$Id$

	WARNING, users of Sparc and HP-PA systems should be carefull, some
	menus do not work.
	All other users on Intel machines (99,9% I think) can use this version.


v0.37.4		10-May-2003

	general:
		Added check for inconv.h in configure script for UNIX98 
		character set conversion.

	common.a:
		The getheader function changed to support stone-age .pkt's.
		If the packet year has a Y2K bug, the year is fixed. This is
		only cosmetic for logging.
		If the zone info is missing, the zone is guessed from 2d aka
		matching against the system aka's. Then all mail in the .pkt
		file is also assumed to be in that zone if there is no zone
		info in the messages also.
		Guess what, these packets do still exist in Fidonet, it took
		5 years to find them! If you want to check, call 5:5/0

	mbcico:
		The binkp transmitter does now escape the unsafe filename
		characters.
		The binkp receiver now does process escaped filenames.

	mbfido:
		Stone age packet support, see common.a.
		Due to a configuration error in some system using King-FIX 
		v.1.26.Universal mbfido did crash.
		Now it will log this and continue processing ticfiles with the
		risk of sending files back to the owner of that faulty program.
		Added the same check for Seenby lines.

	mbsebbs:
		Increased internal message buffer size to 700 lines.
		Fullscreen editor code cleanup, debug messages removed.


v0.37.3		09-Apr-2003 - 10-May-2003

		save. This updates the archiver view contents commands.

	mbsetup:
		The edit archiver has now an edit line for the view archive
		commands.

	mbsebbs:

		When a new message is saved in a local area, the mailout
		semafore is not set anymore.

	mbuser:
		Added nopper code during pack.

	mbcico:
		Removed some heavy debug code from ttyio functions to increase
		throughput.
		Standarized raw ifcico protocol logging.
		Some minor changes to the raw ifcico protocol, better error
		checking and a check for buffer overflow.

	mbfido:
		In a scanned netmail destined to our own local UUCP gate the
		useless X-FTN-INTL and X-FTN-TOPT kludges are no longer 
		inserted in the message.

	lang:
		New language prompt number 17.
		Erased language prompts 18..36.

		System prepared for setting the official FTSC product code,
		this will be 0x11FF. The code is not yet activated.

		chat stuff that is of no use anymore. The sysop shows his

		Extended Info toggle (English only).
		Updated offline textfiles to remove point download and add
		new Extended Info toggle (English only).

	mbsebbs:
		Offline reader, the reply packets are now handled complete
		case insensitive.
		Dropped BlueWave v2 format completly, obsolete format.
		The BlueWave and QWK download packets can have kludges, this

v0.37.1		14-Jan-2003 - 23-Feb-2003

	upgrade:
		After installing the binaries, start mbsetup, enter menu 1 and

		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.

		want to replace the default txtfiles and menus, upgraded
		versions are in the distribution but are not automatic
		installed.
		Documented menu 318, was present for a long time, just not in
		the html docs.
		The main Makefile now sets each txtfiles directory to mode 775
		to allow doors to write ansi/ascii screens.
		Removed the safe cracker door, this is now external.

	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.
		The poutCR function for the bbs never did send a newline.

	mbtask:
		Arcmail for non-CM nodes and Txx nodes is now sent during the
		node's opening hours or ZMH.
		Fixed a bug where one of the nodelists was node closed with
		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
		long as there are mailers running, but not longer as 30 mins.

		commandline option is set, a violation is logged as warning.
		Removed some debugging tests and log messages.
		If a tic file was received in uppercase, during import in the
		bbs the LFN is converted to lowercase.
		Removed a debug logmessage from file forward.
		Promoted some normal debug logmessages to heavy debug messages
		in the outbound queue packer.

	mbdiff:
		If unpacking a diff file fails, a second attempt is done after
		a sync and one second delay.

	mbsetup:
		Added protection against wrong database sizes depending on
		global settings.
		When moving a message area to area zero mbsetup doesn't crash

		long for a 80 characters display.

	mbsebbs:
		It will now refuse to up/download OLR packets when the system
		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.
		Removed timebank and nextuser doors.
		Added editing of user's signature file. New menu item 319.
		If the sysop is exporting a echomail message he will have the
		option to save to his private directory or to the rules
		directory. If saved to the rules directory the message will
		have the filename of the area tag. Normal users can only export
		to their private directory. Sysops: now you can start 
		collecting area rules!
		New menu 221, display arearules. This function tries to find
		the arearules in the rules directory and if found displays
		this to the user.
		Fixed whoson list to display user real names and handles again.

		and unix names again.

v0.37.00	26-Dec-2002 - 14-Jan-2003

	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.
		Call setup changed and uses now the nodelist lookup URL.
		Changed raw ifcico debug logging.

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

	examples:
		Prepared for more example translations.

		Move old files to another area failed, only the symbolic link
		was moved.
		Prepared for multilanguage html pages creation.

	mbfido:
		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.
