+1. Add changes to the installation manual for Windows users from K1XX
+21Sep02=======================================================================
+1. make some detail changes for connects out in Msg.pm
+17Sep02=======================================================================
+1. Added shu command for Charlie's (K1XX) benefit (together with the rest of
+our butterfingered sysops) who miss the '/' out of sh/u frequently enough
+to curse. 'shu' simply types out a message saying 'type SHUT' to shutdown the
+node. Added 'shu' to /spider/perl/Messages. No need to restart, just
+load/mess and load/alias after doing a CVS.
+21Aug02=======================================================================
+1. added 'warc' and 'contesthf' to the regions in bands.pl (K1XX).
+20Aug02=======================================================================
+1. fix lines containing just the character '0' in messages (and console.pl)
+(K1XX).
+2. remove all newline characters from AGW data, thus treating it like a
+'normal' ax25 connection where the 'newline' convention is just carriage
+return (K1XX)
+06Aug02=======================================================================
+1. added 5.5Mhz band as '60m'.
+29Jul02=======================================================================

+18Jul02=======================================================================
+1. Make additions and changes to manuals. (g0vgs)
+16Jul02=======================================================================
+1. Add changes to the spider-web java web client. Thanks to Rene, OZ1LQH. It
+should now be easier to install and run for all systems. (g0vgs)
+11Jul02=======================================================================
+1. NP work has now started in ernest ([ed]who he?). You will need to download
+Digest::SHA1 and any dependant packages to run this release. HOWEVER tempted
+you are, please don't set/newprotocol on any nodes. It won't work.
+http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Digest/Digest-SHA1-2.01.tar.gz
+2. Make the cluster node registered on from startup (from Mark HB9DBM).
+3. Make the 'export_users' process *MUCH* more robust. It should now accept
+funny characters and not rely on an absolutely 'perfect' user file to work.
+Errors are displayed (and logged if done from the cluster) and then ignored.
+Invalid callsigns are removed.
+09Jul02=======================================================================
+1. make the is_qra more accurate (from Mark HB9DBM).
+04Jul02=======================================================================

+command to a user (from a request by Charlie K1XX).
+2. added message e31 (xxxx is not a user)

+of the data files are missing.
+25Jun02=======================================================================
+1. as predicted there was an error in the Prefix routine, I have improved it.
+24Jun02=======================================================================
+1. make set/badspotter non SSID sensitive. Set/badnode is left to be SSID
+sensitive.
+2. added 3XA(=3X) and K1B(=KH1) also changed the logic of sh/prefix. This
+may break things, please test it.
+19Jun02=======================================================================
+1. make set/badspotter and set/badnode apply to announces and talks as well
+as spots.
+12Jun02=======================================================================
+1. fixed (un)set/wwv and (un)set/wcy so they don't issue spurious messages.
+Thanks Rene (oz1lqh)
+07Jun02=======================================================================
+1. fix messages in DXDb.pm to point to the correct ones. Thanks Rene (oz1lqh)

+address (g0vgs)
+02Feb02=======================================================================
+1. changed sh/qrz to the latest incarnation of the command at qrz.com.
+29Jan02=======================================================================
+1. add VP8GEO to South Georgia
+27Jan02=======================================================================
+1. make save work in cron context
+2. try to get the C client to handle closes on its standard input better
+3. put some validation in cluster.pl to check that people have set it up
+handled.
+4. fix the long callsign checking
+22Jan02=======================================================================
+1. limit spot dupe checking to first 12 characters
+13Jan02=======================================================================

+1. put setsockopts into eval block to allow some of them to fail
+11Jan02=======================================================================
+1. Make M$ TCP connx blocking again, sigh...
+2. backed out ALL the M$ speedup and make nicer changes :-(
+3. cope with data coming in during the disconnection process. Don't worry
+Earth people, this will take no longer than 15 of your Earth seconds...
+10Jan02=======================================================================
+1. set SO_LINGER = 0 to try to prevent the system sending data on a closing
+socket. This MAY help some of the hanging problems (but I am now beginning
+to doubt this).
+2. do the same on the C client (which means DON'T FORGET to make it).
+3. set no nagling on the output from the node.
+4. set KEEPALIVE on TCP connections for both the node and C Client (you will
+have to make the C client again) and you will need to restart.
+5. It appears that it IS possible to set non blocking on M$ you just need to
+know how.
+6. Fix problem with load/cmd_cache core dumping the system

+list of commands in "<cmd>") to a file.
+7. Add a new command "echo" which echos its argument to the screen (useful
+for titling in the save command above.
+8. Increase interval between logins causing for/opernam to 60 days (from 30)
++ a random factor between 0 and 9.
+9. Added Italian translation of Messages from Luca IT9ROT (thank you
+very much).
+10. Added the /<cmd> feature (as in talk) to execute a cmd whilst typing a
+message, then enhanced it so that if you do //sh/dx (for instance) it will
+put the result into the message (as well as show it to you).
+11. Added the // feature to talk as well.
+02Jan02=======================================================================
+1. updated the copyright dates
+2. modernised and extended the Windows instructions a bit.

+the hangs.
+26Dec01=======================================================================

+1. allow sh/dx on 1000/4000 (or 1000-4000).
+2. merge sh/dx and sh/dxcc commands (Alias sh/dxcc to sh/dx dxcc). You can
+now do things like 'sh/dxcc oq2 by w dxcc'.
+20Dec01=======================================================================
+1. Fix 'not' in filtering
+2. alter default max spots to 100 and the no of WWV to 5
+17Dec01=======================================================================
+1. added new satellite stuff from Steve K9AN. Fixed upper/lower problem
+in convkeps.pl.
+2. enhanced load/keps to accept a message no. This will create a new keps
+file from a msg (hopefully containing 2 Line Nasa keps) and then load - all
+in one step. Added load/keps to the help files
+3. Updated spanish Messages
+4. Improve wcy command from Stephan DK8LV's input
+5. Added set/prompt (and unset/prompt) command so that Stephan can fool some

unread.
2. stop remote passive nodes (those with version numbers of 0000) from
poluting the nodes table. Maybe this will make things slightly more stable.
+3. Take off rspf checks on announces and spots and allow the dupe filters
+to take the strain.
+4. Move the dupe checking AFTER the input filtering for announces and spots.
+5. Changed the checking of PC19/21 that it doesn't alter the wrong node
+6. Alter the storage of messages so that illegal characters are stored as '.'
+in an attempt to stop such messages from hanging.
26Nov01=======================================================================
