│ Bug fixes, changes and new features │
│ from O.O1 Gamma-3 to O.O1 Gamma-4 │
└───────────────────────────────────────┘
This file contains most of the changes since Gamma-3,
however it may not contain all of them and also there may
be listed some corrections to things that were added only
after releasing Gamma-3. Sorry about this.
Bug fixes :
- Possibly existing CWAITxxx.yyy file was not killed before
executing external program.
- More prompts in mail scan could not be disabled and were
displayed after each <screenlength> areas.
- Path was unnecessarily scanned for program to be executed if
"*C /C" was specified.
- If month strings were changed in language file, dates were not
written correctly to messages in .MSG base.
- Local screen length was not set to correct value before
running new user script.
- "Show file and wait for Enter" menutype waited for Enter key
press after user had aborted displaying file.
- "Show file" menutype displayed more prompt if the whole file
had already been displayed. The more prompt could not be
exited with <more:yes> selection.
- @LIMIT_RATIO@ has always the same value as @LIMIT_RATIOK@
- Wait for call -mode :
* Screen saver did not hide clock
* No system lockup anymore if modem keeps constant in-data
flow when waiting for modem response.
* If modem response string is not found from "answer strings"
when answering to incoming call, Concord does not wait for
local exit anymore.
- In Bluewave packets, PACKET_ID field in *.INF files was in
Pascal string format instead of C null string format.
- events : When checking events of next day, current day was
checked from "days" instead of next day.
- events : event will not be run in "running missing events" if
previous event run date field is empty.
- packtotempdir : any parameters to this menutype caused RTE103.
- copytaggedtotempdir : After copying file successfully to temp
dir, it was removed from tag queue. However, at the same time,
one file in tag queue was missed (not copied).
- FILES.BBS : TFA130PE.RAR (Original description...) needs not
to be converted to TFA130PE.RAR (00) (Original description...)
- scripts : parameters with CALL SCRIPT.SCR command (eg.
/JUMP:LABEL) were not accepted. Also gosub parameters were not
interpreted if gosub label was found later in the script file.
- WELCOME.ANS, NEWS.ANS, GOODBYE.ANS and BULLET?.ANS were not
displayed in Bluewave packets.
- NEWFILES.DAT and BULLET?.ANS were not displayed in Omen
packets.
- script: IF "a"="b" was converted to IF a"="b before
evaluating. %string% variabless could cause prot version crash
with RTE216.
- Moving duplicate file to bad dupe path failed if duplicates
were checked without file extension.
# 18:31:33 Duplicate file BASDB.??? uploaded to path
# 18:31:33 ... Original file exists on area #40
# 18:31:33 ... Could not move dupe file to C:\C\MOVE\
- FILES.BBS : TFA130PE.RAR (Original description...) is not
updated to TFA130PE.RAR (0000000l description...) when
updating download counters
- .EXE, .COM and .OVR files were not virus checked due to
failing "copy to work path" command.
- Events : While Concord was waiting for call or event, it was
running only forced events (twice, if Concord reloaded within
one minute). Thus, non-forced events were only run when user
had logged off after event time and Concord started to reload.
In reload, all not yet run events were run.
- CSETUP LNG ? did not show usage but went directly to lng
editor.
- If uploading during download or not giving uploaded filenames
before transfer, Concord did not display "upload description
header string" before asking file descriptions.
- When shelled to an external editor, Concord node status says
'using door'. I'd say 'writing a message' would be better in
this case of a 'door' :)
- IDs in user files were not always correct when written by
Concord.
- FORCE NOT USE INCLUDE.MNU still allowed use of cursor
selection menutypes of INCLUDE.MNU.
- If destination netmail address was not included in offline
message, Concord did not ask for it.
- Running missing events -> all events of previous date were run
again as if they had not been run earlier.
- Not checking uploaded reply packets against duplicates
anymore.
- Before running ext upload checker, current path is now changed
to node path first.
- Pressing ESC in edit sec lvl window in user editor abandoned
changes even though pressing esc elsewhere accepts changes.
- Wrong string behind menutype $1018 (list files in any path):
Displays message "List files in temp dir"
- Pressing ESC when using -WAIT parameter returned errorlevel 0.
- Form editor did not show correctly fields with Y coordinate
equal to 0.
- If tried to delete message but answered 'no' to verification
message, Concord moved to next message.
- If a user decides to download descriptions too, then
interrupts his download, and does this same thing a few times,
then he has tagged DESCRIPT.001, DESCRIPT.002, DESCRIPT.003,
DESCRIPT.004, etc.
- ExtractToTempPath, CopyToTempPath and ViewFile menutypes did
not check download/list rights. Now, download rights are
required for these menutypes when extracting/copying/viewing
from file area. Also, if wildcards are specified, list rights
are necessary.
- In the chat session, also if the sysop press his reserved key
combinations such as F* or ALT-F* the cursor flashes in the
same way when the sysop press any non reserved key.
- There is a bug in the quoting detection in the msg reader. It
accepts as quotes lines with two letters such as " FI>", but
doesn't accept lines with three or more letters such as "
FIF>" or " FIFI>". The lines don't accepted as quote lines
aren't displayed when the right color code.
- When creating quote to message editor, reply initials could
include blanks, for example "Bjarke V. Lindberg" -> "BV L>"
- Add missing files in FILEED added file DESCRIPT.ION to
filebase. Directories were added as "New file not yet
commented" text lines.
- Moving files to another filearea in FILEED messed up original
file description (description in destination area was ok) in
"mark line as deleted" process.
- Online message check was activated already before user had
entered his name in logon process. Now it will be activated
just before starting WELCOME.SCR.
- It was possible to receive online message while writing one
with internal message editor.
- Prot mode version crashed when creating age statistics.
- Adding new answer to vote question did not erase VOTExxxx.$$$
temp file. Also first user records in original VOTExxxx.DAT
were overwritten with new question data.
- Lockup if trying to handle file with number as extension in
certain cases, for ex
