$Id$


v0.37.9		17-Sep-2003

	mbsebbs:
		Made menus work on non-intel platforms.

	mbsetup:
		Made menus editor work on non-intel platforms.

	script:
		Fixed debian init script to allow it to run over the network.

	examples:
		Updated Spaning and English chat menu to use the internal
		chatserver.


v0.37.8		14-Sep-2003 - 17-Sep-2003

	general:
		This version is issued to prepare for a stable release.

	common.a:
		Added a set of general purpose timers.

	mbcico:
		Session handshake and EMSI handshake use the general purpose
		timers instead of the ttyio timers. This should prevent invalid
		timeouts during zmodem transfers. (bug since 0.37.6).
		Compiled IEMSI code back in, starts mblogin which is not IEMSI
		ready yet.


v0.37.7		09-Sep-2003 - 14-09-2003

	upgrade:
		A bit tricky to upgrade and start using the new debug logfile,
		follow the next steps exactly!!
		1.  Download and install the source
		2.  Run "./configure"
		3.  Run "make" (and do not install yet)
		4.  Run "mbstat close"
		5.  Backup /opt/mbse/bin and /opt/mbse/etc.
		6.  Run "mbstat close"
		7.  Kill mbtask, mostly "kill `/sbin/pidoff mbtask`" will do.
		8.  Run (as root) "make install" to install the new software.
		9.  Make sure you are user mbse again.
		10. Start mbtask manual, "mbtask"
		11. Run "mbsetup", enter menu 1, exit, save and close.
		12. Wait one minute.
		13. Run "mbstat open"
		After this is done the first time, restarting mbtask can be
		done as usual by running the mbsed init script. If something
		doesn't work (you get socket errors), it is important that you
		kill mbtask during software versions swap. All software must
		be of the same build.

	general:
		Debug logging is now in a separate file, the normal logging is
		now only in the normal logfiles.

	msgbase.a:
		Moved messages link from mbmsg program into library.

	mbcico:
		Fixed MB state error from the previous version.
		Rewrote another part of the binkp driver, initializing the
		options.
		If doesn't do Multiple Batch mode anymore against binkp/1.1
		mailers.
		File resync during receive finally works.
		In binkp we don't send a empty dataframe after a file anymore.

	mbtask:
		Added support for debug logfile. Dropped the debug switch for
		mbtask logging, this is now allways on.

	mbsetup:
		Added support for debug logging in menu 1.3 and removed the
		mbtask debug switch from menu 18.
		Import and purge oneliners now log what is done.

	mbmsg:
		Moved message linking to msgbase library.

	mbsebbs:
		When a message is saved, the messages in that area are linked.

	mbfido:
		When mails are scanned for export via ftn and one of the from,
		to or subject lines are too long, the export is cancelled.


v0.37.6		10-Aug-2003 - 09-Sep-2003

	general:
		Changed all Linux references into GNU/Linux.
		Changed the address of the FSF in all sources.
		Removed memwatch debugger.
		Changed all gif and jpg images to png images.
		Added a setup switch for the nodes for selecting the wrong
		binkp long filenames escape method for Argus and Irex nodes.
		Activated the productcode for mbse that is published in the
		ftscprod.007
		Changed the website address in several sources.

	libmsgbase.a:
		Resolved a buffer overflow problem with kludges larger then
		512 bytes.

	nodelist.a:
		Removed some of the debug logging.

	mbcico:
		Completly changed the files inbound receive, all files are now
		first stored in a unique per node temporary inbound directory.
		Only after a successfull session all received files are moved
		to the final inbound directory. Hopefully this will solve the
		resync problems.
		The other goodie is that this is more safe on busy multiline
		systems.
		Fixed the binkp escape sequence which is wrong in the FSP, this
		is selectable in the nodes setup.
		A light improvement in session handshake setup timers.
		Added EMSI handshake timers, this gives a more relaxed EMSI
		handshake.
		Set the EMSI receive failure count to 20 instead of 6, we can
		now even accept buggy maindoor sessions and still display a
		banner.
		For FTS-0001 sessions the mail password was used instead of the
		session password. Also improved the password check.
		The product code was not entered in the FTS-0001 packet headers.
		The binkp driver now always reports 1.0 again.
		Revised some state tables in the binkp session setup stage.
		Fixed a possible buffer overflow in the binkp driver.
		Fixed aborting binkp session when the remote sent a empty CRAM
		password for unprotected session.

	mbfido:
		The rfc to ftn gate now drops the headerlines starting with
		X-Spam- because they are only filled with advertisents and are
		very large (upto 1200 bytes which is somewhat larger for a
		fidonet kludge).

	mbsetup:
		In the nodes setup a switch is added to fallback to the wrong
		binkp escape method.

		Spanish templates and macros added to the examples.
		In several messages handling functions the international

		will be replaced by standard library functions. Right now the
		messages are 8 bit clean and there is no translation on the
		gateway. The maptabs are removed.

	nodelist.a:
		Added experimental support for IP nodes lookup using a default
		domain method. This is not the final implementation yet!
		Update, this works now as described in a FSP-xxxx that is in
		discussion in the FTSC. This will also work for current
		practice.

	common.a:
		Removed charset conversion/translation.
		Added integer endian byteorder swapper, usefull for non-Intel
		hardware.

		each outbound scan and was causing mbtask to stop functioning
		after a few days.
		After forking the daemon, the stdin, stdout and stderr are
		reopend to /dev/null.
		Zero the daily status counters finally works again.
		Added experimental code where tossing mail is not started as

		bbs id is not set in the global setup.
		When a reply is made on a message in a area which allows
		aliases, the user is asked to use his alias.
		When a reply is made on a message in a newsgroup and your
		systems has a permanent mail domain the email address is used
		as from name.

		have the filename of the area tag. Normal users can only export
		to their private directory. Sysops: now you can start 
		collecting area rules!

	upgrade:
		In mbsetup 1.17.3 check if you have the XX,CM,IBN,IFC flags,
		which indicates your TCP/IP capabilities. This is only for
		systems that use TCP/IP, dialup systems should only have
		the XX,CM flags. Important: only protocols that you place
		in this entry are supported, so XX,CM,IBN will let your system
		only call binkp nodes.

	general:
		A new developer/translator joined the team, David Gonzalez.
		The settings to suppres some IP protocols (global and nodes)
		are removed, this behaviour must be set using nodelist flags 
		configuration.
		Debug logging for mail and news now have one setting, the M.
		Nodelist debug logging now uses the N character.
		In some makefiles the chown user.group syntax changed to
		user:group to follow the new POSIX syntax. Please let me know
		if you are using an older distribution that complains about
		this. This was needed for FreeBSD 4.7.
		Added Dutch template macro files. Updated English and German
		template macro files. Please remove old ones before installing.

	libs:
		The nodelist lookup functions are now in a separate library.
		This will give us easy implemtation of new nodelist formats
		and flags.
		Introduced a new file, ~/etc/nodelist.conf, this file will
		be used for nodelist lookup behaviour.
		The current looked-up nodelist strcuture has an extra field,
		the URL how that node must be contacted.

	mbcico:
		With binkp and EMSI sessions double received remote aka's are
		filtered.
		When calling ITN nodes, the default port is now 23.

		When a poll was removed, the outbound was not rescanned.

	examples:
		Prepared for more example translations.

		Echomail from other zones showed the address of your own zone.
		Added logging when other errors are found.
		At zonegates, the seenby lines were twice stripped.
		Another patch to compensate for sysops that pack pascalnet
		files in fidonet packets and send these messages into the world
		without zone information.
		Made the incoming tic files complete case insensitive, mixed
		case is now processed. If such file is received, the LFN will
		be set to that name.
		The magic unpack command now uses the mail unpack command
		instead of file unpack command so that paths in the archive are
		junked.

	mbsebbs:
		Changed to use the new nodelist lookup methods.

	mbsetup:
		Removed global flags No-IBN, IFC and ITN from the setup.
		Removed nodes flags No-IBN, IFC and ITN from the setup.
		removed del/rubout/bs keys logging.

	SETUP.sh
		Made the script more portable.

	CRON.sh
