+03Sep01=======================================================================
+1. make spot dups look back 5 mins.
+2. strip the top off each character in any text field of a Spot for duping.
+3. Try to make the routing tables more accurate for users that login to
+more than one node.
+4. Make PC50s come out in one heap on all channels every 14 mins, instead of
+on the 14th minute in the connection time for each channel. This should
+reduce (slightly) the dups that are dumped.
+5. Speed up input queue processing (a lot).
+6. make set/isolate and acc/route mutually exclusive (and issue appropriate
+error messages).
+7. Improve stat/route_node and stat/route_user for diagnostics.
+8. strip top bit of comments in ann/spots.
+9. fix the announce filtering problem.
+01Sep01=======================================================================
+1. Change build number calc (hopefully for the last time)
+27Aug01=======================================================================
+1. make rej/wwv and rej/wcy work
+26Aug01=======================================================================
+1. make all newly learned nodes locked out by default.
+2. add lock_nodes.pl which locks out all the nodes in the user file whose
+privilege is 1 or less and which isn't mentioned as an argument to the
+command on the command line.
+3. make set/node, set/spider and their friends unlock a node as well as make
+them one.
+4. Make sh/log et al more efficient / less memory hungry (and the display
+the correct way round!)
+24Aug01=======================================================================
+1. Allow badmsg to reject on interface callsign ('I')
+20Aug01=======================================================================
+1. protect against PC41s with field[3] == field[2]
+2. Redo Julian stuff as proper objects
+3. Make the various Log display come out forwards instead of backwards
+4. Add the dbgclean routine to system cron to clear out all debug files
+more then 10 days old.
+19Aug01=======================================================================
+1. Fix rcmds
+2. make isolation when there are no filters present work again?
+3. dup check PC16/17/19/21 !
+17Aug01=======================================================================
+1. Sort out PC41 handling to include type 5 records for QRA locators and also
+remove all filtering (but retain ephemeral dup checking).
+2. Improve format checking in latlong and qra locators.
+3. Sort sh/st so that sh/st by itself displays only the local call not the
+whole lot (all 17000+ users records in my case). SH/ST ALL does this.
+16Aug01=======================================================================
+1. send a forward/opernam for a logged in user once a month (when they next
+login).
+2. rearrange rcmd stuff to be more maintainable and also be certain that
+they are translated in both directions correctly for clx and ak1a style.
+3. Allow PC41s to be propagated and hope that the ephemeral dup filters
+do their job!

+1. changes to manuals to add links etc. (g0vgs)
+23Jul01=======================================================================
+1. made ann,dx spots,wwv,wcy,wx more 'object oriented'.

+script
+3. Added input route filtering
+4. put back the set/isolate logic into routing which is now overridable with
+filters whcih means a default filter is no longer generated. If you want the
+OLD behaviour, do rm /spider/filter/route/*.pl*, restart and try again.
+5. Add http_proxy to Internet.pm and allow sh/qrz to use an HTTP Proxy
+13Jun01=======================================================================

+2. more work on Routing code.
+3. status/msg on its own will print the status of the msg system.

+if you have more than one of them. Sigh..
+02May01=======================================================================
+1. put an upper limit on the number of concurrent errors allowed in command
+mode (20). This should disconnect runaway spot suckers....
+28Apr01=======================================================================
+1. fix an occasional problem with 'sorry connected to' messages
+23Apr01=======================================================================
+1. fix very long standing bug in storing and transmitting spots. The decimal
+point was left off :-(
+22Apr01=======================================================================
+1. Sysops can now have full privileges if there is a ExtMsg listener on
+localhost (or everything) and they telnet to localhost and login with their
+callsign. This means that they don't need a client anymore (for local access)
+2. added input spot filtering.
+3. Added run_cmd to DXCron which allows you to run any command on the system
+from the crontab. (Dunno why I didn't do this before).

+regardless of whatever else you might have in the directory.
+3. made shortcut at shutdown so that you don't get a storm of PC21s on busy
+nodes as each connection goes down. Just send a pc39 to each interface and
+nothing else.
+4. changed action of SIG{INT} and SIG{TERM} so that they now work on MSWin32
10Apr01=======================================================================
1. altered PC21 logic somewhat to eliminate dup PC21s
2. disconnect should remove dangling local users in the routing table.
3. fixed nasty recursive timer bug
4. added some extra info to make connect tracking a bit easier.
+5. improved docs on connect scripts a bit (to include agw connects)
