- Version History:
-
- 0.59
-
- Fixed bug that made pancake lose users if a crash ocurred.
- Stupid DEBUG message removed.
- Port Prefs completely redone. You MUST re-setup ports for new format (but
- you shouldn't have to do it again, left plenty of room to expand.)
- Telnet port setable, Call Sound settable, adsp name setable, and More!
- Most options in the new port prefs are now implemented.
- There is now a current group that is show at the hotkey or waffle shell which
- can be changed by the [S]elect command, or just typing the name in the
- waffle shell. Posting by default uses that group.
- The [S]hell command has moved to [E]Shell, and will eventually move to the
- define command.
- The READ command is implemented! [ and ] now switch the current group in
- both shells!
- The sounds file is now opened in the System dir, making it easy to add your
- own sounds (more events to add sounds to, to come soon).
- TAIL command implemented!
- SHOW command now tails the logs to 240 lines.
- LAST command now tails the Caller log to 10 lines.
- USERS command now uses a string to config output
- Added extention of % vars that allows the percent variables to be padded
- Eg: "%n:a" pads %n to 1 char, "%b:z" pads %b to 26 chars. (may change, kinda
- stupid way of doing it!). Only implemented for strings so far.
- Printing is now supported. It's pretty quick and works good. Need to add
- Page Setup still, but it does work. The print command is :P in Rn.
- PrintAcs added in System Prefs Misc
- Chat options moved to Chat in Sys Prefs.
- Added Chat sound, SOS Sound, Chat Acs, SOS Acs.
- Implemented all above acs's, and SOS command.
- < and > in RN now work right! Flips through the cuurent thread quickly, and
- easily.
- :COMMANDS changed to /COMMANDS, makes more sense that way. (And is quicker).
- /P prints, /B batch Writes, and /? Lists the Extended Rn Help
- Added a lot of extensions to the external editor interface. Editors doing
- the right thing will NOT have to be recompiled any time anything major
- happens to the internal structors of Pancake.
- Fixed a bug that was screwing up all UUCP posting and mailing.
-
- 0.58
-
- UUCP Launch Settings implemented.
- Added settings for phone format. Phone format totally customizable.
- Automated phone prompt like the date prompt.
- Parser, UUCP, and Term now use FSSpecs, more to be converted later.
- Parser, and UUCP now launched into the background.
- Term and UUCP getting back the port is MUCH more robust, fixed several bugs.
- Customizable header for RN now can be longer than 255 when expanded.
- Last Launched not updated if delayed since a user is on.
- Default Newscan is followed for a new users joined newsgroups.
- No More [PAUSE] when typing text into the line editor.
- ADSP is now implemented. It works great.
- Pancake now rescans the message pointers in every group when read every 4
- hours.
- Parse News recompiled for new rescanning method (sped up too). Now included
- in distribution.
- Got ZModem working. Sz, sx, sy, rz, ry, rx work, make sure tools named
- 'XModem Tool', 'ZModem Tool'.
- Join bug fixed.
- Fixed ClrScr procedure, clears better now. %* now adds apropriate clear for
- the terminal.
- Added BBS Name in System Prefs. ADSP uses it to register itself.
- Zmodem VERY robust, returns lot's of errors. Great error checking now.
- Sucker prefs now implemented, menu item added, and SUCK command added.
- Line Editor now runs as many concurrent sessions as memory allows (a LOT!)
- NUP prompt is just like the other password prompts, no echoing.
- Fixed uucpFile launching problems. Fixed empty dir, divide by zero.
- Added unix equiv of dir (ls) and del (rm).
- Reworked ADSP code, should be much more reliable. Reports all errors!
- Parts of the ports init re-done. Fixes a bunch of bugs.
- RN could freeze under certain conditions, fixed.
- Fixed bug in HandSummary (used in quoting and listing messages) for headers
- longer then 256 chars.
- Port negotiation of uucp, sucker, and term much improved.
- Acs Engine finally written. Telnet and Uucp check the acs's, more to come.
- More than one uucp Mail should now seperate, but I had no file to check on
- so, I doubt it'll work.
- Little bug fix with Alias resolution.
- Join command can now take a paramater of the newsgroup to join or unjoin.
- Implemented global Ports setup.
- If PPP Enabled and PPP Starts up on a Pancake serial port, Pancake will give
- the port to MacPPP seemlessly. (Loading Eudora while the bbs is running,
- works just dandy).
- If Open PPP option is on, PPP is opened before telnet or finger is used.
- If Close PPP option is on, PPP is closed after all telnet's and fingers are
- done. (Soon Sucker, and STMP Mail will also Open and Close PPP).
- Telnet takes parameters 3..numParams as expect send sequence. Following is
- possible "telnet unix2.netaxs.com 23 login: ferrari word: mypassword"
- makes it possible to automate many telnet logins.
- Aliases file in users home directory now examined for alias commands,
- especially useful for above feature.
