v0.82.0 06-Oct-2005 - 06-Nov-2005
|
||||
|
||||
This is a bugfix release for version 0.80.0.
|
||||
|
||||
general:
|
||||
Made changes to structures and sources to make everything
|
||||
compatible between 32 and 64 bit systems. Special thanks to
|
||||
Alan Ianson and Robert Wolfe for testing the 64 bit versions.
|
||||
Added escaping in client/server comms. It is now allowed to
|
||||
use comma's in user names, locations etc.
|
||||
|
||||
upgrade:
|
||||
The bbs menu Change Screenlength is obsolete. Remove this from
|
||||
the menus (setup.mnu) and ascii/ansi screens (setup.a??).
|
||||
Owners of 64 bits systems should check if all *.sts files in
|
||||
the outbound are 12 bytes log. If not, stop the whole bbs and
|
||||
remove all these files. Then start the bbs again.
|
||||
Owners of 64 bit systems that have run version 0.80.0 or older
|
||||
should really backup everything and be prepared that all data
|
||||
files are not compatible anymore. Blame the GNU people for
|
||||
changing the storage format for some variables.
|
||||
After upgrade databases are compatible between 32 and 64 bit
|
||||
systems.
|
||||
|
||||
libmbse.a:
|
||||
Added clencode and cldecode to safe escape messages to mbtask.
|
||||
In nodelock show program name if node is already locked.
|
||||
|
||||
mbcico:
|
||||
Made binkp GZ and BZ2 compression final.
|
||||
Fixed compile errors when both zlib and bzlib development
|
||||
packages are not installed on some distro's.
|
||||
|
||||
mbfido:
|
||||
Fixed a segfault when tossing as a point echomail without a
|
||||
seen-by line.
|
||||
|
||||
mbsebbs:
|
||||
Automatic dynamic detection of the users screensize.
|
||||
There is no check anymore for a valid tty with network calls,
|
||||
instead a fake ttyinfo record is created. Modem/ISDN and
|
||||
console still need a valid configured tty.
|
||||
Fixed a bug in the email menu that would let the current
|
||||
mailbox disappear.
|
||||
Fixed the internal fullscreen editor.
|
||||
Accepts connections via ssh.
|
||||
Log close message sent to the user.
|
||||
Allow comma again in several input functions.
|
||||
|
||||
mbnewusr:
|
||||
There is no check anymore for a valid tty with network calls,
|
||||
instead a fake ttyinfo record is created. Modem/ISDN and
|
||||
console still need a valid configured tty.
|
||||
Accepts connections via ssh.
|
||||
|
||||
mbtask:
|
||||
Logs program name that locks serial ports.
|
||||
Added clencode and cldecode to safe escape messages with
|
||||
clients.
|
||||
|
||||
mbsetup:
|
||||
Removed settings for users screenlength.
|
||||
In tty setup the network records are automatic removed. The
|
||||
setting for auth log is removed (was never used).
|
||||
SuSE compile fix.
|
||||
|
||||
lang: Removed prompts 64, 80 and 81.
|
||||
Changed prompt 348.
|
||||
Added prompt 31.
|
||||
|
||||
examples:
|
||||
removed Change Screenlength from the English menus and
|
||||
txtfiles.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
v0.80.0 27-Oct-2004 - 06-Oct-2005
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, this release took too long to complete. But there were too
|
||||
many problems that a stable release wasn't a good idea.
|
||||
|
||||
general:
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
msgbase.a:
|
||||
Fixed JAM pack function, the lastread pointers could be wrong
|
||||
if the last messages of an area were deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
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. Changed x-ibmpc to cp437.
|
||||
This allows rfc mime headers to show official names.
|
||||
Added some basic things to support Chinese.
|
||||
|
||||
mbcico:
|
||||
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:
|
||||
Code cleanup.
|
||||
|
||||
mbfido:
|
||||
If some newsarticles are not accepted for post, don't treat
|
||||
this as fatal and clear the sendqueue.
|
||||
Removed soft-cr filter during message import.
|
||||
Code cleanup.
|
||||
Added debug logging in rfc2ftn to track a rare problem.
|
||||
Added error logmessage in case *.msg path isn't defined.
|
||||
Fixed a segfault when echomail.jam or netmail.jam is corrupted
|
||||
when scanning for outgoing mail.
|
||||
Fixed fido style from address for posting news.
|
||||
Reinstalled charset translation on the gateway. Changed the
|
||||
way how FTN kludges are translated to RFC headers.
|
||||
Dropped support for newsgroup distribution.
|
||||
In tic processing changed pointer type for seenby lists.
|
||||
Fixed running out of file descriptors when there are lots of
|
||||
bad mailpackets.
|
||||
Fixed commandline parser for mail recipients.
|
||||
Added subject line clean in several places.
|
||||
When message areas are autocreated, golded.inc and msg.txt are
|
||||
recreated for the external editors.
|
||||
The web stats can now limit the size of mailhistory.html
|
||||
The FileMgr command connects news nodes SR if set for the tic
|
||||
area.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
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 some debug logging.
|
||||
Added leading zeros for generated msgid's.
|
||||
Improved charset detection.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
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 for the user in the charset header line so that the
|
||||
client will show the message in the users charset.
|
||||
|
||||
mbfile:
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
mbsebbs:
|
||||
Code cleanup.
|
||||
Changed syntax for calling mbpasswd.
|
||||
Blocked sysop to chat and page the sysop. Sysops use mbmon.
|
||||
Fixed errormessage if chatserver is not available.
|
||||
Added language prompts 29 and 30.
|
||||
Added logging of remote host and terminal.
|
||||
Added subject line clean in several places.
|
||||
Fixed headerlines for posting news.
|
||||
Fixed headerlines for posting email.
|
||||
When a message is posted by a user, the CHRS kludge of the user
|
||||
is used in the message, not the area setting.
|
||||
When a user logs in, the users locale (guessed value from his
|
||||
characterset) is set. 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.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
mailer history html page.
|
||||
Added setup for Internet BBS Chat.
|
||||
Added setup items 1.13.4 and 1.13.5. These could point to
|
||||
a valid apache logfile in common format and ftp xferlog
|
||||
logfile. If defined then downloads via www and or ftp can
|
||||
be counted.
|
||||
Dropped support for file areas on CDrom.
|
||||
In menu 10 added a switch to default connect downlinks SR
|
||||
instead if S.
|
||||
Added language defaults for Chinese.
|
||||
Removed obsolete bbslist editor.
|
||||
Made some web sitedoc screens look better.
|
||||
Changed helplines for areamanager filenames to indicate that
|
||||
these are case sensitive.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
In file transfers edit, removed switches for batch and bidirect
|
||||
protocols, added a switch for internal protocols.
|
||||

|
||||

|

|
||||
the allfiles listings are created. Note that the very first
|
