+ New Feature
- Removed/Amended Option
% Changed since last Version
! Bug Fix
Changes to Version 3.16a from 3.16
! Fixed FASTLOG.PKG error so that those still running ProBoard 2.12
can install FastLog/IEMSI using FeSetup.
Changes to Version 3.16 from 3.15
! Fixed bug in the Enter your Name prompt. Now you can't have unlimited
length which resulted in the node crashing.
{Thanks Mike Ehlert}
! Fixed bug in BEFOREPW.A?? and AFTERPW.A?? screens. Now the control
codes used by PB for information show the correct information.
{Thanks Mike Ehlert}
+ Added LOGIN.INI option to define whether the scrolling login text
continues to scroll when the User is asked for their Password.
{Thanks Dan Freedman and Magnus Nyvall}
! Fixed problem with language prompts being positioned 1 space to the
right when displaying custom ANSIs which replace the langauge prompts.
{Thanks Mike Ehlert}
+ Added login.ini option to define how many times the User can press
ENTER alone on the "Enter your Name" prompt.
{Thanks Mike Ehlert}
+ Added Visual Scan. Visual Scan is a bar that displays visually how
far the scan is through the user base.
{Thanks Mike Ehlert for the idea from your ANSIs}
% Updated MANUAL.TXT.
Changes to Version 3.15 from 3.10
+ FastLog/IEMSI now requires the use of FeSetup. FeSetup is included in
this archive.
FeSetup will automatically update your existing FastLog/IEMSI setup or
install FastLog/IEMSI for the first time.
% Changed REINDEX.EXE so that it now displays in Black and White.
% Changed Win95 Multitasking.
! Fixed New User Last Call Date.
{Thanks Alejandro Boldt}
! Fixed input field of Date Of Birth New User Question.
! Fixed problem under OS/2 when the screen distorts and then restores
itself when the node returns to the mailer.
{Thanks Alejandro Boldt}
+ Added LOGIN.INI option to choose whether ASK.PEX defaults to YES/no
or yes/NO.
{Thanks Richard Lithvall}
! Fixed bug in scrolling text which hung the node (machine) when
ScrollText was longer than 40 characters.
{Thanks *many* people}
! Fixed bug which allowed IEMSI Users to have alias of unlimited length
Ooops! Which caused unpredictable results.
{Thanks Alejandro Boldt}
! Fixed bug which stopped the scrolling text from scrolling when the
User was prompted for their password.
% Changed the Installation instructions information in manual.txt.
+ Added new REINDEX Manager. A message will be posted to the Sysop
warning them that the SECURITY.IDX file is not up to date.
* Some people have reported problems with non-matching information being
recognised as being duplicate. This is a problem resulting from not
running REINDEX.EXE on a regular basis. We *strongly* suggest that
you execute REINDEX.EXE in your nightly maintenance.
Changes to Version 3.10 from 3.05
+ Added optional Scrolling Welcome Text on your Login Screen.
Please read MANUAL.TXT for detailed information on this option as it
can change the way your Logon Screen can look quite a lot.
! Fixed problem with high-ascii characters. If the 1st character of the
username is high-ascii, then the second character remains lowercase.
! Fixed problem with the TRANX information after IEMSI sessions.
{Thanks Axel Zimmerman}
Changes to Version 3.05 from 3.04
% Changed the Force More, Clear and Hotkeys login.ini option. Now when
enabled ALL Users are given the forced options.
{Thanks Simon Harmel}
! Fixed accented character bug so users in Sweden for example could log
in.
{Thanks Magnus Nyvall}
% Changed the signature of all the Security Manager and New User Message
as it was a little long :-)
{Thanks Simon Harmel}
+ Added login.ini option to define who the new User Message is posted
FROM.
{Thanks Rigobert Van Den Broucke}
+ Added login.ini option to define whethere a message is Public or Private
when posted into a Message Area that is setup as Public/Private.
{Thanks Simon Harmel}
! Fixed Status Line display for 132 column modes.
Changes to Version 3.04 from 3.03
! Fixed Yes/No prompt for non-English languages - ProBoard does not
change the Y/N prompts to language specific until login (or perhaps
until ProBoard itself displays a prompt)
{Thanks Rigobert Van Den Broucke}
! If a single letter is entered locally as the username, then
FastLog/IEMSI would log the user in as Sysop - fixed to flagchars now.
{Thanks Sarah!}
+ Added feature to remove a User's Password (if they have forgotten it)
so they are prompted for a new password on their next login.
{Thanks Jean-Michel Dossogne}
Changes to Version 3.03 from 3.02
+ Logins are now possible when only the CRC is stored for the password.
{Thanks Ken Givens}
+ Save the Password in the Password field if a Users Record only contains
the Password CRC. {Thanks Ken Givens}
+ One letter first names are an optional reason for throwing out a user.
+ Added feature to post a Sysop Definable message to the New User.
(Incorporated AUTOPOST). {Thanks James Harrison}
+ Unavailable languages are not given as an option to use.
(If only one language is Available the question will not be asked)
{Thanks Jason Eames}
+ There is no limit to the number of languages that you can have
installed. (Does anyone use the level and flags info?)
+ Define whether or not to enable all QWK or New Mail Scan areas for New
Users - for greater control you can use our SetArea pex which allows
you to make sure certain areas are always scanned for mail.
! Fixed a bug in displaying the "Enter a password [x-15] characters long".
Our language files were hardcoded to [%a-15] whereas ProBoard uses
[%a-%b]. {Thanks Jurre Van Dijken and Klaus-E Klingner}
! Fixed bug in Date of First call for a New User. The date would be set
to the following day if the time of the first call was later than 7pm.
(The gmtime function in our C compiler thinks GMT is GMT+5 hours).
{Thanks Jurre Van Dijken}
% Changed the way TRASHCAN.CTL routine works.
{Thanks Ken Givens}
+ Added TRASHCAN.A?? file support for when a New User enters an invalid
name contained in your TRASHCAN.CTL file.
Changes to Version 3.02 from 3.01
! Fixed problem of IEMSI Users and Users who put the password on the same
line as their Username. If the password was wrong FastLog/IEMSI would
wrongly ask if they are a new User. Now FastLog/IEMSI asks them for
their password again.
! Fixed ForceANSI = option. Before this function did not work as
documented.
% Changed New User logging information to match the information created
by ProBoard so that you can still use your Log Processing tools like
AMU.
Changes to Version 3.01 from 3.00
! After entering an invalid birthdate, ProBoard attempts to ask the User
to Enter their DOB but crashes :-(
% The Status Bar at the bottom of the screen that is displayed when
a User is about to login (Press ENTER to login as Sysop), now
displays "FastLog/IEMSI v3.01" and "[EVALUATION COPY]" if FastLog/IEMSI
is unregistered.
+ One User of FastLog/IEMSI asked about reinstating the text that displays
the type of software that an IEMSI User logging in is using.
The status bar at the bottom of the screen (see above) will now display
the software they are using. {Thanks Simon Harmel}
+ Add the ability to force a New User into ANSI. FastLog/IEMSI won't
ask the "Do you wish to use ANSI" question.
An optional .ASC file can be displayed to the ASCII New User informing
them that you do not support ASCII. {Thanks Andy Morrison}
+ Now we have a USA Registration Site for all our Fe-line Software.
% Our Fido Address was incorrectly stated as being 2:257/278 in ALL
FastLog/IMESI Docs :-(
Changes to Version 3.00 from 2.30
- Removed *ALL* the Unregistered delays and cripples :-))))
We hope that the removal of the 5 second delay and adding New User IEMSI
Questions to this version for Unregistered Users, will entice more
people to look at FastLog/IEMSI.
- Removed the need for the INIT.PEX.
We have rewritten the IEMSI handling routines for greater performance and
thus the need for an INIT.PEX was removed.
+ Built into _LOGIN.PEX the Password, Date of Birth and Voice/Data number
checking. There is now no need for CHECKUSR.PEX and STOREINF.PEX as the
duplicate data checking routines are built into _LOGIN.PEX. This makes
installing the FastLog/IEMSI Security suite even easier.
- Removed need for @pIEMSI xxxxx@ for each New User langauge prompt.
To enhance the performance and installing process of FastLog/IEMSI for
IEMSI New User Support, we have removed the @pIEMSI xxxxx@ need from
each of the Langauge Prompts.
New User Questions are now asked from within FastLog/IEMSI but only
those that are enabled in ProCfg/New User. This way FastLog/IEMSI works
the same way as before (same as the Internal ProBoard way),
+ Fixed ProBoard problem of displaying in ANSI when the New User answered
NO to the "Do you want to use ANSI" "AVATAR" "AVATAR+" questions.
The Users settings are changed *immediately* after the questions are
asked.
+ Add ability to position the login prompts anywhere on the screen.
You can now position the login prompts anywhere on your login screen using
X and Y coordinates. X coordinates work even for ASCII Users.
+ Added LOGIN.INI option to Force ON or OFF ClearScreen, More and Hotkeys
for a New User.
+ If the New User doesn't select ANSI/AVATAR/AVATAR+ when filling out the
New User Questions, then FastLog/Log will NOT ask the "Do you want to
use the Fullscreen Editor?" question.
+ Added New User Question to ask for their Default Protocol when completing
the New User Login. (ProBoard 2.15 only unless specifically asked for in
the LOGIN.INI file).
+ If there is a <Carriage Return> in the buffer after the New User answers
YES to "I am a New User", then the "Available Language" Question is NOT
answered automatically to the default.
+ Added EXPIRE option in LOGIN.INI.
The Expire feature allows you to set any Expiry Flags, Expiry Level and
number of days for a New User.
+ Added FullIEMSILog to LOGIN.INI for logging IEMSI Session Information.
+ Added Login Name checking so people with 1 letter forenames are not
allowed.
+ Added BlankAddress = option to allow the Sysop to determine which lines
of the "What is your mailing address" prompt can be left blank.
% Updated the ASK PEX to work with the new IEMSI structure.
Due to re-writing the IEMSI handling routines, the ASK.PEX needed to
be updated.
% Updated the BUSY PEX to work with the new IEMSI structure.
Due to re-writing the IEMSI handling routines, the BUSY.PEX needed to
be updated.
+ If a GUEST logs in, FastLog/IEMSI won't ask for the Password if it is
blank in the User Record. (They do NOT have to be called GUEST!)
+ Provided a C header file for including FastLog/IEMSI IEMSI support in
your own PEXs.
% Re-wrote the documentation.
We felt that a re-write was needed due to the number of changes in this
version of FastLog/IEMSI. Now it is even more confusing <g>
+ Added Fe-line Software DOING support.
See the file DOING.TXT included in this archive for detailed information
on what DOING is.
