v0.91.5		18-Feb-2007

		With this version de default internal character encoding is
		UTF-8. BBS users who have a UTF-8 terminal can use the bbs in
		UTF-8 mode and should have no troubles at all reading and
		writing messages in several language encodings.

	upgrade:
		In all macro files html.* change the charset to UTF-8.
		If you still have all default macro files thein in the source
		directory mbsebbs/examples simply run "make macros" to install
		the updated versions.
		Run "mbfile index -f " once to regenerate all download html
		index pages with UTF-8 encoding. Check the error.log for
		errors.
		In mbsetup menu 1.3.7 change logo.asc into logo.ans and make
		sure you have that file. A note about the logo file, it will
		be displayed before we know if a user ahs a utf-8 or ansi
		terminal, so change your logo screen so that it has no ansi
		grafics, just plain ascii with ansi color codes.
		Start and leave mbsetup, this will upgrade the newfiles
		reports to set a defaults CHRS kludge CP437 2 which is good
		for reports with ANSI blockgraphics.

	mbselib:
		Fixed a too low memory allocation in clencode.

	mbsebbs:
		Added terminal setting UTF-8.
		Removed setting ANSI/Textmode, allways graphic now.
		All *.asc textfiles are now obsolete, only *.ans are valid.
		Display ansi file converts to UTF-8 if the user has UTF-8.
		Email and FTN mail reading now translates to the users
		characterset using glibc iconv.
		Changed menus lastcallers, whoson, userlist, pinfo, fsedit,
		timestats, filelist to output UTF-8 code if the user has set
		that terminal setting.

	mbfile:
		The index command produces UTF-8 webpages.

	mbfido:
		The make web stat produces UTF-8 webpages.

	mbaff:
		For each newfile report there is now a CHRS kludge setting.
		Reports will be converted to the selected charset. Origin
		characterset is CP437 for now.

	mball:
		Now also creates allfiles.utf and newfiles.utf with UTF-8
		encoded text. Noth new files will also be added to the zip
		archives.

	mbnntp:
		Reading news outputs UTF-8 coded articles.
		TODO: test posting and fix if needed.

	mbtask:
		Fixed a too low memory allocation in clencode.

	mbsetup:
		In newfiles reports the Hi-ASCII setting is gone and a CHRS
		kludge selection is added. Defaults to CP437 2.

	lang:
		Language prompts 44, 75 and 76 are obsolete.

	examples:
		Upgraded the html macro templates to produce UTF-8 web pages.



v0.91.4		17-Feb-2007 - 18-Feb-2007

	upgrade:
		Because some directories will be moved, a special upgrade
		procedure is needed. Take the following steps:
		1. Don't install the new source yet and make a backup!
		2. In the source topdir run "make clean".
		3. Install the new source.
		4. Build new source, "./configure" and "make".
		5. Run "./mbsetup/mbsetup", enter global setup and leave with
		   save. this should move all your existing language files to
		   the new directory structure.
		6. "su", run "make install" and restart the bbs.
		7. "exit".
		If you didn't do steps 1 and 2 (automatic updates) and you
		installed the source over the old source you have some
		extra files in the lang subdir of the source. No big deal.
		If you didn't run steps 5 then the new language paths have
		the default files from source and not your own. Your own files
		are then still under ~/english/*.* ~/dutch/*.* etc. Move the
		contents of these subdirs into ~/share/int/menus/en/* etc.

	mbselib:
		Moved default language paths into ~/share/int

	mbsebbs:
		Moved default language paths into ~/share/int

	mbsetup:
		Moved default language paths into ~/share/int

	mbtask:
		Moved default language paths into ~/share/int

	lang:
		Renamed language files and changed installation paths.


v0.91.3		11-Feb-2007 - 17-Feb-2007

	mbselib:
		Added coding and decoding to strings that are processed by the
		diesel macroprocessor.  EXPERIMENTAL IS UNDER TEST !!!
		Fixed a compile warning in the diesel code.

	mbuser:
		Set default editor on erased records.

	mbfile:
		The check filebase command now also removes dead symlinks from
		the download directories.

	mbfido:
		Don't crash on empty ticfiles.
		Fixed log message for scanned netmail.

	mbtask:
		Some code cleanup.
		Fixed s SIGBUS on Sparc/NetBSD systems.

	mbsebbs:
		Some debuglog cleanup.

		complain.

        upgrade:
                Start mbsetup once and leave, this will update user records

		needed and upgrades the nodes settings.
                Add extra switches to unarchiver commands entry 11, see
                mbsetup for the archivers.

                joe editor can use that.
                Changed zmodem transmitter timeout to 60 seconds and changed
                the zmodem init fase so that clients that don't start automatic
                have a chance to start the transfer.
