v0.51.2 06-Mar-2004
|
||
|
||
upgrade:
|
||
Before upgrade announce all new files!
|
||
Compile all programs.
|
||
Close the system with mbstat close.
|
||
Install programs as root (as usual).
|
||
Start mbsetup, this can take a while on a system with lots of
|
||
files, during startup the files database will be converted.
|
||
After the menu appears, enter global setup, exit and save.
|
||
Open the system again.
|
||
If you want you may restart mbtask.
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
Updated to a new files database structure that allows for
|
||
expanding the records like most other databases to allow new
|
||
features.
|
||
Removed all references to costsharing for ticfiles which wasn't
|
||
fully implemented.
|
||
Added setup items for subprocess priority and sync filesystem.
|
||
Added setup parameter for filefind keyword length.
|
||
|
||
libcommon.a:
|
||
Moved the initial delay in the execute functions to the child
|
||
process, that may be the trick to work around the lost child
|
||
messages.
|
||
|
||
mbcico:
|
||
Updated file request function to new files database structure.
|
||
Fixed a compile problem on FreeBSD 5.1
|
||
To test 3 bugfixes:
|
||
Fixed a bug when a m_get was received with file offset = file
|
||
size that would log a negative transfer time and transfer rate.
|
||
Fixed a bug when a m_get message was received with the current
|
||
file with offset = file size to properly close the file and
|
||
unlink from the outbound queue.
|
||
Fixed a bug when a m_get message was received on a file that
|
||
was already transmitted to remove that file from the outbound
|
||
queue.
|
||
Removed some debug logging from inbound handler.
|
||
|
||
mbfido:
|
||
When removing files during tic import due to replace or maximum
|
||
files, thumbnails are now also removed from disk.
|
||
Updated tic file import function to the new files database
|
||
structure.
|
||
Added more checks and logging for adding new file announce
|
||
records. Newer files will replace the older record so the last
|
||
one will be announced.
|
||
Fixed a bug in mbfile kill that destroyed the filebase when a
|
||
file was deleted or moved.
|
||
|
||
mbfile:
|
||
Updated kill, index, check, pack, list, adopt, import, move,
|
||
delete and sort to the new files database structure.
|
||
The file delete function in kill didn't delete the thumbnail.
|
||
The mbfile del and undel commands accept wildcards in the
|
||
filename.
|
||
Fixed an error in check when a mangled 8.3 filename was changed
|
||
and the symbolic link was not adjusted.
|
||
Added rearc command.
|
||
The check command does now also check if the magic alias file
|
||
request names are valid and removes the invalid entries.
|
||
|
||
mbaff:
|
||
When scanning for uploads, files which were hatched now have
|
||
the right tic area name instead of AREA n in the announce
|
||
record. They also contain the used magic filename if this is
|
||
known.
|
||
The scan for new uploads function is updated to the new files
|
||
database structure.
|
||
The filefind function is updated to the new files database
|
||
structure.
|
||
|
||
mbsebbs:
|
||
Updated to the new files database structure.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Added auto upgrade for the files database.
|
||
Changed menus 14, 7.n.6, 10.1 and 8.4.
|
||
Changed default charset for new mailgroups and message areas
|
||
to CP437.
|
||
Added setup for filefind keyword length in menu 13.
|
||
Added setup items in menu 1.5 for child priority and filesystem
|
||
sync calls.
|
||
|
||
mbuseradd:
|
||
Fixed removing of a OS created homedir. This may solve problems
|
||
on RH and Fedora (under test).
|
||
|
||
examples:
|
||
Updated English, German, Spanish and Dutch macro files:
|
||
html.nodes and filemgr.status.
|
||
|
||
lang:
|
||
removed obsolete prompt 240.
|
||
Updated germandu.txt (by Malte Tychsen).
|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.51.1 21-Feb-2004 - 06-Mar-2004
|
||
|
||
upgrade:
|
||
In all message groups set check/set default character set.
|
||
In all message areas set the character set to use with the
|
||
global editor (to CP437 for example). Local and netmail
|
||
areas must be done by hand because they are most likely not
|
||
in a group.
|
||
The macro templates are updated, you MUST install the newfiles
|
||
macro template at least because the format changed!
|
||
Type "make help" in the examples subdirectory to see how.
|
||
|
||
SETUP.sh:
|
||
Changed to support Darwin (OS X). Note that in earlier days
|

|
||
then. Work is underway to let it compile and run again.

|
||
a switch (*) to select/deselect all groups at once.

|
||
Added Control-U 9 to display file to show the users character
|
||
set in the menus screens.
|
||
Added experimental characterset translation to message read.
|
||
This will translate the message character set used to the users
|
||
character set. When translation is impossible a ? is printed.
|
||
After problems with iconv, switched to use code from Martin
|
||
Junius Fidogate package.

|
||
|
||
mbfido:
|
||
Changed ^aTID to include OS and CPU.
|
||
For the tic area create and message area create the check is
|
||
now case insensitive, also the area tagnames are forced to
|
||
uppercase. This should solve the problems with Linuxnet.
|
||
Replaced system() call with execute.

||
v0.51.0 09-Feb-2004 - 21-Feb-2004

Hydra and Binkp.

Updated all documentation to validate html makeup.
|
||
Added installation support for Gentoo Linux, contributed by
|
||
Capit<69>n X.
|
||
Since this version Posix threads are being used, please let
|
||
me know if this doesn't compile on you system.
|
||
All Makefiles do not strip the binaries anymore, the binaries
|
||
are stripped during make install only. This allows to run the
|
||
not yet installed binaries under debuggers.
|
||
The configure script has a --enable-debugging option so that
|
||
all code can be compiled to let it run under debuggers. Not
|
||
usefull for production systems.
|
||
This version had a lot of testing using valgrind. Most errors
|
||
were minor problems.
|
||
Added French language file created by Francois Thunus. This
|
||
translation is not yet complete.
|
||
Cleanup in main makefile, added help.
|
||
Revised configure and all Makefiles for better support of
|
||
linking with threads libraries.

upgrade:
|
||
If you don't have any personal archivers, then remove
|
||
~/etc/archiver.data and start mbsetup to recreate the
|
||
archivers setup.
|
||
If you didn't change anything of the language defaults then
|
||
delete /opt/mbse/etc/language.data and run mbsetup to create
|
||
a new language.data including the french setup.
|
||
Check setting 7.x.3.18 for each node. If you know the node uses
|
||
Irex between 2.24 and 2.29 then set this to Yes or you won't
|
||
have good sessions without files with this mailer. Sessions
|
||
with Irex that do transfer some file are Ok.

||
|
||

libnodelist:
|

mbsebbs:
|
||
The whoson list displays the doorname if set in the menus.
|
||
If a door is single user and the door is in use, the second
|
||
user can't start the door but gets a message about this
|
||
situation.
|
||
Fixed a bug where the bbs goes into a loop after idle timeout
|
||
during login (and maybe in other situations).

|
||
In node editor, fixed error message when there was no more
|
||
room for new nodes to point to the right menus.
|
||
Added support for tar compressed archives.
|
||
Changed all fidonet domain names to maximum 8 characters so
|
||
that we now follow the FTSC specs.

|
||
as fast as without compression.
|
||
Changed signal handlers to better detect broken TCP links.
|
||
Changed two inbound logmessages to debug level.
|
||
All internal references to tfido port changed to telnet port

|
||
future extensions.

|
||

|
||

|
||
Added a check to see if we get a URL to call other systems.
|
||
If nodelist info fails, increase error counter in steps of 10.
|
||
Fixed nodelocks during session handshake after many years. The
|
||
problem showed only when mbcico was used together with a mailer
|
||
on a different OS. When a aka is busy, the aka is now dropped.
|
||
When all akas are busy, a session is impossible and the session
|
||
is refused. Thanks to Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski for finding and
|
||
documenting this bug.
|

|
||
answer telnet (ITN) sessions.
|
||
|
||
mbfile:
|
||
When the areanumber with the adopt command was not given, the
|
||
help is displayed instead of trying area 0 that doesn't exist.
|
||
With the file move, adopt and import command if the file
|
||
already exists in the destination area, the action is refused.
|
||
Added mbfile sort <area> command. Files are case insensitive
|
||
sorted on the long filename. After sort the indexes are rebuild.
|
||
Fixed some logging that should have been debug logging.
|
||
Fixed a uninitialized memory pointer in the index command.
|

|
||
under control of debuggers.

||
The client command server runs in a separate thread.
