1 07Jan99========================================================================
2 1. Fixed Geomag after emacs reformatted it wrong so sh/wwv works again.
3 2. Added more range checking in WWV spots (they really are a heap of ...)
4 3. Changed create_sysop.pl so that you can update as well as create the user
6 4. Remove spotter's SSID from WWV spots
7 06Jan99========================================================================
8 1. Do some range checking for spots and WWV in the future (got a WWV for Oct
9 2034 whhich caused a bit of confusion!)
10 2. Make WWV spots broadcast them to the users! (as opposed to merely storing
11 them)(thank you G0RDI).
12 3. Allow users to do show/announce (thank you JE1SGH).
13 4. Delay broadcasts to users if they are not in a 'prompt' state (means you can
14 add messages and see what you are doing on a busy system)
15 5. Made set/unset dx,ann,wx,talk,wwv do what is expected
16 6. added set/sys_location and set/set_qra to set the cluster lat/long and qra
17 7. New messages will now be announced on logon (if there are any)
18 03Jan99========================================================================
19 1. Upped the version no !!!!
20 2. made the DXProtocol routines much less sensitive to '~' characters (JE1SGH)
21 3. added '^' -> ':' conversions on ann, talk and dx commands
22 4. You can now send messages containing blank lines.
23 5. Fixed merge command problem reported by G0RDI
24 28Dec98========================================================================
25 1. Crossed fingers, got rid of the instabilities caused by execing programs
26 at vast speed (reduced it significantly anyway).
27 2. Personals will now move if homenode is known.
28 3. Added Local.pm for doing local specials
29 27Dec98========================================================================
30 1. Various detail changes to remove some more warning with -w on
31 2. Added DXCron handling - you can do crontabs now.
32 3. Added show/program command so you can see where it is loading your .pm files
34 4. Added pc26/27 replies to locally connected cluster's merge (pc25) requests
35 5. Added spotters DXCC and original cluster to Spot data files.
36 23Dec98========================================================================
37 1. Reindented various things
38 2. Added missing $main::mycall on the end of outgoing PC11s (!)
39 3. Check that PC16/17 node calls really are nodes (AFAIAC).
40 22Dec98========================================================================
41 1. Added brackets round callsign if not here for prompt
42 2. Added Iain's set/password routine
43 3. Fixed sh/dx problems (the xemacs indent region messed Spot.pm up!)
45 21Dec98============= late! ====================================================
46 1. fixed problem with missing DXDebug in DXProt.
47 2. Fixed DXDebug so that it actually works as advertised with and without
49 3. Added deduping of WWV spots as well (at for date,time,sfi,k and i) dups
50 4. Replaced the 0 in "02-Dec-1998" with ' ' so it reads " 2-Dec-1998", it seems
51 hard to credit it but some 'programs' out there that connect to clusters have
52 problems with the leading '0'!
53 5. In the same vain, included a strictly AK1A compatible sh/heading, apparently
54 this is necessary for the same reason as 4.
55 6. Started contrib tree stored the old show/heading in contrib/g0rdi/show.
56 7. Because I now correctly dedupe spots and wwv (there's a hostage to fortune..)
57 I have added a merge command.
58 21Dec98========================================================================
59 1. Added "issue" to the client program for 'login' connections
60 2. Added more docs for client program.
61 3. Fixed problem introduced in 1.12 where a connect locally with a callsign of
62 someone connected remotely would stop the cluster.
64 20Dec98========================================================================
65 1. Removed all the warnings I get with perl -w (at least for just starting the
66 cluster and running a few commands).
67 2. Added per node hop control.
68 3. Added some docs on how to use it and isolation
69 4. Made talk command more intelligent in that if the user isn't seen and the
70 user's last node is visible it tries the talk anyway.
71 19Dec98========================================================================
72 1. Fixed problems with sh/rcmd (talk/ann/log) with a callsign as argument and
73 also made what G0RDI wanted work as well!
74 2. Added isolate flag to allow isolation of different networks at a gateway.
75 3. Changed make Makefile.PL to perl Makefile.PL in instructions
76 4. Copied latest instructions to html directory
77 5. Had another attempt at making clients disconnect without hanging everytime.
78 6. Changed msg queuing semantics so that the system routes on exact callsign.
79 7. Changed the protocol version so that it increments with the DXSpider version.
80 14Dec98========================================================================
81 1. Made the telnet thing work a bit better. It still will not work reliably to
82 a real telnetd on port 23.
83 2. Allowed network logins on client by specifying login instead of call.
84 3. made msg handling more robust (PC30 with unknown streams cause PC42), queueing
85 is only done on channels that are in state 'normal'.
86 4. Added pc command which takes a callsign and some text and sends it without
87 mods to the callsign, useful for sending manual PC protocol to unstick things.
88 Also for sending anonymous messages to online users.
89 5. Stopped duplicate messages being stored (it receives them and then bins them)
90 6. Implemented PC49 delete/full from outside (kill full on the inside)
91 7. Implemented the client command in connect scripts so that you can have
92 different scripts for the same callsign.
93 8. Added sh/wwv command
94 13Dec98========================================================================
95 1. Fixed VS6 lat/long in prefix_data and wpxloc.raw
96 2. Sorted out last in times for remote users
97 3. editted and substitued G0RDI's version of the install instructions over
99 4. fixed telnet connections
100 5. added connect instructions to html tree.
101 6. Added some more help
103 12Dec98========================================================================
104 1. Incorporated sh/st, (un)set/lockout, forward/opername from Iain G0RDI
105 2. Added group handling with (un)set/group, show/group. This allows arbitrary
106 groups to be formed (for ann/<group> for example) and is also used to 'filter'
107 spots, announces, wwvs etc into groups of cluster nodes (useful for creating
108 disjoint cluster networks)
109 3. **** CHANGE mylongtitude to mylongitude in DXVars.pm ****
110 4. Altered QRA locator routines so they work correctly!
111 5. Fixed all commands that had the wrong mylat(itude) and mylong(itude) names
113 07Dec98========================================================================
114 1. Added set/name, set/qra, set/location, set/qth, set/homenode, set/bbs,
116 2. changed the Msg socket close to a shutdown (hopefully more reliable), this
117 should stop clients hanging on exit.
118 3. Added Alias support for help
119 4. Added lltos and stoll routines to DXBearing
120 5. Added auto prompting for name, qth, location and homenode if any of these
122 06Dec98========================================================================
123 1. Fixed DXBearing::is_qra so that it correctly detects full QRA locators
124 2. Added sh/qra for doing locator distances and bearings
125 3. Added some stuff to Notes.txt on hints for command writers
126 4. Changed help system to use just one file per language
127 5. Started adding more help
128 6. Fixed 24Mhz band limits
129 7. Added apropos command and lots of new help text
130 05Dec98========================================================================
131 1. Added sh/heading and QRA locator calculation stuff
132 04Dec98========================================================================
133 1. Started Changes file
134 2. Added load/cmd_cache.pl to clear cmd cache shortcuts (use this if cluster.pl
135 get confused about where it is getting its commands from eg if you have
136 removed a file from local_cmd 'cos you want to go back to standard one)
137 3. Fixed bull handling at least to the extent that it stores them and
138 doesn't mess up the normal directory handling.
139 4. Fixed the unset/debug command so that it actually does the job!
140 5. Removed the middle line 'written in perl for unix' from show/version.pl
