JetMail versions history
========================
Version PL Date Changes
--------------------------------------------------------------------
0.99beta10 04.09.94 - Forgotten to increase maximum of forward
areas to 8192.
- The NoCopy statement was accidently removed.
Re-implemented, but renamed to NoMonitor.
- New AreaFix command:
%AVAIL Send list of all areas connected,
areas locally available and areas
which are available from your uplinks
(former %LIST).
%LIST Same as %AVAIL, but without the areas
of your uplinks.
- Superfluous spaces in echomail areatags are
now removed and the sending system (NOT the
originator of the message) gets a notification
about this FTS violation.
- JetMail now informs Semper if JM exported any
mail to have Semper rescan the outbound area
(SingleTask support not yet implemented in
Semper).
- Lastread pointers of areas with -OriginalEcho
were reset while crunching. Fixed.
0.99beta11 31.12.94 - Beta10 had a big scanner bug.
- Supervise doesn't react on messages addressed
to you anymore.
- JetMail now recognizes ^aSEEN-BY lines.
- If someone uses AreaFix with a wrong password,
he/she will get the AFHELP.JM file sent.
- CrashOK bug fixed (didn't work if the link
wasn't a point of your system or a point of
the same boss system).
- Removed AES message code. We hope that this
fixes the problems occuring on some systems.
- JetMail's TIC processor activated. JetMail
has now an internal FileFix and a TIC file
processor. Please consult TICKDOC.TXT for
further explanations.
This was a damn lot of work, I hope there are
not to much bugs in the TIC processor!
JMHatch utility was include to hatch files.
I think this one is self-explaining. If not,
just drop us a message.
Harrie Beuvink was so nice and sent us a
program written by himself which converts
the FILEECHO.BBS (ACS, TICKer-ST) to JetMail's
TICKECHO.BBS format. Thanx Harrie!
- It is now necessary to assign a group to an
area with -Group in order to make it accessible
via AreaFix.
- JetMail adds now a RESCANNED kludge to
rescanned messages according to FSC-0057.
- JetStat modified to be easily scannable by
UNIX tools like SED and AWK etc.
- The file date & time of bundles are now
restored after adding PKTs to them in order
to have Sempers mail age display in the
Outbound dialog being correct.
- JetMail's EXITINFO.SYS was expanded, so a new
version if EXITINFO.TTP is included (adds
FILESENT/FILERCVD parameters).
- ATTENTION: my (Daniels) voice phone number
has changed! It is now +49-261-679285
I'm reachable up to midnight, in emergeancy
cases later.
- Support for the FixedAddress feature of the
upcoming LED 1.25
0.99beta12 01.01.95 - AutoSend now supports file masks as documented.
- TICKECHO.BBS flag -Local added.
- JetMail now keeps comment lines (beginning
with ';') in AREAS.BBS and TICKECHO.BBS when
updating them after using AreaFix/FileFix.
- Big bug in an internal function fixed which
will cause JetMail not running properly on
most systems. :-(
0.99beta13 30.01.95 - AutoSend fixed
- JetMail renamed BIC files to Bnn in the next
TICK run.
- CONFIG.JM Statement "FreeBuffers" removed.
JetMail now frees all dynamic buffers before
execution of external program (packers).
In former versions the BUNDLE run was extremely
slowed down when using FreeBuffers. Changed.
- Rescanning of TIC areas via FileFix removed.
This has no sense and is VERY dangerous.
- Workaround for a bug in LHArc 3.10 implemented.
- Bug in TICK part fixed which caused dupes
(buggy Seenby generation).
- JetMail no longer strips -Desc lines when using
-Local for the specific area in AREAS.BBS
- DisableFileFix didn't work.
- From this version on, only two inbounds are
supported:
Inbound <path>
SecureInbound <path>
- If an forwarded AreaFix request failed,
JetMail wrote something like "There was no
answer within 0 days" in has info message to
the requesting system.
- JetMail's TICKer maintains now a CRC database
TICDUPES.SYS similar to DUPES.SYS for echomail.
- JetMail's TICKer now checks the amount of
free diskspace on the destination partition
when moving files to a file area.
- Rescanning of echomail areas stopped working.
Fixed.
- JetMail's FileFix now supports wildcards as
documented.
- Memory problems while crunching fixed.
- You can now set the maximum length of a
message by
MaxMsgLength <length in bytes>
in CONFIG.JM. Defaults to 32KB. Using higher
values could be dangerous for other programs
interpreting the message length value in the
message header as a signed value. Values
greater than 64KB can't be used. This will
be possible with a new message header format
currently under development.
- Purge From/To/Subject/Text are now working
exactly the same. You specify keywords, which
are searched for, case INsensitive. So no
wildcards are necessary/allowed.
- New "light" version included. JETLIGHT.TTP
has no AreaFix and FileFix functions and so
it's very suitable for point systems.
- JetMail now checks the password in TIC files.
Major bug. Grrrr....
- The scanner takes now care that there is at
least one blank line before the tearline in
a locally exported message.
- Bug in %RESCAN fixed, no AREA tag was written.
- JetMail should now run again under MiNT or
MultiTOS.
- Changed memory handling slightly. Should
prevent most memory fragmentation.
- If using AutoSend with wildcards in the file
specification, JetMail will send now ALL
matching files. Also, it will now MOVE the
files to the file base, not copy them. Please
check your batch files!
0.99beta14 05.02.95 - You can now define secondary TIC areas by
attaching
-Secondary <areas...>
to an area in your TICKECHO.BBS file. All
files received in these secondary areas are
re-distributed in the area for which you used
this definition.
- Bug in [TIC]DUPES.SYS handling fixed.
- New Link statement "TicPassword <pwd>" to
define the password written into the TIC file
if it's different from the FileFixPwd.
- You can now switch the the File reminders
generated by JetMail's TICK-Module on and off
using
%NOTIFY on/off
in FileFix messages. If using "off", the link
flag "NoTicNotify" is set for the requesting
system.
0.99beta15 [inofficial emergeancy release, not distributed
via file echoes]
- TMP file bug fixed.
- JetMail bombed if receiving a TIC from a
non-linked system.
0.99beta16 28.02.95 - If the TIC report footer file didn't exist,
JetMail exited with an I/O error.
- Area option "-ForcePvt" works now also for
non-local areas.
- MaxMsgLength was mis-documented. It takes KBs
as parameter, not Bytes!!!
- PACK doesn't react on local Fix messages
anymore if using Disable[Area/File]Fix.
- TICK crashed if importing TICs without using
CheckTickDupes. Blame on you! ;-)))
- JetMail no longer tries to import MOD files!
:-))))
- Bug concerning ForceConnect fixed (didn't
work under certain circumstances).
- New Link flag "JetMail" which tells JetMail,
that the "other side" is also using JetMail.
This improves import speed at the link
system.
Formerly, this was the default but it caused
some irritations at PC systems.
- DisableAreaFix and DisableFileFix didn't work.
- JetMail bombed under certain circumstances (to
complicated to explain here) if using %RESCAN.
I've implemented a small work-around which
prevents JetMail from bombing until we really
fix this bug.
0.99beta17 02.03.95 - SCAN zeroed the calculated CRC of the MSGID.
- Under certain circumstances the file date and
time was not preserved when copying a file
being imported by TICK. Fixed.
- JetMail did never answer to AreaFix/FileFix
messages. Sorry guys.
0.99beta18 12.03.95 - JetMail's internal gateway facility now
generates REPLYADDR/REPLYTO klduges to gated
messages.
- If using REMOVE=, JetMail didn't kept a
record about the removed area. As a result,
the area was re-created if using AutoArea.
- The "Private" message flag is now passed on
when distributing echomail, especially for
David Blanchard! ;-)
- New CONFIG.JM statement "StartReqCompiler".
If used, JetMail will execute REQUESTC.TOS
in the same folder where JETMAIL.TTP was
executed after processing incoming TICs.
0.99beta19 14.05.95 - The "-Group" statement is now written back
to AREAS.BBS when "-Local" is used, too.
- Mailbundles with length 0 are deleted.
- From now on, all bundles with extension
.<DD>[A-Z] are tried to be imported.
Attention: JetMail will also try to import
.MOD files!!!
- CONFIG.JM flag "NoSaveLocal" was not
recognized by JetMail.
- Bug fixed in the cruncher module which lead
to "Insufficient memory" errors if you
configured large message buffers.
- JetMail complained about missing AreaFixForward
lists by issuing a I/O-Error message and
terminated. Now, only a warning is displayed.
- Small bug concerning [Area/File]Fix %ALL
request receipt message fixed.
- Case sensitivity with TIC area tags removed.
- JetMail now ignores INTL lines with an
address not beginning with [0-9].
[There are braindead PC tosssers which
generate INTL lines with InterNet addresses]
- TIC file replacing is now implemented and is
by default ON. You can turn this off by using
"NoReplace" in CONFIG.JM. Also, you can
switch this feature on/off by using
"-Replace"/"-NoReplace" in TICKECHO.BBS.
JetMail checks for at least four significant
characters in the replace string, so noone
can use "*.*" as replace string.
Currently, you have to edit outgoing TICs
manually if you want to use this feature
in locally hatched TICs. :-(
"Replace" support in JMHatch will come soon!
Replaced files are NOT removed from FILES.BBS,
but this is on our ToDo-list. :-)
No dupechecking is performed if a incoming
file replaces some file(s).
- Existing files incoming files are no longer
overwritten.
- Bug in Origin line parsing for REPLYADDR and
REPLYTO fixed.
- New file announcing outfit. Coments
appreciated!
- Added CONFIG.JM statement "AutoTicArea" with
the same syntax and effect as "AutoArea", but
for TIC areas. The area is added with "ORS"
flags. Sorry, no announcing yet.
- JetMail actively supports "AutoDesc" line in
TIC files.
- New CONFIG.JM keyword "AbsPathes" which forces
JetMail to execute archiver programs with
absolute pathes. Should solve some problems
with Mag!X (MagiC).
- Rescan fixed. The neverending story ;-)
[hopefully got an end now...]
- A missing trailing "\" in TICKECHO.BBS pathes
is now automatically appended.
- You can now lay file areas onto the root of
a partition.
- When appending descriptions to FILES.BBS,
JetMail no longer trashes leading headers.
- AutoSend now uses a probably existing
FILES.BBS file to determine the file
description to use. If not found, the
description provided by the AutoSend command
is used.
- Some changes to "CHANGE" processing
Sorry, no "light" version this time as I simply
have no time to compile it! My plane to
California takes off in three hours...
0.99beta20 08.08.95 - Cruncher module now definately fixed.
- JetMail nwo really tries to import bundles
named .<DD>[A-Z]
- Problems with announce messages fixed.
- If a message was flagged Archive/Sent and
Kill/Sent, the message copy in the archive
area was removed when crunching.
- Too long REPLYIDs let JetMail crash when
scanning.
- ReAddress comparisions now case INsensitive.
- Very long [D]AREAS/TICKECHO.BBS lines with
many connected links can now be splitted
using the new "-Continue" keyword in the
next line. The first address in the
continued line has to be a fully qualified
address again (no abbreviations like ".10"
or so).
When writing BBS files, JetMail splits the
line at a length of approx. 200 characters.
- New JMHatch version which supports several
extended TIC features like Replace etc. For
a description of all features see FSC-0028.
- Multiple "Desc"ription lines in TICs are now
interpreted correctly.
- The "-NoRoute" statement is now valid for
local netmails, too.
- New Link statement "Remark". With this one
you can add ONE comment line to a Link block.
(Yes Albi, we will allow more lines in the
future ;-)
- New TICKECHO.BBS flag "-Overwrite" which
allows to overwrite existing files in this
area with incoming ones.
There is also a global keyword "Overwrite"
in CONFIG.JM.
- If an incoming TIC contains a "Replace",
JetMail will no longer leave the description
of the replaced file(s) in FILES.BBS.
- Added commandline statement "HATCH" to have
JetMail process local hatched files. This
is no longer done with statement "TICK".
- Added several checkings for the ESCape key.
- The "-Desc" line of the FidoNetmail was
removed when JetMail rewrites AREAS.BBS.
- New commandline statement "WRITECFG" to
force JetMail to write out the following
files:
CONFIG.JM
AREAS.BBS
DAREAS.BBS
TICKECHO.BBS
- Fixed problem with AutoTicArea without
UseNetNaming (thanx to Terry May).
- Changed the way JetMail looks for config
files. JetMail looks in the following places
(in this order):
for CONFIG.JM, ROUTE.JM, HATCH.SYS:
$JETMAIL\<files>
.\JETMAIL\<files>
$FIDOCONFDIR\JETMAIL\<files>
for [D]AREAS.BBS and TICKECHO.BBS:
$FIDOCONFDIR\<files>
$MAILER\<files> (just for backward compat.)
.\<files> (LED needs this :-( )
for LED.NEW
$LED\LED.NEW (LED doesn't use $LED yet)
.\LED\LED.NEW
$FIDOCONFDIR\LED.NEW ( - " - )
.\LED.NEW
for QBBS's LASTREAD.BBS
$QBBS\LASTREAD.BBS
.\QBBS\LASTREAD.BBS
$FIDOCONFDIR\QBBS\LASTREAD.BBS
If not specified, $FIDOCONFDIR defaults
to ".\CONFIG\".
This change will (hopefully) lead to a system,
where you can have a single folder
($FIDOCONFDIR) which contains ALL general and
(in subdirectories) program-specific config
files without defining thousands of environment
variables. The search plan above allows to
specify a special search path for every
program installation (like JetMail, LED, QBBS)
if you have an "odd" installation.
I hope I didn't fail to make it clear what
I'm aiming at. If not, just drop a message in
the beta echos.
- JetMail now logs a little "byebye" message
which shows how long the processing took.
If this message is in your logfile, it's also
an indication for a more or less correct
termination instead of bombing.
- Before trying to import a .MOD bundle, JetMail
tries to detect the archiver method. If no
known format is detected, JetMail assumes
the file being a sound module and leaves it
lying in the inbound.
0.99beta21 13.08.95 - Emergency Update. Just TTP & UPDATE.TXT.
JetMail didn't find LED.NEW in the current
directory. Was a typing mistake...
0.99beta22 03.09.96 - Heavy bombing if a TIC area had no description
and JetMail tried to write an AreaDesc line
into a TIC file.
- WRITECFG bombed if no TICKECHO.BBS existed.
Also, an empty DAREAS.BBS was generated.
- Support of $FIDOCONFDIR, $JETMAIL etc. was
only "half-hearted" implemented.
- Crashing while parsing illegal To: lines in
Gateway messages fixed.
- The maximum lenght of descriptions lines in TIC
files is now 250 characters. If a description
consists of more, it will be broken into several
Desc lines. If you use the new Link flag
"LTicDesc", JetMail is permitted to generate
just ONE Desc line with unlimited length.
- Several internal restructurization of JetMail's
AreaFix.
- JetMail could bomb when trying to write back
"Supervise" statements to CONFIG.JM.
- A reply to a gated message in the PvtMailbox
was not sent to the GateArea.
- Keyword "LimitHandles" changed:
LimitHandles <areas> <links>
With them you can limit the open file channels
to 2*areas + links + <2-4 auxilliary files>.
- New commandline parameter +clockwait (or -c or /c).
If used, JetMail doesn't wait for a key to be
pressed when a clock failure was detected.
JetMail terminates after 10 seconds.
- Area Forwarding completely redesigned. Please
consult AF_FWD.UPD.
ATTENTION: You have to delete your FWD.SYS!!!
- Using "Replace" & "Author" in JMHatch had no effect
to the generated TIC files.
- JetMail no longer adds his identification to
the tearline of gated messages.
- Area flag "-NoHistory" was not written back
to the DAREAS.BBS file.
- Daniel Rsen's FidoNet address has recently
changed to 2:2454/95.2@fidonet.org and the
InterNet address to droesen@pobox.com
- Some more checks for the ESC key.
- "-NoAnnounce" works now as expected.
- Forwarding bug fixed (Thanx to Ton)
- The ReAddress option "NoNotify" was written
back badly to CONFIG.JM.
- ReAddress became a new option: "RouteInterNet"
Example: [line splittet]
ReAddress "Joerg Spilker" 2:2432/303
"spilker@aventure.teuto.de" 2:2432/350.999
RouteInterNet
All mail to J.S. is now redirected to the
InterNet gateway at 2432/350 with a
"To: spilker@aventure.teuto.de" line inserted
as the first message line.
- There wa a big bug in the importing module.
It crashed if a message bigger than 64kB
was being imported (this bug was discovered
at while the NeST meeting in April at Joerg's
place).
- "Dest" keyword in TICs are now recognized and
generated. This is needed for some TIC
processors interpreting this line. Formerly,
JetMail just passed this keyword through and
that lead to "not for our system" errors
at the remote site.
- JetMail knows now "RAR". New keywords for
defining the packer are introduced:
RARpack
RARextract
Besides ARJmail, LZHmail etc. Jetmail now
knows about RARmail...
- You can now switch to a new outbound folder
naming style with a Base36 zone number.
This is useful with BinkleyTerm and probably
later with Semper. The keyword is called
"Base36Folders".
- %RESCAN now works also with wildcard requests.
- JetMail generates a FILES.BAK after moving
a file to the filebase. From now on, it does
this only after a complete "TICK" run instead
of after each moved file.
- New keyword "LongFileDesc". If used, the
information of the LDesc lines (if present)
of the TICs is used when announcing processed
files and for FILES.BBS.
- Multiple entries in SeenBy lines in TICs are
now supported (some DOS TICers need this...)
- Usage of an unknown group in a "Groups" line
lead to a crash when perfoming area forwarding.
0.99beta23 29.06.97 - The -Group statement is now also written in the
netmail area.
- Spaces/Tabs at the beginning of Purge statement
are now eliminated.
- "To:" line in gateway messages is now recognized
case insensitive.
- Writing the config.jm file crashed when there was
an Autosend statement with no description.
- TIC parsing crashed when processing tic files with
more than 300 seenby entries.
- Better filtering of the [^AAREA] from the Mailbox.
- When using Autosend with *.* as filemask, it won't
send any files.bbs files now.
- Replacing a multiple line at the last position
in files.bbs doesn't work properly.
- Maximum number of open packets for Limithandles
reduced from 8 to 6.
- Replacing a read-only file during tic processing
now just gives a warning.
- When the zone/net/node/point numbers are invalid,
JetMail will just issue a warning and not stop
further processing.
- Better guessing of origin/destination domain when
parsing TIC files. Should solve the problem with
uplinks in same zone/different domain.
- JetMail can now handle multiple netmail areas.
Any additional netmail area is defined with the
"-Netmail <domain>" statement in areas.bbs.
Use it if you're having two nets with same zone
in different domains or if you want to separate
your netmail for other reasons.
- JetMail now also includes a FileBase cruncher.
The following new keywords are possible in
config.jm (all defaults to 0 which means no
crunching at all).
StdMinFiles <files>
StdMaxFiles <files>
StdMaxDays <days>
You can overwrite these values in TICKECHOS.BBS
for every area with the keywords:
-MaxFiles <files>
-MinFiles <files>
-Days <files>
And if you don't want some files to be crunched
just use the
-NoDelete <filemask>
keyword.
You can activate the FileBase cruncher with the
CRUNCHFILES/MAINTFILES cmdline option.
Use this feature carefully. It isn't heavily
tested.
- This is the last release before 1.00
