Telegard Bulletin Board Software, v3.01 Revision History Documentation Copyright (C) 1995,1996 by Tim Strike All Rights Reserved. 3.01 Release (final) - June 29, 1996 Installation Notes: Please refer to the documentation INSTALL.DOC for instructions on how to upgrade from previous versions of Telegard, or how to install Telegard for the first time. It is *imperative* that you follow these instructions! Release Notes: This version is a minor upgrade to the 3.00 release. If you are installing 3.01 without having installed 3.00 and were previously running an earlier version of Telegard, please read this entire file. LANGUAGES * Review LANGUAGE.301 for the minor changes to this version. AREAS * Area index will be properly updated when adding, deleting or moving areas. MESSAGES * Moving messages would errantly reassign some memory pointers; this resulted in many problems, including: (a) Message text problems (on moved message) (b) All future replies would have no message information (i.e. to/from/subj text in the header fields) * MN/MW commands would not accept 0 (Area: Email) as a command option. I guess this was left over from previous versions of Telegard, although I don't understand exactly why (the email commands perform both functions, but hey . . . ) * Netmail replies will turn conferences off before loading the message base (and return the conference state afterwards). * Fixed JAM reply thread linking when the reply thread has been damaged (due to packing & renumbering; most JAM tossers do not properly relink the reply thread -- I had code to adjust for this, but was using the wrong variable . . .). This more often than not was represented by a RT100 when saving messages. * Message scanning was starting at the wrong character (missing text which started as the first word in the message). Fixed. FILES * Telegard will now correctly purge the \ARC\ directory after file conversions. Telegard will now also correctly remove the *.#$% temporary files after converting like archives. * FD command with the filename in the MSTRING was expecting the filename in UPPERcase before a match would occur -- it is now automatically converted to uppercase. * File conversions, changing filenames, etc. will no longer "lose" bits of the file description (past 6 lines total). I still haven't found the bug that crunches files down to one line only (no extended descriptions) -- I'm not convinced it's "my" bug yet . . . + FD command with parameter / (and dl queued files>0) will jump straight into the DL queue sequence (skipping the question 'download queue?' entirely). * Commandline TELEGARD -F -N1 would only update files in main conference. Fixed. * Telegard will prompt to create filepaths that are missing in the file manager (it was incorrectly doing this only for CD-ROM drives when it should have been doing the opposite). SCRIPTS * Fixed script de-initialization which would eventually -- after extended script usage -- cause the 17K of reserved memory to be reduced to 0K. This bug has made it through four gamma releases and over a year and a half of testing -- oops on all of us (beta sites and otherwise). OTHER + TITLE command now accepts a fourth parameter; columns to display. Combine the column parameter with other settings: ;;;4 ; change columns to 4 5;14;3;3 ; change colours (5,14,3) & columns to 3 8;15;7 ; change colours + Added XQ access command which is TRUE if there are queued download files, and false otherwise. * WFC should now come up in B/W mode with 'monochrome' toggled on. Commands off the WFC menu should not be black on black for SysOp accounts marked TEXT only. * Events incorrectly executed on non-event nodes, and in the process updated the wrong nodes who's online info. Fixed. * Text highlight was only highlighting properly on the local side; on the remote side, it was not unhighlighting. * Event editor now shows the next scheduled event according to the various settings. The variables which affect this setting are EventTime && Event Days && Forced Event (which controls if skipped events are executed or not). This is mainly for diagnostics, but thought it might be handy . . . * File copy/move percentage was messed up (due to last minute changes) -- I knew of this bug, just didn't fix it -- all patched up now. * Fixed fast/sysop logon features - for some reason I couldn't replicate the problems at all -- even using the 3.0 standard version -- while several people reported problems. But I do know how it was happening, and have it fixed . . .
