History of ProDOOR changes (in reverse order)
---------------------------------------------
27-Jun-90
Official release of ProDoor 3.3.
This version does not include a new manual, and is a direct replacement
for version 3.2. Please read !PRODOOR.NEW for details on exactly what's
been changed.
26-Jun-90
Corrected download byte ratio calculation (daily bytes were being
added twice)
23-Jun-90
Combined logic of (t)hread/(z)ip searches so they will work together
better and provide more consistant displays.
Added new (PA)ge command in message reader and proedit to set the
page length.
The YA command was acting like R Y at the main command prompt.
21-Jun-90
Background colors/flashing were not being cancelled when entering
a display in the 'default color' when the default intensity was set
to '1'.
12-Jun-90
I forgot to remove some debug code which caused some ansi codes
to appear on local displays.
Upload protocols with "0 filespecs" required were not properly
prompting for filenames in advance (broken 2-jun-90).
Added logic to better handle download protocols which are configured
for "0 filespecs" required.
11-Jun-90
Some @x codes were bleeding through when they appeared near the 128'th
position in the expanded line.
07-Jun-90
Download limits of 32767k (unlimited) were not being handled properly
after a download.
04-Jun-90
Recompiled without debug, stack and range check code. I suspect that
the stack check code was actually causing some of the recent
problems. Please let me know if this beta solves any problems.
If you still get fatal errors, please remember to tell me what was on
the screen when you got the error. Thanks!
03-Jun-90
Corrected occasional RANGE CHECK error 44e:4e5 when posting uploads.
02-Jun-90
Corrected RANGE CHECK fatal error when entering an upload description
of exactly 255 characters.
Corrected handling of upload directory for users who are below the
minimum security level needed to post public uploads.
Added support for (undocumented) @X00 and @XFF macros.
Changed PRORATIO system to change file and kbyte limits according to
specified ratio instead of rejecting selected files.
New messages are:
Download K BYTE limit reduced from $5W$ to $6W$!
You are required to upload at least one K BYTE for each $3$ you download.
Download FILE limit reduced from $5W$ to $6W$!
You are required to upload at least one FILE for each $3$ you download.
Changed default free upload bytes to 100k instead of 100000.
The PRORATIO system was not always using the right default values for
free bytes and files.
Fixed a bug in the crt driver that caused a lockup on ESC[255D and other
codes that specify with out of range cursor positions.
Changed DOSMEM unit to ignore memory allocation errors returned by
DOS when the indicated available memory matches that being requested.
Disabled "more?" and carrier checks during upload duplication checks.
This should prevent posting of duplicate uploads when the caller
drops carrier before the uploads have been posted on the system.
01-Jun-90
Change several WORD variables to LONGS in mail section. This may
correct most of the RANGE CHECK fatal errors.
28-May-90
Corrected decoding of some of the @x macros that produced very long
ansi codes.
Commas were not being inserted correctly in early 28-may betas.
Increased maximum number of active download directories from 200 to
300.
27-May-90
Corrected invalid filename checks to properly detect overlong
filenames and filenames containing too many dots.
Corrected action of autojoin when non-stop is in effect.
NS is now recognized as autojoin at a read mail prompt when there are
no more available messages in the current conference.
26-May-90
Redefined ascii code 127 to function as ^G rather than ^H in visual
editor.
Corrected colors during command line input.
Corrected local non-graphic display to use the default colors instead
of white.
Changed visual edit to use entire screen in local mode, regardless of
the specified (P)age setting.
Corrected message entry to prevent corruption of message index when
(P)rotect command is used immediately following an aborted message
reply.
The (+) and (-) commands weren't working right following a two-letter
mail reading command (such as YA).
Added "/ $LASTMSGNO$" after display of current message number.
Added support for TO: @level@ and TO: @level-level@ security level
specific messages.
Added support for "unlimited" download bytes when download K limit
is set to 32767k.
23-May-90
Corrected "automatic CR" during message subject entry.
21-May-90
Corrected more ansi code display problems. Ansi displays should
again be working correctly at all times. All ansi decoding is now
internal-- you no longer need ANSI.SYS loaded for ProDoor/ProLogon
operation.
Changed (N)ew files scan to prevent setting the last-date-scanned to
a date in the future.
20-May-90
Corrected some ansi color code displays.
Corrected some colors on the call waiting control panel. I'm working
without a color monitor right now, so please keep me advised on colors
if they still don't look right.
Added '*' flagging of newer files in file listings.
The 'new files' function now updates the last-scanned date to that
of the newest file seen, rather than the current date.
19-May-90
Removed support for PCBTRAP.
Rewrote screen handlers for quicker displays.
Note: the environment setting
SET OVCRT=ON
may be needed under DesqView and other windowing/timeshare systems to
prevent screen bleed-through or background lockups.
18-May-90
Removed the debugging message "DISP_MACFILE:" which I forgot to
remove after some testing last week.
17-May-90
Corrected a hardcoded limit that caused "earned K" values over 65535k to
rollover to 0. The door now locks the number at 65535 (the highest value
that can be stored in the allocated space).
Corrected free download handler to properly handle files processed by
DSZ when the directory was specified as part of the wildcard in
PROFREE.
15-May-90
Added logic to totally disable checks for the NS16550 buffered serial
chip. Add the environment statement:
SET NO16550=ON
to force the code to act like ProDoor/ProKit 3.1 did.
The main menu display wasn't correctly being bypassed when a command
was stacked at a 'press enter to continue' prompt.
14-May-90
Started work on ProDoor 3.3 alpha for full support of 14.5 file
formats.
Changed curconfh definition for compatibility with pcboard when
accessing conferences over #255.
