+18Nov21=======================================================================
+1. Add a dx spot cache which will store 2 days worth (configurable) of spots.
+   This is then used by the vast majority of simple sh/dx queries without 
+   using a sub process. A simple sh/dx is any sh/dx that does not have an
+   "expression" such as "sh/dx g1tlh". So "sh/dx", "sh/dx 200", "sh/mydx" will
+   always run in the main program via the cache. Certain client programs (no
+   names, no pack drill) will notice the difference immediately. It's also a
+   bit snappier.
+2. set/badspotter or set/badnode will work for RBN input. 
+3. RBN input with invalid QRGs will be dropped with a nice friendly message
+   rather than a scary exception message about multiplication thrown by one 
+   of the libraries that I use. 
+4. Added CTY-3126 prefixes.
+5. Silently ignore self spotting below 1240000Khz (change 
+   $Spot::minselfspot to 0 to disable or some other freq in Khz). NOTE this 
+   will appear as a spot to the spotter's feed, but will not be passed on.
+15Jul21=======================================================================
+1. Fix long standing bug in crontabs that commands with " rather than ' around
+   strings could cause those commands not to work. 
+2. Add CTY 3117 prefixes. 
+15Mar21=======================================================================
+1. Fix DXUtil::localdata so that it does actually prefer the latest version 
+   of a file regardless of whether it is in /spider/data or /spider/localdata.
+2. Add CTY-3105 prefixes.
+05Mar21=======================================================================
+1. Fix DXCron::spawn_cmd so that more than one spawn_cmd can be active at a 
+   time. This affects many nodes where lots of regular spawn_cmds happen at
+   a time and this prevented crucial things like 'start_connect' from working!
+2. Sort user lockout issues to cope with all likely scenarios - including 
+   "phantom" SSID working.
+3. Fix "close_gracefully" error messages which are useless, but benign. These 
+   happen (mainly) when outgoing connects timeout.
+24Feb21=======================================================================
+1. modify RBN timing arrangements
+    
+   There are two new twiddle pots:
+    
+   $limbotime (default 5*60 secs) which allows potential spots to
+   hang around longer to allow $minqual *different* skimmers to spot
+   them. At which point they are emitted. This is to catch the "slow
+   burning" spots where a call is spotted by different skimmers but
+   separated in time by more than $dwelltime - in fact maybe by
+   minutes.
+    
+   $maxqual (default 9 skimmers) which short circuits the normal
+   hard maximum $quality (9 skimmer spots) and $dwelltime (10secs)
+   to allow a spot that has $maxqual *different* skimmers (usually
+   as the result of a burst from the RBN) to defeat $dwelltime and
+   be emitted the moment that condition is satisfied. There maybe
+   a better name for this.
+21Feb21=======================================================================
+1. add data section on 160m in bands.pl.
+07Sep20=======================================================================
+1, Change interface to watchdbg & grepdbg slightly so that multiple search
+   regexes are ANDed rather than ORed together. ORing is easily achieved 
+   already by the usual regex pattern 'PATT..|PATT..|..' whereas ANDing could
+   not be done as easily without resorting lots of 'PATT.*PATH' things which
+   would not necessarily get what was wanted.
+2. Make sure that the pc92 C record only contains nodes and users and not
+   other extranoeus things like skimmers...
 15Aug20=======================================================================
 1. Simplify the skimmer scoring mechanism.
