+20Apr24======================================================================
+1. Try to "fix" Spot deduping (again). This is probably Work In Progress...
+2. A new(er) band.pl gratefully received from Andy G4PIQ.
+13Apr24======================================================================
+1. Fix small issue with perl 5.20 (and possibly earlier) compilation.
+27Mar24======================================================================
+1. Fix dupe PC[16]1 (spot) coming in "too fast" for dupe filter to work.
+
+ Probably.
+25Mar24======================================================================
+1. Make talk work. Note: this now works as the mojo branch originally
+ expected - which means that it may (and likely will) flood route talks
+ where the callsign that you want to talk to does not have a route to
+ both the callsign and any nodes that it may be connected to.
+22Mar24======================================================================
+1. Change the processing of trailing callsigns slightly so that /1 /2 etc are
+ retained, but the /P /M /A /MM etc are removed.
+20Mar24======================================================================
+1. Has it really been so long since the last update?
+2. Since forever, mainly because filtering was done very early on in
+ DXSpider's development, clearing a filter needed a disconnect/reconnect
+ cycle from the user/node to activate. Now clearing or changing a filter is
+ immediately effective in the current session.
+
+ Also things like: 'rej/spot user_default on vhf' will immediately apply
+ to all users that do not already have some other filter in place. Users
+ can override this by setting a filter.
+
+ The Filter system will now show the actual token that a faulty command
+ dislikes.
+3. Disable the "is there a route to callsign X3XXX" test in talk. This is a
+ legacy test that should not apply at the user level. The resulting PC93 is
+ flood routed unless there is a genuine direct route to that callsign.
+25Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Changed the default of X and Y (in item 2 below) to 27 and 20 respectively.
+24Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Restore perl regex version of is_ipaddr. This *should* allow windows
+ updates to work again.
+2. Added cmd entry rate limiting. If a user sends X commmands in Y secs then
+ they are disconnected without notice. The defaults are X
+ ($DXCommandmode::maxcmdcount) = 16 and Y ($DXCommandmode::cmdinterval) = 9.
+
+ These can be changed by the startup script.
+
+ These default values are set generously deliberately to allow certain user
+ programs to get with the program and reduce the number of cmds that they
+ issue on connection down to something reasonable. For instance, I cannot
+ see why things like name, qth, lat/long/QRA (amongst several other sticky
+ user attributes that only need to be entered once) are sent on every login.
+
+ These default values WILL reduce over time.
+23Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Fix DXCIDR brokenness introduced recently, speeded up DXCIDR::sort, allow
+ sh/badip 2a05:dfc7:402a::1 45.134.225.96 159.69.38.160 to test individual
+ IP address as well as show the default (of every badip).
+2. Speed up and be more strict with input for is_ipaddr(<ip address>).
+22Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Fix warning in DXUtil::difft.
+21Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Fix DXUtil is_ipaddr function which was accidentally included in previous
+ commit.
+2. Do not extract IP addresses to create routing info as default.
+17Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Try to nail down incoming PC92s that attempt to change the type of $myalias
+ or $mycall.
+2. Do some housekeeping with the startup and finish debugging to make the
+ order of messaging more logical. Also disable some messaging caused by
+ other errors/circumstances causing various object handles disappearing.
+3. Make sure that $mycall and $myalias are upper case (and moan about it if
+ they aren't.
+10Mar23=======================================================================
+1. I am aware that there are windows nodes out there on mojo (brave, impetuous
+ that you are) and wget is not an easy option to download badip files. So,
+ through the power of mojo I give you the new 'download' command. As it
+ stands at the moment, it will download a file from a webserver and place
+ it in /spider/local_data. If it downloads successfully, it will overwrite
+ any file with that name in /spider/local_data. Needless to say this is a
+ sysop only command.
+
+24 * * * * run_cmd('download http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torexit')
+24 * * * * run_cmd('download http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torrelay')
+24 * * * * run_cmd('download http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.global')
+25 * * * * run_cmd('load/badip')
+
+ would be an obvious use. But it can also be used to download spot, USDB
+ and other data as well. If you do use it then you will still need to
+ do a spawn_cmd in crontab for the conversion programs, but that too is
+ going to change.
+07Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Fix odd (and old) regression dx command (line ending 59+++) '++' being the
+ culprit.
+2. Allow multiple commands on one line when separated with the 2 character
+ string '\n' (sigh).
+3. Move a few init things about on startup so that more parameters are
+ scriptable.
+4. Put some debug comments before loading various caches (that might take a
+ longgggg time) and then tell people how long each cache load took. This
+ should reduce the worry that something is "wrong" when there is a delay
+ (such as searching for announces).
06Mar23=======================================================================
1. Fix filter error reporting, including incrementing concurrent error count
if there are actually any detected parse errors.
2. Fix warnings on difft.
3. Add the origin of any incoming SP if it is emailed to the recipient.
+4. Oops I accidently restored one path of the node being disconnected that I
+ fixed below (because of changes to filtering).
04Mar23=======================================================================
1. Fixed regression caused by too many command errors in (startup) script
files. This is caused by much stricter checking of commands entered both
projects / spider.git / blobdiff
