+26Apr99=======================================================================
+1. added set/user command as a hack, please use this with care, there is
+very little checking.
+2. added export_opernam.pl which is a basic reader of AK1A opernam.dat files
+to stdout
+25Apr99=======================================================================
+1. Fixed problem with filtered spots not coming out.
+2. Added the possibility of filtering on channel callsign
+20Apr99=======================================================================
+1. altered order of undefing and closing of user file in an attempt to make
+corruptions/missing users less likely.
+2. made messages that are addressed to the node call appear to the alias call
+3. check dates much more rigourously.
+4. ignore SIGTERM and SIGINT during shutdown of the cluster
+15Mar99=======================================================================
+1. added $actiondata to filter line to allow per action data such as no of hops
+2. fixed a silly problem in talk for non-existant callsigns
+3. Added sysop command
+02Mar99========================================================================
+1. Changed DXUser so that it uses a homemade import/export hash routine
+2. DXUser now uses a DB_BTREE file
+3. Added export_users.pl, import_users.pl and convert_users.pl
+25Feb99========================================================================
+1. added NL language stuff.
+2. added set/language
+21Feb99========================================================================
+1. Allowed multiple 'on <freq>' for show/dx
+2. Made sure the 'on 20m/ssb' thing worked (also 'on hf/cw').
+3. first cut of the Filtering code, no user commands yet but the file
+format is defined and manually added filters should work for spots
+17Feb99========================================================================
+1. added export_user.pl to export user files (for interest and safety)
+2. changed DXUser::init to allow O_RDONLY access which may limit the number
+of coredumps G0RDI seems to get.
+15Feb99========================================================================
+1. Added msg forwarding code which uses $main::root/msg/forward.pl.
+14Feb99========================================================================
+1. Changed A & K in WWV to be the other way around (I am told by G3IOR that
+this will mean that we won't have pole to pole aurora nor all the power lines
+overloading everywhere as well as a result of having values of K > 10).
+2. allow the '~' character in message bodies.
+3. Moved $main::data/badmsg.pl to $main::root/msg/badmsg.pl.
+11Feb99========================================================================
+1. Fixed a problem with isolated nodes' configurations being sent on sending
+local configs to new connections.
+08Feb99========================================================================
+1. added a $SIG{ALRM} in the client to actually catch the alarm when it goes
+off which means that the netrom/ax25 call programs terminate properly (and not
+loop as fast as their little legs can paddle, soaking up CPU time).
+2. Implemented read receipts as an especial request from G4PDQ.
+3. Fiddled with DXUser a bit to see whether I can stop it core dumping on new
+users in PC16s on G0RDI's machine.
+4. Added E4 (Palestine) to Prefix data.
+30Jan99========================================================================
+1. Some of the dates we get can cause crashes, tried to make it more robust (oh
+and Y2K compliant)
+2. PC16 seem to come in with missing callsigns from somewhere
+3. added $main::data/baddx.pl which prevents callsigns that are in the list being
+a) forwarded b) stored and c) (except for the originator, if local) being
+displayed locally.
+4. added $main::data/badmsg.pl which deletes any messages whose TO address is
+in this list (this is largely for european sensibilities).
+18Jan99========================================================================
+1. added present(),presentish() and disconnect() to DXCron so that you can see
+(easily) if a station is on the cluster anywhere and also disconnect them
+locally.
+2. added rcmd() to DXCron so you can send an rcmd to someone else from crontab.
+3. <embarrassment>Fixed create_sysop.pl so that longitude is spelt correctly
+there as well</embarrassment> made the update work properly. NOTE create_sysop
+will only do what you expect if all cluster.pl and client.pl programs are
+stopped.
+4. DXCron wasn't reading in reliably on startup, this is now (hopefully) fixed.
+the -M semantics are rather strange!
+5. The -w switch is now standard on cluster.pl
+6. Added last_connect() which gives the last connect time of a user (or now
+if connected).
+7. Added present_on(call, node) and presentish_on(ditto) which returns true if
+the call is connected to the node.
+8. incoming messages for users will now send a 'new message' message (instead
+of merely generating the message)[who wrote this rubbish?].
+9. Hooked $SIG{__WARN__} and $SIG{__DIE__} so we store these nasty error
+messages.
+10. Print the no of users on restricted protocol links if we have had PC50
+11. Had a go at making the sh/cl stats more accurate.
+12. PC11 was trying to call Local::spot1 instead of Local::spot, no warning
+previously.
+13. Added a simple lockfile to prevent more than one cluster running at a time
+17Jan99========================================================================
+1. fixed some permission problems on DXLog.
+2. There is a circumstance in DXMsg which caused the cluster to stop on an
+null ref pointer which I can't get to the bottom of but have bandaided out
+for now.
+3. Started filter and Database code.
+4. Upper cased all the TO callsigns for sending to more than one station in
+messages.
+07Jan99========================================================================
+1. Fixed Geomag after emacs reformatted it wrong so sh/wwv works again.
+2. Added more range checking in WWV spots (they really are a heap of ...)
+3. Changed create_sysop.pl so that you can update as well as create the user
+file
+4. Remove spotter's SSID from WWV spots
+06Jan99========================================================================
+1. Do some range checking for spots and WWV in the future (got a WWV for Oct
+2034 whhich caused a bit of confusion!)
+2. Make WWV spots broadcast them to the users! (as opposed to merely storing
+them)(thank you G0RDI).
+3. Allow users to do show/announce (thank you JE1SGH).
+4. Delay broadcasts to users if they are not in a 'prompt' state (means you can
+add messages and see what you are doing on a busy system)
+5. Made set/unset dx,ann,wx,talk,wwv do what is expected
+6. added set/sys_location and set/set_qra to set the cluster lat/long and qra
+7. New messages will now be announced on logon (if there are any)
+03Jan99========================================================================
+1. Upped the version no !!!!
+2. made the DXProtocol routines much less sensitive to '~' characters (JE1SGH)
+3. added '^' -> ':' conversions on ann, talk and dx commands
+4. You can now send messages containing blank lines.
+5. Fixed merge command problem reported by G0RDI
+28Dec98========================================================================
+1. Crossed fingers, got rid of the instabilities caused by execing programs
+at vast speed (reduced it significantly anyway).
+2. Personals will now move if homenode is known.
+3. Added Local.pm for doing local specials
+27Dec98========================================================================
+1. Various detail changes to remove some more warning with -w on
+2. Added DXCron handling - you can do crontabs now.
+3. Added show/program command so you can see where it is loading your .pm files
+from.
+4. Added pc26/27 replies to locally connected cluster's merge (pc25) requests
+5. Added spotters DXCC and original cluster to Spot data files.
+23Dec98========================================================================
+1. Reindented various things
+2. Added missing $main::mycall on the end of outgoing PC11s (!)
+3. Check that PC16/17 node calls really are nodes (AFAIAC).
22Dec98========================================================================
1. Added brackets round callsign if not here for prompt
2. Added Iain's set/password routine
