!!!! DON'T USE, THIS VERSION HAS LOTS OF BUGS !!!!
|
||
|
||
v0.71.0 27-Oct-2004
|
||
|
||
mbsebbs:
|
||
In change handle the first character of the name is not
|
||
capitalized.
|
||
Changed layout of raw directory listing to support longer
|
||
filenames.
|
||
Rewrote terminal i/o.
|
||
If a user pages the sysop a hint is displayed to fill in the
|
||
reason to chat, language prompt 28.
|
||
After forced chat, redisplay the last menu.
|
||
|
||
mbnewusr:
|
||
Rewrote terminal i/o.
|
||
|
||
lang:
|
||
Changed width of prompt 261.
|
||
Added prompt 28.
|
||
Removed leading spaces of prompt 151.
|
||
|
||
examples:
|
||
Fixed logo display.
|
||
Fixed Spanish txtfiles to leave out an old support bbs.
|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.70.0 06-Jun-2004 - 26-Oct-2004.
|
||
|
||
upgrade:
|
||
If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 0.60.0
|
||
If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 0.60.0
|
||
(That was twice).
|
||
Don't forget to backup /opt/mbse and all fle areas!
|
||
|
||
Check if /opt/mbse/var/msgs is empty before using this version.
|
||
Make sure that /opt/mbse/queue is empty, then close the
|
||
bbs with "mbstat close wait".
|
||
Kill mbtask, "kill `/sbin/pidof mbtask` might work.
|
||
Now you may do the upgrade with "make install" as root. This
|
||
order is important because the files database moves to a new
|
||
location (~/var/fdb). Some other directories move too.
|
||
Now you may start the bbs again.
|
||
|
||
Start "mbsetup", enter 1, global setup, leave and save".
|
||
Run "mbfile check" and then "mbfile index". This fixes the
|
||
thumbnails if supported by your system.
|
||
Update all maintenance scripts to change the semafore directory
|
||
to ~/var/sema.
|
||
|
||
If you compiled with ./configure --enable-newsgate you may
|
||
need to erase the newsgroup names in the echomail areas you
|
||
don't want to gate to news.
|
||
|
||
In mbsetup menu 1.14 update the TCP/IP connection details.
|
||
|
||
In the english txtfiles and menus the doors menu and screens
|
||
are updated for the newer doors setup, you might want to
|
||
upgrade or use them as examples.
|
||
In the examples directory type "make macros" to update the
|
||
macro templates. Be carefull if you have personalized versions.
|
||
To reinstall the corrected macro templates go into the examples
|
||
directory and type "make macros".
|
||
|
||
In mbsetup menu 1.7 check the new items 15, 16 and 17.
|
||
|
||
If you want to switch running doors as user instead of via sudo
|
||
then read doors.html and follow the instructions.
|
||
|
||
If you have BBBS uplinks and use automatic uplink requests then
|
||
change the setup of these nodes in screen 7.10.
|
||
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
Added compile directive for full newsgate. If this switch is
|
||
used then mbfido behaves like it did upto version 0.50.0 and
|
||
mbnntp is disabled.
|
||
Added define for nodelist line length for all programs.
|
||
Added -fno-strict-aliasing switch to gcc to prevent some
|
||
warnings.
|
||
With the newer versions of dosemu running doors as user finally
|
||
works. To migrate you need to read doors.html.
|
||
Changed security of most directories and files to allow only
|
||
bbs users.
|
||
In SETUP.sh better xinetd.d system detection.
|
||
On Linux SETUP.sh adds user mbse to group wheel and uucp.
|
||
SETUP.sh adds disabled telnet service to inetd.conf or xinetd.
|
||
|
||
libmbse.a:
|
||
In nodelist.conf changed the order of fields to search for ip
|
||
information, field 8 before field 6.
|
||
Added a new keyword 'ipprefix' in nodelist.conf to define a
|
||
table with IP prefixes to use in field 6.
|
||
When files are attached that should "leave" after sent (not
|
||
truncated or removed) they are now prepended with the @
|
||
character instead of no character. This is compatible with
|
||
ifcico but not with other mailers, but should do no harm
|
||
because most mailers only look for the ^ and # characters.
|
||
Fixed function to return full 5d address in the outbound when
|
||
the address is in a different zone then our own zone.
|
||
The socket_connect function now sets the global nodenumber from
|
||
the reply of mbtask.
|
||
|
||
libnodelist.a:
|
||
Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
|
||
Fixed IP port override if there is a port added to a protocol.
|
||
Removed some debug logging.
|
||
|
||
libmsgbase.a:
|
||
If a message area becomes empty after a pack, all lastread
|
||
pointers are reset to zero.
|
||
Removed debug logmessage from jamPack.
|
||
|
||
libdbase.a:
|
||
Removed some debug logging from files database module.
|
||
The files database is moved from ~/fdb to ~/var/fdb.
|
||
Added debug logging to dbfdb to find the problem with not
|
||
cleaned magic aliases.
|
||
Fixed a problem with the files database were the temp file used
|
||
for sorting and inserting files didn't close the temp file.
|
||
Changed method of inserting new files so that old magic names
|
||
are really cleared.
|
||
|
||
mbcico:
|
||
Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
|
||
In the binkp driver, when files were found to transmit and
|
||
didn't exist anymore, they are not added to the list of files
|
||
to sent but are marked as already transmitted so they will
|
||
be removed from the .flo file. Also, after a successfull
|
||
session .flo files with all files marked as transmitted are
|
||
removed. With nodes that were marked crash, this will prevent
|
||
continuous calling.
|
||
Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.
|
||
Changed binkp IsDoing info.
|
||
Removed a little debug logging.
|
||
|
||
mbout:
|
||
Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
|
||
Code cleanup for nodelist processing.
|
||
Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.
|
||
|
||
mbfido:
|
||
Added compile directive for full newsgate.
|
||
Removed logmessage in addpkt function.
|
||
Added code to un_attach files during tic import that are
|
||
deleted from the system by replace, or keep # magic actions,
|
||
but also for files with the same name that are replaced.
|
||
Removed debug logging from toberep function since all problems
|
||
are solved.
|
||
In rfc2ftn added check for ".\n" to change to " .\n" instead of
|
||
only check for ".\r\n".
|
||
Added support for *.msg files. If any are found, they are
|
||
processed and put in a netmail area. From there the mbfido scan
|
||
function is automatic called so that the message is sent out or
|
||
stays in the area if it has a local destination. File attaches
|
||
are supported. Note that this is not a gate, only put *.msg
|
||
files in that directory that originate from one of your own
|
||
aka's.
|
||
Fixed logging of 0 articles in scannews.
|
||
With the command "mbfido areas" without the -q option the user
|
||
must confirm this action.
|
||
For netmails to uplinks for areamgr/filemgr changes, the wrong
|
||
password was used.
|
||
In large areamgr/filemgr responses each 2048 bytes was an extra
|
||
<cr> inserted.
|
||
No help was displayed when no valid command was given.
|
||
Echomail for non-existing areas now finally is stored in the
|
||
badmail area.
|
||
Echomail received from not connected nodes is stored in the
|
||
badmail area unless the area allowes it.
|
||
Can now send (hopefully) valid uplink requests to BBBS systems.
|
||
Removed some debug logging from un_attach, made one into a
|
||
normal logmessage.
|
||
The postemail and scanemail functions are changed so that
|
||
Outlook email addresses are parsed so that we can reply via
|
||
smtp.
|
||
During scan the Msg_Read function is now called with a width
|
||
of 79 characters instead of 78. This fixes the missing address
|
||
on Origin lines of 79 characters long.
|
||
The *.msg function now uses Fgets instead of fgets to read the
|
||
message.
|
||
|
||
mbmsg:
|
||
With te post command, the right number of commandline options
|
||
is checked, if this is wrong the help message is displayed.
|
||
If a message is posted in a local area, no echomail.jam is
|
||
updated and the mailout semafore is not set.
|
||
Added checks in the mbmsg post command if the To parameter has
|
||
the correct syntax for netmail and all other areas.
|
||
Will now return a non-zero error if the post() function
|
||
failed.
|
||
Fixed counter in logfile that should show the number of linked
|
||
messages.
|
||
With the post command a check is done to see if the input file
|
||
has a tearline and origin line, if not mbmsg will add these
|
||
lines, else the lines of the input file are used.
|
||
|
||
mbfile:
|
||
The filenames in the html pages are now the long filenames.
|
||
This fixes download problems with some mangled 8.3 filenames.
|
||
Fixed a bug where "mbfile k p i" didn't give the help screen.
|
||
The html index now uses html named character entities on the
|
||
area names on the main index page.
|
||
With html index creation if the convert program for the
|
||
thumbnails failed, the html pages were wrong.
|
||
The thumbnails were created from the 8.3 name but the url was
|
||
created to the LFN. Depending on the settings of your apache
|
||
server you would see the thumbnails or not.
|
||
The check for wrong thumbnails changed from LFN to 8.3 names.
|
||
Updated to use the new files database location.
|
||
|
||
mbindex:
|
||
Code cleanup for nodelist processing.
|
||
Added a extra check to see if nodelist datalines are valid to
|
||
prevent segfaults on Skynet nodelists.
|
||
Does finally compile a username index.
|
||
Fixed compiling pointlists where on the Boss line when there
|
||
is no last comma on the line.
|
||
|
||
mbdiff:
|
||
Added EOF character as last character in the new created list.
|
||
|
||
mbaff:
|
||
In newfiles and filefind reports with the tty info lines, also
|
||
display TCP/IP connection details.
|
||
|
||
mbstat:
|
||
In the wait function the semafore directory was scanned direct
|
||
instead of using the library functions.
|
||
|
||
mbsebbs:
|
||
Added user@domain login for pop3 mailboxes.
|
||
If pop3 login fails, the bbs won't hang.
|
||
If a users homedirectory doesn't exist, a correct error message
|
||
is displayed and logged.
|
||
If a user replied to a email and the system was in Own
|
||
maildomain mode, the From address was changed to the Fidonet
|
||
style address instead of Unix address.
|
||
When a netmail reply is done to a node without a valid address
|
||
we ask the user if he wants to continue.
|
||
Changed menu logging.
|
||
The exec_nosuid function for doors now also has a extra small
|
||
delay just like all other execute functions to prevent problems
|
||
on fast machines.
|
||
Added extra fflush in quickscan mail.
|
||
When calling the external editor, the fromaddress if available
|
||
is given to joe.
|
||
In Quick_Bye reset all signal handlers to prevent that die() is
|
||
called in case something goes wrong during Quick_Bye.
|
||
The fake nodenumber is now obtained from mbtask instead of a
|
||
count of tty line records so the used nodenumbers will be a lot
|
||
lower then before.
|
||
Changed Msg_Read from 78 to 79 characters.
|
||
In menu the semafore directory was scanned direct instead of
|
||
using the library functions.
|
||
|
||
mbnewuser:
|
||
Made questions for screenlen, newmail check and newfiles check
|
||
dependant of settings in the setup.
|
||
During program exit, it tried to remove the wrong socket to
|
||
mbtask.
|
||
|
||
mbnntp:
|
||
If compiled in full newsmode, this program acts like a dummy.
|
||
|
||
mbuser:
|
||
Fixed permissions.
|
||
|
||
mbtask:
|
||
Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
|
||
Added defaults for questions for screenlen, newmail check and
|
||
newfiles check.
|
||
Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.
|
||
When calling mbcico the address passed is now 5d.
|
||
Tried to call nodes during ZMH or during a Tyx window when mail
|
||
was on hold.
|
||
The comm protocol reply to the AINI command now contains a fake
|
||
node number.
|
||
The magic filenames directory is moved from ~/magic to
|
||
~/var/magic.
|
||
The semafore directory is moved from ~/sema to ~/var/sema.
|
||
When shutting down on UPS semafore "upsdown", the log was
|
||
garbled.
|
||
When shutting down on an external event and there were users
|
||
online, mbtask did not wait.
|
||
|
||
mbsetup:
|
||
In mail and files group edit screens, to make an area active
|
||
existing connections check is skipped.
|
||
If a node record is deleted, the outbox and directory paths
|
||
are removed as well if they are empty.
|
||
Added user@domain login for pop3 servers in screen 1.12.
|
||
Added compile directive for full newsgate to prevent newsgroup
|
||
name creation in default compiled mode.
|
||
When editing files, after leaving a file record the file range
|
||
displayed stays around the last area.
|
||
If a message area is deleted and a rulefile is present, this
|
||
rulefile is deleted too.
|
||
When a new golded.inc file is written, only fidonet records
|
||
that are active are written.
|
||
When a file area is deleted, the file path wasn't removed.
|
||
In menu 2, added 3 checks to see if enough info is entered to

|
||
|
||
|
||
v0.60.0 09-Feb-2004 - 04-Jun-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.
|
||
This will also update the message area records and the message
|
||
group permission.
|
||
Now stop and restart mbtask.
|
||
Open the system with mbstat open.
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
general:
|
||
Reorganized the library header files. This will make it easier
|
||
to switch to dynamic libraries so other apps can link to mbse.
|
||
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.
|
||
Removed one setup entry for check for free diskspace, there
|
||
were two different values for the same purpose. The removed
|
||
one was not used.
|
||
Moved doc directory from /opt/mbse/doc to /opt/mbse/share/doc.
|
||
Added configure test for CPU optimization flags. Use with
|
||
./configure --enable-optimize.
|
||
Added charset kludges for CP852 2 and CP895 2, Czech Latin-2
|
||
and Kamenicky. There are no mapping tables available.
|
||
Added new location of joerc files for FreeBSD 4.9
|
||
|
||
SETUP.sh:
|
||
Changed to support Darwin (OS X). Note that in earlier days
|
||
mbse did compile under OS X, but things are different since
|
||
then. Work is underway to let it compile and run again.
|
||
To better support Darwin (OS X) a hardware sponsor is needed.
|
||
|
||
libmbse.a:
|
||
Changed the execute function so it will work on 2.6.x kernels
|
||
and fast cpu's.
|
||
Added execute_str function for compatibility with the older
|
||
api. Added execute_pth function to execute programs in the
|
||
path.
|
||
Moved the initial delay in the execute functions to the child
|
||
process. This solved the "lost child messages".
|
||
Added enoughspace function to check diskspace.
|
||
|
||
libmsgbase.a:
|
||
With JAM_Readheader the Msg.Replyid field wasn't filled.
|
||
|
||
libdbase.a:
|
||
Added new Files DataBase functions that will handle FDB io
|
||
with locking.
|
||
|
||
mbaff:
|
||
Patched to store long filename in the newfiles database
|
||
Writes the ^aCHRS: kludge again in new created messages.
|
||
Changed ^aPID to include OS and CPU.
|
||
Added macro "u" that holds the magic filerequest name.
|
||
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.
|
||
Updated to use new disk watcher.
|
||

|
||
Added login check to see if user has a valid character set.
|
||
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. Code is used from Martin Junius Fidogate
|
||
package. (A better solution may follow in a next release).
|
||
In delete file in home directory the Y/N keys were read from
|
||
the wrong language prompt.
|
||
Replaced system() call with execute.
|
||
Updated to the new files database structure.
|
||
Fixed SIGCHLD logmessages on Fedora.
|
||
Added logging of virus scanner results.
|
||
Patches for offline reader programs that create messages with
|
||
wrong line terminaters (Sempoint).

|
||
The users tag directory wasn't properly cleaned before a new
|
||
download session.
|
||
The message group stat counters were not updated when a user
|
||
posted a message at the bbs.
|
||
|
||
mbnewusr:
|
||
Replaced system() call with execute.
|
||
Fixed SIGCHLD logmessages on Fedora.

|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
New files who already in the toberep database will not be
|
||
added again, but may be updated with newer info.
|
||
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.
|
||
Fixed a bug in mbfile kill that destroyed the filebase when a
|
||
file was deleted or moved.
|
||
Doesn't write Magic Request into files description anymore,
|
||
this is now handled outsite the description lines.
|
||
Updated to use new disk watcher.
|
||
The area tags are now created in /opt/mbse/share/doc/tags.
|
||
Fixed SIGCHLD logmessages on Fedora.
|
||
The last argument '*' which was hardcoded in the virusscan
|

||
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.

|
||
translation is not yet complete.

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.
