v0.51.1 21-Feb-2004
|
||
|
||
upgrade:
|
||
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 Latin-1 for example). Local and netmail
|
||
areas must be done by hand because they are most likely not
|
||
in a group.
|
||
|
||
SETUP.sh:
|
||
Changed to support Darwin (OS X). Note that in earlier days
|
||
mbse did compile under OS X, but things are different since
|
||
then. Work is underway to let it compile and run again.
|
||
|
||
mbsetup:
|
||
In edit message groups added setup for default character set.
|
||
In edit message areas added setup for character set for the
|
||
area. Also added global edit for character set.
|
||
In several places where groups need to be tagged, there is now
|
||
a switch (*) to select/deselect all groups at once.
|
||
In the user editor the sex is now changed with the spacebar to
|
||
prevent typing errors.
|
||
In the user editor added character set edit in the second
|
||
screen.
|
||
Removed users fullscreen chat setting, not used.
|
||
Added menu setup for change character set, menu 321.
|
||
|
||
mbsebbs:
|
||
Writes the ^aCHRS: kludge again in new created messages.
|
||
Changed ^aPID to include OS and CPU.
|
||
Added user selecting a character set, menu 321.
|
||
Added login check to see if user has a valid character set.
|
||
Added Control-U 9 to display file to show the users character
|
||
set in the menus screens.
|
||
Added experimental characterset translation to message read.
|
||
This will translate the message character set used to the users
|
||
character set. When translation is impossible a ? is printed.
|
||
Doesn't work well with Russion, but seems to work with German
|
||
text.
|
||
In delete file in home directory the Y/N keys were read from
|
||
the wrong language prompt.
|
||
|
||
mbmsg:
|
||
Writes the ^aCHRS: kludge again in new created messages.
|
||
Changed ^aPID to include OS and CPU.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Changed ^aPID to include OS and CPU.

|
||
v0.51.0 09-Feb-2004 - 21-Feb-2004
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
Reorganized the library header files. This will make it easier
|
||
to switch to dynamic libraries so other apps can link to mbse.
|
||
|
||
mbaff:
|
||
Patched to store long filename in the newfiles database
|
||
|
||
mbsebbs:
|
||
Added support for the internal editor for hi-ascii
|
||
international character sets.
|
||
The screenlength is now really set to the users screenlength.
|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.50.0 03-Oct-2003 - 09-Feb-2004
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
Added menu setup switches for doors: Singe user door and
|
||
hidden from lists.
|
||
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 and Binkp.
|
||
Updated all documentation to validate html makeup.
|
||
Added installation support for Gentoo Linux, contributed by
|
||
Capit<69>n X.
|
||
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.
|
||
Added French language file created by Francois Thunus. This
|
||
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.
|
||
Upgraded to new released ftscprod.008
|
||
Added setup option per node to disable the binkp/1.1 protocol.
|
||
Added new binkp/1.1 driver.
|
||
In all sources replaced the usleep function with the msleep
|
||
function. The usleep function will become obsolete someday.
|
||
Incoming and outgoing telnet (ITN) sessions finally works.
|
||
|
||
upgrade:
|
||
If you don't have any personal archivers, then remove
|
||
~/etc/archiver.data and start mbsetup to recreate the
|
||
archivers setup.
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
libclcomm:
|
||
Fixed a small (not harmfull) buffer overlapped copy detected
|
||
by valgrind.
|
||
|
||
libcommon:
|
||
A small fix in printable log function.
|
||
Added a safety check for the TCP registrate function to prevent
|
||
stale TCP/IP mailer counts.

|
||
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.
|
||
In execute and execsh on Linux systems sync() is called before
|
||
and after running the external program to make sure diskbuffers
|
||
are committed. Also added a 300 ms pause.
|
||
Added a milliseconds timer.
|
||
Code cleanup.

|
||
In JAM_Open replaced a strcpy with memmove.

|
||
Code cleanup in dbdupe.
|
||
|
||
libnodelist:
|
||
Fixed a small memory leak.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
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.

|
||
setting for the door name in the menus and removed the never
|
||
used password for the menu (Was only present in the setup).
|
||
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.
|
||
Removed binkp CRC settings.
|
||
Fixed a unitialized unlink call in nodes close.

read function.

|
||
present.

|
||
|

mbcico:
|
||
Added Hydra zlib compressed data blocks using the idea of Alex
|
||
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.
|
||

|
||

|
||
provided by Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski (2:480/127).
|
||
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.
|
||
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.

|
||
answer telnet (ITN) sessions.

||
|
||
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.
|
||
Fixed a uninitialized memory pointer in the index command.
|

|
||
under control of debuggers.
|
||
The client command server runs in a separate thread.
