****************
version 1.10
****************
- Name Service Added. See Docs because this is a little complex.
- Messages to points with file attaches are now ALWAYS treated as if
2DaPoint was running in Node mode.
- Major clean-up: Packets now end with #13#0 instead of #32#0.
- Minor clean-up: Full Path & Filename no longer appear in subject line
of messages that had Freqs or Fattachs.
- End of line comments now allowed in control file. Use the semi-colon just
like a full line comment.
****************
version 1.20
****************
- Name Remapping/Substitution Added. See Docs.
- Multiple Fattaches, Multiple PassThru Fattaches, & Multiple Freqs
are now supported in the Subject line.
- Passthru files now can be optionally killed.
- Major Clean-up: AVL tree containing Names & addresses is now initialized
even if there are no names/addrs in the Names section of your control file.
- Minor Clean-up: Full name must now be found in Names section of control
file, not just a subset of it.
- 2DaPoint no longer generates DLO/DUT files.
- Back-to-basics look. Old style was overkill!
****************
version 1.30
****************
- Full Zone Support! Except for Zone 0. Any msg that has Zone 0 in it's
origin or destination address will have Zone 0 replaced with YOUR Zone.
- 2DaPoint will now log it's activities to a text file, 2DAPOINT.LOG.
- Using the -B command line parameter will cause 2DaPoint to use BIOS
screen writes. Default is direct video writes.
- Major Clean-up: Any message in your netmail directory that is echomail
(denoted by the ^APATH kludge) is now sent to its intended destination
& then killed.
***NOTE****: If you forward/copy a msg from an echomail area into your
netmail dir, it will be handled like a normal netmail message ONLY IF
you remove the ^APATH kludge
- Minor Clean-up: words in the subject line that are over 8 characters are
no longer truncated to 8 chars. (Thanks Jack)
- Minor Clean-up: Messages that had the kill bit set & were marked as HOLD
from the control file were being killed immediately.
- Minor Clean-up: PassThru file attaches that were supposed to be killed are
now DELETED, not just truncated.
- Minor Clean-up: Msgs that have been received & have the KillSent bit set
are no longer killed.
***************************
version 1.31 - Bug Fix!
***************************
- Messages without MSGID's were causing problems with the software. Programs
like Areafix & Raid don't generate MSGID's for example. The problem was
actually in the CRC value; it wasn't being initialized in the proper palce
so the CRC string being written was totally random & could contain the #0.
- EchoMail messages are now recognized by the "AREA:" statement instead of
the PATH kludge.
****************
version 1.40
****************
- 2DaPoint now uses BinkleyTerm 2.50's 4D .PNT directory format. All
support for Pseudo PointNet/PrivateNet has been dropped.
Upgrade to 4D, 3D FakeNet is obsolete!!!
- SetBit/StripBit options have been added. This allows you to define two
seperate bitmasks to be used on msg attributes. These masks may used to
always set the private bit on or always set the crash bit off for example.
- Mis-Addressing notification. With the Notify option enable, any msg that
comes into your system & get redirected with cause 2DaPoint to send a msg
to the originator of that message, telling them where they can reach the
person they mis-addressed their msg to.
- UTC support. 2DaPoint will now compute the time in the VIA tearline in
terms of UTC if you have your TZ envirment variable set correctly.
- The 286 version will now identify itself as such.
- Major Clen-up: In an effort to reduce redunant code, 2DaPoint will now
leave any echomail msg in your netmail dir ALONE. Previous versions
would recognize that it was EchoMail, but put in kludges before the
AREA: line. In order for this to be avoided, an entire new procedure
would have to be written that'd chew up memory & .EXE file size. I
can't say that I feel it's be worth it. ConfMail & Qmail will pickup
the echomail addressed to another node that is in your netmail dir
& send on it's way wo/alteration.
***************************
version 1.41 - Bug Fix!
***************************
- The TZ enviroment variable wasn't being recognized 100% of the time.
- The ^AVia Kudges will now be maintained @ the bottom of the msg. They
were getting moved to the top before the msg body.
- The temporary storage area for Kludges has been increased four-fold from
512 bytes to 2048 bytes. This should do it. ;)
- Hard Carraige Returns are now being used in the FYI msgs instead of Soft.
****************
Version 1.50
****************
- EchoMail Processing is Back. Echomail msgs in your netmail msg dir will
be sent to their proper destination verbatim (no changes in the kludge
lines, etc). ie, correctly. ;)
- PassThru File Requests!
- Passwords are now supported in Freqs. Any word that starts the the password
delimitter, !, will be used as a password (including multi-freqs).
- Wildcards are now supported in Fattaches (including Multiple).
- Generated packets can now have passwords embedded into the header for secure
enviroments.
- ZoneGating. With this enabled, msgs to other zones are automatically send to
Origin_Zone:Origin_Zone/Destintaion_Zone.0
- The Via lines are now hidden behin a kludge instead of using the tear line
ie, ^AVia instead of ---Via. Via Lines where also shortened to remove the
"-286".
- You can now specify where the log file is generated.
- There are now 5 seperate errorlevels that 2DaPoint will exit with.
- When 2DaPoint is run on point systems, mail will not be written into .PNT
dirs; instead, the mail will be bundled for that point's host.
- Executables in the .ARJ are no longer compressed with PKLite.
- 2DaPoint now properly encodes the 2+ packet headers ID.
- You may have your node number set to 0.
