+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.
+4. A non-registered user will get the /spider/data/motd_nor file instead of
+the motd on login.
+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
