+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...
