v0.70.0     06-Jun-2004 - 26-Oct-2004.

        upgrade:
                If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 
0.60.0
                If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 
0.60.0
                (That was twice).
                Don't forget to backup /opt/mbse and all fle areas!

                Check if /opt/mbse/var/msgs is empty before using this 
version.
                Make sure that /opt/mbse/queue is empty, then close the
                bbs with "mbstat close wait".
                Kill mbtask, "kill `/sbin/pidof mbtask` might work.
        Now you may do the upgrade with "make install" as root. This
        order is important because the files database moves to a new
                location (~/var/fdb). Some other directories move too.
        Now you may start the bbs again.

                Start "mbsetup", enter 1, global setup, leave and
save".
                Run "mbfile check" and then "mbfile
index". This fixes the
                thumbnails if supported by your system.
                Update all maintenance scripts to change the semafore 
directory
                to ~/var/sema.

                If you compiled with ./configure --enable-newsgate you may
                need to erase the newsgroup names in the echomail areas you
                don't want to gate to news.

                In mbsetup menu 1.14 update the TCP/IP connection details.

                In the english txtfiles and menus the doors menu and screens
                are updated for the newer doors setup, you might want to
                upgrade or use them as examples.
                In the examples directory type "make macros" to update the
                macro templates. Be carefull if you have personalized 
versions.
                To reinstall the corrected macro templates go into the 
examples
                directory and type "make macros".

                In mbsetup menu 1.7 check the new items 15, 16 and 17.

                If you want to switch running doors as user instead of via 
sudo
                then read doors.html and follow the instructions.

                If you have BBBS uplinks and use automatic uplink requests 
then
                change the setup of these nodes in screen 7.10.


        general:
                Added compile directive for full newsgate. If this switch is
                used then mbfido behaves like it did upto version 0.50.0 and
                mbnntp is disabled.
                Added define for nodelist line length for all programs.
                Added -fno-strict-aliasing switch to gcc to prevent some
                warnings.
                With the newer versions of dosemu running doors as user 
finally
                works. To migrate you need to read doors.html.
                Changed security of most directories and files to allow only
                bbs users.
                In SETUP.sh better xinetd.d system detection.
                On Linux SETUP.sh adds user mbse to group wheel and uucp.
                SETUP.sh adds disabled telnet service to inetd.conf or xinetd.

        libmbse.a:
                In nodelist.conf changed the order of fields to search for ip
                information, field 8 before field 6.
                Added a new keyword 'ipprefix' in nodelist.conf to define a
                table with IP prefixes to use in field 6.
                When files are attached that should "leave" after sent (not
                truncated or removed) they are now prepended with the {at}
                character instead of no character. This is compatible with
                ifcico but not with other mailers, but should do no harm
                because most mailers only look for the ^ and # characters.
                Fixed function to return full 5d address in the outbound when
                the address is in a different zone then our own zone.
                The socket_connect function now sets the global nodenumber 
from
                the reply of mbtask.

        libnodelist.a:
                Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
                Fixed IP port override if there is a port added to a protocol.
                Removed some debug logging.

        libmsgbase.a:
                If a message area becomes empty after a pack, all lastread
                pointers are reset to zero.
                Removed debug logmessage from jamPack.

        libdbase.a:
                Removed some debug logging from files database module.
                The files database is moved from ~/fdb to ~/var/fdb.
                Added debug logging to dbfdb to find the problem with not
                cleaned magic aliases.
                Fixed a problem with the files database were the temp file 
used
                for sorting and inserting files didn't close the temp file.
                Changed method of inserting new files so that old magic names
                are really cleared.

        mbcico:
                Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
                In the binkp driver, when files were found to transmit and
                didn't exist anymore, they are not added to the list of files
                to sent but are marked as already transmitted so they will
                be removed from the .flo file. Also, after a successfull
                session .flo files with all files marked as transmitted are
                removed. With nodes that were marked crash, this will prevent
                continuous calling.
                Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.
                Changed binkp IsDoing info.
                Removed a little debug logging.

        mbout:
                Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
                Code cleanup for nodelist processing.
                Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.

        mbfido:
                Added compile directive for full newsgate.
                Removed logmessage in addpkt function.
                Added code to un_attach files during tic import that are
                deleted from the system by replace, or keep # magic actions,
                but also for files with the same name that are replaced.
                Removed debug logging from toberep function since all problems
                are solved.
                In rfc2ftn added check for ".\n" to change to
" .\n" instead 
of
                only check for ".\r\n".
                Added support for *.msg files. If any are found, they are
                processed and put in a netmail area. From there the mbfido 
scan
                function is automatic called so that the message is sent out 
or
                stays in the area if it has a local destination. File attaches
                are supported. Note that this is not a gate, only put *.msg
        files in that directory that originate from one of your own
        aka's.
                Fixed logging of 0 articles in scannews.
                With the command "mbfido areas" without the -q
option the user
                must confirm this action.
                For netmails to uplinks for areamgr/filemgr changes, the wrong
                password was used.
                In large areamgr/filemgr responses each 2048 bytes was an 
extra
                 inserted.
                No help was displayed when no valid command was given.
                Echomail for non-existing areas now finally is stored in the
                badmail area.
                Echomail received from not connected nodes is stored in the
                badmail area unless the area allowes it.
                Can now send (hopefully) valid uplink requests to BBBS 
systems.
                Removed some debug logging from un_attach, made one into a
                normal logmessage.
                The postemail and scanemail functions are changed so that
                Outlook email addresses are parsed so that we can reply via
                smtp.
                During scan the Msg_Read function is now called with a width
                of 79 characters instead of 78. This fixes the missing address
                on Origin lines of 79 characters long.
                The *.msg function now uses Fgets instead of fgets to read the
                message.

        mbmsg:
                With te post command, the right number of commandline options
                is checked, if this is wrong the help message is displayed.
                If a message is posted in a local area, no echomail.jam is
                updated and the mailout semafore is not set.
                Added checks in the mbmsg post command if the To parameter has
                the correct syntax for netmail and all other areas.
                Will now return a non-zero error if the post() function
                failed.
                Fixed counter in logfile that should show the number of linked
                messages.
                With the post command a check is done to see if the input file
                has a tearline and origin line, if not mbmsg will add these
                lines, else the lines of the input file are used.

        mbfile:
                The filenames in the html pages are now the long filenames.
                This fixes download problems with some mangled 8.3 filenames.
                Fixed a bug where "mbfile k p i" didn't give the
help screen.
                The html index now uses html named character entities on the
                area names on the main index page.
                With html index creation if the convert program for the
                thumbnails failed, the html pages were wrong.
                The thumbnails were created from the 8.3 name but the url was
                created to the LFN. Depending on the settings of your apache
                server you would see the thumbnails or not.
                The check for wrong thumbnails changed from LFN to 8.3 names.
                Updated to use the new files database location.

        mbindex:
                Code cleanup for nodelist processing.
                Added a extra check to see if nodelist datalines are valid to
                prevent segfaults on Skynet nodelists.
                Does finally compile a username index.
                Fixed compiling pointlists where on the Boss line when there
                is no last comma on the line.

        mbdiff:
                Added EOF character as last character in the new created list.

        mbaff:
                In newfiles and filefind reports with the tty info lines, also
                display TCP/IP connection details.

        mbstat:
                In the wait function the semafore directory was scanned direct
                instead of using the library functions.

        mbsebbs:
                Added user{at}domain login for pop3 mailboxes.
                If pop3 login fails, the bbs won't hang.
                If a users homedirectory doesn't exist, a correct error 
message
                is displayed and logged.
                If a user replied to a email and the system was in Own
                maildomain mode, the From address was changed to the Fidonet
                style address instead of Unix address.
                When a netmail reply is done to a node without a valid address
                we ask the user if he wants to continue.
                Changed menu logging.
                The exec_nosuid function for doors now also has a extra small
                delay just like all other execute functions to prevent 
problems
                on fast machines.
                Added extra fflush in quickscan mail.
                When calling the external editor, the fromaddress if available
                is given to joe.
                In Quick_Bye reset all signal handlers to prevent that die() 
is
                called in case something goes wrong during Quick_Bye.
                The fake nodenumber is now obtained from mbtask instead of a
                count of tty line records so the used nodenumbers will be a 
lot
                lower then before.
                Changed Msg_Read from 78 to 79 characters.
                In menu the semafore directory was scanned direct instead of
                using the library functions.

        mbnewuser:
                Made questions for screenlen, newmail check and newfiles check
                dependant of settings in the setup.
                During program exit, it tried to remove the wrong socket to
                mbtask.

        mbnntp:
                If compiled in full newsmode, this program acts like a dummy.

        mbuser:
                Fixed permissions.

        mbtask:
                Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
                Added defaults for questions for screenlen, newmail check and
                newfiles check.
                Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.
                When calling mbcico the address passed is now 5d.
                Tried to call nodes during ZMH or during a Tyx window when 
mail
                was on hold.
                The comm protocol reply to the AINI command now contains a 
fake
                node number.
                The magic filenames directory is moved from ~/magic to
                ~/var/magic.
                The semafore directory is moved from ~/sema to ~/var/sema.
                When shutting down on UPS semafore "upsdown", the log was
                garbled.
                When shutting down on an external event and there were users
                online, mbtask did not wait.

        mbsetup:
                In mail and files group edit screens, to make an area active
                existing connections check is skipped.
                If a node record is deleted, the outbox and directory paths
                are removed as well if they are empty.
                Added user{at}domain login for pop3 servers in screen 1.12.
                Added compile directive for full newsgate to prevent newsgroup
                name creation in default compiled mode.
                When editing files, after leaving a file record the file range
                displayed stays around the last area.
                If a message area is deleted and a rulefile is present, this
                rulefile is deleted too.
                When a new golded.inc file is written, only fidonet records
                that are active are written.
                When a file area is deleted, the file path wasn't removed.
                In menu 2, added 3 checks to see if enough info is entered to
                make a valid network setup.
                Changed in menu 1.14 some labels and help messages for TCP/IP
                global settings.
                In menu 1.7 added 3 new items to ask new users for screenlen,
                newmail check and newfiles check.
                Changed nodes screens to have a separate uplink managers setup
                screen, and added switches for BBBS uplinks.
                If the convert program is found and was not found before, the
                defaults are set in menu 1.15.6.
                The files database is moved from ~/fdb to ~/var/fdb.
                The magic filenames directory is moved from ~/magic to
                ~/var/magic.
                The semafore directory is moved from ~/sema to ~/var/sema.
                In user setup, if user gets a new security level, his 
timelimit
                is updated with your permission to the new levels.

        examples:
                Changed the macro templates for filefind and newfiles.
                Fixed 2 spelling errors in the dutch macro templates.
                Fixed another spelling error in the filemgr.help template of
                all languages.

        script:
                Fixed NetBSD init script reload command.
                Changed bbsdoor.sh, it now hase a variable pointing to the dos
                directory.
                Created runvirtual.sh, this replaces rundoor.sh for old 
systems
                that run doors using the obsoleted sudo method.
                Rewrote rundoor.sh for running dosemu with user privileges.
                Changed all locations for dosemu so that we run in the mbse
                environment with privileges of the user running the door.
                In the editor script (that calls joe) made a fix for screens
                wider then 80 characters. Also fixed the joe path if it should
                run in emacs mode. Added FromAddress in the header.
                Changed all init and maint scripts to move the semafore
                directory from ~/sema to ~/var/sema.

        lang:
                Added language prompts 26 and 27.
