This update log describes the changes since release 1.12.
+ indicates a new option
- indicates a bug fix
/ indicates a changed option
| indicates an option available in the registered version only
+ Added support for RAR. PalmScan detects both normal and self-extracting RAR
archives. Also, Authenticity Validations are detected.
Example PalmScan configuration settings for RAR:
Archiver RAR rar_a_-r_-y_-o-_-std_-m5 rar_x_-r_-y_-o-_-std_-c-
rar_c_-y_-std
+ Added support for RAR archive locking. To enable this, the command to lock
a RAR archive must be configured with this keyword:
RARlock [command]
Example:
RARlock RAR k
Or to add an authenticity validation also:
RARlock RAR k -av
+ Added support for ARJ and RAR multi-volume archives. When PalmScan
encounters a volume other than the first one, it will search for the first
volume and unpack all archives at once. When the first volume is not found,
PalmScan will process the archive as if it isn't a part of a multi-volume
archive.
To use this feature with ARJ, the commandline option to enable multi-volume
support must be supplied at the Archiver configuration keyword:
Archiver [ext] [compress] [decompress] <[addheader] <multi-volume switch>>
Example:
Archiver ARJ arj_a_-r arj_x_-y arj_c_-z -v
For use with RAR, no extra commandline option is needed.
When converting, PalmScan will create only one new archive. The first volume
will be replaced by this archive, all other volumes will be removed (and
marked as deleted in the file-database).
When a multi-volume archive is not converted, PalmScan will not add any
files or header to it.
+ |Added an option at the ArchiverConversion configuration keyword:
| ToSFX
|When converting archives to self-extracting archives, this switch should be
|used. PalmScan will then use .EXE as the extension instead of the default
|extension used for that archiver.
- Under some conditions, entries in FILES.BBS were incorrectly duplicated.
Fixed.
+ All options at the FileID configuration keyword (OneLine, Filter, FiltLow,
FiltDraw, MaxWidth and MaxLines) are now available for all description
importing functions:
- Ezycom file-database (FDB Ezycom)
- RemoteAccess file-database (FDB RA)
+ FILES.BBS (FilesBBS)
+ Ezycom 1.10 online file_id importing (EzyFileID)
+ FileInfo system (/Fix+)
+ Filedoor (Filedoor)
[ + = Updated ]
Filedoor is a special case: PalmScan defaults to a maximum width of 80
characters and a maximum length of 20 lines. Only MaxWidth/MaxLines values
less then those will be used, greater values will be ignored.
+ |The uploader name for files which are added to the Ezycom/RemoteAccess
|file-database is now configurable:
| UploaderName [Name]
|By default, PalmScan uses 'PalmScan' and the version number as uploader
|name.
+ PalmScan can now check for files which are too old. The configuration
keyword for this is:
OldFiles [[-days]|[dd-mm-yyyy]] <Original|Latest|Oldest>
Either the maximum age in days or a date can be used. When Original is used,
PalmScan will use the original archive's date. Latest/Oldest will use the
latest/oldest date of the files inside the archive.
Example : OldFiles -90 Latest
PalmScan will check for old files right after embedded archives have been
processed. When an old file has been encountered, PalmScan will move the
file to the directory configured with this keyword:
OldPath [d:\path]
When no OldPath is configured, PalmScan will exit with errorlevel 204.
When a message area has been configured, a message to the system operator
will also be posted.
+ Added a commandline option:
/UNLISTED
When this option is used, PalmScan will only process files which are not
listed in FILES.BBS and/or the RemoteAccess / Ezycom file-database.
This commandline option overrides the ProcessListedOnly configuration
keyword.
+ |When a file has been processed and is ok, it can now be moved to another
|directory. This directory can be specified with this commandline option:
| /MOVE[path]
|Example:
| /MOVEc:\files\uploads\good
+ |Added a commandline option to disable the moving of files to the BadPath,
|InfectedPath, HackPath, OldPath and BadGifPath :
| /NOMOVE
|Instead, PalmScan will exit with an errorlevel when needed.
+ Added support for GIFblast. Two new configuration keywords are available:
The command to convert GIFblast files to GIF:
GIFBLASTunpack [command]
When no GIFBLASTunpack command is configured, the GIFblast support in
PalmScan is disabled.
Example : GIFBLASTunpack GIFBLAST.EXE_-D
To make PalmScan repack GIFblast files to the format configured with the
GIFpack configuration keyword, this keyword is used:
GIFBLASTrepack
+ PalmScan can now reject GIF, JFIF, JPEG and GIFblast files which have a
resolution which is too low. The configuration keyword for this is:
MinimumResolution [horizontal]x[vertical]x[colors]
Example : MinimumResolution 640x480x256
When either one of these values is lower than the configured values,
PalmScan will move the file to the directory configured with this keyword:
BadGifPath [d:\path]
When no BadGifPath is configured, PalmScan will exit with errorlevel 205.
When a message area has been configured, a message to the system operator
will also be posted.
+ Added support for GIFtest. This can be configured with this keyword:
GIFtest [command] <errorlevels>
Example : GIFtest c:\giftest\giftest.exe_/M:640x480x256 1 20 25
Up to 10 errorlevels can be configured. When the result is one of the
configured errorlevels, PalmScan will move the file to the BadGifPath, or
exit with errorlevel 205 when no BadGifPath is configured.
When a message area has been configured, a message to the system operator
will also be posted.
- When GIF specifications were being added while running the file-database
maintenance (/fdbmaint), file descriptions could be lost. Fixed.
+ When moving a file to the BadPath, InfectedPath, HackPath, OldPath or
BadGIFpath, PalmScan will now also update the file-database and/or files.bbs
for the directory to which the file has been moved. The file description
will include a line describing the reason why the file was moved.
/ The maximum number of files to be processed at once in one directory has
been changed from 500 to virtually unlimited.
- Path names always had to be sub-directories, fixed.
