----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below are the changes, updates and/or features added to this release
of D'Bridge. If you are upgrading D'Bridge, PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS DOCUMENT ENTIRELY. Failure to read the release notes is the number one
cause of "problems".
 
Version 2.92 - November 10th 2007
---------------------------------
 
WARNING: This release makes a fundimental change to the Echomail processor
         including changes to XMAIL and the internal message editor, and
         fundimental changes to the Nodelist Compiler. Please backup
         accordingly and test very carefully.
 
This is a major release which introduces the ability to compile nodelists
designed with MAKENL amongst Fidonet along with major fixes to DBUTIL PURGE
and several other corrections.
 
- The Nodelist Compiler should now properly process and compile Nodelist
  segments amongst the recent switchover events in Fidonet.
 
- DBUTIL PURGE has been redesigned to purge-out old messages first, instead
  of just "randomly purging".
 
- This is a release that has a minor fix that has shown to improve the way
  Echomail is imported by 3rd-party software that tosses mail to BBS's,
  for any areas that use Fido *.MSG storage. In each Echomail directory
  that uses Fido *.MSG storage, a file is written to keep track of the last
  message read by the editor or "tossed" by the D'Bridge Echomail
processor.
  This is simply known as a "last-read pointer". This pointer may also be
  used by BBS or 3rd-party software that manipulates Fido *.MSG directories.
  Since the very beginning of D'Bridge, this file is called 1.MSG. Its the
  infamous "Ignore this message; used for internal Echomail
processing" text.
 
  For example, Searchlight by Frank LaRosa / Telegraphix uses SLMAIL to
  import Fido mail into the BBS, Renegade uses either Renemail or CDRMAIL to
  import messages. I'm sure there are others that I just don't know about.
  When you are using such software, sometimes those programs may get
  "confused" and think that 1.MSG is actually a message, when in fact its
  just there to keep track of the last message in the area. The result would
  be that the message gets imported into your BBS software anyway. So, only
  change the filename if this is the case and you're having problems.
 
  I understand that the fix in this release is probably many years too late
  but this issue has finally been resolved in D'Bridge thus making it
  compatible with most 3rd-party software that handles Fido *.MSG format.
 
- A new search/replace field for the Forward-To lines has been added
  to the GLOBAL CHANGE command in DBUTIL.
 
- A minor correction to DBUTIL RENUM and RENUMDATES has been done for
  stability reasons.
 
- A somewhat serious problem has been solved in the Web Processor (DBUTIL
  PROCESSWEB) where large messages were not being handled properly.
 
- The Setup Wizard has been corrected to NOT overwrite any Web templates
  for DBUTIL and Anti-SPAM configuration files for SOUPGATE.
