- Adept 1.07f Release Changes: 4/21/96
- ----------------------------
-
- Changes to the email section. The internet email section was crippled by
- a faulty interface to the BBS program. This interface still exists
- unfortunately, but we are trying to make it work as best as it can.
-
- In email, whatever you input for the destination should now be untouched
- by the program. It should no longer try to capitalize where is shouldn't.
-
- Keep in mind, the maximum length of the TO field is 59 characters.
-
- Adept will now try to send any unsent emails when it is started. All emails
- being sent out will be in "Internet\SMPTOut" which is different than
- previous versions of the program.
-
- Some replies to SMTP or NNTP were not being sent out. This was worked on.
-
- Meta {PB was acting wierd under certain circumstances. Made a change to it.
-
- Adept 1.07e Release Changes: 4/14/96
- ----------------------------
-
- Changed the active/inactive line menu items.
-
- If a line is active, you have the menu options:
- Make Line Inactive->Busy
- Make Line Inactive->No Answer
-
- If a line is already inactive, you will have the menu option:
- Make Line Active
-
- There was a possible error in the code which prevented the BBS configuration
- from being saved as often as it should have been. This may have caused
- the problem where User ID numbers we're being duplicated.
-
- Got rid of the annoying "Lastreads not found for user" message. This was
- merely informational, and in general was making a mess out of everyones
- logs.
-
- REXX: Changes to AdeptMessage()
-
- Types:
- 3 Find message area (number of area to find in StartAt)
- Returns message area number. This sets the users current
- active message area, and also sets the message area the user
- is 'looking' at.
- 14 Sets the message area, in the message area list, that user is
- currently 'looking at' (the user is not necessarily in the area)
- The number of the area to find in StartAt. Not this just sets
- the area the user is 'looking at' not the users active area.
-
- Adept 1.07d Release Changes: 4/07/96
- ----------------------------
-
- Language.Text line #258 changed. This is a cosmetic only change.
-
- Adept now will complain a little more if the address you enter for a
- netmail is in a weird format. There a couple of valid formats, either
- of which can be truncated (you don't need to enter all 5 dimensions)
- Full 5D Formats: Zone:Net/Node.Point@Domain Domain#Zone:Net/Node.Point
-
- Arrow keys were being accepted as valid in the menu system. This was removed.
-
- Menu item data was not stripping spaces at the beginning or end of the
- data, which caused a number of problems. Now, the menu item data field
- is stripped of spaces front and back. Note: Menu item text is still left
- alone.
-
- Changed behavior of the 'find' function in the user editor. If you double
- click on a name in the list, then the search defaults to 'exact' otherwise,
- it defaults to 'part of name' unless you specifically change it.
-
- Completed addition of a flag which was contained in the BBS configuration,
- but not in the BBS flag editor. This flag is the "Local login defaults to
- SysOp" flag. If this is set, then if you click on "local logon" the name
- used is the name of the SysOp in the BBS configuration by default, and
- skips showing the login screen, asking the user name, and password.
-
- Added a function to GCU.DLL, so your old copy must be replaced.
-
- Updated UCMENUS.DLL to the latest version from IBM so that we would not
- encounter problems with other programs which also uses UCMENUS.DLL. Thanks
- for the info Doug K.

-
- Adept 1.07c Release Changes: 3/31/96
- ----------------------------
-
- Fixed the bug which caused blank lines in messages to become duplicates of
- the immediately preceeding line if you had the 'macros in text' switch on.
-
- Fixed problem where groups max bank time was not set in user record when
- Sysop changed the users group.
-
- Changed behavior of QWK or Bluewave uploads so that origin lines are not
- put into messages contained in message areas where origin lines are turned
- off. This matches the way Adept works for messages entered locally.
-
- Put a cancel button on the BBS flags setup screen.
-
- If you turn off the BBS flag 'follow BBS with enter' you will no longer
- be asked to press enter after a local login.
-
- Adept 1.07b Release Changes: 3/22/96
- ----------------------------
-
- Added a 'R'enumber command to uNuke. This command will renumber all the
- 'user id' fields in the user records. uNuke, only renumbers the user
- id fields. It does not (at this time) set the 'last user id' field in the
- BBS configuration. This is the place that the BBS stores the last user id
- number.
-
- Changed internet dialing again. Did not touch the code if you are operating
- VModem only, but rather if you are using Sockets, or Telnet, then the
- dialing was changed.
-
- Adept 1.07a Release Changes: 3/15/96
- ----------------------------
-
- Language.Text has three new lines: #586, #587, #853 (see below)
-
- A couple of bug reports tell us that when the "Languages" file exists
- Adept will not start. This is extremely difficult to recreate here, though
- it has been seen. What happens is, if Adept starts up a node, and that node
- has difficulty opening the languages file, that node will not start. For
- some reason, having a "Languages" file makes this more likely to occur.
- We're not sure why. Anyway, There was an odd call to open the index after
- a reindex took place. This call was changed in the hopes that this was the
- problem. If that wasn't it, we'll try again for next week. :)
-
- Made it easier to eliminate a command from an event. The editor will now
- allow for a zer0 length string in the command entry field.
-
- Removed literal conversion from message text. Text such as '\r' or 'C:\Adept'
- will now display properly as contained in message.
-
- QWK mail should not trap if there is no messages for download.
-
- QWK mail should not trap if it can't figure out the message date. This would
- occur if the message date did not match the exact format that QWK mail
- was looking for. Now, if the QWK export code cannot figure out the date,
- it will set the message date to 1/1/90
-
- Clarified messages for setting or resetting LMR pointers. See text #586
- and #587.
-
- You could not address a message to 'All' in a private email area. You are now
- warned when you attempt to do so. Text #853
-
- An attempt was made to fix file ratios. During testing they worked fine.
- See what you think.
-
- Added a timing change to ZModem when used over the internet.
-
- The 'internet dialing' portion of the mailer was completely broken from the
- beginning. Several changes were made to the dialer in an attempt to fix
- the code. Consider the following. You have 3 switches to turn on internet
- support: Internet Timing, Socket, and Telnet.
- If you have "internet timing" turned on, but have "socket" and "telnet"
- turned off, most likely you are using VModem. The dialer was actually not
- even attempting to use VModem to dial out, even if "socket" and "telnet"
- were turned off! When "internet timing" was turned on, Adept would open a
- socket or telnet client to "dial out" on. The result? Adept didn't know what
- to do after a dial out attempt, and got very lost. Adept will now use
- VModem to dial out if you have "internet timing" on, and "socket" and
- "telnet" turned off. Adept will only open a socket or telnet client if
- those options were turned on for that node. (please note: This area is
- still not 100% and will be slightly tweaked in 1.07b due out 3/22/96)
-
- Pressing arrow keys in the message reader did odd things locally. What happens
- now is this.
- Left Arrow: Previous Message (same as 'P')
- Right Arrow: Next Message (same as 'N')
- Home: Start reading message from beginning (same as 'O')
- PgDn: Next page of message (same as ENTER)
-
