What's new?
This file does not necessarily document *ALL* the changes to the PMS code, just
the ones I remembered to add! Very minor changes are often not worth including.
Internal changes that do not effect the outwards operation of the PMS, and
small cosmetic changes, will not normally be included either.
VERSION 2.xx
============
Version 2.xx is NOT compatible with any 1.xx or 2.0x versions.
If you are upgrading from a version 1.xx you must delete ALL the existing
files and directories, and install the PMS from scratch.
Versions prior to 2.30
----------------------
If you are upgrading from a version prior to 2.30 then many things have changed.
I complete re-installation may be the best option, and a good read of the DOC
files is essential! This file now only contains changes from 2.30 onwards.
** Existing registration numbers are still valid **
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.30a
-----
Switched to a new version of the compiler I use to compile the bulk of the PMS
code. Some new compiler features should enable me to reduce the code size a
little, and it should, in theory, be a bit faster.
2.30b
-----
Removed the config command PAGEAUDIO. The default page audio state is now set
by the AUDIO command.
Added the config command AUDIOTIMES. Can be used to set a range of times when
audio is allowed, to automatically silence all audio outside of the specified
times (like when I am in bed asleep!) Only operates when AUDIO is set to TIMED
The sysop AU command is now 3 three way toggle, and sets AUDIO to ON, OFF or
TIMED
Removed the config command DIRECT.
The PMS should now not do any direct screen updates when running under DV
Some changes have been made in the way control codes are interpreted when
displayed on the screen, and when sent to the printer.
You may need to modify any SCREENFILTER and PRINTERFILTER commands.
See the notes.doc file for details.
2.30c
-----
.CC (Carbon Copy) lists may now contain other CC groups.
When importing messages from disk, the @BBS field is now checked against the
WP file, and substitutions made depending on the setting of USEWP in the
config file (as is done for normal messages).
Config command SCREEN removed. The screen mode is now read from the video bios
set-up. The PMS supports screen modes 80x25/43/50 Use the DOS command MODE to
set the required screen mode before running the PMS. i.e. MODE CO80,43
Reverse forward option /R added to forward file (fwdfile.lst).
2.30e
-----
Added the option a specifing multiple files download areas (pseudo drives).
The config command FILES <fsp> is replaced by multiple FILESDIR <fsp> commands.
Added the config command LOGOPTION to control what events are recorded in the
log file.
New version of support program DELUSER.EXE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.31a
-----
Fixed bug with automatic FBB remote sysop password exchange.
Fixed problem with missing line feeds in printer/capture output.
2.31b
-----
Added config option, USENIC <n>, to control the use of full NIC addresses when
doing compressed forwarding. Some BBS sysops complain if their users use the
full address when sending messages, and some complain if they don't!!!
Now you can choose....
