+13Jun00=======================================================================
+1. fixed looping bug in C client on ending.
+12Jun00=======================================================================
+1. Added RCMD for clx
+2. Added WCY processing
+3. Added new node types (clx, spider, dxnet, arcluster)
+4. Store echo settings
+5. Store pagelth settings
+6. sort out source of DXVars for callbot.pl
+7. added sh/isolate
+8. added sh/lockout
+11Jun00=======================================================================
+1. removed extraneous DXDebug from DXUtil
+2. added help for set/echo
+3. Centralised all spot, wwv and ann dup handling into respective packages.
+4. Created new AnnTalk package (for above and OOing announce and talk
+handling).
+5. Fixed problem with outputting lines with | in them to console.pl.
+10Jun00=======================================================================
+1. got rid of some more nasty bugs in sh/qra.
+2. fixed 9A3xx to always be Croatia (and not Haiti!).
+09Jun00=======================================================================
+1. change some print commands in DXMsg to dbg('err'...
+2. overloaded confess, croak et al into DXDebug and removed Carp from
+everywhere and checked that the necessary debugging really does go into
+the debug files now.
+3. changed print statements in cluster.pl to dbg('err',... so they go into
+the debug files as well.
+4. Altered the logic around duplicate spots, reduced the length of comment
+checked to 20 characters (this should solve some problems including those
+people sucking ar-cluster spots with prefixes in the extreme rh end).
+08Jun00=======================================================================
+1. fixed problem with binary characters from cluster->client
+2. added set/echo and unset/echo commands
+3. echo login characters on login: prompt for C client
+4. Send \r\n on telnet connections for C Client
+5. Make echoing the default option (for M$ telnet clients :-()
+11May00=======================================================================
+1. fixed looping in Msg.pm (at last)
+10May00=======================================================================
+1. wrote a cross between 'tail -f' and grepdbg so that you can watch the
+debug files for particular strings and only have them print out.
+05May00=======================================================================
+1. rewrote parts of Msg.pm and client.c so that the messages no longer use
+a length word at the front of each one. They are simply strings of characters
+separated by a \n. No binary characters are allowed (they are encoded as %nn)
+a la HTTP. This hopefully cures Arnold's problem and also make it more
+secure anyway. It also paves the way for the ax25/ip multicast client.
+30Apr00=======================================================================
+1. put some extra checks and balances in to message send routine in Msg.pm to
+see if I can prevent the error seen by Arnold (which I think is only likely to
+appear in heavily loaded sites).
+25Apr00=======================================================================
+1. Changed reply so that you can reply to more than one address privately
+31Mar00=======================================================================
+1. fixed nnn-mmm in kill (erase/delete) msgs so that mmm is also deleted and
+not just nnn -> mmm-1.
+2. Added an autosplit to message importing so that messages are split
+automagically into bits if the filename used in the import directory starts
+with "split". This will add a [1/5] type string on the the end of the subject.
+3. dedupe more aggressively on the text of Spots so that only the 1st 27 chars
+of text are considered (as opposed to the whole lot).
+30Mar00=======================================================================
+1. altered client.pl connect code so that it doesn't falsely recognise
+/spider/src/client as a 'client' instruction.
+28Mar00=======================================================================
+1. Added buffering to client
+2. Fixed LOGIN so that you can login with an arbitrary callsign
+27Mar00=======================================================================
+1. updated wpxloc.raw and rsgb.cty for 4W and TX0.
+2. display 'start time' rather than 'last start time in' in who.
+3. Allow local users to see their own sh/talk or sh/log stuff.
+4. A more robust version of the C client.
+5. Added a message exporting command 'export'.
+6. allow swopping on all messages, including imported and manually sent ones
+7. S A < B @ C $BID now works from the command line and thus bbses ought to
+be able to send messages into the cluster. Bids are (currently) ignored.
+26Mar00=======================================================================
+1. first cut of C client
+18Mar00=======================================================================
+1. fixed convkeps.pl so that it accepts more formats for floating point.
+08Mar00=======================================================================
+1. tidied up Sun.pm and sh/sat
+2. fixed sh/qra so that the correct lat/long is displayed if only one locator
+is given.
+10Jan00=======================================================================
+1. added Steve Franke's new Sun.pm and show/satellite command
+08Jan00=======================================================================
+1. really removed the restriction on 0 length messages.
+2. added a periodic msg file import system a la FBB. Stick one or more files
+into /spider/msg/import with a suitable SEND line, subject and the text and
+it will import it. The importer will accept some BBS syntax (eg < GB7TLH) to
+allow you to customise the 'from' callsign.
+03Jan00=======================================================================
+1. changed the copyright statement in sh/version!
+2. added sh/date with special "be compatible with ak1a" syntax for the output
+of sh/date with no arguments, otherwise the same as sh/time. A special favour
+to G4PDQ...
+3. and another one, added show/node especially for G4PDQ.
+01Jan00=======================================================================
+1. Fixed Julian routines to get rid of the millenium bug! (do as I say, not
+as I do!).
+2. updated gdx.pl so that external programs can do a sh/dx just as a normal
+user can. On reflection this could be used as a model for all sorts of
+"external" interface routines.
+3. renamed gdx.pl as showdx.
+11Dec99=======================================================================
+1. added missing pc48 so that it calls the DXDb::process routine
+10Dec99=======================================================================
+1. allow msgs to marked as read or unread
+02Dec99=======================================================================
+1. DX command doesn't recognise '6M' as '6m' in SH/DX ON 6M.
+2. set/node now sets the homenode as the callsign.
+3. changed the label for the 18Mhz band from '18m' to '17m' in the bands
+table.
+01Dec99=======================================================================
+1. started the callbot which lives at n2tly.dxcluster.net 9000.
+2. added www.qrz.com
+3. added www.buck.com
+4. added k4ute at no4j.com
+28Nov99=======================================================================
+1. fixed all the stupid errors introduced in 1.36 confusing DXUser->get with
+DXCluster->get_exact.
+24Nov99=======================================================================
+1. extended badmsg.pl stuff so that it works like the forward file and allows
+one to reject on to, from, origin and subject fields.
+2. added a swop.pl again in a forward.pl like format that allows simple swop
+for a field or test on a field and set another.
+3. Fixed the problem that read private mail follows you around as well as
+unread private mail does.
+4. Change the logic of connections so that the node will accept callsigns with
+SSIDs to -8 as different entities from each other. SSIDs > 8 are subtracted
+from 15 and are assumed to be coming in via netrom diddled connections. This
+affects lots of the commands as well. I may not have got them all.
+5. Hangup clients on HUP signals. I originally ignored them, for reasons that
+are now lost in the mists of time. HUP signals now cause clients to die
+(cleanly) and disconnect everything correctly.
+6. Added show/time command
+21Nov99=======================================================================
+1. lose extraneous rubbish after the callsign as sent by BBSes.
+2. Change end label on sh/moon to RGain dB rather than Loss dB.
+3. Remove spurious call to DXCluster->get_exact in pc50.
+4. Allow rcmd to locally connected nodes that are not (for some reason) in the
+nodes table.
+5. Try and send a PC39 in more cases to a cluster that I want to disconnect
+from in the hope that it notices and disconnects its end.
+20Nov99=======================================================================
+1. Added set/unset logininfo which will tell anybody that has this set when
+someone has either logged in or out of this node.
+2. Added set/pinginterval command which alters the length of time between
+pings sent to nodes, the value is minutes < 120 and seconds above that, 0
+means disable pinging (not recommended).
+3. If someone does a sysop whilst connected via ax25, don't show privilege
+level or passwd in stat/user.
+4. Fixed the problem with the dx command where if the callsign ended in a ?
+then the call and the freq would be replicated in the remarks.
+5. Set/unset ann, dx, talk, beep, wx, wwv all are now permanent (ie stored in
+the user file)
+19Nov99=======================================================================
+1. Added new version of sh/sun and also sh/moon from Steve K9AN
+2. Added rtt to who.
+3. added Aliase for show/tnc_sta to who.
+4. added Alias for show/uptime to sh/cl
+18Nov99=======================================================================
+1. Added ping obs counter together with Time::HiRes timers. This will dis-
+connect nodes that fail to respond to 3 ping requests (on the 4th attempt).
+The default time is a ping every 3 mins, therefore a link will be struck out
+after 12 minutes of nil response.
+2. Maintain a table of outstanding connects to other nodes and prevent over-
+laps (special favour to G0RDI).
+17Nov99=======================================================================
+1. Started using Data::Dumper for things again
+2. 'Fixed' DXUser file corruption?
+3. Allow multiline (ie lines with \n in them) output in $DXChannel::send
+4. Added Andrew K9CW's updated wpxloc.raw, regenerated prefix_data.pl
+5. Put in callsign matching and stuff into sh/sun.
+14Nov99=======================================================================
+1. added BBS.pm to start BBS input of mail
+2. fixed eval in DXUser to log errors rather than banging out
+12Nov99=======================================================================
+1. added sh/sun command kindly supplied by Steve K9AN.
+2. allow ^Z on its own on a line to terminate a message
+08Nov99=======================================================================
+1. added spoofing (mk1 version) for sysops, useful for those little jobs like
+reseting a user's qra locator and such like "spoof g7brn set/qra jo02lq".
+2. fixed set/location so it stores the qra locator in the qra locator slot,
+NOT the lat/long (who wrote this stuff...?).
+07Nov99=======================================================================
+1. reduced the amount of stuff compared against for dup announces.
+2. Check the regex for DK0WCY announces produces results before storing it as
+a WWV.
+3. Added some logging for set/priv (un)set/lockout.
+4. Added test long path calc to sh/muf
+5. Only wonder down the msg queue every minute
+6. Put in the initial DB code (at last), you can create and remove local and
+standard remote dbs, you can import AK1A style .FUL ascii databases, you can
+enquire on a local or remote database.
+7. A return ping to a node will clear down all outstanding pings to
+that node (which might cause some confusion if more then one ping is
+outstanding for a node, but then - shit happens).
+04Nov99=======================================================================
+1. Removed ~ from the end of the PC18.
+2. Removed a hangover from duff character checking in cluster.pl
+3. Stop PC frames that are to be routed, being routed back to themselves.
+03Nov99=======================================================================
+1. Simplified command caching so it uses anonymous subroutines, you should
+also get error messages back on the console now when developing.
+2. Allow locally connected AK1A clusters that for some obscure reason don't
+issue PC19s to still appear as connected and allow them to acquire users.
+31Oct99=======================================================================
+1. updated Minimuf.pm and show/muf.pl to the fixed versions sent to me by
+Steve Franke K9AN.
+2. Made set/badnodes work, added show/badnodes. This is an interim fix until
+input spot filtering works.
+24Oct99=======================================================================
+1. fixed announces so that nodes only get one of them (not two).
+2. Altered the select timeouts to prevent apparent excessive CPU usage on
+multiprocessor machines (or at least that is what seems to be the trouble
+here).
