- Bug fixes
- ---------
-
- * Fixed "December" date parsing bug. All messages with dates in
- December were parsed incorrectly, causing a invalid date. In *.MSG
- and Hudson areas, this also caused purging by date to work
- incorrectly. This did not affect JAM areas, since JAM areas are by
- purged by the dated a messages is received, rather than the date it
- was written. Due to the serious nature of this bug, version 1.11+
- had to be released without going through the usual beta testing
- cycle. If necessary, a 1.12+ version will be released soon to fix
- possibly remaining problems.
-
- * In AreaMgr receipts and the notification messages after creating a
- message for an uplink GEcho would use incorrect addresses. The
- processing was done correctly though.
-
- * When importing netmail to JAM areas, the point info would get lost.
-
- * When specifying a .BAT or .BTM file as external utility, GEcho would
- not run the command processor, which would cause a exception error.
- This problem was also in 1.02+.
-
- * When exporting netmail with an origin and destination address in a
- different zone, GEcho Scan would not create a correct INTL.
-
- * Messages with the Direct status will now be packed. Locally entered
- messages will only be packed directly to the destination, in transit
- netmail will be routed normally.
-
- * Fixed various cosmetic problems in GEcho.
-
- * Fixed problem that MBUTIL Convert would not convert empty Hudson
- areas.
-
- * Fixed search function (F4) in the on-line help viewer in GSETUP,
- which would give a match on every line.
-
- * Fixed search function (F4) in the area manager, which would always
- go to the first message when wild card characters where used.
-
- * When using the "Select Hudson board" when specifying a netmail area,
- GSETUP could corrupt memory and cause a strange address to be
- displayed.
-
- * Fixed problem that creation of Return Receipt could hang the system
- and damage the Hudson message base and other files.
-
- * If there was an error while writing to the log file, GEcho would
- keep on trying to write to the log file (recursive call), which
- would eventually cause it to hang.
-
- * GEcho Scan now supports zone gated netmail in JAM areas. If a
- message has the MSG_GATE status, GEcho will route the message
- through the appropriate zone gate.
-
- * Fixed bug that GEcho would hang if all archive names for a node (70
- if Compression extension was set to 0-9) were in use.
-
- * GEcho no longer reported if it was swapping to XMS, EMS or disk, and
- how much memory was swapped out.
-
- * Fixed bug that GEcho did not update the DBRIDGE.EMW file.
-
- * "GCONVERT 11" now converts purge information from JAM areas in
- MESSAGES.RA too.
-
- * Fixed bug that GEcho did not import/move/pack netmail if there were
- 3449 or more .MSG files in the netmail directory.
-
- * Fixed bug that .MSG files created by MBUTIL Post didn't have an
- ASCII datetime field.
-
- * Fixed bug that if daily archives was enabled, GEcho would create a
- new archive every day, but after one week it would continue to add
- mail to the newest archive.
-
- * Fixed bug that if there were more than 5461 areas, GEcho would
- always report "Insufficient memory" when tossing mail. This has been
- fixed, and at the same time the total memory used has been reduced
- by about 32 kB. A "negative" side-effect is that GEcho will now
- report "Security violation"'s per packet rather than reporting it
- only when tossing mail from another node than the last node that
- caused a security violation in a particular area.
-
- * If "Run PKT program once" is set to Yes, GEcho will now rescan the
- packet directory after running the program, to support the usage of
- packet sorters that combine all old packets in to a new packet.
-
-
- New features
- -------------
-
- * GEcho may or may not support tossing bad echomail to/from JAM areas.
- This code has not been thoroughly tested yet. The "Badecho" path has
- been removed, if you want bad echomail tossing to a path, you have
- to select a *.MSG area defined in the Area manager. This area must
- have Area type set to "Badecho".
-
- * GCONVERT now supports the new FastEcho 1.41 structures, and still
- supports the 1.20-1.40 structures too.
-
- * If -TossBad is used, GEcho will no longer toss duplicates from the
- badecho area, to prevent this from happening if for example the
- signature of a message is no longer in the ECHODUPE.GE database.
- Duplicates can be tossed by using the new -TossDupes switch.
-
- * If the reason that a message is the badecho area changes, the
- message will be rewritten with an updated "TYPE:" line. For example,
- if the message was originally an "Unknown area" type of message, but
- when the area has been added it may change in to "Security
- violation" if the "FROM:" address is not in the connections list and
- security is enabled.
-
- * The "Check password" switch now has three states: Yes, No and Auto.
- GEcho now will only automatically set this switch to Yes if a packet
- with the correct password comes in and this switch is set to "Auto".
