+22Jan22=======================================================================
+1. Refine spot display to retain the ':' and also reduce the likelyhood of
+ of misalignment by using the available space in the 39 characters more
+ intelligently. This is WIP.
+21Jan22=======================================================================
+1. Fix version tracking in PC92
+2. Bring the major parts of master and mojo together to make maintenance a
+ bit less challenging. This does add anything extra to mojo, but it's still
+ quite a bit of work.
+18Jan22=======================================================================
+1. fix (un)set/registered.
+09Jan22=======================================================================
+1. Add the New Year CTY-3201 prefix data.
+08Jan22=======================================================================
+1. I don't think there are any more warnings...
+06Jan22=======================================================================
+1. Fix the last of any frequent warnings caused by yesterday's modifications.
+05Jan22=======================================================================
+1. Mark nodes that send PC92 K records as spider. These will include VE7CC
+ nodes. NOTE: there appear to be user records marked as user or other sorts
+ of node, which (now) are actually spider (compatible) nodes and will be
+ marked accordingly.
+2. Adjust nodes currently marked as spider nodes, but are sending versions
+ not in the spider range of versions on PC92 A records as AK1A.
+3. Try to undo some damage where users have been autocreated with similar
+ attributes as nodes (locked out with privilege set to 1). This will
+ slowly fix this problem over time, but see item 4 for a 'big bang'
+ approach.
+4. It has come to my attention that there are a large number of users (of
+ all sorts) that have incompatible SSIDs. See 03Jan22/4 for details.
+
+ These are now being scrubbed out of the users file and also will present
+ as their normalised selves. If a -0* SSID is encountered then, if the
+ normalised version of that call is not present, it will be renamed to
+ that normalised call. If the normalised version of that user record is
+ already present, the un-normalised user record (-0*) will be removed.
+5. Make export_users do a batch clean (as in 3. above) and also get rid of
+ (default) 12+ year old unaccessed user records and (default) 2+ year old
+ "empty" records (with no qra/latlog/qth or handle).
+
+ NOTE: if you do an manual export_users (as opposed to the automatic one
+ done once a week), do not be alarmed by the number of old (i.e. more than
+ 12 years old) callsigns that it will get rid of. In my case it was about
+ ~2/5th of the users file. Still left me with over 100,000 "active" users.
+
+ In you are a bit twitchy about this, the code will copy the current
+ user_json and user_json.ooooo to user_json.keep and user_json.backstop
+ respectively. These files will never be overwritten unless you remove one
+ or both, when they will be regenerated on the next export_user.
+04Jan22=======================================================================
+1. Fix issue in the RBN (and probably other places) with callsigns that
+ contain trailing / in callsigns like: OH0K/6, K2PO/7 etc.
+2. Regard strange callsigns like DR4W-HB (seen in skimmer spots) as invalid.
+ This *should be* something like HB9/DR4W or (spit) DR4W/HB9.
+3. Fix the (probably) spurious locking out of users that are unknown to this
+ node, that come in from other nodes. These create new user records which
+ where then automatically locked.
+03Jan22=======================================================================
+1. Allow overrides (on modern versions of perl) with things in DXVars.pm, such
+ $clusterport. This is really only of use for people trying to run more than
+ one instance of DXSpider on the same machine.
+2. Fix who command to make RBN connections as RBN and not USER.
+3. Prevent other nodes claiming that $myalias or $mycall is a different type
+ (user or node) from changing our route table and thence the user type.
+4. Normalise callsigns of incoming connections to G1TST if G1TST-0 or G1TST-00
+ amd G1TST-2 if G1TST-02. There are 800+ instances of callsigns with extra
+ 0 characters in the SSID in my users file. Allow SSIDs up to 99.
+02Jan22=======================================================================
+1. Fix dx bug introduced to handle dx by ip <ipaddr> for webclusters.
+2. Remove _add_thingy dbg message from general view.
+3. Increase sh/ann cache to 130 to cope with some client programs' profligate
+ need to fill their users' screens with needless erm... data.
+01Jan22=======================================================================
+1. Fixed missing ';' in spoof
+30Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Try to fix (nuke) tabs in comment field.
+28Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Fix issues with wwv & wcy updates into the cache.
+2. Add a simple sh/announce cache to stop spawning when used (especially) in
+ a script.
+27Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Fix "kwalitee control" issue in /spider/cmd/dx.pl.
+2. Make sh/wcy and sh/wwv cacheble for simple queries.
+3. Fix set/nodxxxxxx etc.
+22Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Add the possibility to do "sender verify" that spots (and later on, other
+ things like announce etc) are coming from spotters that exist on the node
+ that the PC11/61 says it does. At the moment, this is advisory as many
+ users seem to be on web clusters and many of them do not send PC61 and also
+ don't update the node's routing tables that normal node usage would do.
+2. Prioritise PC61 spots over PC11 spots wherever possible. Also promote PC11
+ spots to PC61 where the spotter's IP is known.
+3. Add a shell script "perlbrew-dxspider" that can be used for starting the
+ node when using perlbrew (i.e. more modern perls) on older distros such
+ as Centos 7/8.
+4. Allow to "dx by <spotter> ip <ip address> <qrg> <spot call> <comment>.
+ This is added as a convenience measure for webcluster authors while waiting
+ for the internal websocket interface (or because they cannot use that).
+ This can only be used by suitably privileged users.
+ This likely to be a temporary measure and will be immediately withdrawn if
+ there is any sign of abuse.
+11Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Removed dependency on perl Git package.
+2. Force code to change directory to $DXSPIDER_ROOT || '/spider'. Also force
+ git -C $root describe.
+3. Change git commands AGAIN to work on old perls (which mojo won't work on,
+ but it makes my life easier).
+4. Change version strings to include the perl version in use.
+10Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Fix the output of set/dxgrid, set/usstate and set/dxcq or set/dxitu to how
+ it was always supposed to be since 2003.
+09Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Moved isregistered to DXChannel for safety...
+08Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Get to the bottom of why ssid'd calls were using the base call's
+ credentials. This should now work as expected.
+06Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Improve console.pl scrolling. Split long lines (eg on announcements.
+04Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Fix illogicalities in USDB creations and make sure that O_CREAT on tie does
+ NOT encounter an existing file to barf about. Even though it shouldn't.
+ Thanks Howard WB3FFV.
+2. Fixed a typo in show/registered that prevents a list of callsigns being
+ searched for. Got rid of some over complex code. Thanks Fabrizio iZ0UIN.
+3. Fix long line wrapping in console.pl
+03Dec21=======================================================================
+1. Move motd and issue files to local_data if not already there.
+30Nov21=======================================================================
+1. Fix sh/dx with callsigns that have /p or VE/G1TLH in them.
+2. Add unset/ak1a, unset/arcluster aliases and some minimal help for UNSET/
+ SPIDER, NODE, ARCLUSTER, AKIA and also SET/USER.
+26Nov21=======================================================================
+1. *Really* change spot display format and sh/dx format "back the way they
+ were. But They won't stay that way for long!!!! There are four (yes, count
+ them) completely unused spaces at the end of the line!!!!
+25Nov21=======================================================================
+1. Restored spot format back to the way it was.
+2. Added CTY-3127 prefixes
+24Nov21=======================================================================
+1. Make /spider/perl/create_sysop.pl work on a base git cloned tree.
+2. Add /spider/local /spider/local_cmd /spider/local_data to git.
+3. Make user supplied console width (set/width) sticky.
+19Nov21=======================================================================
+1. Add the ability of console.pl to resize and have dx spots also resize so
+ that the comment field's size will increase accordingly. Sh/dx amd sh/mydx
+ also work similarly. If you make the console width smaller or wider then
+ spots already on the screen will not resize.
+2. For client programs that parse the output (why? use set/ve7cc to get more
+ easily machine parsed output), a new command "set/width <width>" is
+ available.
+18Nov21=======================================================================
+1. Add a dx spot cache which will store 2 days worth (configurable) of spots.
+ This is then used by the vast majority of simple sh/dx queries without
+ using a sub process. A simple sh/dx is any sh/dx that does not have an
+ "expression" such as "sh/dx g1tlh". So "sh/dx", "sh/dx 200", "sh/mydx" will
+ always run in the main program via the cache. Certain client programs (no
+ names, no pack drill) will notice the difference immediately. It's also a
+ bit snappier.
+2. set/badspotter or set/badnode will work for RBN input.
+3. RBN input with invalid QRGs will be dropped with a nice friendly message
+ rather than a scary exception message about multiplication thrown by one
+ of the libraries that I use.
+4. Added CTY-3126 prefixes.
+5. Silently ignore self spotting below 1240000Khz (change
+ $Spot::minselfspot to 0 to disable or some other freq in Khz). NOTE this
+ will appear as a spot to the spotter's feed, but will not be passed on.
+15Jul21=======================================================================
+1. Fix long standing bug in crontabs that commands with " rather than ' around
+ strings could cause those commands not to work.
+2. Add CTY 3117 prefixes.
+15Mar21=======================================================================
+1. Fix DXUtil::localdata so that it does actually prefer the latest version
+ of a file regardless of whether it is in /spider/data or /spider/localdata.
+2. Add CTY-3105 prefixes.
+05Mar21=======================================================================
+1. Fix DXCron::spawn_cmd so that more than one spawn_cmd can be active at a
+ time. This affects many nodes where lots of regular spawn_cmds happen at
+ a time and this prevented crucial things like 'start_connect' from working!
+2. Sort user lockout issues to cope with all likely scenarios - including
+ "phantom" SSID working.
+3. Fix "close_gracefully" error messages which are useless, but benign. These
+ happen (mainly) when outgoing connects timeout.
+24Feb21=======================================================================
+1. modify RBN timing arrangements
+
+ There are two new twiddle pots:
+
+ $limbotime (default 5*60 secs) which allows potential spots to
+ hang around longer to allow $minqual *different* skimmers to spot
+ them. At which point they are emitted. This is to catch the "slow
+ burning" spots where a call is spotted by different skimmers but
+ separated in time by more than $dwelltime - in fact maybe by
+ minutes.
+
+ $maxqual (default 9 skimmers) which short circuits the normal
+ hard maximum $quality (9 skimmer spots) and $dwelltime (10secs)
+ to allow a spot that has $maxqual *different* skimmers (usually
+ as the result of a burst from the RBN) to defeat $dwelltime and
+ be emitted the moment that condition is satisfied. There maybe
+ a better name for this.
+21Feb21=======================================================================
+1. add data section on 160m in bands.pl.
+07Sep20=======================================================================
+1, Change interface to watchdbg & grepdbg slightly so that multiple search
+ regexes are ANDed rather than ORed together. ORing is easily achieved
+ already by the usual regex pattern 'PATT..|PATT..|..' whereas ANDing could
+ not be done as easily without resorting lots of 'PATT.*PATH' things which
+ would not necessarily get what was wanted.
+2. Make sure that the pc92 C record only contains nodes and users and not
+ other extranoeus things like skimmers...
+15Aug20=======================================================================
+1. Simplify the skimmer scoring mechanism.
+13Aug20=======================================================================
+1. Improve the (displayed) RBN frequency weighting the skimmers' frequencies
+ w.r.t majority view on each spot. Any skimmer that disagrees with a
+ gets docked a 'point' from their 'good' score (if any) and have a 'point'
+ added to their 'bad' score. This score is then taked into account during
+ the 'choosing the real frequency' process. If a skimmer agrees with the
+ majority the process is reversed. To see this in action: set/deb rbnskim
+06Aug20=======================================================================
+1, Add CTY-3013 Prefixes
+2. Make RBN more efficient. Start the process of skimmer node performance
+ caching. Add minimum quality allowed (at 2), which will be overrideable.
+ The format of the rbn_cache has changed and so a full restart will occur.
+3. Collect channel input/output stats. New command: show/data_stats to show
+ them.
+4. Add local::lib qw{/spider/perl5lib} to store cpanm loaded modules just for
+ DXSpider. This is done so that updates needed by future changes can be done
+ as the sysop user and doesn't have to be done as root. This paves the way
+ for UPDATE.pl which will pull down new modules that it needs automatically.
+ When it's written, which will be soon.
+29Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Add show/rbn command that allows one to see who is online and configured
+ for RBN. See help sh/rbn for details.
+2. Fixed issue with set/ve7cc mode adding unwanted newlines to output.
+3. Attempted to make the QRG normalisation more "intelligent". This would be
+ sooooooooo much easier if skimmers were calibrated more accurately.
+4. Added CTY-3012 prefixes.
+23Jul20=======================================================================
+1. fix Filtering so that it does less of what it was doing badly, thus
+ the perl interpreter to do more of the work. Which means you *should* be
+ able to define more or less any allowable operation for that type of
+ filter. Which is a complicated way of saying: you can now use brackets.
+2. Regex expressions now appear as readable text in sh/filter.
+3. Make the RBN status file JSON, rather than DD format. In future versions
+ it will also be VERSIONed to enable more features to be added
+ transparently.
+4. Add show/rbn command to allow sysops to see who is using rbn.
+11Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Fix (embarrassing) gratuitous '#'s in bands.pl
+2. IMPORTANT: certain PC92 strings can crash DXSpider if the nologchan debug
+ category is set (which reduces debug files to sizes that non-developers can
+ reasonably store (especially during big contests)),
+10Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Fix console.pl permissions problem when running as another user not in
+ debug mode. Console.pl WILL NOT WORK in debug mode unless it is running
+ as the sysop user.
+08Jul20=======================================================================
+1. "Finish" the RBN system :-)
+2. This includes enabling the coarse selection of spot modes using set/wantrbn
+ with arguments like 'set/wantrbn cw beacon'. This limits your output to
+ just CW, BCN and DXF modes.
+3. The RBN spot is now cached. With a following wind, this means that even a
+ node restart, done in a timely fashion (within a few minutes) will not
+ cause a "cache warmup" delay for users on a restart.
+4. Added the "full fat" set/wantrbn command and aliased it to 'set/skimmer'.
+ I use both terms (whenever I remembered) in the help text.
+5. Help text has been written.
+6. The UPGRADE.mojo file has been tweeked to point out the users file format
+ change.
+7. Merge in users.v3j to the mojo branch.
+8. Add CTY-3011 prefixes.
+07Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Fix show/node command.
+2. Fix show/cluster command to take into account the presence of skimmer nodes
+ which are a new category of thing which is neither a node nor a user.
+06Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Add RBN.mojo with information of the RBN capabilities of DXSpider.
+05Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Fix show/dxcc.
+2. Add HAPROXY "real ip" type 1 handling for incoming connections.
+04Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Give console.pl (or dx) a good going over with a bog brush to *finally*
+ (cough) make it work correctly with a full 80 column window (and not just
+ to a width of 79 really). Also fix scrolling.
+28Jun20=======================================================================
+1. Merge mojo with users.v3j to remove all vestages of Storable from DXSpider
+ in an effort to make the whole storage thing more reliable (and also a
+ bit faster). The user file will be auto-upgraded on restart. This may take
+ up to 20 seconds on slower hardware (and maybe a bit longer on huge user
+ files). On my 180,000 odd users, on my hardware, it takes 4 seconds.
+2. The DXQSL system storage is also upgraded, Please run
+ /spider/perl/create_dxqsl.pl in a spare shell. This will recreate the
+ dxqsl.v1j file. Run 'load/dxqsl' in the console to activate it.
+17Jun20=======================================================================
+1. Change the Spot file reading mechanism back to the default of using 'tac'.
+08Jun20=======================================================================
+1. Fix show/mydx (lack of) filtering bug.
+2. Add qra locator to prefix_data.pl.
+3. Add 4 digit qra square for spotted callsign if show/dxgrid is enabled.
+4. Fix general filtering bug where erroneous input causes crashing.
+03Jun20=======================================================================
+1. Make sure that all possible regexes get passed across to the search engine.
+2. Fix out of order logging on sh/log queries spanning more than one month.
+3. Do not read backwards on sh/dx, reading forwards seems a 1/3 quicker.
+4. Add <ms>, <tr> and <es> shortcuts to sh/dx (e.g sh/dx <tr> on 2m).
+02Jun20=======================================================================
+1. Fix the small whoopsie in sh/dx.
+01Jun20=======================================================================
+1. Fix sh/dx iota and qra. This completes the conversion of sh/dx's limited
+ "old style" parsing to using Filter style parsing with something that
+ allows expressions include brackets ( and ) as well as the 'not' keyword.
+ NOTE: the precedence rules are the same as perl's '!', '||' and '&&'
+ operators.
+31May20=======================================================================
+1. Improve links command layout slightly.
+2. Issue an *accurate* UPGRADE.mojo with all the new packages included!
+3. Fix issue with sh/dx
+30May20=======================================================================
+1. Fix sh/dx! It appears that there is a long standing problem with sh/dx not
+ actually return all the answers it should. I have also had a request to
+ allow / enable the "not" keyword (just like the filtering system dones).
+
+ Now this was one of the earliest modules that I wrote and it took quite
+ a bit of work to tease out the important bits and then use the Filter
+ module (as in acc/spot) to generate the sh/dx filtering expressions. This
+ seems to have been done.
+
+ NB This will likely not work if you are using a SQL backend to do sh/dx
+ commands. This was never actually an official feature. It is now
+ deprecated.
+29May20=======================================================================
+1. Please install Math::Round and Data::Structure::Util. Instructions are
+ available in UPGRADE.mojo.
+2. ** Withdrawn ** user file format change to json not yet committed.
+20May20=======================================================================
+1. Backport convert-users-v3-to-v4.pl to allow creation of the new json
+ formatted *text* based user file from the old v3 DB_File and Storable
+ version. This can be done either online (with the node running) or offline
+ with the node stopped. This is in preparation for the next update of the
+ mojo branch. Running this program just *BEFORE* doing your next update of
+ the mojo branch *should* ensure a seemless transition to the Storable &
+ DB_File free version of the users file.
+2. Show git branch in show/version.
+3. Add CTY-3010 changes.
+17May20=======================================================================
+1. Backport DXSubprocess to change serialisations.
+ Currently the internals of Mojo::IOLoop::Subprocess defaults to
+ using Storeable as its cross-process argument and data serialisaion
+ method. It can use others. This update reverts back to the
+ original ForkCall method of using JSON.
+10May20=======================================================================
+1. Added basic changes so that users *could* have multiple connections to the
+ same node if it is allowed. This is work in progress and is there to see
+ if it deals with some networking problems encountered on very high volume
+ sites which can see more than 1000 users (although the problems can occur
+ with many hundreds or by the practices of certain ISPs). More information
+ will be forthcoming if I get to the bottom of what's REALLY going on and
+ whether this is (or maybe just one part of) the solution. It won't be
+ ready for general use until then.
+2. Fixed the script import error reported by Joaquin (EA3CV?), by the simple
+ expedient of restoring the version from the master branch.
+09May20=======================================================================
+1. Show the route by which this PCxx came in progress debugging reports. In
+ some other words: the spot/wwv/wcy/ann message arrived first from this
+ connection.
+2. Improve progress WWV & WCY messages.
+3. Stop random node isolations (at least in one place)
+08May20=======================================================================
+1. Tidy up routing table
+2. Add new argument to show/version (ALL or list of regexes) that allow you
+ to see the version and build nos of all nodes on the system.
+07May20=======================================================================
+1. Revert changes made since 25Apr concerning IP address reconciliation.
+25Apr20=======================================================================
+1. Add maximum no of users on node to show/cluster.
+2. Add ability to show last n lines of debugging ring buffer.
+3. Remove redundant wpxloc.dat file.
+24Apr20=======================================================================
+1. Add 'progress' debugging for showing that stuff is happening in nologchan
+ a.k.a ringbuffer only mode.
+2. Fix grepdbg so that no regex argument simply lists the file.
+3. Add CTY-3008 prefixes.
+22Apr20=======================================================================
+1. Fix the module search path in update_sysop.pl
+2. Add latest prefixes CTY-3007
+3. Fix unset/startup command. This will only work for users' start up scripts
+ things like user_default or startup must be edited or removed by hand.
+21Apr20=======================================================================
+1. Finally fix the "actually tranmit" any output (like from 'logout' files)
+ to users before disconnecting. This also means that disconnecting nodes
+ now receive the (totally redundant, but hey) PC39 reason for disconnection.
+20Apr20=======================================================================
+1. Speed up sh/log (including chat, rcmd, ann etc) that search the system
+ log files, by removing a completely redundant subsystem and also leveraging
+ the core operating system utility 'tac', if it's available.
+19Apr20=======================================================================
+1. The long haul that is the mojo branch has started up again. It's something
+ to do during this lockdown.
+2. The problems and instabilities around running commands that worked in
+ forked processes, when used other than by normally logged in users (e.g.
+ in the local crontab), have been fixed.
+3. If a /spider/local_data/logout file is present then its contents will be
+ sent to the user on logout.
+4. Add the ability to sh/dx origin or ip (address).
+5. Retire the use of the deprecated Mojo::IOLoop::ForkCall in favour of using
+ the supported equivalent in Mojolicious 7.26 and above. Which means you
+ will need to upgrade Mojo to at least the version. The current version is
+ 8.36 and is known to work.
+10Sep19=======================================================================
+1. Improve DXSql database filtering to exclude most via <locator> type
+ reports.
+2. Add CTY-2913 prefixes + wpxloc.raw

+22Nov16=======================================================================
+1. Add CTY-2614 prefixes
+21Nov16=======================================================================
+1. Add CTY-2613 prefixes
+17Nov16=======================================================================
+1. Change method (again) of get processor seconds in cmd/mrtg.pl. Split out
+ main process from children and display each separately.
+16Nov16=======================================================================
+1. Change method of get processor seconds in cmd/mrtg.pl
+18Aug16=======================================================================
+1. Add CTY-2610
+2. put back msg total in & total out for mrtg and background mrtg
+3. add dxcc == ADIF country code.
+16Aug16=======================================================================
+1. Mega change to push all local data in $root/local_data and where there
+ is duplication with system data (still in $root/data) then use whichever
+ is newer. This will move stuff (permanently) like spots and other DXLog
+ files to local_data as well as the userfile, DX QSL file and usdb stuff.
+25Jul16=======================================================================
+1. Add some timing stats to cmd spawn_cmd.
+08Jul16=======================================================================
+1. Add latest wpxloc.raw
+2. Add CTY-2609
+28Mar16=======================================================================
