v0.39.7 14-Jan-2004
|
||
|
||
remark:
|
||
Calling points is availbale now, but I know in the past that I
|
||
changed it to allways call the boss. That was from the time
|
||
that mbtask didn't exist. It is possible that something is
|
||
broken now, please report such situations.
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
In all sources replaced the usleep function with the msleep
|
||
function. The usleep function will become obsolete someday.
|
||
|
||
libcommon.a:
|
||
In execute and execsh on Linux systems sync() is called before
|
||
and after running the external program to make sure diskbuffers
|
||
are committed.
|
||
Added a milliseconds timer.
|
||
Before and after execute and execsh a 100 ms pause is inserted
|
||
to prevent (un)archiver and other errors.
|
||
|
||
mbcico:
|
||
Removed the check to disable calling points.
|
||
Added a check to see if we get a URL to call other systems.
|
||
If nodelist info fails, increase error counter in steps of 10.
|
||
Merged tmail patches from Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski.
|
||
Fixed nodelocks during session handshake after many years. The
|
||
problem showed only when mbcico was used together with a mailer
|
||
on a different OS. When a aka is busy, the aka is now dropped.
|
||
When all akas are busy, a session is impossible and the session
|
||
is refused. Thanks to Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski for finding and
|
||
documenting this bug.
|
||
The total session avg cps is now corrected with the two seconds
|
||
session close delay time.
|
||
During binkp handshake increased the timer of the receiver to
|
||
avoid handshake timeouts.
|
||
|
||
mbfido:
|
||
Removed sync calls that are now in execute.
|
||
|
||
mbfile:
|
||
Removed sync calls that are now in execute.
|
||
|
||
mbdiff:
|
||
Removed sync calls that are now in execute.
|
||
|
||
mbtask:
|
||
Will call points if a call method is available.
|
||
Merged tmail patches from Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski.
|
||
|
||
script:
|
||
New scripts are installed with an extension of .new, you need
|
||
to check yourself if you can use them to replace your own
|
||
possible modified scripts.
|
||
Updated the hatch script to abort if it's not configured.
|
||
If the user skips to hatch a file, the questions for the magic
|
||
and replace command are not shown anymore.
|
||
|
||
examples:
|
||
Changed Dutch newfiles template file.
|

Added upgrade procedure.
|
||
|
||
|

v0.39.6 11-Jan-2004 - 14-Jan-2004
|
||
|
||
upgrade:
|
||
Check setting 7.x.3.18 for each node. If you know the node uses
|
||
Irex between 2.24 and 2.29 then set this to Yes or you won't
|
||
have good sessions without files with this mailer. Sessions
|
||
with Irex that do transfer some file are Ok.
|
||
|
||
mbcico:
|
||
New binkp/1.1 driver. Check the upgrade for your Irex links.
|
||
In case of troubles please report these.
|
||
In the mbcico directory are 2 files, binkpold.c and binkpold.h
|
||
if they are renamed to binkp.c and binkp.h you get the old 1.0
|
||
driver back. After some weeks I hope to remove these 2 old
|
||
files.
|
||
Added support for T-Mail fileboxes, partly written and info
|
||
provided by Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski (2:480/127).
|
||
|
||
mbout:
|
||
Added support for T-Mail fileboxes.
|
||
|
||
mbtask:
|
||
Added support for T-Mail fileboxes.

|
||
Upgraded to new released ftscprod.008
|
||
Added setup option per node to disable the binkp/1.1 protocol.
|
||
Added new binkp/1.1 driver, the code is disabled by default
|
||
and can only be used with the right configure option.
|
||
|
||
common.a:
|
||
Allows node locking with zero bytes lockfiles created by some
|
||
other OS when enabled in the setup.

||
The attach function now checks if a file is already attached.
|
||
|
||

||
Allow m_file command in binkp during file transfer in progress.
|
||
Fixed a segfault when a session failed.
|
||
New binkp/1.1 driver, not compiled by default.
|
||
|
||
mbout:
|
||
Poll, remove poll and request failed to points which had no
|
||
point directory in the outbound, now the directory is created.
|
||
|
||
mbfido:
|
||
With scannews after a GROUP command when authorisation was
|
||
asked we did not perform a login.
|
||
|
||
mbsetup:
|
||
Added setting in menu 1.14 to allow zero bytes lockfiles
|
||
created by another OS.
|
||
Added setting in menu 7.x.3.18 to disable the use of binkp/1.1
|
||
protocol per node.
|
||
Corrected a spelling error (thanks Vince).
|
||
Removed global setup screen for the ftp server.
|
||
|
||
mbtask:
|
||
Changed slow ping logmessages from 5 to 10 seconds.
|
||
Removed default settings for the ftp server.
|
||
|
||
script:
|
||
Fixed NetBSD init script
|
||
All init scripts now clean the ~/var/run directory and start
|
||
the bbs allways so that the bbs will try to start after a power
|
||
failure.
|
||
|
||
html:
|
||
Removed the outdated ftsc documents, www.ftsc.org is the place
|
||
to look for them
|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.39.4 08-Dec-2003 - 24-Dec-2003
|
||
|
||

|
||
translation is not yet complete.
|

Cleanup in main makefile, added help.
|
||
Revised configure and all Makefiles for better support of
|
||
linking with threads libraries.
|
||
Changed endian tests using the configure script.
|
||
Changed compiler flags for threads.
|
||
|
||
upgrade:
|
||
If you didn't change anything of the language defaults then
|
||
delete /opt/mbse/etc/language.data and run mbsetup to create
|
||
a new language.data including the french setup.
|
||
|
||
libmsgbase:
|
||
Changed the fix in JAM to prevent the copy overwrite. This may
|

||
Changed startup scripts for NetBSD.
|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.39.3 26-Nov-2003 - 08-Dec-2003.
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
Since this version Posix threads are being used, please let
|
||
me know if this doesn't compile on you system.
|
||
All Makefiles do not strip the binaries anymore, the binaries
|
||
are stripped during make install only. This allows to run the
|
||
not yet installed binaries under debuggers.
|
||
The configure script has a --enable-debugging option so that
|
||
all code can be compiled to let it run under debuggers. Not
|
||
usefull for production systems.
|
||
This version had a lot of testing using valgrind. Most errors
|
||
were minor problems.

|
||
libclcomm:
|
||
Fixed a small (not harmfull) buffer overlapped copy detected
|
||
by valgrind.

|
||
Dropped binkp CRC support because it will be incompatible with
|
||
future extensions.
|
||
Fixed a small memory leak.
|
||
|
||
mbout:
|
||
Fixed several memory leaks.

Fixed a minor problem with an uninitialized array.
|
||
|

mbtask:
|
||
The ping function now runs in a separate thread.
|
||
Changed some ping timer logic.
|
||
Added a "secret" commandline parameter to allow mbtask to run
|
||
under control of debuggers.
|
||
The client command server runs in a separate thread.
|
||
Fixed some small memory leaks which had no effect on long term
|
||
running of mbtask, only leaks during program stop.
|
||
|
||
mbpasswd:
|
||
Fixed a small memory leak.
|
||
|
||
script:
|
||
Changed all init scripts to allow the slower stopping of mbtask
|
||
For the latest Slackware distros a setup script for pkgtool is
|
||
added. Most other distro's don't need this.
|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.39.2 21-Nov-2003 - 26-Nov-2003
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
Incoming telnet mailer connections are handled using a telnet
|
||
proxy daemon: mbtelind.
|
||
|
||
common.a:
|
||
A small fix in printable log function.
|
||
Added a safety check for the TCP registrate function to prevent
|
||
stale TCP/IP mailer counts.
|
||
|
||
mbcico:
|
||
All internal references to tfido port changed to telnet port
|
||
because we now default to telnet port 23 for ITN calls.
|
||
Incoming calls using the -t itn commandline parameters are not
|
||
supported anymore, they need to go via mbtelind.
|
||
Outgoing telnet doesn't work!
|
||
|
||
mbtelind:
|
||
New program, a incoming telnet proxy daemon to accept incoming
|
||
calls and transfer these via port 60179 to mbcico that will
|
||
handle the call in raw ifcico mode.
|
||
|
||
mbtask:
|
||
Restored ITN protocol.
|
||
|
||
SETUP.sh:
|
||
Changed installation for incoming mailer telnet connections to
|
||
install mbtelind.
|
||
|
||
examples:
|
||
Updated file menus, added View File command.
|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.39.1 22-Oct-2003 - 21-Nov-2003
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
Make dist now creates bzip2 archives.
|
||
Two html pages are now under control of configure.
|
||
The configure scripts shows the use of zlib compression for
|
||
Hydra.
|
||
Completly dropped support for ITN connections sice this is so
|
||
buggy on different implementations that this is impossible to
|
||
get it right to connect to every system.
|
||
You may need to remove the lines for itn support from
|
||
/etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs or /etc/xinetd.conf.
|
||
Also check mbsetup 1.14.3 and remove any ITN flag in there.
|
||
Updated all documentation to validate html makeup.
|
||
Added installation support for Gentoo Linux, contributed by
|
||
Capit<69>n X.
|
||
|
||
upgrade:
|
||
If you don't have any personal archivers, then remove
|
||
~/etc/archiver.data and start mbsetup to recreate the
|
||
archivers setup.
|
||
|
||
mbsebbs:
|
||
Fixed a bug where the bbs goes into a loop after idle timeout
|
||
during login (and maybe in other situations).
|
||
Fixed chat debug logging to only the debug.log file.
|
||
Posted netmail messages now support CC: lines. The CC: lines
|
||
should be the first lines of the message in the format:
|
||
CC: Michiel Broek 2:280/28
|
||
The Carbon Copied messages are marked with original sender.
|
||
|
||
mbfile:
|
||
When the areanumber with the adopt command was not given, the
|
||
help is displayed instead of trying area 0 that doesn't exist.
|
||
With the file move, adopt and import command if the file
|
||
already exists in the destination area, the action is refused.
|
||
Added mbfile sort <area> command. Files are case insensitive
|
||
sorted on the long filename. After sort the indexes are rebuild.
|
||
Fixed some logging that should have been debug logging.
|
||
|
||
mbcico:
|
||
Added hydra rpos id -1 indicator for compression stop that
|
||
Alex and I agreed to use. A FSP document will be written.
|
||
Compression log fixed and added percentage compression.
|
||
Added dynamic optimum sendbuffer size with a maximum of 8192
|
||
bytes with an average size of 2048 bytes.
|
||
Removed ITN support.
|
||
Changed two inbound logmessages to debug level.
|
||
|
||
mbfido:
|
||
Changed two logmessages to debug level.
|
||
|
||
mbsetup:
|
||
In node editor, fixed error message when there was no more
|
||
room for new nodes to point to the right menus.
|
||
Added support for tar compressed archives.
|
||
Changed all fidonet domain names to maximum 8 characters so
|
||
that we now follow the FTSC specs.
|
||
|
||
mbtask:
|
||
Removed support for ITN.
|
||
|
||
script:
|
||
Added install scripts for Gentoo.
|
||
|
||
lang: Two new language prompts, 21 and 22.
|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.39.0 09-Oct-2003 - 22-Oct-2003
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
Added menu setup switches for doors: Singe user door and
|
||
hidden from lists.
|
||
|
||
mbsebbs:
|
||
The whoson list displays the doorname if set in the menus.
|
||
If a door is single user and the door is in use, the second
|
||
user can't start the door but gets a message about this
|
||
situation.
|
||
|
||
mbsetup:
|
||
Added menu settings for single user door and hide door. Added
|
||
setting for the door name in the menus and removed the never
|
||
used password for the menu (Was only present in the setup).
|
||
|
||
mbcico:
|
||
Added Hydra zlib compressed data blocks using the idea of Alex
|
||
Shakhaylo. This is experimental and looks compatible with
|
||
mailers that don't support this option. The compression will
|
||
transfer some files about twice as fast as without compression.
|
||
Changed signal handlers to better detect broken TCP links.
|
||
Added logging to show compressed bytes and switched to compress
|
||
level 9 compression instead of 6.
|
||
Prepared hydra for large compressed data blocks. In the next
|
||
developmement version we will actually start using these
|
||
large blocks, this change is to give all beta testers the
|
||
chance to upgrade.
|
||
|
||
lang:
|
||
Added language prompt 20.
|
||
|
||
examples:
|
||
Updated English and Spanish menus with the new door settings.
|
||
Fixed some spelling errors in the Dutch templates.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.38.0 26-Dec-2002 - 03-Oct-2003
|
||
|
||
upgrade:
|
||
Note: if upgrading from a 0.37.8 or 0.37.9 development version,
|
||
then no upgrade procedure is needed. All others read the next
|
||
carefully!
|
||
|
||
A bit tricky to upgrade and start using the new debug logfile,
|
||
follow the next steps exactly!!
|
||
1. Download and install the source
|
||
2. Run "./configure"
|
||
3. Run "make" (and do not install yet)
|
||
4. Run "mbstat close"
|
||
5. Backup /opt/mbse/bin and /opt/mbse/etc.
|
||
6. Run "mbstat close"
|
||
7. Kill mbtask, mostly "kill `/sbin/pidoff mbtask`" will do.
|
||
8. Run (as root) "make install" to install the new software.
|
||
9. Make sure you are user mbse again.
|
||
10. Start mbtask manual, "mbtask"
|
||
11. Run "mbsetup", enter menu 1, exit, save and close.
|
||
12. Wait one minute.
|
||
13. Run "mbstat open"
|
||
After this is done the first time, restarting mbtask can be
|
||
done as usual by running the mbsed init script. If something
|
||
doesn't work (you get socket errors), it is important that you
|
||
kill mbtask during software versions swap. All software must
|
||
be of the same build.
|
||
Check settings menu 1.5.21 for maximum allowed logins.
|
||
Check setting of menu 1.14.15.
|
||
Remove ~/etc/archiver.data, start mbsetup menu 3, leave and
|
||
save. This updates the archiver view contents commands.
|
||
After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/maptabs and it's contents.
|
||
After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/bank.data.
|
||
After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/safe.data.
|
||
If you want, download and install the nu-door and safe-door
|
||
packages.
|
||
In mbsetup 1.17.3 check if you have the XX,CM,IBN,IFC flags,
|
||
which indicates your TCP/IP capabilities. This is only for
|
||
systems that use TCP/IP, dialup systems should only have
|
||
the XX,CM flags. Important: only protocols that you place
|
||
in this entry are supported, so XX,CM,IBN will let your system
|
||
only call binkp nodes.
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
The nodelist lookup functions are now in a separate library.
|
||
This will give us easy implemtation of new nodelist formats
|
||
and flags.
|
||
Introduced a new file, ~/etc/nodelist.conf, this file will
|
||
be used for nodelist lookup behaviour.
|
||
The current looked-up nodelist strcuture has an extra field,
|
||
the URL how that node must be contacted.
|
||
Debug logging is now in a separate file, the normal logging is
|
||
now only in the normal logfiles.
|
||
Changed all Linux references into GNU/Linux.
|
||
Changed the address of the FSF in all sources.
|
||
Removed memwatch debugger.
|
||
Changed all gif and jpg images to png images.
|
||
Added a setup switch for the nodes for selecting the wrong
|
||
binkp long filenames escape method for Argus and Irex nodes.
|
||
Activated the productcode for mbse that is published in the
|
||
ftscprod.007, MBSE now has an official product code.
|
||
Changed the website address in several sources.
|
||
Added switches for binkp CRC mode in global and node records.
|
||
Added check for inconv.h in configure script for UNIX98
|
||
character set conversion. (Not yet used).
|
||
Removed external (sysop) chat, chat paging times and other
|
||
chat stuff that is of no use anymore. The sysop shows his
|
||
presence by running mbmon. The mbchat program is obsolete.
|
||
Menu item 22 is added, this is user chat session.
|
||
For chat (and sysop/user paging chat) works now using the
|
||
mbtask daemon.
|
||
In several messages handling functions the international
|
||
charset translations are removed because of several bugs. They
|
||
will be replaced by standard library functions. Right now the
|
||
messages are 8 bit clean and there is no translation on the
|
||
gateway. The maptabs are removed.
|
||
Menu items 22 and 23 are removed, menu 319 is added. You may
|
||
want to replace the default txtfiles and menus, upgraded
|
||
versions are in the distribution but are not automatic
|
||
installed.
|
||
Documented menu 318, was present for a long time, just not in
|
||
the html docs.
|
||
The main Makefile now sets each txtfiles directory to mode 775
|
||
to allow doors to write ansi/ascii screens.
|
||
Removed the safe cracker door, this is now external.
|
||
A new developer/translator joined the team, David Gonzalez.
|
||
The settings to suppres some IP protocols (global and nodes)
|
||
are removed, this behaviour must be set using nodelist flags
|
||
configuration.
|
||
Debug logging for mail and news now have one setting, the M.
|
||
Nodelist debug logging now uses the N character.
|
||
In some makefiles the chown user.group syntax changed to
|
||
user:group to follow the new POSIX syntax. Please let me know
|
||
if you are using an older distribution that complains about
|
||
this. This was needed for FreeBSD 4.7.
|
||
Added Dutch template macro files. Updated English and German
|
||
template macro files. Please remove old ones before installing.
|
||
|
||
common.a:
|
||
Added a set of general purpose timers.
|
||
Node locking tests for non-stale lockfiles older then 6 hours.
|
||
Added general code for prgram locking.
|
||
The getheader function changed to support stone-age .pkt's.
|
||
If the packet year has a Y2K bug, the year is fixed. This is
|
||
only cosmetic for logging.
|
||
If the zone info is missing, the zone is guessed from 2d aka
|
||
matching against the system aka's. Then all mail in the .pkt
|
||
file is also assumed to be in that zone if there is no zone
|
||
info in the messages also.
|
||
Guess what, these packets do still exist in Fidonet, it took
|

5 years to find them! If you want to check, call 5:5/0
|
||
Fixed compiler warning in network code.
|
||

|
||
In rfcmsg function the Cc: header is now treated as any other
|

header to prevent a SIGSEGV when the headerline is empty.
|
||
Removed charset conversion/translation.
|

||
practice.

In binkp we don't send a empty dataframe after a file anymore.
|
||
Completly changed the files inbound receive, all files are now
|
||
first stored in a unique per node temporary inbound directory.
|
||
Only after a successfull session all received files are moved
|
||
to the final inbound directory.
|
||
Another goodie is that this is more safe on busy multiline
|
||
systems.
|
||
A light improvement in session handshake setup timers.
|
||
Added EMSI handshake timers, this gives a more relaxed EMSI
|
||
handshake.
|
||
Set the EMSI receive failure count to 20 instead of 6, we can
|
||
now even accept buggy maindoor sessions and still display a
|
||
banner.
|
||
For FTS-0001 sessions the mail password was used instead of the
|
||

|
||
|
||
mbfido:
|
||
The rfc to ftn gate now drops the headerlines starting with
|
||
X-Spam- because they are only filled with advertisents and are
|
||
very large (upto 1200 bytes which is somewhat larger for a
|
||
fidonet kludge).
|
||
Stone age packet support, see common.a.
|
||
Due to a configuration error in some system using some tic
|
||
processor mbfido did crash.
|
||
Now it will log this and continue processing ticfiles with the
|
||
risk of sending files back to the owner of that faulty program.
|
||
Added the same check for Seenby lines.
|
||
In a scanned netmail destined to our own local UUCP gate the
|
||
useless X-FTN-INTL and X-FTN-TOPT kludges are no longer
|
||
inserted in the message.
|
||
Finding the inbound tic file now uses the new filecase function.

|
||
bbs the LFN is converted to lowercase.
|
||
Promoted some normal debug logmessages to heavy debug messages
|
||
in the outbound queue packer.
|
||
Echomail from other zones showed the address of your own zone.
|
||
Added logging when other errors are found.
|
||
At zonegates, the seenby lines were twice stripped.
|
||
Another patch to compensate for sysops that pack pascalnet
|
||
files in fidonet packets and send these messages into the world
|
||
without zone information.
|
||
Made the incoming tic files complete case insensitive, mixed
|
||
case is now processed. If such file is received, the LFN will
|
||
be set to that name.
|
||
The magic unpack command now uses the mail unpack command
|
||
instead of file unpack command so that paths in the archive are
|

|
||
case insensitive.

||
Dropped BlueWave v2 format completly, obsolete format.
|
||
The BlueWave and QWK download packets can have kludges, this
|
||
depends on a setting in the userbase.

|
||
kludge is allways included in the message.

in page mode).
|
||
It will now refuse to up/download OLR packets when the system
|
||
bbs id is not set in the global setup.

|
||
to their private directory. Sysops: now you can start
|
||
collecting area rules!
