- Acornet upgrade 0.12 - 0.14
- ===========================
- (can also be used to upgrade 0.13 to 0.14)
- 20 May 1996
-
- Changes since 0.12
- ------------------
- BUGFIX: Configure program was using previous account name (default "jbloggs")
- to create mail domain, resulting in FreeSMTP not accepting mail; also
- Reply-To field being incorrectly set and bad email addresses in FTP and http.
-
- BUGFIX: Use of Mail$Dir by FreeNews was causing problems for some people by
- conflicting with its use by !TCPIP (ka9q). Outgoing news now held within
- FreeNews application.
-
- BUGFIX: Serial tests in NetConfig gave fatal 'Undefined procedure' error if
- ATZ failed (e.g. if modem switched off).
-
- BUGFIX: Corrected CompuLink login negotiation.
-
- BUGFIX: Corrected out-of-date information in NLnet provider file.
-
- IMPROVEMENT: By default, only specify mail gateway as forwarder in FreeSMTP,
- rather than both MX and gateway.
-
- UPGRADE: FreeSMTP upgraded to 1.06 (this was the only change between 0.12 and
- 0.13)
-
- UPGRADE: POP upgraded to 0.98 (fixes bug in use with VProtect).
-
- UPGRADE: FreeNews upgraded to 1.02. Fixes problem with timestamp of fetch
- causing in articles being missed, particularly those posted by user.
-
- ADDITION: New provider file for Global Internet in South Africa.
-
- Instructions
- ------------
- If you have already configured your existing Acornet (i.e. 0.12), check that
- you filer options have 'Newer' set (click MENU in a filer window and go to
- the Options submenu). This ensures that your newsgroup information (groups
- subscribed to; time of last fetch) is not lost when you apply the patch.
-
- Open the archive (Upg012-014) and copy the !Acornet found inside (which only
- contains the files that need to be modified) on top of the full !Acornet
- application which you have already installed on your hard disc.
-
- If you have already configured your existing Acornet, you will need to re-run
- the configuration program. Start up Acornet and click on the Configure icon
- in the control panel. Your details should have been remembered, so just
- click on OK until the configuration is complete.
