[<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
298)  MCI codes are now CASE SENSITIVE!   This is in preparation for
      EVEN MORE MCI CODES to be added!  Make sure yours are properly
      capitalized!

299)  The full screen editor has been revamped for a fair speed improvement,
      full avatar support, and the removal of the ESC key (necessary for
      speed improvement).   The / key will still bring up the command
      line.

300)  The QWK system now displays running statistics of the mail it's
      gathering, updated every 3 seconds.

301)  The QWK system now creates NEWFILES.DAT, which is a complete
      listing of all the new files available on the system for use
      with the QWK readers.

302)  All Network addresses are now input via one universal routine
      that allows the input in a more normal format rather than
      inputting the zone, then the network, then the node number,
      then the point number.

303)  Internal netmail!   The new Renemail along with this version
      of Renegade will import your netmail into your email.  You
      can reply to it; you can enter new netmail.  There is an
      ACS for netmail access.  Under Network configuration, you
      can set the default netmail attributes.   When Renemail
      scans in netmail, it will search for a match in with the
      user's system name (not real name), if not found, it will
      send the netmail to user #1.

304)  A conversion program is necessary for this version. RGUPDATE.

305)  The REMOVE and MOVE file cmdkeys have been NUKED.  You can
      now VERIFY, REMOVE, and MOVE files all with the FILE EDIT
      command.  Plus, when validating files, you can now MOVE,
      REMOVE, and edit them!

306)  Renemail should now work MUCH better at importing/exporting
      ANSI netmail and echomail messages.

307)  You can edit email when reading global.

308)  You can move email messages addressed to you into message bases.

309)  New coloring system:  |xx where xx is between 0 and 255.

310)  Two new optional files, READHLP1 and READHLP2 added. See optional
      file descriptions below.

311)  The list messages function now will display a number of messages
      more appropriate per each user's screen, rather than just 15
      messages, period.

312)  Offline QWK conference configuration SHOULD work now.

313)  Renegade now supports the 52 line version of DOOR.SYS

314)  Many of the WFC problems have been fixed.

315)  You can now have Generic menus with only one column.

316)  Further tweaking of i/o routines has improved output speeds
      by 19.4% (measured locally).

317)  New low level i/o methods have improved high speed transmissions
      a noticable (but not accurately measurable) amount.  You'll best
      notice it by observing your flow control going into overtime
      while reading messages, etc, at high speed.

318)  Added an Internet flag for message bases. When active, the user
      cannot address the message, and the message will be sent to ALL
      for compatibility with Internet.

319)  Added MSGLIST.* which can be displayed in place of the internal
      message base listing.

320)  Added FILELIST.* which can be displayed in place of the internal
      file base listing.

321)  Added CONFLIST.* which can be displayed in place of the internal
      conference listing.

322)  File viewing will automatically expand partial file names with
      wild cards.

323)  Offline mail system now displays compressed packet size.

324)  Renegade will FINALLY restrict access to the first message
      and file bases, even to new users. :)   You should all be
      able to move your SysOp file dirs back to dir #1.

325)  New cmdkeys, DP drop for a door and create a PCBOARD.SYS
      file.  However, this has barely been tested.

326)  A new 4 line SysOp window makes it's debut. The colors are
      kindof bland, and I welcome suggestions (hint hint!) in
      the form of .ANS files.

327)  You can now define a door interface file path for each
      node;  door interface files (DORINFO1, PCBOARD.SYS, etc)
      will be written there.

328)  The sysop can now reply to email when he's reading ALL
      email.

329)  The new |xxx coloring system will now change colors instantly
      when you actually type in the color code, just like the P
      color changes.

330)  Renegade should now work fine with directories of any attributes
      (i.e. hidden, system, etc).

331)  You can upload messages from remote in the full screen editor.
      Theoretically.  I haven't tested it much. :)

332)  You can now do an internal file listing while editing a file.

333)  @N mci is now "Node number" in Archive command lines.

334)  The QWK system should now put all base names they have access
      to into the QWK packet so they can do offline configuration.

335)  Renemail will no longer make echomail with netmail attributes.

336)  Due to popular demand, the message packing funtions have been
      totally rewritten.  They should be significantly faster.

337)  A slight inconsistency in the message storage method requires
      the use of RGMFIX to upgrade to this version.

338)  Network aka's are handled totally differently.  They are defined
      in the network configuration section.   You must reconfigure your
      echo bases; you will now select one of your predefined AKA's
      to use for that base.

339)   Renemail will now only import netmail addressed to one of your
       defined Network addresses.

340)   Renemail's command line options will now work in any order,
       and much more reliably.

341)   Renemail now has the optional -D parameter which tells it NOT to
       delete incoming netmail as it's imported into Renegade.
       Otherwise, it will purge netmail as it's tossed.

342)   All cmdkeys starting with - will now work in the shuttle menu
       without prompting for a user name.

343)   Renegade will now send a short message to a user when he receives
       file points via the reward system.

344)   Co-SysOps can now hit "U" while reading public messages to enter
       the user editor and edit the author of the current message.

345)   The "ND" cmdkeys allow the sysop to hangup a user on another node,
       and optionally recycle that node.

346)   Renemail has been optimized a bit more for performance.

347)   The disk free space indicator on the WFCMENU now displays free
       space on ALL hard disks combined.

348)   The cmdkeys NS have been added.  NS will send a message to another
       node.

     Cmdkeys: NS
     What it does: Send a message to another node
     Options: [<node number>] [; <message to send>]
     Example Options: 2;Someone has logged on node 1!
     Aditional Information:
         If no options are specified, the current user will be prompted
         for the node to send the message to, and the message to send
         that node.  When an option string is specified, MCI codes will
         be translated.  A good example of a use of this would be the
         following setup which would announce to node 2 whenever someone
         logged on a node:

         Options: 2;@A just logged on to node 1!

         This command will also give users a way to send one line messages
         to other users on other nodes, perhaps to intice them into chatting.

349)  User macros have been removed.   RGUPDATE must be run. Your users
      file will shrink by approximately 33%.

350)  The sysop can now define 4 Sysop Macros: ALT-A through ALT-D. Define
      them in the System Variables configuration.

351)  For simplicity's sake, %B in protocol definitions returns the
      locked baud rate if baud rate locking is enabled.  If you need
      the actual connect rate for a protocol, %A returns the actual
      baud rate.  %K will slowly be phased out.

352)  The following mci codes have been added:
           @a - Date
           @b - Time
           @c - BBS Name
           @d - BBS Phone
           @e - SysOp Name
           @f - User note
           @g - Hang up on user
           @h - Baud rate
           @i - time left in minutes

        Please note MCI codes ARE case sensitive!

355)   When a user selects "download" or "upload" when he already
       has down/up files in his queue, Renegade will now ask if the
       user wants to begin the batch transfer BEFORE asking for
       a file name.

354)   Renegade's batch system has been revamped.  The separate
       batch menu is now totally unnecessary.  In addition to the
       "QUIT", "NEXT", and "ABORT" protocol definitions, you can
       now define "EDIT" which will allow the user to edit their
       batch queue.  It is highly recommended that you do this!

355)   The file points reward system is now configurable in that
       you can decide what percentage of the file points the
       uploader receives when someone downloads their file.

356)   New commandline option:  -S sorts all the file bases

357)   New event type: S - Sort files.  Works exactly like the
       pack messages event, except it will sort all of your
       file bases.

358)   When converting archives, offline entries should have their
       extensions changed as well.

359)   Message moving is now conference independent.

360)   The offline mail system will now not allow people to post
       messages to bases they don't have posting access on.

361)  "Computer type", "Reference", and "Occupation" fields in the
      user records are GONE.  They have been replaced by three
      SYSOP DEFINABLE user fields of 35 characters each.  You can
      define the question asked the user, and the field name
      in the user editor on page 6 of the string configuration.
      If a question is blank, the user will not be asked on
      application.

362)  When adding a voting topic, users can now decide if other users
      can add choices or not.

363)  The OB (add to bbslist) cmdkeys now take an option string
      of the name of the bbslist to add to.  The default is bbslist.msg.

364)  Viewing archives should no longer ever bomb out on corrupt archives.

365)  Renegade's WFC menu should work with monochrome monitors.

366)  Renegade now has it's own internal ANSI driver.

367)  The archive menu is even more secure.

368)  The /TYPE command in chat now requires sysop access.

369)  Renemail now properly handles point netmail with TOPT and FMPT.

370)  If the file point system is off, Renegade will no longer check
      for or subtract file points.
