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.
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.

by valgrind.

situation.
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 log to the debug.log file.

Shakhaylo. The compression will transfer some files about twice
as fast as without compression.
Changed signal handlers to better detect broken TCP links.
Changed two inbound logmessages to debug level.
All internal references to tfido port changed to telnet port
because we now default to telnet port 23 for ITN calls.
Dropped binkp CRC support because it will be incompatible with
future extensions.
Fixed a small memory leak.
New binkp/1.1 driver. Check the upgrade for your Irex links.
In case of troubles please report these.

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.
