Added msg forwarding code which uses $main::root/msg/forward.pl. +14Feb99======================================================================== +1. Changed A & K in WWV to be the other way around (I am told by G3IOR that +this will mean that we won't have pole to pole aurora nor all the power lines +overloading everywhere as well as a result of having values of K > 10). +2. allow the '~' character in message bodies. +3. Moved $main::data/badmsg.pl to $main::root/msg/badmsg.pl. +11Feb99======================================================================== +1. Fixed a problem with isolated nodes' configurations being sent on sending +local configs to new connections. +08Feb99======================================================================== +1. added a $SIG{ALRM} in the client to actually catch the alarm when it goes +off which means that the netrom/ax25 call programs terminate properly (and not +loop as fast as their little legs can paddle, soaking up CPU time). +2. Implemented read receipts as an especial request from G4PDQ. +3. Fiddled with DXUser a bit to see whether I can stop it core dumping on new +users in PC16s on his machine. +4. Added E4 (Palestine) to Prefix data. +30Jan99======================================================================== +1. Some of the dates we get can cause crashes, tried to make it more robust (oh +and Y2K compliant) +2. PC16 seem to come in with missing callsigns from somewhere +3. added $main::data/baddx.pl which prevents callsigns that are in the list being +a) forwarded b) stored and c) (except for the originator, if local) being +displayed locally. +4. added $main::data/badmsg.pl which deletes any messages whose TO address is +in this list (this is largely for european sensibilities). +18Jan99======================================================================== +1. added present(),presentish() and disconnect() to DXCron so that you can see +(easily) if a station is on the cluster anywhere and also disconnect them +locally. +2. added rcmd() to DXCron so you can send an rcmd to someone else from crontab. +3. Fixed create_sysop.pl so that longitude is spelt correctly +there as well made the update work properly. NOTE create_sysop +will only do what you expect if all cluster.pl and client.pl programs are +stopped. +4. DXCron wasn't reading in reliably on startup, this is now (hopefully) fixed. +the -M semantics are rather strange! +5. The -w switch is now standard on cluster.pl +6. Added last_connect() which gives the last connect time of a user (or now +if connected). +7. Added present_on(call, node) and presentish_on(ditto) which returns true if +the call is connected to the node. +8. incoming messages for users will now send a 'new message' message (instead +of merely generating the message)[who wrote this rubbish?]. +9. Hooked $SIG{__WARN__} and $SIG{__DIE__} so we store these nasty error +messages. +10. Print the no of users on restricted protocol links if we have had PC50 +11. Had a go at making the sh/cl stats more accurate. +12. PC11 was trying to call Local::spot1 instead of Local::spot, no warning +previously. +13. Added a simple lockfile to prevent more than one cluster running at a time +17Jan99======================================================================== +1. fixed some permission problems on DXLog. +2. There is a circumstance in DXMsg which caused the cluster to stop on an +null ref pointer which I can't get to the bottom of but have bandaided out +for now. +3. Started filter and Database code. +4. Upper cased all the TO callsigns for sending to more than one station in +messages. +07Jan99======================================================================== +1. Fixed Geomag after emacs reformatted it wrong so sh/wwv works again. +2. Added more range checking in WWV spots (they really are a heap of ...) +3. Changed create_sysop.pl so that you can update as well as create the user +file +4. Remove spotter's SSID from WWV spots +06Jan99======================================================================== +1. Do some range checking for spots and WWV in the future (got a WWV for Oct +2034 whhich caused a bit of confusion!) +2. Make WWV spots broadcast them to the users! (as opposed to merely storing +them)(thank you G0RDI). +3. Allow users to do show/announce (thank you JE1SGH). +4. Delay broadcasts to users if they are not in a 'prompt' state (means you can +add messages and see what you are doing on a busy system) +5. Made set/unset dx,ann,wx,talk,wwv do what is expected +6. added set/sys_location and set/set_qra to set the cluster lat/long and qra +7. New messages will now be announced on logon (if there are any) +03Jan99======================================================================== +1. Upped the version no !!!! +2. made the DXProtocol routines much less sensitive to '~' characters (JE1SGH) +3. added '^' -> ':' conversions on ann, talk and dx commands +4. You can now send messages containing blank lines. +5. Fixed merge command problem reported by G0RDI +28Dec98======================================================================== +1. Crossed fingers, got rid of the instabilities caused by execing programs +at vast speed (reduced it significantly anyway). +2. Personals will now move if homenode is known. +3. Added Local.pm for doing local specials +27Dec98======================================================================== +1. Various detail changes to remove some more warning with -w on +2. Added DXCron handling - you can do crontabs now. +3. Added show/program command so you can see where it is loading your .pm files +from. +4. Added pc26/27 replies to locally connected cluster's merge (pc25) requests +5. Added spotters DXCC and original cluster to Spot data files. +23Dec98======================================================================== +1. Reindented various things +2. Added missing $main::mycall on the end of outgoing PC11s (!) +3. Check that PC16/17 node calls really are nodes (AFAIAC). +22Dec98======================================================================== +1. Added brackets round callsign if not here for prompt +2. Added Iain's set/password routine +3. Fixed sh/dx problems (the xemacs indent region messed Spot.pm up!) +4. Issued 1.15 +21Dec98============= late! ==================================================== +1. fixed problem with missing DXDebug in DXProt. +2. Fixed DXDebug so that it actually works as advertised with and without +trailing \n. +3. Added deduping of WWV spots as well (at for date,time,sfi,k and i) dups +4. Replaced the 0 in "02-Dec-1998" with ' ' so it reads " 2-Dec-1998", it seems +hard to credit it but some 'programs' out there that connect to clusters have +problems with the leading '0'! +5. In the same vain, included a strictly AK1A compatible sh/heading, apparently +this is necessary for the same reason as 4. +6. Started contrib tree stored the old show/heading in contrib/g0rdi/show. +7. Because I now correctly dedupe spots and wwv (there's a hostage to fortune..) +I have added a merge command. +21Dec98======================================================================== +1. Added "issue" to the client program for 'login' connections +2. Added more docs for client program. +3. Fixed problem introduced in 1.12 where a connect locally with a callsign of +someone connected remotely would stop the cluster. +4. issue release 1.13 +20Dec98======================================================================== +1. Removed all the warnings I get with perl -w (at least for just starting the +cluster and running a few commands). +2. Added per node hop control. +3. Added some docs on how to use it and isolation +4. Made talk command more intelligent in that if the user isn't seen and the +user's last node is visible it tries the talk anyway. +19Dec98======================================================================== +1. Fixed problems with sh/rcmd (talk/ann/log) with a callsign as argument and +also made what G0RDI wanted work as well! +2. Added isolate flag to allow isolation of different networks at a gateway. +3. Changed make Makefile.PL to perl Makefile.PL in instructions +4. Copied latest instructions to html directory +5. Had another attempt at making clients disconnect without hanging everytime. +6. Changed msg queuing semantics so that the system routes on exact callsign. +7. Changed the protocol version so that it increments with the DXSpider version. +14Dec98======================================================================== +1. Made the telnet thing work a bit better. It still will not work reliably to +a real telnetd on port 23. +2. Allowed network logins on client by specifying login instead of call. +3. made msg handling more robust (PC30 with unknown streams cause PC42), queueing +is only done on channels that are in state 'normal'. +4. Added pc command which takes a callsign and some text and sends it without +mods to the callsign, useful for sending manual PC protocol to unstick things. +Also for sending anonymous messages to online users. +5. Stopped duplicate messages being stored (it receives them and then bins them) +6. Implemented PC49 delete/full from outside (kill full on the inside) +7. Implemented the client command in connect scripts so that you can have +different scripts for the same callsign. +8. Added sh/wwv command +13Dec98======================================================================== +1. Fixed VS6 lat/long in prefix_data and wpxloc.raw +2. Sorted out last in times for remote users +3. editted and substitued G0RDI's version of the install instructions over +mine in spider/html +4. fixed telnet connections +5. added connect instructions to html tree. +6. Added some more help +7. Upissued version +12Dec98======================================================================== +1. Incorporated sh/st, (un)set/lockout, forward/opername from Iain G0RDI +2. Added group handling with (un)set/group, show/group. This allows arbitrary +groups to be formed (for ann/ for example) and is also used to 'filter' +spots, announces, wwvs etc into groups of cluster nodes (useful for creating +disjoint cluster networks) +3. **** CHANGE mylongtitude to mylongitude in DXVars.pm **** +4. Altered QRA locator routines so they work correctly! +5. Fixed all commands that had the wrong mylat(itude) and mylong(itude) names +in. +07Dec98======================================================================== +1. Added set/name, set/qra, set/location, set/qth, set/homenode, set/bbs, +set/email +2. changed the Msg socket close to a shutdown (hopefully more reliable), this +should stop clients hanging on exit. +3. Added Alias support for help +4. Added lltos and stoll routines to DXBearing +5. Added auto prompting for name, qth, location and homenode if any of these +aren't known. +06Dec98======================================================================== +1. Fixed DXBearing::is_qra so that it correctly detects full QRA locators +2. Added sh/qra for doing locator distances and bearings +3. Added some stuff to Notes.txt on hints for command writers +4. Changed help system to use just one file per language +5. Started adding more help +6. Fixed 24Mhz band limits +7. Added apropos command and lots of new help text +05Dec98======================================================================== +1. Added sh/heading and QRA locator calculation stuff 04Dec98======================================================================== 1. Started Changes file 2. Added load/cmd_cache.pl to clear cmd cache shortcuts (use this if cluster.pl
