1 27Dec98========================================================================
2 1. Various detail changes to remove some more warning with -w on
3 2. Added DXCron handling - you can do crontabs now.
4 3. Added show/program command so you can see where it is loading your .pm files
6 4. Added pc26/27 replies to locally connected cluster's merge (pc25) requests
7 5. Added spotters DXCC and original cluster to Spot data files.
8 23Dec98========================================================================
9 1. Reindented various things
10 2. Added missing $main::mycall on the end of outgoing PC11s (!)
11 3. Check that PC16/17 node calls really are nodes (AFAIAC).
12 22Dec98========================================================================
13 1. Added brackets round callsign if not here for prompt
14 2. Added Iain's set/password routine
15 3. Fixed sh/dx problems (the xemacs indent region messed Spot.pm up!)
17 21Dec98============= late! ====================================================
18 1. fixed problem with missing DXDebug in DXProt.
19 2. Fixed DXDebug so that it actually works as advertised with and without
21 3. Added deduping of WWV spots as well (at for date,time,sfi,k and i) dups
22 4. Replaced the 0 in "02-Dec-1998" with ' ' so it reads " 2-Dec-1998", it seems
23 hard to credit it but some 'programs' out there that connect to clusters have
24 problems with the leading '0'!
25 5. In the same vain, included a strictly AK1A compatible sh/heading, apparently
26 this is necessary for the same reason as 4.
27 6. Started contrib tree stored the old show/heading in contrib/g0rdi/show.
28 7. Because I now correctly dedupe spots and wwv (there's a hostage to fortune..)
29 I have added a merge command.
30 21Dec98========================================================================
31 1. Added "issue" to the client program for 'login' connections
32 2. Added more docs for client program.
33 3. Fixed problem introduced in 1.12 where a connect locally with a callsign of
34 someone connected remotely would stop the cluster.
36 20Dec98========================================================================
37 1. Removed all the warnings I get with perl -w (at least for just starting the
38 cluster and running a few commands).
39 2. Added per node hop control.
40 3. Added some docs on how to use it and isolation
41 4. Made talk command more intelligent in that if the user isn't seen and the
42 user's last node is visible it tries the talk anyway.
43 19Dec98========================================================================
44 1. Fixed problems with sh/rcmd (talk/ann/log) with a callsign as argument and
45 also made what G0RDI wanted work as well!
46 2. Added isolate flag to allow isolation of different networks at a gateway.
47 3. Changed make Makefile.PL to perl Makefile.PL in instructions
48 4. Copied latest instructions to html directory
49 5. Had another attempt at making clients disconnect without hanging everytime.
50 6. Changed msg queuing semantics so that the system routes on exact callsign.
51 7. Changed the protocol version so that it increments with the DXSpider version.
52 14Dec98========================================================================
53 1. Made the telnet thing work a bit better. It still will not work reliably to
54 a real telnetd on port 23.
55 2. Allowed network logins on client by specifying login instead of call.
56 3. made msg handling more robust (PC30 with unknown streams cause PC42), queueing
57 is only done on channels that are in state 'normal'.
58 4. Added pc command which takes a callsign and some text and sends it without
59 mods to the callsign, useful for sending manual PC protocol to unstick things.
60 Also for sending anonymous messages to online users.
61 5. Stopped duplicate messages being stored (it receives them and then bins them)
62 6. Implemented PC49 delete/full from outside (kill full on the inside)
63 7. Implemented the client command in connect scripts so that you can have
64 different scripts for the same callsign.
65 8. Added sh/wwv command
66 13Dec98========================================================================
67 1. Fixed VS6 lat/long in prefix_data and wpxloc.raw
68 2. Sorted out last in times for remote users
69 3. editted and substitued G0RDI's version of the install instructions over
71 4. fixed telnet connections
72 5. added connect instructions to html tree.
73 6. Added some more help
75 12Dec98========================================================================
76 1. Incorporated sh/st, (un)set/lockout, forward/opername from Iain G0RDI
77 2. Added group handling with (un)set/group, show/group. This allows arbitrary
78 groups to be formed (for ann/<group> for example) and is also used to 'filter'
79 spots, announces, wwvs etc into groups of cluster nodes (useful for creating
80 disjoint cluster networks)
81 3. **** CHANGE mylongtitude to mylongitude in DXVars.pm ****
82 4. Altered QRA locator routines so they work correctly!
83 5. Fixed all commands that had the wrong mylat(itude) and mylong(itude) names
85 07Dec98========================================================================
86 1. Added set/name, set/qra, set/location, set/qth, set/homenode, set/bbs,
88 2. changed the Msg socket close to a shutdown (hopefully more reliable), this
89 should stop clients hanging on exit.
90 3. Added Alias support for help
91 4. Added lltos and stoll routines to DXBearing
92 5. Added auto prompting for name, qth, location and homenode if any of these
94 06Dec98========================================================================
95 1. Fixed DXBearing::is_qra so that it correctly detects full QRA locators
96 2. Added sh/qra for doing locator distances and bearings
97 3. Added some stuff to Notes.txt on hints for command writers
98 4. Changed help system to use just one file per language
99 5. Started adding more help
100 6. Fixed 24Mhz band limits
101 7. Added apropos command and lots of new help text
102 05Dec98========================================================================
103 1. Added sh/heading and QRA locator calculation stuff
104 04Dec98========================================================================
105 1. Started Changes file
106 2. Added load/cmd_cache.pl to clear cmd cache shortcuts (use this if cluster.pl
107 get confused about where it is getting its commands from eg if you have
108 removed a file from local_cmd 'cos you want to go back to standard one)
109 3. Fixed bull handling at least to the extent that it stores them and
110 doesn't mess up the normal directory handling.
111 4. Fixed the unset/debug command so that it actually does the job!
112 5. Removed the middle line 'written in perl for unix' from show/version.pl
