+1. Simplify the skimmer scoring mechanism.
+13Aug20=======================================================================
+1. Improve the (displayed) RBN frequency weighting the skimmers' frequencies
+   w.r.t majority view on each spot. Any skimmer that disagrees with a 
+   gets docked a 'point' from their 'good' score (if any) and have a 'point'
+   added to their 'bad' score. This score is then taked into account during
+   the 'choosing the real frequency' process. If a skimmer agrees with the
+   majority the process is reversed. To see this in action: set/deb rbnskim
+06Aug20=======================================================================
+1, Add CTY-3013 Prefixes
+2. Make RBN more efficient. Start the process of skimmer node performance 
+   caching. Add minimum quality allowed (at 2), which will be overrideable.
+   The format of the rbn_cache has changed and so a full restart will occur.
+3. Collect channel input/output stats. New command: show/data_stats to show
+   them. 
+4. Add local::lib qw{/spider/perl5lib} to store cpanm loaded modules just for
+   DXSpider. This is done so that updates needed by future changes can be done
+   as the sysop user and doesn't have to be done as root. This paves the way
+   for UPDATE.pl which will pull down new modules that it needs automatically.
+   When it's written, which will be soon. 
+29Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Add show/rbn command that allows one to see who is online and configured
+   for RBN. See help sh/rbn for details.
+2. Fixed issue with set/ve7cc mode adding unwanted newlines to output.
+3. Attempted to make the QRG normalisation more "intelligent". This would be
+   sooooooooo much easier if skimmers were calibrated more accurately.
+4. Added CTY-3012 prefixes.
+23Jul20=======================================================================
+1. fix Filtering so that it does less of what it was doing badly, thus 
+   the perl interpreter to do more of the work. Which means you *should* be
+   able to define  more or less any allowable operation for that type of 
+   filter. Which is a complicated way of saying: you can now use brackets.
+2. Regex expressions now appear as readable text in sh/filter.
+3. Make the RBN status file JSON, rather than DD format. In future versions
+   it will also be VERSIONed to enable more features to be added 
+   transparently.
+4. Add show/rbn command to allow sysops to see who is using rbn.
+11Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Fix (embarrassing) gratuitous '#'s in bands.pl
+2. IMPORTANT: certain PC92 strings can crash DXSpider if the nologchan debug
+   category is set (which reduces debug files to sizes that non-developers can
+   reasonably store (especially during big contests)),
+10Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Fix console.pl permissions problem when running as another user not in 
+   debug mode. Console.pl WILL NOT WORK in debug mode unless it is running
+   as the sysop user.
+08Jul20=======================================================================
+1. "Finish" the RBN system :-)
+2. This includes enabling the coarse selection of spot modes using set/wantrbn
+   with arguments like 'set/wantrbn cw beacon'. This limits your output to
+   just CW, BCN and DXF modes.  
+3. The RBN spot is now cached. With a following wind, this means that even a
+   node restart, done in a timely fashion (within a few minutes) will not
+   cause a "cache warmup" delay for users on a restart.
+4. Added the "full fat" set/wantrbn command and aliased it to 'set/skimmer'. 
+   I use both terms (whenever I remembered) in the help text.
+5. Help text has been written.
+6. The UPGRADE.mojo file has been tweeked to point out the users file format
+   change.
+7. Merge in users.v3j to the mojo branch.
+8. Add CTY-3011 prefixes.
+07Jul20=======================================================================
+1. Fix show/node command.
+2. Fix show/cluster command to take into account the presence of skimmer nodes
+   which are a new category of thing which is neither a node nor a user.
 06Jul20=======================================================================
 1. Add RBN.mojo with information of the RBN capabilities of DXSpider.
