v1.0.6.3 05-Nov-2015 - Robert James Clay 1. Update the Dev Team information in the AUTHORS file. 03-Nov-2015 - Vincent Coen 1. Add mbse-1.odt to the docs directory. v1.0.6.2 17-Oct-2015 - Vincent Coen 1. Amended mbmon.c and mbsetup.c to reflect new hosting for the sources etc at www.sourceforge.net. 2. Other very minor cosmetics. 3. Add mbse-1.pdf to a new docs directory. v1.0.6.1 07-Aug-2015 - Andrew Leary 1. Removed the Precise field from Via lines in netmail, as it was not actually accurate anyway. Forwarded netmails had this field set to .00, and locally generated netmails had this field set to .01. This field is optional in FTS-4009, but if used is supposed to indicate fractions of a second. v1.0.6 03-Aug-2015 - Andrew Leary 1. Added support for specifying a literal IPv6 address encased in square brackets for a node. Previously, IPv6 was only supported for nodes having an AAAA record for their hostname in DNS. 2. The BBS now allows alphanumeric and punctuation characters in user passwords. Previously, only alphanumeric characters were permitted. 3. Several minor grammar and punctuation corrections. v1.0.5 02-Nov-2014 - Andrew Leary (Never officially released) 1. Adjusted mbcico's .flo file logic to support a space character as the first character of the .flo file line. This character indicates that the file named in the remainder of the line should be sent to the remote system. This is needed to allow transmitting filenames that start with .flo file reserved characters such as ^, #, -, or @. 2. Worked on increasing reliability of Binkp NR mode. It is strongly recommended that CRC mode be enabled for any node which NR mode is enabled for. v1.0.4 03-Sep-2014 - Andrew Leary 1. Reverted Vince Coen's packaging changes until an upgrade script can be written and tested. 2. Added Binkp CRC support (FSP-1020) to mbcico. 3. Changed the No Binkp/1.1 setting for nodes to be effective on outbound calls only. It was causing issues with other mailers (including BinkD) on inbound calls, because mbcico was reporting binkp/1.1 in the VER string and then downshifting to binkp/1.0. 4. Updated the Internet Rex binkp/1.1 bug workaround to reflect that versions 2.31 and 2.67 are also affected. v1.0.3 13-Jun-2014 - Vincent Coen 1. Changed unix/mbuseradd.c Added extra arg to useradd -p 12345 to avoid a locked record under Mageia v4 that prevents the password adding a record due to a file busy may be: Lets see. No it is not so reverted back. 2. Still looking for cause of bug. v1.0.2 14-Mar-2014 - Vincent Coen Changed packaging to use /home/mbse instead of /opt/mbse to suit users with a seperate / and a /home partitions. IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE RESULTS FOR AN EXISTING INSTALL WHERE mbse & bbs users are set up to use /opt/mbse. YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS MANUALLY. The supplied INSTALL script has been changed. To do this you will need to change: 1. Users mbse, bbs and all bbs users to reflect the change of home directory from /opt/mbse to /home/mbse using your distro's graphic system editing tool for users or if not available use usermod via sudo etc: usermod -m -d /home/mbse mbse usermod -m -d /home/mbse/home/bbs bbs usermod -m -d /home/mbse/home/user-name bbs user-name Note that the '-m' option in usermod option is to move the contents from the existing to the new location. You can see the list of bbs users by running: ls -la /opt/mbse/home 2. Using your favourite editor Change /etc/services and /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs Replacing all instances of /opt/mbse with /home/mbse 3. Now do the same with http and ftp config files in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf (or whatever ftp & web service you use. 4. Having installed/upgraded the mbse system you must reboot the system or stop and start mbse, xinetd, ftp, httpd etc services. It is easier just shuting down and starting the system. 5. As su run cp -ap /opt/mbse /home 6. If not already done so, build the system using the usual ./configure & make and now run make install as su or if not available do, sudo bash then su then make install 7. Change all crontab processes that deal with mbse both as user mbse and root to reflect new directory using: crontab -l to see what is current and then as crontab -e to edit. 8. After rebooting the system check everything is working Then I would suggest renaming /opt/mbse say from /opt/mbse /opt/old-mbse and leave it a few days before deleting when you are SURE that all is working. 9. Now when you change the /boot partition or install a new version of your distro you can continue to use your /home as is but do not forget to recreate the crontab, xinetd, rc.d/init.d/mbseb etc as needed by using cp -vp from the old partition to the new or failing that create a modified version of SETUP.sh as needed and run it. ...........NOW READ THE ABOVE, AGAIN.................. lib/ libmbse.a: Replaced ftscprod.014 with ftscprod.016 v1.0.1 Dec 2013 - Vincent Coen lib/ libmbse.a: Fixed packaging and compiling the correct ftscprod file to ftscprod.014. v1.0.0 Dec 2013?
