+15Sep07=======================================================================
+1. Add *optional* INET6 connectivity. In order to use this you must load
+IO::Socket::INET6 and its dependencies from CPAN or get the distro's packaged
+versions. I used 'sudo aptitude install libio-socket-inet6-perl' for ubuntu
+(which should work for debian as well), for fedora/rpm based systems
+'sudo yum install perl-IO-Socket-INET6' or near equiv should work. This has
+been done quite simplistically, but it seems to work.
+10Sep07=======================================================================
+1. Remove warnings for EINPROGRESS etc for Windows perl 5.8.
+2. Try to see if using just one lastid is viable in all situations. If it is
+then this will cure the talk problem.
+20Aug07=======================================================================
+1. add cty.dat + wpxloc.raw changes for CTY-1706.
+31Jul07=======================================================================
+1. extend 60m band slighty and add ssb section.
+2. add a new cty.dat (CTY-1705) from Jim AD1C.
+27Jul07=======================================================================
+1. Added Angel's changes to Messages for Spanish (finally).
+25Jul07=======================================================================
+1. don't clear out routing tables on shutdown. This should speed that up.
+24Jul07=======================================================================
+1. Try to target PC93 (the combined talk/ann/chat sentence) better. Prevent
+PC12 chat going to non-dxspider and non-ak1a nodes. None of the others seem to
+handle it correctly (Lee VE7CC: do you?).
+2. a few other tidyups,
+see: http://www.dxcluster.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=spider.git
+for details.
+18Jul07=======================================================================
+1. Change the meaning of set/isolate. Set/isolate now works in both directions
+in that an isolated node will only have its local config remembered and will
+only be sent this nodes local config. This is exactly equivalent to both
+ends setting set/isolate. If that is already the case then there should be
+no noticeable change. Any extra that the far node sends, over and above its
+local config will now be ignored.
+17Jul07=======================================================================
+1. remove dupefile on startup and on ending the node. Add clear/dupefile
+command to allow people to do it at runtime as well.
+12Jul07=======================================================================
+1. Change disconnection code so that nodes that are no longer routable are
+(all) cleared out.
+2. Add help for sh/band and also allow query of individual band or regions.
+11Jul07=======================================================================
+1. improve speed of sh/c/n
+2. remove all $Id$ strings from cmd tree
+09Jul07=======================================================================
+1. remove check for PC93 from legacy nodes. This will allow PC10s to be
+propagated correctly. Probably.
+08Jul07=======================================================================
+1. put in a temporary fix to the crashing on incoming PC10 talks, whilst I
+try to work out how it is happening.
+06Jul07=======================================================================
+1. re-arrange id checking so that it is more logical and check that config
+records, that can be an hour coming, are not thoughtlessly ignored, thus
+causing nodes to time out.
+2. Make sure that the 'over midnight' distance calculation actually does what
+is required!
+3. Tart up version number reporting in sh/node.
+4. Pass the correct number of parameters in pc93 -> pc12 conversions which
+should stop returning PC12s coming out as SYSOP announces.
+05Jul07=======================================================================
+1. Try to make sure that the node config broadcasts are actually sent...
+03Jul07=======================================================================
+1. fix unwanted dupe notifications if a PC12 comes back in on a loop.
+02Jul07=======================================================================
+1. Add a new command to show the contents of the cmd_cache. This allows those
+people whom develop their own commands to see which version they are using.
+It is called show/cmd_cache (or sh/cmd for short).
+2. Add some extra info to the links command. Show whether a link is isolated
+and also whether it has filters (if applicable) and whether these are
+personalised ('Y') or the default node_filter ('D').
+29Jun07=======================================================================
+1. If a node is set/isolated then make sure that a) pc9x is not advertised
+and b) pc9x is ignored.
+2. Add (un)set/wantpc9x command (but please don't use them without talking
+to me first), here be dragons!!
+25Jun07=======================================================================
+1. make sure that a C record is sent for node call every update period.
+2. make announces work again (probably).
+3. Fix long standing possibility of a crash with a new user.
+4. Add continuous chatting (like talk with no message eg 'chat #9000' just on
+its own with no message).
+24Jun07=======================================================================
+1. Fix the routing algorithms to allow route selection in the face of
+incomplete trees of nodes (trees as produced by sh/newc).
+2. Fix the obscount issues which mean that many nodes get timed out after 3hrs.
+3. Extend 4m to 70631 to cover CT.
+23Jun07=======================================================================
+1. fix basic deduping algorithm
+2. rearrange node startup protocol to avoid issuing unnecessary PC92 and also
+to spread the PC92Cs out for dependent nodes.
+3. increase the PC92C update time to 1 hour.
+4. fix sh/route, with a view toward replacing Route::alldxchan.
+5. downgrade a link advertising pc9x if no PC92C forthcoming from it back to
+old style protocol and carry on, rather than disconnecting (protocol facist
+that I was).
+6. Fix isolated pc9x nodes so that they remain in oldstyle protocol.
+22Jun07=======================================================================
+1. Fix Alias for sh/mydx (so it isn't the same as sh/myfdx).
+2. Fix sh/c/n uninitialised variable message
+3. Fix (and improve) sh/newc gb7 problem
+4. Fix broken set/sys_qra command
+21Jun07=======================================================================
+1. merge back SIMPLEROUTE branch to issue as official 1.54.
+18Jun07=======================================================================
+1. add a optional dependency on Encode (included in 5.8.x) to encode strings
+to latin1 for deduping purposes, hopefully getting rid of some dupes.
+2. add a default INPUT filter for a node (by_dxcc <node's country>) if no
+specific or default INPUT node exists.
+14Jun07=======================================================================
+1. prepare for git repository and moving of anon cvs repository to
+scm.tobit.co.uk.
+13Jun07=======================================================================
+1. start using git.
+2. change all the version / build numbering.
+11Jun07=======================================================================
+1. Change the frequency normalisation for DX Spot dupe checks so that any
+decimal part is thrown away (in other words: truncate the freq to integer khz)
+20May07=======================================================================
+1. add 1704 cty.dat
+08Apr07=======================================================================
+1. add CTY-1703 cty.dat
+2. alter the way the dupefile deletion is done.
+18Mar07=======================================================================
+1. change URL in show/425.
+04Mar07=======================================================================
+1. add CTY 1702 prefix data files
+22Feb07=======================================================================
+1. add show/myfdx to Aliases.
+15Feb07=======================================================================
+1. allow convkeps.pl to parse NORAD keps files.
+22Jan07=======================================================================
+1. disable default propagation of PC9x sentences
+2. simplify PC17 handling
+16Jan07=======================================================================
+1. back ported a change to PC16 handling so that a locally connected node's
+info clears out and generally overrides any residual PC16 info gathered from
+elsewhere.
+15Jan07=======================================================================
+1. added CTY-1701
+07Jan07=======================================================================
+1. use IO::Socket blocking where available and switch off or ignore all
+attempts to block.
+05Jan07=======================================================================
+1. increase default ephemeral deduping on PC15 to 6 minutes (from 2).
+23Nov06=======================================================================
+1. added wrapping to over length lines in console.pl.
+03Nov06=======================================================================
+1. add CTY-1609 changes
+2. add back Geo::Taf code with submitted mods
+3. add new version of the sh/425 code using the new database location.
+09Oct06=======================================================================
+1. fix problems with bad filters pointed by Thomas DL3SBB.
+27Jul06=======================================================================
+1. merge in official issue version of wpxloc.raw (with one change: 4U1V).
+26Jul06=======================================================================
+1. incorporated Jim AD1C's spiffy new, unified, wpxloc.raw and version
+1605 of cty.dat.
+21Jul06=======================================================================
+1. Added the (now) all new gtkconsole program, with all the changes needed in
+dxspider to run it (yet another cmd interface (sigh)). You will need gtk2-perl
+installed (most modern linux distros do this automatically). The big news is
+that this will work on Windows boxes as well if you install the Gtk libraries
+as per: http://gtk2-perl.sf.net.
+03Jun06=======================================================================
+1. Added changes to wpxloc.raw (prefixes) suggested by Jim AD1C.
+2. Made a change to prevent xml data being interpreted unless we are
+configured for it.
+3. Change the buddy messages after a suggestion from Angel EA7WA.
+02Apr06=======================================================================
+1. incorporated cty-1604 data.
+29Mar06=======================================================================
+1. fix sh/muf that I broke in the previous change
+26Mar06=======================================================================
+1. Arrange for any online buddies to be displayed when a user logs on.
+2. Try to reduce the amount of POSIX stuff that is loaded to just that which
+is required.
+23Mar06=======================================================================
+1. Added cty-1603 data.
+2. On the advice of Jim AD1C I have changed around some things in wpxloc.raw
+that affect 8J,CT2,KC4,KG4,KG6,ZK1 and ZS2. These should now show the more
+likely canonical prefix.
+3. On the advice of Tom WB8ZRL, I have made BW an alias for BV (Taiwan) and
+made some other changes to affect the selection between the mainland and the
+island more reliable.
+10Mar06=======================================================================
+1. fix sh/c/n.
+2. Add new Spanish translations by Angel EA7WA.
+07Mar06=======================================================================
+1. Add the node call to remote tell_login and tell_buddie calls.
+06Mar06=======================================================================
+1. Fix warning on empty PC19s.
+2. Add new command set/local_node to allow people to see logins/outs on other
+related nodes.
+3. Add new command set/buddy to allow people to see when their favorite
+chum(s) logins/out.
+4. Arrange filter reading so that the following order is followed for users:
+callsign, callsign less ssid, user_default. Nodes are unchanged.
+14Feb06=======================================================================
+1. Turn R and SFI around in mrtg.pl.
+13Feb06=======================================================================
+1. Updated prefixes with cty-1601 data.
+2. Fixed qth in show/muf so that it shows the correct qth (if known).
+3. Try to make the state machine in convkeps.pl deal with more variations
+of the 2 line keps sets that are available on line. Also give a sensible
+error message if no keps were actually decoded.
+4. Update the base keps to the latest set of AMSAT keps 06033.
+04Feb06=======================================================================
+1. Explicitly ignore spots with lower case characters in the spotted call
+01Feb06=======================================================================
+1. Explicitly ignore spots with blank spotted callsigns
+26Jan06=======================================================================
+1. Fix divide by 0 error in DXBearing (how come this has taken so long to
+appear?).
+22Jan06=======================================================================
+1. Remove +<prefix> from the fronts of comments to fix LoTW dupes.
+18Jan06=======================================================================
+1. Fix spurious announce from previous year appearing in sh/ann.
+15Jan06=======================================================================
+1. Fix some obviously long standing problems with create_sysop.pl and also
+with initialising the User file.
+2. Fixed the problem with certain things not being shown in sh/log (because of
+a regex that rejected too many things).
+3. Speeded up sh/log quite a bit at the same time.
+4. Add a default limit of the last 36 months for sh/log querys.
+14Jan06=======================================================================
+1. undo frequency rounding change, it causes more problems than it solves.
+11Jan06=======================================================================
+1. Fixed problem with badspotters doing ann/full as pointed out by Luigi
+IK5ZUK.
+07Jan06=======================================================================
+1. Fixed problem with the standalone 'showdx' program pointed out by Leo,
+IZ5FSA.
+2. Fixed rounding problem on entering spots as pointed out by Ron N5IN.
+3. Fixed problem with badspotters sending DX as pointed out by Luigi IK5ZUK.
+4. Added some extra logging for swearing so that we can see what lines used
+which swear words. Hopefully this will allow sysops to refine their swearing
+filters more easily.
+06Jan06=======================================================================
+1. Fix problem with rcmd <call> sh/fdx
+27Dec05=======================================================================
+1. put some more flesh on the SQL stuff (which may turn out to be a bit of a
+red herring as it doesn't appear to be significantly faster (for spots) than
+the existing code).
+21Dec05=======================================================================
+1. Add start of optional SQL working.
+2. Fix BadWords so that the simple word check splits words on word boundaries.
+13Dec05=======================================================================
+1. upissue version no to 1.52
+07Nov05=======================================================================
+1. Fix warnings on filtering spots where the filter was looking at US states
+and there is no US state in the spot.
+2. Fix the dupes caused by having a prefix in the last characters of the
+comment.
+01Nov05=======================================================================
+1. add log2csv.pl for printing out logfiles
+25Oct05=======================================================================
+1. Incorporated the cty.dat from Jim dated today (25Oct05).
+08Oct05=======================================================================
+1. Reject PC11s with blank spot callsigns
+01Sep05=======================================================================
+1. Change the logic of propagating WWV broadcasts. Now all non-input filtered
+PC23s will be sent on. Previously only the first successful new WWV was
+rebroadcast.
+2. fix the problem with by_dxcc and origin_dxcc not working on WWV.
+29Aug05=======================================================================
+1. try something else to resolve/prevent more of these spot dupes. It appears
+that there is software out there chopping off variable amounts from the ends
+of comment fields. This makes the task of detecting dupes that much harder.
+10Aug05=======================================================================
+1. trim dx spot duplicate length after normalisation
+2. Do the same for announces
+08Jul05=======================================================================
+1. new CTY.DAT encorporated
+27May05=======================================================================
+1. change copyright in dbg message at startup.
+25May05=======================================================================
+1. Added a means to import a script of arbitrary commands to allow external
+programs to do stuff.
+23Mar05=======================================================================

+2. mention action on talk and ann/full in help.
+22Mar05=======================================================================

+22Mar05=======================================================================
+1. fixed sh/c/node sh/c/a and sh/newc/n.
+21Mar05=======================================================================
+1. log AGW port on connection
+2. merge in latest (2Mar2005) cty.dat
+3. fix command searching so it does not pick up false positives for commands
+with / in them in directories that don't have that.
+4. Important security change.
+5. add missing input filter for WWV
+16Mar05=======================================================================
+1. make the correct correction to the DL entry in wpxloc.raw (left out the
+'N' of 'North' in the latitude).
+2. Severely reduce the dupes caused by some of the badly configured / written
+spot suckers out there.
+13Mar05=======================================================================
+1. There has been a mix up in the Aranea1 branch. I have managed to merge a
+change that I have been meaning to do for ages. I have now made that change
+here.
+27Feb05=======================================================================
+1. fix duping on bad spot suckers that copy the prefix that is put at the end
+of the comment section by AR-C nodes becoming the whole comment.
+26Feb05=======================================================================
+1. Added show/grayline command from Steve K9AN. This is also aliased to
+show/greyline :-)
+2. fix spot dupe ambiguity on spotter having an SSID (remove it).
+25Feb05=======================================================================
+1. Changed the way spot deduping is done. This is likely to make deduping much
+stricter. In essence a person cannot spot the same call on the same frequency
+more than once an hour (configurable) unless he makes a (non-duped) comment
+as well.
+2. Added Swains Island
+3. Added TO4G for Glorioso
+19Feb05=======================================================================
+1. changed ssb allocation on 40m to add missing 5Khz.
+2. Change sh/425 to Leo, IZ5FSA's requirements.
+08Feb05=======================================================================
+1. possibly fixed the multiple condition problems on sh/dx
+2. added some FAQs.
+05Feb05=======================================================================
+1. Fix a long standing (ie since the first bulletin was sent) bug with old
+mail not being deleted until a restart was done.
+2. As well as a duplicate check on existing bulletins, I have added a check
+the message is not (already) too old.
+3. fix problem for perl < 5.6 in Thingy.pm
+03Feb05=======================================================================
+1. Added latest Spanish translations courtesy of Angel EA7WA.
+2. Force all languages to use pr in en in Messages, as the prompt is
+the same for all.
+19Jan05=======================================================================
+1. More Spanish changes by Angel, EA7WA.
+2. add language dependant motd files. You can now have motd_{lang} and
+motd_nor_{lang} (eg for Spanish: motd_es and motd_nor_es) for normal and
+non-registered (if you use registration) users respectively. Based on an idea
+from Angel, EA7WA.
+18Jan05=======================================================================
+1. Added missing Spanish translation courtesy of Angel EA7WA.
+2. Really incorporate latest cty.dat (11Dec04) as opposed to merely thinking
+I had (and still add 3X0Y as well).
+3. fix ? all in non english language
+4. Alias sh/st and sh/sta back to show/station from show/startup.
+17Jan05=======================================================================
+1. Added 3Y0X to Peter Island 3Y in cty.dat.
+16Jan05=======================================================================
+1. Added the changes to Canadian Prefixes so that usdbraw.gz from Charlie
+K1XX's website (http://dxc.k1xx.com/download) dated after 1Jan05 will include
+Canadian city and province data as well the existing US data.
+2. Improve the apropos command to take better account of language and do
+a better job of only showing english stuff for commands where there really is
+no local language version.
+15Jan05=======================================================================
+1. knocked over a few possible ways of people annoying other people thru
+the use of scripts
+2. Fixed problem in DXCommandmode with an indirect call that did not work
+in perl < 5.8.0.
+3. Add Spanish translations of new scripting commands in help, from Angel
+EA7WA.
+13Jan05=======================================================================
+1. Fixed prompting in languages other than English.
+2. Fixed language problem with spoof, but that simply hides a whole can of
+worms that I shall have to address later.
+3. Added make clean to src Makefile (!!!)
+12Jan05=======================================================================
+1. Add $main::bumpexisting variable which allows a new connection for a user
+call to disconnect an existing connection with the same call. The default for
+this variable is 'true' (1). This means that existing behaviour has changed.
+set/var $main::bumpexisting = 0 to return to original behaviour.
+2. Remind a user every hour (as default) that they have new messages.
+set/var $DXCommandmode::msgpolltime = 3*3600 to set it to 3 hours.
+3. Allow some substitutions in set/prompt (call, date, time and
+cluster call) and add dxspider just before the > as standard.
+4. Add $main::allowdxby variable so that sysops can switch off the
+'DX BY <othercall' command. It is set to 0 (ie disabled) by default. This
+is for sysops who don't want to bump privilege to allow it. That still works
+as before.
+5. Fix the bug in 'dx by <call>' that causes only the first word of the
+comment to be recorded.
+6. Fix bug counting backwards over a leap year in Julian.pm which meant that
+sh/dxstats doesn't start at 'yesterday' anymore.
+7. Added set/startup and show/startup commands to allow users and sysops
+to create and display startup scripts. There is also an unset/startup to
+remove a script.
+27Dec04=======================================================================
+1. add improved VE data from Charlie K1XX. You should update usdb as well.
+22Dec04=======================================================================
+1. Changed all the names of US prefixes to be prepended with their State code.
+thus "Alaska-KL7" becomes "AK-Alaska-KL7".
+21Dec04=======================================================================
+1. added AGW port no after an example by IW5DEZ.
+2. modified links command to suggestions by Charlie K1XX.
+3. added show/groups command to show recently used chat groups by Tommy
+SM3OSM.
+4. fixed T8 / V6 ambiguity (at least basically).
+20Dec04=======================================================================
+1. updated create_prefix.pl to only use (supplied) wpxloc.raw and cty.dat
+2. Added IG9, GM/S, 4U1V and some other detail changes to make it compatible
+with cty.dat.
+3. regenerated prefix_data.pl with updated wpxloc.raw and cty.dat 11Dec04.
+17Dec04=======================================================================
+1. add undocumented special command for VE7CC.
+10Dec04=======================================================================

+09Dec04=======================================================================
+1. fix show/mydx properly this time (and test the fix!)
+2. fix the default in show/qrz
+06Dec04=======================================================================
+1. fix show/mydx if there is no defined spotfilter
+07Oct04=======================================================================
+1. added the ability for people to import chat from external programs.
+create a directory called /spider/chat_import, make sure it is writable
+by any applications that might dump stuff in there (chmod 1777
+/spider/chat_import on *nux). Put a file with a sensible name in there;
+the first part of the name will be the chat group to whom the message will
+be sent. So solar.txt.12325 = SOLAR. Announces can also be sent to local, all
+and sysop (ie files whose name begins with those names). Each line in the
+file becomes a chat line or an announce. See importwwv.pl for an example.
+DO NOT USE importwwv.pl, I am already using it and if you do as well, people
+will get duplicates which will ANNOY THEM!!! It is just an example.
+23Aug04=======================================================================
+1. add the start of an alternative routing engine (RouteDB)
+20Aug04=======================================================================
+1. Added new protocol specification to techdoc
+17Aug04=======================================================================
+1. change 'fo' alias in Aliases
+31Jul04=======================================================================
+1. add a load of .cvsignore lines to reduce the updating noise

+1. make sure that // is not converted to / in command lines.
+28Jul04=======================================================================

+are 'believed'.
+2. added missing entries in Internet.pm for sh/contest
+26Jul04=======================================================================

+14Jun04=======================================================================
+1. fix previous fix of sh/dx
+09Jan04=======================================================================
+1. removed PC90 which was breaking various filtering things.
+2. added realtime spot formats to sh/dx (at least in basic form), this is
+activated by using either of the keywords 'real' of 'rt' on the command
+line. Also added sh/fdx as an alias.
+01Jan04=======================================================================
+1. move position of USDB init to get rid of an obscure bug pointed out by
+Charlie K1XX.
+2. Remove redundant documentation.
+31Dec03=======================================================================
+1. alter remote database handling to 'new standard'.
+30Dec03=======================================================================
+1. updated website to make it clear(er) that it all works under Windows (like
+wot Charlie said...).
+2. made the changes to the German Messages that Thomas DL3SBB sent me a
+loooong time ago.
+3. made 'dx by' require at least privilege 1.
+29Dec03=======================================================================
+1. updated dxoldtonew.pl so that it takes an AK1A DX.DAT file (argument on
+command line or a default of /spider/data/DX.DAT and outputs the standard
+DXSpider format spot files. Please be warned that if any of these files
+already exist, the data will be appended onto the end of the file. Please
+make sure you have backups or at least be aware that this may give strange
+results which may be 'out of order'.
+24May03=======================================================================
+1. Added more french translations from Robert (HB9BZA) and we now have some
+french help as well (also from Robert). A splendid effort. Thank you.
+16May03=======================================================================
+1. Correct Windows section of the Addendum file! (g0vgs)
+06May03=======================================================================
+1. Add Portuguese language courtesy of David CT1DRB (set/lang pt)
+2. Add French language courtesy of Robert HB9BZA (set/lang fr)
+02Apr03=======================================================================
+1. Fix some minor problems with the manuals (g0vgs)
+01Apr03=======================================================================
+1. Update filtering primer, changes by N3RD (g0vgs)
+28Mar03=======================================================================
+1. Added an excellent document on filtering to the manuals from Jim, W3BG
+2. started to remove old documents (g0vgs)
+27Mar03=======================================================================

1. added HC and QRZ.com to possible QSL locations, if you want to pick up
