+07Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Fix odd (and old) regression dx command (line ending 59+++) '++' being the
+ culprit.
+06Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Fix filter error reporting, including incrementing concurrent error count
+ if there are actually any detected parse errors.
+2. Fix warnings on difft.
+3. Add the origin of any incoming SP if it is emailed to the recipient.
+4. Oops I accidently restored one path of the node being disconnected that I
+ fixed below (because of changes to filtering).
+04Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Fixed regression caused by too many command errors in (startup) script
+ files. This is caused by much stricter checking of commands entered both
+ by users AND scripts. If there more concurrent errors ie. greater than
+ $DXChannel::maxerrors (default 10) then that user will be disconnected.
+
+ Unfortunately this could include the $mycall (node) channel if there were
+ too many command users in the startup script. The example I looked at had
+ a load of HTML pasted into it.
+
+ For various reasons the only manifestation of this problem was that pings
+ no longer worked.
+
+ This has been fixed. I am grateful to Fulvio HB9DHG for letting me break
+ his node for an hour or so until I worked out what was going on.
+03Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Fix DXDebug::DXDebug not found errors in rarely used functions. This is
+ also an interaction with differing versions of Mojolicious. Clearly this
+ has never happened to me (sigh).
+2. Allow non-privileged users to use ping (no arguments) and get 'PONG nn'
+ where nn is an incrementing counter or if there is an argument it will
+ return 'PONG <argument>' - all in UPPER CASE. See help ping for more
+ details.
+02Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Fix sh/dx/30 problem. I.e. allow old style version of sh/dx 30.
+01Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Revert PC92 A D and PC92 C record flags back to defaults.
+2. Deal with users that send gibberish.
+3. Fix show/425 (default) URL.
+4. Improve Spot deduping.
+28Feb23=======================================================================
+1. Default ip addresses ON in PC92 C records, disable PC92 A D record output.
+2. Add CTY-3308 prefixes.
+3. Fix gen_usdb_data.pl (add missing use DXUtil), update current location of
+ official FCC databases.
+4. Remove the duplicate IP addresses across exits and relays from badip lists
+ during generation by create_master_badip_files.pl.
+14Feb23=======================================================================
+1. Attempt to be more M$ Windows compatible. This basically is to do with the
+ unfortunate fact that most of the Windows perl cannot do, or simulate
+ spawning (running another process in parallel) and/or Mojolicious cannot
+ handle coping with one or more versions of these simulations.
+
+ I don't have a windows perl available to me at moment so I can only
+ simulate running under windows by setting a variable.
+
+ You need to know that running any version of DXSpider on Windows will do
+ all long running commands in line. Much as the 'master' branch does. So
+ running large nodes on Windows boxes with versions of perl that do not
+ support running spawned processes continues to be contra-indicated. Much
+ as it has ALWAYS been.
+04Feb23=======================================================================
+1. Fixed sh/log so that callsigns beginning with a digit (or several) are
+ printed rather than being ignored.
+ This affects: show/ann, chat, log, rcmd and wx
+03Feb23=======================================================================
+1. Fix is_ipaddr to accept trailing '::' on IPV6 addresses.
+2. Fix and extend the TEST program 'showdx' so that it now works on the mojo
+ branch. Type 'showxd -?' for more information or read the source. This is
+ NOT a user program, but is will accept most sh/dx expressions.
+3. Fix create_master_badip_files.pl so that it does not emit IP addresses
+ that the system is_ipaddr() function fails.
+01Feb23=======================================================================
+1. Harden DXCIDR (badip stuff) against format errors in downloaded badip files
+ downloaded using wget from the crontab. If these problems persist PLEASE
+ TELL me and send me examples of the errors that end up in the badip files.
+30Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Add ip addresses to outgoing PC93 messages
+2. Get rid of (some of?) the uninitialised warnings
+3. Add the ability to set the (time) locale to UTC or LOCALTIME by adding
+ the string LOCALE = UTC or LOCALE = LOCAL(TIME)? to your local crontab
+
+ NOTE: this will affect ALL timings in both the system as well as your
+ local crontabs. Changing the LOCALE will make no difference to the system
+ crontab other than using localtime rather than UTC. Which is fine by me.
+
+ You can see what crontab is doing and which LOCALE is in use by doing a
+ 'set/debug cron' in a console and running a 'watchdbg cron' in another
+ shell.
+25Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Add a switch to enable the routing of generated PC92 A/D records and also
+ prevent the rebroadcast of incoming ones.
+
+ set/var $DXProt::pc92_ad_enable 0
+
+ to disable PC92 A/D records.
+2. Add a switch to enable the addition of IP addresses to PC92 C records.
+
+ set/var $DXProt::pc92c_ipaddr_enable 1
+
+ to enable the addition of IP addresses to outgoing PC92 C records.
+
+ ## These two features are experimental, but will become the default if
+ ## some other changes and these are successful
+24Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Optimise the PC11->PC61 promotion code, improve readability of the
+ debugging when 'set/debug pc11' is active.
+2. Remove spurious '$' character at the end of Listeners.pm (thanks Kin).
+3, Fix show/ik3qar command
+20Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Add the variable @main::localhost_names to allow other IP addresses to
+ be treated in the same way as localhost in item 1 on 19Jan23 below. NOTE
+ you must include ALL the normal localhost names + any other interface
+ names that you might want to include:
+
+ set/var @main::localhost_names qw(127.0.0.1 ::1 192.168.1.30)
+
+ using the qw() construction is easier than:
+
+ set/var @main::localhost_names ('127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.1.30')
+
+ but either will work. You can define as many IP addresses as you like and
+ they can be IPV4 or 6.
+
+ You do NOT need to fiddle with this unless you specifically have more
+ than just the normal definitions of localhost. So for 'normal' nodes with
+ one external interface, you DO NOT NEED TO DO ANY OF THIS.
+2. Added CTY-3304 prefix data
+3. Fix Bad IP address system so that one can carry on as normal without
+ Net::CIDR::Lite (or libnet-cidr-lite-perl on debian based systems)
+19Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Introduce aliasing for localhost in DX Spots and outgoing PC92 A records
+ on login. There are two variables which can be set with the alias to use:
+ $main::localhost_alias_ipv4
+ $main::localhost_alias_ipv6
+ These can be set in the /spider/scripts/startup, but this is only
+ necessary if the node has more than one interface, or virtual hosts. If
+ there is ONLY ONE ipv4 and/or ipv6 IP address on the node machine then
+ these variables will be automatically populated on first use. But the SAFE
+ thing to do is to set them in the startup file.
+
+ THIS FEATURE IS EXPERIMENTAL...
+18Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Make sure than *every* channel has an IP address. Thank you (I think) Kin
+ for pointing out that PC92 A records were not going out with IP addresses.
+ I'm guessing that other things (like spots) had a similar problem.
+15Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Fix strange errors for carp on missing route_*_cache files on startup.
+14Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Fixed route PC11 promotions so that a new PC61 is actually generated and
+ also sent instead of the original PC11 (to PC61 capable nodes).
+13Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Periodically store Routing tables and, if they are young enough (def: 3hrs)
+ autotically restore them on restart of the node. This will short circuit
+ the need to rebuild the routing tables from scratch on every restart -
+ which is normally for something like software update.
+2. Fix pc11 debugging stats with the correct figures. Sigh... Also move some
+ of the totals to a different place.
+3. Add show/spotstats command which gives the current spot statistics shown
+ during pc11 debugging (which means you don't need to set/deb pc11 unless
+ you really want that extra noise).
+12Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Regularise 'set/debug pc11' output to track all the routes through PC11 and
+ PC61 processing and statistics.
+11Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Improve (?) the PC11 -> PC61 upgrading process that delays incoming PC11s
+ for a very short time in the hope that a PC61 will come in to be used
+ instead. It will also upgrade a PC11 if we have an uptodate IP address
+ that has come in from the routing system PC92s. do a 'set/debug pc11' to
+ see it in action.
+2. I have chosen a definitive list of TOR exits and relays which can be
+ downloaded from http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torexit,
+ http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torrelay and finally, for those IP
+ addresses that are deemed to be 'bad':
+ http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.global. I have added the following
+ lines to my /spider/local_cmd/crontab:
+
+24 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torexit')
+24 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torrelay')
+24 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.global')
+25 * * * * run_cmd('load/badip')
+
+ The tor files are downloaded from https://lists.fissionrelays.net/tor/ at
+ 15 minutes past every hour, please would you use some other minute than
+ 23 or 24 to get your own local copies.
+
+ A 'set/debug badip' will show you what is being blocked.
+3. Fix set/badip so that it appends new IP addresses correctly.
+10Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Add baddx on incoming callsign in RBN.
+2. Search for all /spider/local_data/badip.* files to allow more control on
+ which IP addresses are detected. e.g. badip.torexit, badip.torrelay as well
+ as baddx.local. The suffixes, apart from .local (created by set/badip) are
+ completely arbitrary. You can use whichever suffix name you like. This is
+ a more useful arrangement for the ever increasing sources of "bad ip
+ addresses" that we need to deter.
+
+ NOTE: all badip.<suffix> are read only EXCEPT badip.local (which can be
+ altered in real time by the sysop using set/badip <ip address> ...).
+ If one uses periodic crontab jobs to update any other badip.<suffix>
+ files from web resources then don't forget to 'load/badip' afterwards.
+3. Add a /spider/data/baddx.issue file which can be copied to (or used as a
+ basis to create) /spider/local_data/baddx
+09Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Finish implemention of DXCIDR ip address filtering. This works on both
+ logins (treated the same as locked out - i.e. just disconnected) and also
+ with PC61s where these sentences are just dropped. Also attempt to prevent
+ any *following* PC11s with the same data getting through.
+
+ YOU WILL NEED either 'cpanm Net::CIDR::Lite' or debian/ubuntu based distros
+ 'apt install libnet-cidr-lite-perl'. RedHat based systems will have similar
+ packages available.
+
+2. Recognise PC18s coming from CC Clusters more nicely.
+04Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Fillout DXCIDR, attach checks in PC61 and logins. Login that fail will
+ simply disconnect, like locked out callsigns
+2. Fix qrz.com URL in stock Internet.pm.
+3. Fix DXHash issues (baddx, badnode, badspotter etc)
+30Dec22=======================================================================
+1. Add more BadWords (regex) checks.
01Dec22=======================================================================
1. Re-add some debugging to see which incoming PC protcol sentences are
being dumped because of any bad content (words or calls) if debugging
projects / spider.git / blobdiff
