- This bulletin is updated each time that a new version of WR-BBS is released.
- Bugs are inevitable in any complex program such as a BBS application. When
- a bug is discovered, it is corrected in the next maintenance release, or if
- it severely affects operation, in an immediate patch. SysOps running WR-BBS
- are encouraged to download the latest version of WR-BBS (or any patches that
- may be issued). There is never a charge for maintenance updates or patches.

- BUG # 1 Fixed in version 0.97P
-
- The FILE SEARCH routine sometimes failed with an error message stating that
- a bad index key was found.
-
- Procedure was re-written to eliminate duplicate key being added when a file
- was added to library after deleting a file description.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BUG # 2 Fixed in version 0.97P
-
- In the WHO CALLED TODAY routine, if the caller aborted display before full
- screen was drawn, prompts were jumbled together.
-
- Added CR/LF to this procedure to eliminate strings being output without
- seperation.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BUG # 3 Fixed in version 0.97P
-
- In the MESSAGE EDIT routine, a caller attempting to edit a message could
- not type a 74 character line, even though 74 characters was originally
- allowed for the message lines.
-
- Corrected the local string variable's length to allow 74 character length
- when editing a line.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BUG # 4 Fixed in version 0.97P
-
- If a caller is logged on when the date changes (midnight passes), and drops
- carrier after midnight has passed, his "time remaining" is set to an
- invalid value ( -32766 ) and that caller cannot log on again until the next
- day.
-
- Corrected carrier detection function to properly adjust for date wrap when
- tearing down call after a carrier loss.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BUG # 5 Fixed in version 0.97P
-
- Callers who use old fashioned TTY equipment, with no ANSI support, miss the
- first line of the initial answer screen, or this line is skewed over two
- lines.
-
- Placed the non-ansi screen clearing character on its own line so screen is
- cleared before any text is transmitted.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BUG # 6 Fixed in version ?.???
-
- No "new files since last call" routine, even though this was described in
- the original product specification of January 17, 1992.
-
- Support for this feature will be added in the next update.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BUG # 7 Fixed in version 0.97P
-
- If SysOp manually deletes a user account, and that same user is the very
- next caller to attempt a logon, system finds their deleted record and
- requires their old password to log in. Extremely rare, but a bug.
-
- Found problem in deferred update operation of W-TREE Database Manager. Has
- been corrected in W-TREE Database Manager version 10.9 for WR-BBS 0.97P.
