Upped the version no !!!! +2. made the DXProtocol routines much less sensitive to '~' characters (JE1SGH) +3. added '^' -> ':' conversions on ann, talk and dx commands +4. You can now send messages containing blank lines. +5. Fixed merge command problem reported by G0RDI +28Dec98======================================================================== +1. Crossed fingers, got rid of the instabilities caused by execing programs +at vast speed (reduced it significantly anyway). +2. Personals will now move if homenode is known. +3. Added Local.pm for doing local specials +27Dec98======================================================================== +1. Various detail changes to remove some more warning with -w on +2. Added DXCron handling - you can do crontabs now. +3. Added show/program command so you can see where it is loading your .pm files +from. +4. Added pc26/27 replies to locally connected cluster's merge (pc25) requests +5. Added spotters DXCC and original cluster to Spot data files. +23Dec98======================================================================== +1. Reindented various things +2. Added missing $main::mycall on the end of outgoing PC11s (!) +3. Check that PC16/17 node calls really are nodes (AFAIAC). +22Dec98======================================================================== +1. Added brackets round callsign if not here for prompt +2. Added Iain's set/password routine +3. Fixed sh/dx problems (the xemacs indent region messed Spot.pm up!) +4. Issued 1.15 +21Dec98============= late! ==================================================== +1. fixed problem with missing DXDebug in DXProt. +2. Fixed DXDebug so that it actually works as advertised with and without +trailing \n. +3. Added deduping of WWV spots as well (at for date,time,sfi,k and i) dups +4. Replaced the 0 in "02-Dec-1998" with ' ' so it reads " 2-Dec-1998", it seems +hard to credit it but some 'programs' out there that connect to clusters have +problems with the leading '0'! +5. In the same vain, included a strictly AK1A compatible sh/heading, apparently +this is necessary for the same reason as 4. +6. Started contrib tree stored the old show/heading in contrib/g0rdi/show. +7. Because I now correctly dedupe spots and wwv (there's a hostage to fortune..) +I have added a merge command. +21Dec98======================================================================== +1. Added "issue" to the client program for 'login' connections +2. Added more docs for client program. +3. Fixed problem introduced in 1.12 where a connect locally with a callsign of +someone connected remotely would stop the cluster. +4. issue release 1.13 +20Dec98======================================================================== +1. Removed all the warnings I get with perl -w (at least for just starting the +cluster and running a few commands). +2. Added per node hop control. +3. Added some docs on how to use it and isolation +4. Made talk command more intelligent in that if the user isn't seen and the +user's last node is visible it tries the talk anyway. +19Dec98======================================================================== +1. Fixed problems with sh/rcmd (talk/ann/log) with a callsign as argument and +also made what G0RDI wanted work as well! +2. Added isolate flag to allow isolation of different networks at a gateway. +3. Changed make Makefile.PL to perl Makefile.PL in instructions +4. Copied latest instructions to html directory +5. Had another attempt at making clients disconnect without hanging everytime. +6. Changed msg queuing semantics so that the system routes on exact callsign. +7. Changed the protocol version so that it increments with the DXSpider version. +14Dec98======================================================================== +1. Made the telnet thing work a bit better. It still will not work reliably to +a real telnetd on port 23. +2. Allowed network logins on client by specifying login instead of call. +3. made msg handling more robust (PC30 with unknown streams cause PC42), queueing +is only done on channels that are in state 'normal'. +4. Added pc command which takes a callsign and some text and sends it without +mods to the callsign, useful for sending manual PC protocol to unstick things. +Also for sending anonymous messages to online users. +5. Stopped duplicate messages being stored (it receives them and then bins them) +6. Implemented PC49 delete/full from outside (kill full on the inside) +7. Implemented the client command in connect scripts so that you can have +different scripts for the same callsign. +8. Added sh/wwv command +13Dec98======================================================================== +1. Fixed VS6 lat/long in prefix_data and wpxloc.raw +2. Sorted out last in times for remote users +3. editted and substitued G0RDI's version of the install instructions over +mine in spider/html +4. fixed telnet connections +5. added connect instructions to html tree. +6. Added some more help +7. Upissued version +12Dec98======================================================================== +1. Incorporated sh/st, (un)set/lockout, forward/opername from Iain G0RDI +2. Added group handling with (un)set/group, show/group. This allows arbitrary +groups to be formed (for ann/ for example) and is also used to 'filter' +spots, announces, wwvs etc into groups of cluster nodes (useful for creating +disjoint cluster networks) +3. **** CHANGE mylongtitude to mylongitude in DXVars.pm **** +4. Altered QRA locator routines so they work correctly! +5. Fixed all commands that had the wrong mylat(itude) and mylong(itude) names +in. +07Dec98======================================================================== +1. Added set/name, set/qra, set/location, set/qth, set/homenode, set/bbs, +set/email +2. changed the Msg socket close to a shutdown (hopefully more reliable), this +should stop clients hanging on exit. +3. Added Alias support for help +4. Added lltos and stoll routines to DXBearing +5. Added auto prompting for name, qth, location and homenode if any of these +aren't known. +06Dec98======================================================================== +1. Fixed DXBearing::is_qra so that it correctly detects full QRA locators +2. Added sh/qra for doing locator distances and bearings +3. Added some stuff to Notes.txt on hints for command writers +4.
