v0.51.1 21-Feb-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 Latin-1 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
mbse did compile under OS X, but things are different since
then. Work is underway to let it compile and run again.
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.
mbout:
Replaced system() call with execute.
mbsetup:
In edit message groups added setup for default character set.
In edit message areas added setup for character set for the
area. Also added global edit for character set.
In several places where groups need to be tagged, there is now
a switch (*) to select/deselect all groups at once.
In the user editor the sex is now changed with the spacebar to
prevent typing errors.
In the user editor added character set edit in the second
screen.
Removed users fullscreen chat setting, not used.
Added menu setup for change character set, menu 321.
Replaced system() call with execute.
mbsebbs:
Writes the ^aCHRS: kludge again in new created messages.
Changed ^aPID to include OS and CPU.
Added user selecting a character set, menu 321.
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. When translation is impossible a ? is printed.
After problems with iconv, switched to use code from Martin
Junius Fidogate package.
In delete file in home directory the Y/N keys were read from
the wrong language prompt.
Replaced system() call with execute.

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.
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.
mbdiff:
Replaced system() call with execute.
mbfile:
For creating www pages of the download areas, the new mapping
tables are used to translate from ibmpc characters to
iso-8859-1.

program if needed.
lang:
Added language prompts 23, 24 and 25.
v0.51.0 09-Feb-2004 - 21-Feb-2004
general:
Reorganized the library header files. This will make it easier
to switch to dynamic libraries so other apps can link to mbse.
mbaff:
Patched to store long filename in the newfiles database
mbsebbs:
Added support for the internal editor for hi-ascii
international character sets.
The screenlength is now really set to the users screenlength.
v0.50.0 03-Oct-2003 - 09-Feb-2004
general:
Added menu setup switches for doors: Singe user door and
hidden from lists.
Make dist now creates bzip2 archives.
Two html pages are now under control of configure.
The configure scripts shows the use of zlib compression for
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.
Changed endian tests using the configure script.
Upgraded to new released ftscprod.008
Added setup option per node to disable the binkp/1.1 protocol.
Added new binkp/1.1 driver.
In all sources replaced the usleep function with the msleep
function. The usleep function will become obsolete someday.
Incoming and outgoing telnet (ITN) sessions finally works.
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.
libclcomm:
Fixed a small (not harmfull) buffer overlapped copy detected
by valgrind.
libcommon:
A small fix in printable log function.
Added a safety check for the TCP registrate function to prevent
stale TCP/IP mailer counts.
Fixed a forgotten fclose in proglock.
Allows node locking with zero bytes lockfiles created by some
other OS when enabled in the setup.
The attach function now checks if a file is already attached.
In execute and execsh on Linux systems sync() is called before
and after running the external program to make sure diskbuffers
are committed. Also added a 300 ms pause.
Added a milliseconds timer.
Code cleanup.
libmsgbase:
In JAM_Open replaced a strcpy with memmove.
Fixed invalid memory read/write in Msg_Link.
libdbase:
Code cleanup in dbdupe.
libnodelist:
Fixed a small memory leak.
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).
Fixed chat debug logging to only log to the debug.log file.
Posted netmail messages now support CC: lines. The CC: lines
should be the first lines of the message in the format:
CC: Michiel Broek 2:280/28
The Carbon Copied messages are marked with original sender.
Fixed small memory leak.
Fixed posting to local/echomail areas from bbs users.
A lot of small fixes for problems found with valgrind.
mbsetup:
Added menu settings for single user door and hide door. Added
setting for the door name in the menus and removed the never
used password for the menu (Was only present in the setup).
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.
Removed binkp CRC settings.
Fixed a unitialized unlink call in nodes close.
Fixed unclosed tempfile.
Fixed several small memory leaks.
Added default record for french language.
Added setting in menu 1.14 to allow zero bytes lockfiles
created by another OS.
Added setting in menu 7.x.3.18 to disable the use of binkp/1.1
protocol per node.

Reorganised menu 1.4 screen 1 and 2.
Added settings for T-Mail filebox paths in the second screen
of menu 1.4.

In global main aka setup, added check if a domain name is
present.
Updates to the database is now shown to the user.
mbcico:
Added Hydra zlib compressed data blocks using the idea of Alex
Shakhaylo. The compression will transfer some files about twice
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
because we now default to telnet port 23 for ITN calls.
Dropped binkp CRC support because it will be incompatible with
future extensions.
Fixed a small memory leak.
New binkp/1.1 driver. Check the upgrade for your Irex links.
In case of troubles please report these.
Added support for T-Mail fileboxes, partly written and info
provided by Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski (2:480/127).
Removed the check to disable calling points.
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.
The total session avg cps is now corrected with the two seconds
session close delay time.
Added PLZ compression option to binkp.
Added telnet input and output filters so we can now call and
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 3 forgotten file closes in mbfile list.
Removed sync calls that are now in execute.

Added a "secret" commandline parameter to allow mbtask to run
under control of debuggers.
The client command server runs in a separate thread.
Fixed some small memory leaks which had no effect on long term
running of mbtask, only leaks during program stop.
Moved the scheduler in a thread.

For the latest Slackware distros a setup script for pkgtool is
added. Most other distro's don't need this.
Dropped support for Slackware pre 7.0.
Changed startup scripts for NetBSD.
Fixed NetBSD init script
All init scripts now clean the ~/var/run directory and start
the bbs allways so that the bbs will try to start after a power
failure.
