DupMsg History
DupMsg 2.61 -- Released 04-28-93
1) 2.6 locked up when the 1st text element was a NULL and was not followed
by a Fido Control line.
DupMsg 2.6 -- Released 04-26-93
1) Cleaned up the date checking code.
2) Revised the dupe pre-checking process - Optimized processing and removed
some errors.
3) Dupe checking now ignores messages from the "WILDCAT! MAIL ROOM".
4) Revised the message tracking information: WildMail/GoMail messages are
shown as FTS messages. "WILDCAT! MAIL ROOM" and "LOG TO MESSAGE" messages
are shown properly.
DupMsg 2.5 -- Released 01-22-93
1) Added support for WildCat 3.6
2) Improved detection of small-message duplicates.
DupMsg 2.4 -- Released 12-12-92
New Features:
1) DupMsg will automatically trim conferences in accordance with
MakeWild's Maximum Messages field. (For use with WildMail's
Purge option)
2) Speed dramatically improved when DupMsg is run more than
once per day, when only a few new messages are added to a
conference. In a 1400 message conference, one new message
only takes a second or two to process. In previous versions,
it could take up to thirty seconds.
3) Added automatic message tracking information. If full
duplicate logging is enabled, the duplicate's source or
the uploader's name will be written to the log file.
4) Additional duplicates identified that were related to the
< > @ = characters and ANSI messages.
Enhancements:
1) Additional error detection has been added. More validity
checks are performed on the message record and keys to
detect possible corruption.
2) 10070 errors no longer cause DupMsg to halt, but will stop
processing on the current database and continue with the
next one.
Bug Fixes:
1) A rare error that could cause a QEMM error has been fixed.
2) Fixed an error when the high message number was over 32,000.
DupMsg 2.32 -- Released 08-20-92
-- It's been a busy time for finding new duplicates. This
is an extension of the Fido High to Low ASCII duplicates.
Finds a few more dupes than v2.31.
DupMsg 2.31 -- Released 08-18-92
-- Discovered another twist to duplicate message detection.
Messages that get passed through Fido or other conferences
where high ASCII is not allowed have that high ASCII
modified or deleted. DupMsg now detects those duplicates.
-- Control [Break] remapping has been eliminated. Previously,
the normal Control [Break] function was saved and a new
function took its place while DupMsg was running. The
normal function was restored on exit. Due to possible
BIOS problems on some systems, this has been eliminated.
Control-C remapping still takes place, and is inherently
more reliable. Control-C is a DOS function while Control
[Break] is a BIOS function.
-- Better control has been added to file opening and closing
procedures.
DupMsg 2.3 -- Released 08-14-92
-- Minor change for FidoNet users. Corrects problem when
From or To name is over 25 characters.
DupMsg 2.2 -- Released 08-06-92
-- Dupe checking algorithm was completely rewritten.
DupMsg now ignores FidoNet ^@ control lines, word
wrapped messages, and extra blank lines or spaces.
-- Batch delete process speeds up message deleting by
50%, though scanning speed is unaffected.
DupMsg 2.1 -- Released 07-09-92
-- Fixed FidoNet problem when subject lines are greater than 25
characters. The infamous 10220 error.
-- Fixed an error when checking for old messages in an empty
conference.
-- Added new routine that allows both implicit and explicit paths
in MAKEWILD. ie: both 'C:\WC30\DATA\' and 'C:DATA\' are
allowed.
-- The master message count is once again being updated.
-- If there is an error updating NODEINFO.DAT, a message will be
logged, but the program will not halt. The master message
counters are kept in NODEINFO.DAT.
-- Autonode problems have been corrected.
-- Some routines have been rewritten in assembler.
-- Streamlined routines for making keys and writing to log files.
DupMsg 2.0 -- Released 06-17-92
-- Modified the registration module.
-- Automatically detects and supports both WildCat 3.0 and 3.5.
-- Added the ability to delete messages from selected users by
listing the users' names in the DUPMSG.LST file.
-- Major features can be turned on and off for all conferences
from the Master Setup menu.
-- Added support for autonode selection.
-- Increased error detection and control.
-- Added support for the WCHOME variable.
-- Modified the registration module.
DupMsg 1.1 -- Released 02-19-92
-- Speed increased by up to 50% by reducing disk reads.
-- Memory requirements reduced.
-- Better control of log file options, including the option to
have no log file.
-- Sysop has control over comparing date/time and subject line.
-- Tagline handling is improved to recognize some non-standard
taglines.
-- Based on a 386-sx with 40 ms drive:
Deletes 90-95 old messages per minute.
Deletes 60-65 duplicate messages per minute.
DupMsg 1.0 -- Released 11-15-91
-- Original version.
-- Finds and deletes duplicates, old messages, and messages
marked for deletion.
-- Date and time are ignored when comparing messages.
-- Subject are always used to compare messages.
