+24Oct01=======================================================================
+1. added (un)set/register, show/registered commands which when a 'set/var
+$main::reqreg = 1' is done in the startup script will require users to 
+be 'registered' in order for them to have 'write' access to the node. Non-
+registered users will only be allowed to TALK or SEND PRIVATE to the cluster
+sysop callsign.
+2. Added password interrogation to the ExtMsg connections. If a user comes
+in via telnet and this is being done with the internal listener and a pass-
+word has been set for that user - he will be asked for it. You can force 
+a password interrogation (for ALL users) with a 'set/var $main::passwdreq = 1'
+in the node's startup script. It is anticipated that if you are using
+registration you will also issue passwords to those registered users.
+3. set/password has been changed so that users already with passwords can 
+change them.   
+19Oct01=======================================================================
+1. Allow DELETE (0x7f) for backspace in console.pl
+2. redo prefix table using latest cty.dat
+14Oct01=======================================================================
+1. Add the shortform SH/ST like display to sh/user <call> to make it more
+AK1A compatible (G0RDI+G4PDQ pace).
+12Oct01=======================================================================
+1. make del nnn delete messages again (fix system Aliases file)
+2. substr the subject so that the dup works for stuff coming back via AK1A
+09Oct01=======================================================================
+1. change Aliases to allow shutdown as a command again. If you have changed
+/spider/cmd/Aliases and you update from CVS you may find it better to remove
+this file and then do another 'cvs update'. Otherwise you may get conflicts
+and the Aliase file will not load properly. The cvs update will recreate 
+the (now) missing file.
+2. Remove the 'please don't use XXXX on here' messages to prevent people
+from exploring the 'bad words space'. Three bad words will still disconnect
+without warning. 
+3. Sending dx spots/announces with bad words will succeed - but only back to
+the sender. These two mods are designed to annoy the perpitrators of the
+sort of filth as much as possible whilst not inconveniencing 'normal' users.
+4. Add expunge feature to kill. Deleting messages now marks a msg for 
+deletion two days hence. To have the old behaviour, do a 'kill exp' or use
+the standard alias "expunge". This will cause the message to be deleted at
+the next queue message cycle.
+5. Put in prototype echo handling for direct connections using ExtMsg and
+Listeners.pm.
+6. fix msgs to g1tlh-2 (as opposed to g1tlh)
+04Oct01=======================================================================
+1. allow a residence time of (default) 2 days before actually deleting a msg.
+2. reduce the number R: lines on a bull from a bbs to 2 (the origin and the
+last port of call).
+3. ignore deleted messages for queuing purposes
+4. store deleted status across restarts!
+5. make callsign checking more rigorous
+6. dup check PC49 (kill full)
+7. improved the regex matching of badwords (more efficient, better coverage)
+8. added default badword and badw_regex tables (as .issue files) which will
+activate unless there is one there already. It will NOT overwrite an existing
+file - so if you change it your changes will remain intact.
+03Oct01=======================================================================
+1. don't allow @WWW to become a 'TO' field...
+2. handle @gb7tlh.#35.eu type addresses as well
+02Oct01=======================================================================
+1. fixed the 'ever lengthening msg' syndrome and probably made the whole
+thing more reliable at the same time.
+2. do some restructuring of the msg system and upissue the version no.
+3. fix @xxxx syntax for bbs input
+01Oct01=======================================================================
+1. made login info not the default
+2. change the looping protoection for PC16/17/19/21 and also be more rigorous
+in who we accept which PC16/17/21's from.
+3. fix MAJOR disconnect bug introduced accidentally in the NP work.
+4. Try each badword with an S on the end as well and also check for 'f.u   c'
+type things as well (this only works for a few wellknown english ones).
+5. Go back to the old way of caching commands (but without the silly warnings
+because I know better what I am doing now). This allows symbolic debugging
+of commands again without coredumps. Hurrah!
+6. Add badword handling for messages. Users will get rude messages back if
+they try to send naughty words in msgs. Incoming messages with badwords will
+be dropped on receipt and their contents logged.
+7. and if you swear 3 or more times you are unceremoniously logged out.
+30Sep01=======================================================================
+1. made some small bug fixes in rspf checking and also messages. 
+23Sep01=======================================================================
+1. I have incorporated Steve's (K9AN) lastest sh/sun and sh/moon stuff which
+copes much better with some of the end effects that occur in these calc-
+ulations. You can now also see up to a year into the past or future. The 
+results compare favourably with the US Naval Obs (unlike certain other
+software's output which "I would not want to use their results to aim my 
+moon rocket..."). It also fixes some ambiguity about which day the results
+are actually for.
+21Sep01=======================================================================
+1. fix set/lockout so that it is possible to lock out all SSIDs except those
+specifically unlocked and so that you don't need to lock the non-SSID call in
+order to lock an SSID call. So set/lock g1tlh will lock out all instances of
+g1tlh, g1tlh-1, g1tlh-15 etc except (for instance) unset/lock g1tlh-9.
+2. show/lock allows partial callsign matching so sh/lock gb7 will only show
+GB7* calls that are locked.
+3. Had a grand shift around for the start of NP.
+19Sep01=======================================================================
+1. put in some rudimentory rsfp checking for various things
+2. tried to do some fixes on console.pl - YOU WILL REQUIRE Curses 1.06 from
+CPAN (perl -MCPAN -eshell, then at cpan> install Curses). 
+17Sep01=======================================================================
+1. Fixed help and apropos commands so that they default to english if
+the language is not english and help in the 'not english' language isn't
+available.
+2. added some help text for sh/newc.
+15Sep01=======================================================================
+1. released 1.48
+2. found 1st bug, fixed unset/logininfo reseting itself after logout 
+14Sep01=======================================================================
+1. added the start of script files on login/startup. You can now add 
+commands (for example to set variables) to a file called 
+/spider/scripts/startup. You can also put in scripts for a callsign which
+will be executed when that callsign logs on. A sample script is in the
+directory (you did remember to do cvs update -d?). User settable versions
+of this will happen when the general mechanism for doing that is available.
+2. Added set/unset/anntalk commands. If you unset/anntalk then you will
+no longer see many of the of talk like announces. Unfortunately you may
+miss the odd useful one as well (but since everything is repeated many times
+you probably won't :-)
+3. centralise the invalid callsign check so that g1tlh1 and similar calls
+will not be allowed to login anymore.
+4. Fiddle with the lockout mechanism so that set/login g1tlh also locks out
+g1tlh-1 -> g1tlh-15 UNLESS one of these is specifically unlocked.
+5. Make sh/log only show stuff that sh/ann, sh/talk, sh/rcmd doesn't.
+6. Make the scripts look for user and node_default files if there isn't a 
+more specific one.
+7. add the blank command which prints nn blank lines (default 1), this cmd
+can also print lines of characters: see help for examples.
+13Sep01=======================================================================
+1. did some work on making talk more intelligent and fixed a>b problem.
+2. fixed a nasty problem on input when being hit with full buffers of 
+data (eg at init time with large lists of node/users on fast links).
+3. fixed realtime input filter changing.
+4. added announce->talk conversion for routable calls when announces of the
+form 'to g1tlh hello', 't g1tlh hello'  or 'g1tlh hello' appear. 
+This also suppresses similar announces for users whose callsign is not the 
+one in the announce.
+5. Change the badwords interface to be the same as baddx, badspotter et al.
+added set/badword, unset/badword and show/badword. This routine will auto
+convert (and delete afterwards) the old badwords file. 
+6. fix intermittant bullitin mail forwarding?
+11Sep01=======================================================================
+1. added IP address logging of connections
+10Sep01=======================================================================
+1. clear/* node_default and user_default now work.
+2. in acc or rej/* you can now use (comma separated) prefixes as well as lists
+of numbers for things like *_dxcc, *_itu and *_cq (eg: by_dxcc ve,w); just
+remember that countries like ve and w have lots of zones and itus!
+3. Added all the clear/* commands to help and added some comments about 2.
+4. All filters (including *_default ones) are now reinstalled on channels in
+realtime, so changing a filter does NOT require a disconnect and reconnect
+cycle anymore. 
+09Sep01=======================================================================
+1. Add show/dxstats command
+2. Add show/hfstats command
+3. Add show/vhfstats command
+4. Add show/hftable command
+5. Add show/vhftable command (BE WARNED, the first time you run one of these
+commands it will take some considerable time to complete, thereafter it will
+be a lot faster).
+08Sep01=======================================================================
+1. Update the sgml docs on filtering a bit.
+06Sep01=======================================================================
+1. prevent nodes appearing as users from incoming PC16s
+2. Change ping averaging to be like TCP and become a smoothed RTT.
+3. Make all the Prompts in stat/* like output appear in alphebetical order
+4. Fix problem with 17m spots not appearing in sh/dx
+5. pump up eph dups everytime they re-occur and increase life to 180 secs
+04Sep01=======================================================================
+1. add delete/user command
 03Sep01=======================================================================
 1. make spot dups look back 5 mins.
 2. strip the top off each character in any text field of a Spot for duping.

 7. Improve stat/route_node and stat/route_user for diagnostics.
 8. strip top bit of comments in ann/spots.
 9. fix the announce filtering problem.
+10. Fix the double announcement of node disconnections?
 01Sep01=======================================================================
 1. Change build number calc (hopefully for the last time)
