$Id$ MBSEBBS History. v0.35.02 22-Jun-2002 general: Added checks for GoldED in external program checks. Added new empty path /opt/mbse/var/boxes. Implemented nodes private outbound boxes. common.a: Added debug nodelist IFT flag for logging. mbsetup: Changed node records layout into 8 screens to be able to add more settings. New settings not in use yet are disabled. Added settings for node contact information. This is private for mbsetup use only. Implemented nodes special outbound box setup. When you enter that item for the first time, it fills this with a suggested path. mbcico: Implemented nodes special outbound boxes. mbout: Implemented nodes special outbound boxes. mbfido: In newsmode when a mesage is received with an illegal formated date headerline, the date is replaced with the current date and time. Possible cause: SunMail 1.0 mbtask: When first run the goldnode command is only filled in if it excists in the mbtask configuration. Implemented nodes special outbound boxes. v0.35.01 05-Jun-2002 - 22-Jun-2002 upgrade: Start mbsetup, check in the nodes setup if all the session passwords are ok. general: Added structures for netmail routing file. Expanded nodes structures for FTP and Directory transfers. Splitted nodes session/mail password in mail and session password. Added more external program checks to get the right paths of archivers, virus scanners etc for default settings in the setup. mbtask: Removed some debug logging and corrected some spelling. The ping test now also works if operations are suspended. Rewrote the ping state machine. mbcico: Now uses the new session password field for session handshake. The binkp version string now includes the OS and CPU type. If a transmitted file via binkp is skipped by the remote it will stay in the queue for the next session. The binkp protocol now supports the CRC option proposed by Tobias Ernst. This unofficial extension is also supported by Irex and patched BinkP versions. Better error handling for error conditions during a binkp session. Fixed a problem with the calculated filetransfer speed with large files on fast connections. mbout: Removed a small memory leak. mbfido: When creating uplink area requests the from aka used is now the aka defined in the group. Removed several memory leaks again. Fixed a bug when a news article was received with a header line without a key value such as created by wrong configured newsreaders. mbfile: Added -v commandline switch to suppress virus checking for the adopt and import commands. Use with great care. mbsebbs: Bluewave reply packets now also process an incoming *.olc file so now bluewave if fully Bluewave V3 compatible. Internally it works by converting the *.olc file to a *.pdq file. Patch made by Redy Rodriguez. mbsetup: Upgrades the nodes records, the new session password is copied from the old combined mail/session password. In nodes submenu 14 the session and mail passwords can now be edited seperatly. This will change again! Archivers, file transfer protocols and virus scanners found during first configure of this program are automatic installed in the setup and enabled. Others are shown there with default paths but are disabled, they can be used as examples. Fixed crashing mbsetup in menus 10.3.2, 10.4.5 and 10.4.6. Menu 1.1 system aka's now has the option to move aka's to other positions. Added some check's on the main aka's. mbtask: The pinger now uses a fixed sequence number to check if this is the problem that sometimes the internet seems down. v0.33.21 04-Jun-2002 This is the final release of the 0.33.20 development version. v0.33.20 10-Feb-2002 - 04-Jun-2002 upgrade: Remove /opt/mbse/etc/safe.data Compile sources and install binaries. Restart the BBS. Enter mbsetup, this will upgrade the databases. Go into global configuration, exit and save, this will update the main configuration (add default macro path). Edit the message groups and file groups for new settings. Run mbfile check to fix download directory permissions. Check the setting in menu 10.2.13 if it does what you want it to do. general: Added structures for area maintenance with area lists. Installing the maptabs don't give any errors anymore when installed as user mbse. The location of the source isn't important anymore to install the maptabs. Updated German, Spanish and Galego languages. The location of the sourcefiles is not important anymore. Added detection of vpopmail in default installation path. Changed language prompts 372, 373, 387, 388, 389, 390 and 438. Added the turbodiesel macro language so that reports can be customized per language and reports. Thanks to Redy Rodriguez for finding this one and implement it into mbse bbs. Splitted the No TCP settings in No IBN, No IFC and No ITN. Removed settings for Non-hold mail and Pickup Primary. Removed several setting for http setup, this is now handled by the macro templates. The rc files for joe, the external editor are now copied to /usr/lib/joe or /etc/joe depending on your distribution. Several readme files are now in a new html file, the FAQ. common.a: Added 2 functions to return the OS name and CPU family. Added a function to return the right tearline. Added support for ext3 filesystem in diskspace check. Fixed lharc archives return code to LHA. Changed mkprod.awk script to support Debian Woody. The aka2str function now onmits the @ if there is no domain information. clcomm.a Added counter for mailer TCP/IP sessions. diesel.a New library for parsing macro templates. msgbase.a: Improved logging for opening message bases. Added function to delete a JAM message base. Fix for corrupting LastRead pointers on FreeBSD systems. mbsetup: In message groups added default settings for auto area creation. Added servicename filemgr to the filemgr services. When adding or deleting a message area, several extra checks are done. The JAM base is also removed when deleting. Layout for message area editor changed, more logical now. If selecting a file/mailgroup in node edit that is outside the visible range of groups, the view is adjusted. If changing the path in an existing file area, the files in that area are moved to the new path. It is now possible to move file areas. It is now possible to move JAM message bases. Added edit of external message editor in menu 1.4. Added edit of NoPrompt setting in menus for doors. Changed edit of message editor in user editor. Double noderecords are automatic removed with error logging. Corrected screen layout in menu 1.4.11. When editing analogue modem lines, the locked portspeed was in a lot of cases set to 0. In newfiles and filefind reports sets default template files during init. When adding a new newfiles or filefind record some defaults are automatic filled in. Splitted no TCP into no IBN, no IFC and no ITN in global and nodes setup. When editing a new message area, and the area was made active, all entered data was erased. Removed setting for http setup which are now in the macro templates. Changed the screen layout of menu 10.2 a bit as suggested by Vince Coen. Fixed a non understandable logmessage in check if nodes are connected to file and or mail groups. It is now possible to reset a users time left for today. The top statusbar now displays the bbs Free/Down/Busy status. Some dangerous menus cannot be entered anymore while some programs are being used, ie. the bbs must be free. When these menus are entered, the bbs will be closed for use. Added menu 8.6, edit BBS list entries. Fixed numbering of menu 8.7, edit oneliners. Added menu 8.8 for safe crackers data. If the safe is cracked it can now be reset. Protected convert-all setting in menus 10.1 and 10.2 when no default archiver is defined. Changed page layout in site.doc Changed the confusing No Touch setting in tic areas to Touch. mbmon: The top statusbar now displays the bbs Free/Down/Busy status. Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. mbfido: In AreaMgr and FileMgr changed aka matching for area connections. Code cleanups. In FileMgr when %tick=on/off command was received, mbfido crashed. Implemented auto area create comparing a new received echo from a uplink which has a echomail taglist in one of the mailgroups defined. The area is created with the defaults from the mailgroup. If mbfido fails to unzip a incoming mailarchive, a second attempt is done after a sync() and one second delay. This seems to be a kernel flush problem. The same goes for adding .pkt files to the outbound, a second try is done after a sync() to add the .pkt to the archive. In the To field of a created TIC file there is now a comma between the sysop name and fidonet aka. When creating a filefind netmail reply there was no destination address. Corrected spelling errors in the Areamgr and Filemgr help messages. Removed some debug logging from the RFC->FTN gate. Implemented the FileMgr and AreaMgr pause and resume commands. Changed logging when AreaMgr/FileMgr commands did fail. Some checks improved and fixed some potential sigsegv crashes. Reduced aka match level for (dis)connect areas to zone, net. This should fix problems on systems with multiple aka's when the first aka is not the aka in the areas. In mgr result reports, lines with connected areas do now also display the aka to which they are connected. The file forward function now always puts a 8.3 filename in the outgoing ticfile. For most files nothing is changed. AreaMgr and FileMgr netmails are now split into more netmails when the become too large. When a downlink requests an echomail area which is not yet available, and there is a areas file for some uplink, the area is automatic created and a areamgr request is sent to the uplink to connect that area. The area is created with the defaults from the mailgroup. Experimental patch in mkftnhdr to create a To address in news articles where a Reply-To: header is present. It was not possible to disconnect file areas. Added nopper code to full mailscan. Fixed a problem that caused a SIGSEGV when a node was in the ticfiles setup to forward file to and there was no noderecord. When a ticfile was received while our aka is in the path, the bad tic counter wasn't increased. Made error message in AddMsgHdr function more clear. Removed experimental patch in news->ftn gate were wrong To: address was created. The mbfido news functions doesn't abort anymore when a newsgroup didn't exist. For points in echomail no seen-by entry is added. The AreaMgr and FileMgr responses and notify messages now use the diesel macro language. The tic file forward function now uses only filenames in the subject of the netmail messages without the path. The tic file forward netmails now uses template forward.tic When started a second time it doesn't destroy the lockfile anymore. When a converted email to news listserver message is processed that has a header line starting with X-MS-, the headerline is suppressed because there is no key for this header. This looks like a new kind of M$ standard. mbnews crashed on this one. Fixed a small problem in magic filename testing. In rfc2ftn the Approved: header now becomes a kludge instead of being plain passed. Auto file area create implemented, it can use plain tagfiles or filegate.zxx formatted files. The mbfido web command now uses macro templates. Areamgr uplink requests the sender name is now set to the sysop's name, so he/she will get to read the responses. New command: areas. This will read all defined area lists for files and mail groups that have the Auto Change set to Yes. Missing areas are created, areas not present anymore are removed if they are empty. Good for bulk areas create. When missing areas are created, uplink requests are sent to connect the areas. Added more checks to processing of file_id.diz files. Also when it is illegal formatted the already processed lines are cleared to prevent later malformatted descriptions. The hatch and magic processors now scan the filenames to test using the regexp library, this should be more reliable. Increased the size of the buffer for filesort. Improved error reporting when file copy fails. When a virus scanner is started, de mbtask connection timeout is set to one hour. Changed the confusing No Touch setting in tic areas to Touch. When a file to be attached doesn't exist, a error message is logged and the attach is treaded as an error. mbmsg: When creating non-existend message bases, the path is created first if it doesn't exist. Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. mbfile: The mbfile index command now creates the html pages using the macro templates html.main and html.areas. The files.css file is no longer needed. The check function now checks download directory permissions and tries to correct errors. Missing download directories are created mode 0775. Moved check for empty areas to mbfile check function. The mbfile move command now also moves the thumbnails. Better console error reporting when files are copied. Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. The html file indexes now have better translation from ANSI to low ascii and html codes. The import function didn't import files starting with the letter 't'. When a virus scanner is started, de mbtask connection timeout is set to one hour. The virus scanner was sometimes not executed in the right directory with the adopt and import functions. mball: Will not crash anymore when it needs more then 10 minutes to create the allfiles and newfiles lists. Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. mbaff: The High-ascii table to translate to lowercase has now the right values to translate the ansi graphics. Now uses the template newfiles and filefind to create the reports. Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. mbdiff: Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. Improved error reporting when copy fails. mbindex: Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. mbtask: Removed some debug logging. Creates the semafore is_inet when the internet connections is available, and removes it when it is down. Added test for ISDN/modem lines in use. If a line status change lasted 5 seconds or longer, the oubound will be rescanned. Lots of code cleanup. No setup setting anymore for maximum POTS and ISDN lines, this is now automatic. mbtask will now update internal counters how many ISDN and POTS lines are free to use for dialout. For ISDN and POTS calls, mbtask now decides which tty to use, mbcico gets the tty to use as option on the commandline. Keeps track of the number of mailers running. Added default path for arealists. Keeps track of total mailer TCP/IP sessions and will not start new sessions if the limit from the setup is reached. This will hopefully prevent that mbcico will use too much bandwidth on TCP/IP trafic. Splitted no TCP settings in no IBN, no IFC and no ITN. Improved the ping tests, better errorlogging and suppresion of icmp replies that are not for mbtask. Better protected against flood pings. This should fixes the problem that the internet seemed down while it was available. mbcico: Fixed binkp driver to accept incoming unprotected sessions. If a binkp session comes in and there already is a session with that node, mbcico stopts the binkp session with an error. Remove some obsolete code that is handled by mbtask. Added some debug logmessages in ttyio. Added experimental support for binkp GET command frame, under test now, seems to work, although the offset request is not supported. Registers TCP/IP sessions with mbtask. All filetransfer times and cps rates are calculated in mSecs. Splitted no TCP settings in no IBN, no IFC and no ITN. Removed settings for Non-hold mail and Pickup Primary. Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. Fixed some small problems with the history data log. Added tty information when it is available. mbout: The status display has now 9 digits for the outbound size. New command, mbout reset , unconditionally resets the nodes "try" counter, ie. make an undiable node try to call again. The status command displays the call attempts. Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. mbsebbs: On some systems the download taglists contained garbage after the short filename causing wrong filenames at the users side. Added support for external message editor written by Redy. Doors are now passed the parameter to display a prompt after the door or return silently. Fixed lharc file return code to LHA. Calling file transfer protocols now uses the execute call instead of system. Improved error logging for file downloads. When a user has no Location filled in, the bbs doesn't crash anymore. The new files scan colored areasnames bar length is corrected. Fixed the problems with the safecracker door. Removed the cheat codes and added a delay for the display of the safe opening. Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. mbnewusr: New users have the default internal fullscreen editor. Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal. mbuser: If a new user has registered and not yet used the bbs, mbuser would kill that user because the last login date wasn't set. It will use the registration date instead. mbstat: The timeout for the wait command was wrong due to a wrong upsdown semafore test. Corrected a spelling error. hatch: A new shellscript to hatch files in a tic area. mbuseradd: Added support for vpopmail, vadduser command. mbpasswd: Added support for vpopmail, vpasswd command. Corrected a define for temp variable. mbuser: Added support for vpopmail, vdeluser command. examples: The Makefile now selects the right little or big endian menu files to install. Rebuild the menus and txtfiles for the new external editor. Removed the mbsetup door from the sample sysop menus. Added templates.tar, these are the default english macro files for the diesel library. rundoor.sh Called door.bat instead of doors.bat installinit.sh Modified for SuSE 7.1 and later, the location of the startup script moved from /sbin to /etc. Patch by Joachim Kuwan. Also modified init.SuSE for Yast2 on SuSE 8.0 mbse.stop: Added path /usr/local/bin for FreeBSD. Needs the psmisc package from the ports collection to work. init.Debian Changed user from mbtask to mbse.
