updating this language + yourself. + Check mbsetup 7.n.3.14 and 7.n.3.15 settings. + You may limit the mailhistory.html size by setting 1.15.8 + Check mbsetup 1.13.4 and 1.13.5, they should be empty or point + to valid and readable logfiles. If set then ftp and or www + downloads are counted as valid downloads. + Enter setup menu 8.4 once and leave to clear unused data. + Start mbsetup, in screen 1.2 item 10, add your real internet + name or IP there. This MUST be the name that is returned when + you do a nslookup on your external IP address. + Add the following line to /etc/services: + fido 60179/udp # chatserver + Make sure you remove everything related to bbslist menus from + your menus and txtfiles. + Start mbsetup and leave. + You might want to check menu 8.5, file transfer protocols since + we now have internal protocols. - libnodelist.a: - Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033). - Fixed IP port override if there is a port added to a protocol. + nodelist.a: + Clear node Hold or Down status if set in nodes setup. + + mbselib.a: Removed some debug logging. + Added a function to clean subject lines from garbage, trailing + spaces etc. to improve message linking. + Added code for Internet BBS Chat. - libmsgbase.a: - If a message area becomes empty after a pack, all lastread - pointers are reset to zero. - Removed debug logmessage from jamPack. + msgbase.a: + Fixed JAM pack function, the lastread pointers could be wrong + if the last messages of an area were deleted. - libdbase.a: - Removed some debug logging from files database module. - The files database is moved from ~/fdb to ~/var/fdb. - Added debug logging to dbfdb to find the problem with not - cleaned magic aliases. - Fixed a problem with the files database were the temp file used - for sorting and inserting files didn't close the temp file. - Changed method of inserting new files so that old magic names - are really cleared. + libdiesel.a: + Changed the maximum string length from 2560 to 4096 characters. + + libmbinet.a: + Fixed error messages when the host to connect to has a DNS + error. + + charset: + Changed rfc-2045 name x-mac to mac.

Also, after a successfull - session .flo files with all files marked as transmitted are - removed. With nodes that were marked crash, this will prevent - continuous calling. - Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail. - Changed binkp IsDoing info. - Removed a little debug logging. + Added support for binkp GZ and BZ2 compression. Can be turned + off per node. To use it configure with --enable-experiment. + Record previous session state so we can better react on failed + sessions. + Added detection of remote options NR, ND and NDA to prepare + for implementation. + Rewrote inbound handling for binkp sessions so that recovery + from failed sessions works, even with compressed transfers. + Fixed crash on received m_get command. + Increased binkp timeout from 180 to 300 seconds. + Added protection during binkp receive for zero bytes compressed + data frames, this will cause uncompress error -5 because zero + bytes can't be compressed at all. + Fixed test for valid aka's in the EMSI handshake that prevented + that host aka's (node /0) were not presented to the remote. + (thanks Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski). + Removed binkp extra debug logging and some standard debug logging. + Added auto workaround for Internet Rex 2.24 upto 2.29 binkp bug. + However, it is still wise to set the "No binkp/1.1" setting in + the node setup if you have a record for such node. mbout: - Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033). - Code cleanup for nodelist processing. - Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail. - - mbfido: - Added compile directive for full newsgate. - Removed logmessage in addpkt function. - Added code to un_attach files during tic import that are - deleted from the system by replace, or keep # magic actions, - but also for files with the same name that are replaced. - Removed debug logging from toberep function since all problems - are solved. - In rfc2ftn added check for ".\n" to change to " .\n" instead of - only check for ".\r\n". - Added support for *.msg files. If any are found, they are - processed and put in a netmail area. From there the mbfido scan - function is automatic called so that the message is sent out or - stays in the area if it has a local destination. File attaches - are supported. Note that this is not a gate, only put *.msg - files in that directory that originate from one of your own - aka's. - Fixed logging of 0 articles in scannews. - With the command "mbfido areas" without the -q option the user - must confirm this action. - For netmails to uplinks for areamgr/filemgr changes, the wrong - password was used. - In large areamgr/filemgr responses each 2048 bytes was an extra - inserted. - No help was displayed when no valid command was given. - Echomail for non-existing areas now finally is stored in the - badmail area. - Echomail received from not connected nodes is stored in the - badmail area unless the area allowes it. - Can now send (hopefully) valid uplink requests to BBBS systems. - Removed some debug logging from un_attach, made one into a - normal logmessage. - The postemail and scanemail functions are changed so that - Outlook email addresses are parsed so that we can reply via - smtp. - During scan the Msg_Read function is now called with a width - of 79 characters instead of 78. This fixes the missing address - on Origin lines of 79 characters long. - The *.msg function now uses Fgets instead of fgets to read the - message. - - mbmsg: - With te post command, the right number of commandline options - is checked, if this is wrong the help message is displayed. - If a message is posted in a local area, no echomail.jam is - updated and the mailout semafore is not set. - Added checks in the mbmsg post command if the To parameter has - the correct syntax for netmail and all other areas. - Will now return a non-zero error if the post() function - failed. - Fixed counter in logfile that should show the number of linked - messages. - With the post command a check is done to see if the input file - has a tearline and origin line, if not mbmsg will add these - lines, else the lines of the input file are used. - - mbfile: - The filenames in the html pages are now the long filenames. - This fixes download problems with some mangled 8.3 filenames. - Fixed a bug where "mbfile k p i" didn't give the help screen. - The html index now uses html named character entities on the - area names on the main index page. - With html index creation if the convert program for the - thumbnails failed, the html pages were wrong. - The thumbnails were created from the 8.3 name but the url was - created to the LFN. Depending on the settings of your apache - server you would see the thumbnails or not. - The check for wrong thumbnails changed from LFN to 8.3 names. - Updated to use the new files database location. - - mbindex: - Code cleanup for nodelist processing. - Added a extra check to see if nodelist datalines are valid to - prevent segfaults on Skynet nodelists. - Does finally compile a username index. - Fixed compiling pointlists where on the Boss line when there - is no last comma on the line. - - mbdiff: - Added EOF character as last character in the new created list. - - mbaff: - In newfiles and filefind reports with the tty info lines, also - display TCP/IP connection details. - - mbstat: - In the wait function the semafore directory was scanned direct - instead of using the library functions. - - mbsebbs: - Added user@domain login for pop3 mailboxes. - If pop3 login fails, the bbs won't hang. - If a users homedirectory doesn't exist, a correct error message - is displayed and logged. - If a user replied to a email and the system was in Own - maildomain mode, the From address was changed to the Fidonet - style address instead of Unix address. - When a netmail reply is done to a node without a valid address - we ask the user if he wants to continue. - Changed menu logging. - The exec_nosuid function for doors now also has a extra small - delay just like all other execute functions to prevent problems - on fast machines. - Added extra fflush in quickscan mail. - When calling the external editor, the fromaddress if available - is given to joe. - In Quick_Bye reset all signal handlers to prevent that die() is - called in case something goes wrong during Quick_Bye. - The fake nodenumber is now obtained from mbtask instead of a - count of tty line records so the used nodenumbers will be a lot -

After sort the indexes are rebuild. - Fixed some logging that should have been debug logging. - Fixed a uninitialized memory pointer in the index command. - Fixed a 3 forgotten file closes in mbfile list. - Removed sync calls that are now in execute. + Code cleanup. + With the index command only changed areas are indexed. This + removes the feature request for a switch per area from the + TODO list because this solution works better and much faster. + Dropped support for areas on CDrom. + The adopt command now first checks if the filename is 8.3 or a + long filename and the correct format for import is then set. + With mbfile import, download counters in files.bbs are skipped. + When the file description was missing in files.bbs with the + import command, mbfile would crash. Now a dummy description is + inserted. + The directory from which the import is done is first tested for + write access, if forbidden then no import is done. This also + means you cannot import directly from CD's but that you need + to copy the CD contents first to a harddisk. + Better error reporting if something is wrong. + The import command now also figures out the difference between + 8.3 and long filenames and does the right thing during import. + During file import the destination is tested for both 8.3 and + LFN for an existing file. Improved error reporting. + With mbfile import the original file isn't renamed anymore. + Fixed error reporting when files in files.bbs were not found + on disk. + In mbfile check added a check for the filemode of the real file + in the download area, if it's not 0644 it will be corrected. + With adopt, import and move allow to overwrite a file with the + same name if the -f option is used on the commandline. - mbfido: - Changed two logmessages to debug level. - Fixed a some small memory leaks. - With scannews after a GROUP command when authorisation was - asked we did not perform a login. - Removed sync calls that are now in execute. + mbsebbs: + Code cleanup. + Changed syntax for calling mbpasswd. + Blocked sysop to chat and page the sysop.

Experimental to see if libc functions will + support Chinese characters. + Allowed hi-ascii input characters in the internal fs editor, + the chat input and one general input function. This may have + effects for all users not using us-ascii keyboards. + Added more support for Chinese using the traduce function. + Changed color for chat lines with one * at the begin. + The creation of the mailout semafore is now after the hangup + so that mbfido won't start before the bbs is finished. + Removed bbslist menus, this will become a door. + Added #define NFGVMIN 1 in openport. + During hangup we set sighup to ignore. + Some small buffer protections added in addfile. + Fixed keyboad input for all bigendian machines. + Patches from Dmitry Komissaroff to make charset translation + work on message subject lines. + In change handle the first character of the name is not + capitalized. + Changed layout of raw directory listing to support longer + filenames. + Rewrote terminal i/o. + If a user pages the sysop a hint is displayed to fill in the + reason to chat, language prompt 28. + After forced chat, redisplay the last menu. + Removed support for non-batching protocols (xmodem) and for + bidirectional protocols. + Removed Ctrl-F G, this is of no use anymore. + Switched to new modular download and upload functions. + With download from file areas, the long filename is sent to + the users, we will only support protocols that allow this. + When an invalid OLR reply packet is received, it is removed + from the users upload directory. + We don't reward upload time anymore, only bytes. It's more + troubles to implement right then it's worth these days. This + is caused by telnet connections when we never know what the + real linespeed is with to/from the user. + Added the following internal file transfer protocols: Xmodem, + Ymodem, Ymodem-1K, Ymodem-G, Zmodem and Zmodem-8K (aka ZedZap). + Xmodem should not be used, but is available because Ymodem is + available, ie: don't make it available for your users. + For more information see the manual setup/protocol.html. + After upload, files are now stored correctly in the filebase. + In change protocol, changed the colors. + With user chat, the timeout timer wasn't refreshed. + Improved test for users protocol available. + Fixed download K and files setting for users on a new day. + + mbnewusr: + Changed syntax for calling mbpasswd. + If we can detect the users screenlength then we don't bother + asking the user. + Added logging during execute of mbuseradd. + Corrected wrong ANSI setting for new users. + Added logging of remote host and terminal. + If the external editor is configured a new user gets the + external editor by default instead of the internal editor. + During hangup we set sighup to ignore. + Fixed keyboad input for all bigendian machines. + Rewrote terminal i/o. + + mbsetup: + Removed Italian default record. Rewrote code to create default + language records. + Added node setup switch to override node Hold or Down status. + Changed syntax for calling mbpasswd. + Dropped support for newsgroup distribution. + Added setup switches per node to disable PLZ or GZ and BZ2 + compression protocols with binkp. + Added setup entry 1.15.8 to set a limit on the size of the + mailer history html page. + Added setup for Internet BBS Chat. + Added setup items 1.13.4 and 1.13.5.

mail and files group edit screens, to make an area active + existing connections check is skipped. + If a node record is deleted, the outbox and directory paths + are removed as well if they are empty. + Added user@domain login for pop3 servers in screen 1.12. + Added compile directive for full newsgate to prevent newsgroup + name creation in default compiled mode. + When editing files, after leaving a file record the file range + displayed stays around the last area. + If a message area is deleted and a rulefile is present, this + rulefile is deleted too. + When a new golded.inc file is

spelling errors in the dutch macro templates. + Fixed another spelling error in the filemgr.help template of + all languages. + + script: + Fixed NetBSD init script reload command. + Changed bbsdoor.sh, it now hase a variable pointing to the dos + directory. + Created runvirtual.sh, this replaces rundoor.sh for old systems + that run doors using the obsoleted sudo method. + Rewrote rundoor.sh for running dosemu with user privileges. + Changed all locations for dosemu so that we run in the mbse + environment with privileges of the user running the door. + In the editor script (that calls joe) made a fix for screens + wider then 80 characters. Also fixed the joe path if it should + run in emacs mode. Added FromAddress in the header. + Changed all init and maint scripts to move the semafore + directory from ~/sema to ~/var/sema. + + lang: + Added language prompts 26 and 27. + + + +v0.60.0 09-Feb-2004 - 04-Jun-2004 + + upgrade: + Before upgrade announce all new files! + Compile all programs. + Close the system with mbstat close. + Install programs as root (as usual). + Start mbsetup, this can take a while on a system with lots of + files, during startup the files database will be converted. + After the menu appears, enter global setup, exit and save. + This will also update the message area records and the message + group permission. + Now stop and restart mbtask. + Open the system with mbstat open. + In all message groups set check/set default character set. + In all message areas set the character set to use with the + global editor (to CP437 for example). Local and netmail + areas must be done by hand because they are most likely not + in a group. + The macro templates are updated, you MUST install the newfiles + macro template at least because the format changed! + Type "make help" in the examples subdirectory to see how. + + + general: + Reorganized the library header files. This will make it easier + to switch to dynamic libraries so other apps can link to mbse. + Updated to a new files database structure that allows for + expanding the records like most other databases to allow new + features. + Removed all references to costsharing for ticfiles which wasn't + fully implemented. + Added setup items for subprocess priority and sync filesystem. + Added setup parameter for filefind keyword length. + Removed one setup entry for check for free diskspace, there + were two different values for the same purpose.
