+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/columns <width>" is
+ 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.
