! Mystic now clears the temporary directory after each mass uploaded file,
just in case a second .DIZ is in an archive.
+ The FS editor DRAW mode now has an Upload ANSI option added to the menu.
! Fixed a small bug when ANSI was posted into a NON-ANSI base that could
cause the converted ASCII to get distorted.
+ When generating quote data, Mystic will no longer wrap the first line into
the second line if the line is a KLUDGE line.
+ New MUTIL option for [ExportEchomail] entitled "skip_online". If this value
is set to true, Mystic will not toss new messages posted by them if they
are currently logged into the BBS. Combined with "create semaphores at
logout", this should give users their entire time logged in to edit their
messages before they'll be sent, even if other users create semaphores.
! I accidentally compiled Mystic with a 1000 line message limit. It has been
changed to 10,000 lines per message now.
+ Mystic now fully supports unlimited reply tracking, using reply first,
reply next, and reply to for each message. This carries over to the
echomail linking and message base purging/packing as well.
! Fixed a bug which could cause NodeSpy's snooping sessions to abruptly end
in Windows.
+ The CL mci code (clear screen) and any other function based clear screens
done by Mystic will now send ESC[H to home the cursor before the 2J for
better compatibility with non ANSI-BBS terminals.
+ Mystic now has internal Xmodem (1K/CRC), Ymodem, Ymodem-G to go along with
the existing Zmodem protocol. Similarly to Zmodem, they are configured
in the protocol editor with the following send/receive commands:
@xmodem
@ymodem
@ymodemg
A new protocol.dat has been included with the default installation that
has these new protocols added, so it can be copied over the old
protocol.dat if you haven't made changes specific to your system.
+ Increased the speed of statistic calculation in Nodespy significantly.
+ Character input within the configuration editors now allows characters
to be input by the ASCII number or the key itself.
+ Revamped the Login/Matrix settings in the configuration, moving some
options that were in General that probably made more sense in Login
options.
+ Mystic can now send client terminals either CP437 or UTF8 data output,
converting relevant outbound data to UTF8 when selected. For compatibility
reasons, data still has to be stored in CP437 encoding within Mystic itself
+ Mystic now has two new options in the Login configuration which go along
with the UTF8 encoding:
Default CodePage
Ask CodePage
** READ THIS:
If you do not understand what these are, set Default to CP437 and
Ask CodePage to "Detect". What this basically does is allows users to use
things like Putty to connect to your BBS, and everything should look and
work as expected.
When Mystic starts up, by default a user will have the configured "Default"
code page. Then depending on the setting of "Ask CodePage", Mystic will do
one of the following:
Detect : Mystic only changes codepage from default if it is able
to detect a terminal that is likely NOT the default, but the
user is never prompted.
Ask : Mystic will ask the user which Codepage they would like
to use after detecting ANSI.
CP437 : Codepage will always be set to MS-DOS (CP437)
UTF8 : Codepage will always be set to UTF8
In Linux, the Default code page will actually be what Mystic runs in
when you run mystic from the command line, too. In Windows, the Sysop
side will always execute in CP437, even when a user is logged in that
has UTF8 enabled (the user of course will still get sent UTF8).
One other consideration, is that many terminals that use UTF8 are using
VT102 instead of ANSI-BBS, which means a few things are different - most
noticably are ANSI clear screen codes. In ANSI-BBS, the clear screen also
moves the cursor to 1,1, while in VT102 it does not. This means its best
to edit your ANSIs and add a |CL at the very top so Mystic clears the
screen in a compatible way.
+ When a user selects UTF8 encoding, Mystic will now assume their terminal
sends VT102 DELETE/BACKSPACE keys rather than the MS-DOS terminal behavior.
+ MUTIL now has a function called to pack and check integrity of file bases,
and a new header in MUTIL called [PackFileBases] has been added. Please
see the default MUTIL.INI in the new installation for more information.
The old broken filepack in MBBSUTIL is gone now.
+ Mystic now prompts for confirmation when using the (U)pdate DIZ command
from the file directory listing, to lessen the change that a SysOp injects
a new .DIZ into an archive without meaning to.
+ New options for the GD "Display a file" menu command. The old optional
data where just the filename is supplied continues to work, but now if
the first character is @ it will expect a few options in the following
format:
Format #1: filename
Format #2: @baudrate@true/false/end@filename
The @baudrate field specifies the baud rate to display the file.
The second field defines how file pauses should work. If set to TRUE
the file will pause. If set to false it will not pause. If set to END
then it will only pause after displaying the file.
The final @filename is just the same as the format #1
For example:
@38400@end@bogacid1.ans
The above would display JEDs 250kb ANSImation at 38400 baud, with no
pauses except for one at the end.
+ New option in Login/Matrix settings: "Login after Apply". If set to Yes
Mystic will automatically send the user to the login after they apply for
a new account through the Matrix.
+ PYTHON is here! New menu command 'GY' will execute a Python 2.7 syntax
script. By default Mystic looks in the script directory for .MPY files,
using the same logic as MPX. If you supply a file with no extention,
Mystic will add .mpy onto it. If you do not supply a path, then Mystic
will look in the current theme's script directory, and then the default
script directory if fallback is enabled.
Example:
Command: GY
Data: testpython
The above executes testpython.mpy from the Scripts directory
Example:
Command: GY
Data: c:\mystic\derp\herpderp
The above executes herderp.mpy from the c:\mystic\derp directory, or
if it is not found and fallback is enabled for the current theme, Mystic
will look in the default scripts directory.
+ MUTIL now doesn't completely crap out if it does not have access to the
files it needs on startup in Linux.
+ Mystic is now compiled with FPC 3.0.0 in Windows and Linux!
! The /TO: option when posting a new message in a public base was still
presenting the TO field.
<ALPHA 1.12 A1 RELEASED -- Feb 9, 2016>
! Mystic will not crash when skip_online is set to false during echomail
tossing.
! Added the forgotten prompt 315 to the default prompts
+ Moved the Python intialization code to only execute the first time a
script is ran, so that if Python is incorrectly installed it will not
prevent Mystic from loading with an error.
If you get a "Import error: no module named site" when you DO try to
execute a Python script, its because you have Python on your system but
it is not completely installed. You'll need to set your environment
variables. For example if you have Python installed in C:\Python27:
SET PYTHONHOME=C:\PYTHON27
SET PYTHONPATH=C:\PYTHON27\LIB
SET PATH=%PYTHONHOME%;%PATH%
- Removed the -FCHECK command from MBBSUTIL since MUTIL's file pack
function now covers the same stuff while it packs bases.
- Squish message bases have now been removed. They were never used and
supporting two aging standards was a waste of time, and annoying. Now
that its gone, expect additional polish on the JAM side.
+ MUTIL now has a new function [LinkMessages]. This scours your echomail
bases and creates reply links between messages. See MUTIL.INI for more
details and options (I may be rewriting the msgbase packer too)
+ Message header prompts and display files now have a &A display code
which returns the "Reply Next" field.
+ A2 will be compiled with increased compiler optimizations to see if
there are any negative effects.
+ Prompts beginning with a # will now execute a Python script similar to
MPL and display files:
@myansi <- Shows myansi from your theme's text dir
!mympl <- Execute mympl.mpx from theme's script dir
#mypython <- Execute mypython.mpy from theme's script dir
In the small case that you ever need to start a prompt with one of
these characters, you can prefix it with the "dummy" MCI code <pipe>XX
+ DOCS section now has a fully updated mci_display_codes.txt with all
current codes documented!
+ Mystic now shows a "there are no files in this base" message when a user
lists files in a base which HAS files, but none that are accessible to
them.
<ALPHA 1.12 A2 RELEASED -- Feb 11, 2016>
+ Mystic's menus now generate unique IDs for each menu item, rather than
referencing by the record order. This makes using Grid menus MUCH more
feasible. When they are loaded and saved for the first time in the menu
editor they will automatically "upgrade" themselves, so there is no need
for conversion.
+ Mystic's message reader and FS editor can now handle WWIV, Synchronet,
PCBoard, Wildcat color codes in addition to the already supported pipe
and full blown ANSI.
+ Increased max menu items to 99 per menu with 25 commands per item.
+ The Theme editor now has an option to edit menus within the theme. This
is just an alternative place to find the menu editor.
+ Changed /F Flags inside the menu editor to less confusing /S Settings
+ File base configurations now have a Hatch ACS value to determine who has
the ability to hatch files from that file base.
+ Message base editor now warns you if you set a QWK network for a message
base, but then do not set the conference ID.
+ Significantly increased JAM lastread performance on systems with more
than 100 users.
+ MUTIL msgpack now handles JAM's ReplyNext field when packing.
+ Last read pointers are now stored by the user's permanent index.
+ acs_comment field in MUTIL FILEBONE and FILETOSS have changed to acs_hatch
so update your .INI files if you use these and want to set hatch ACS in
those situations.
+ When receiving a node message you can now request to chat with the person
who sent the message. Updated prompt 145. Note the first two characters
are the characters used in the prompt followed by a space and then the
text:
; Message from another node footer. First word contains input keys,
followed by prompt
145 RC |CR|09Node Message: |01[|10R|01]|09eply, |01[|10C|01]|09hat, or
|01[|10ENTER|01/|10Continue|01]|09: |15
+ When editing message text, Mystic will now not resolve color codes so they
are not lost when converting from ANSI to ASCII stripping colors. This
should fix up losing the colors in your signautures if you edit messages
+ Reworked Protocol configuration. There no longer needs to be a Protocol
entry for both a Batch and non-batch version of a protocol. Instead the
Batch flag specifies if it is a batch protocol or not. New PROTOCOL.DAT
+ Uploading a message to the FS editor no longer annoyingly asks for a
filename, unless a Protocol is selected that would require it, or you are
uploading a file from the local disk.
+ Reworked the file upload function so that it never asks for filenames
unless it absolutely has to. The transfer protocol is now the first
question if a default is not set, followed by the filenames if needed.
Gone is the display file BLINDUL. Gone is "Blind Upload?" prompt #375
+ Mystic now prompts for ENTER just before a transfer begins, and allows
an option to abort here. This was done to give users an option to abort
if they have a default protocol set. Replace the old prompt with the
new one:
; Press ENTER to start file transfer &1=selected protocol
; First word is input chars, followed by display text
065 SQ |CR|09Press |01[|15ENTER|01/|15S|01]|09tart or
|01[|15ESCAPE|01/|15Q|01]|09uit your |15|&1 |09transfer: |XX
+ The Upload Base settings in the File Base Settings now uses the File
base permanent index instead of the record position. If you use this
setting you should double check that yours is correct after upgrading.
+ Message and File groups now have unique identifiers associated to them.
+ Mystic's lightbar menus now automatically work with mouse input when
using a compatible terminal
+ All configuration editors now list everything by unique ID instead of
record position
+ Cleaned up the remote mouse support in the system configuration so it
should work much better now in the main pulldown menu.
+ Added a new record-size aware and automatically buffered file I/O class to
MPL with the following functions:
FileOpen
FileEOF
FileRead
FileSeek
FilePos
FileSize
FileWrite
FileWriteBlock
FileRead
FileReadBlock
FileClose
+ Compiled MPL programs greater than 16KB should now run faster, while
smaller MPL programs should use less memory.
+ When passing -X to execute MPL from command line, Mystic will now longer
replace _ with spaces in the filenames. Instead it is expected that you
use quotations around the arguement if it has spaces.
+ MPL now allows embedded records!!! For example:
Type
Record1 = Record
A : Byte;
End;
Type
Record2 = Record
A : Record1;
End;
Var
Test : Record2;
Begin
Test.A.A := 10;
End.
! Fixed a small memory leak in the echomail tosser
+ MUTIL now logs the time each process takes to complete which is logged and
displayed on the screen.
+ Rewrote the message reply linking now that Squish is gone, and it should be
up to 50% faster now. Removed the "quick_link" option which at least for
now (it is now always on).
! Fixed a bug with the message base packer that was preventing it from
properly adjusting the reply linking when renumbering message bases
+ Mystic now uses JAM's third reply field (ReplyTo, ReplyFirst, ReplyNext)
in all areas of the BBS and its utilities.
+ File base file listings now generate CRC64 signatures that are used for
increased speed during file duplication scans. These are stored in .DFX
files, one for each entry in the file listing.
+ MUTIL mass upload now supports @TEXTDIZ during mass uploads, which is a
feature of Mystic that can extract embedded @BEGIN_FILE_ID_DIZ tags from
text files and use them as the file description. Previously this only
worked from user uploads to the BBS or the online mass upload.
+ Mystic's online .DIZ processor during uploads and mass upload can now
parse PCBoard, Wildcat, and WWIV color codes in .DIZ files in addition to
the already supported PIPE and ANSI.
+ MUTIL's mass upload can now handle .DIZ files with embedded ANSI, PIPE,
PCBoard, WildCat, and WWIV color codes. Mystic will translate them into
ASCII and then apply colors to it using pipe codes, then save it so that
it shows as intended, but can easily be stripped of color when needed.
+ Rewrote MUTILS mass upload logic so that it is literally thousands of
times faster than it used to be while doing even more than it was. Check
out these differences in speed, its pretty crazy:
BEFORE: Mass Upload Files Uploaded 10000 file(s) DONE 364.29s
AFTER: Mass Upload Files Uploaded 10729 file(s) DONE 0.45s
AFTER: Mass Upload Files Uploaded 10729 file(s) DONE 11.73s
The first "AFTER" was with .DIZ importing turned off the second was with
full DIZ importing. 729 files most of which had .DIZ files and then
10,000 small text files that were scanned for @BEGIN_FILE_ID.DIZ tags and
the total was 11.73 seconds, an improvement of 352.56 seconds! Adding one
file into a database of 10s of thousands took 8/100th of a second!
+ Files uploaded by FTP will now import DIZ descriptions into the BBS using
ANSI, Pipe, Wildcat, PCBoard, or WWIV colors, like other areas of the BBS
+ Significantly increased the speed of duplicate file searches in Mystic,
MUTIL (mass upload, TIC processing), and the FTP server.
+ TIC importing can now handle .DIZ files with ANSI, pipe, etc and even
embedded @BEGIN_FILE_ID.DIZ tags like everything else can now.
! Fixed a bug that could make the cursor go a little weird when pressing
the HOME key at the end of the lightbar file lists.
<ALPHA 1.12 A3 RELEASED -- Feb 18, 2016>
! Fixed a small memory leak that could occur when an invalid echomail link
sneaks into the datafiles.
+ More general performance increases centered around file I/O.
+ Pressing enter on the OTHER tab in CFG would cause a crash in A3.
+ MUTIL now properly merges and regenerates SEEN-BY and PATH kludges with
proper sorting of SEEN-BY when Mystic is hubbing echomail to downlinks.
! Fixed a bug with MUTIL netmail routing when Mystic is hubbing a network
! Adding new groups was not correctly assigning an incremented group ID.
If you have groups created in A3 you'll have to recreate them if it
have the same ID as another group.
! Fixed missing From/To/Subj info in the message reader that I broke in A3
<ALPHA 1.12 A4 RELEASED -- Feb 20, 2016>
+ MUTIL now removes duplicate SEEN-BY information when tossing messages
+ The GD (display a file) command can now have a " /NEW" appended on the
end of the command data, which if found, will only display the file if
its file date is more recent than the user's last login.
! Fixed .DIZ importing during online upload and online mass upload that I
broke when redoing the batch uploads.
! Deleting HISTORY.DAT will now also reset the system callers number when
Mystic attempts to update the history for the first time.
+ You can now move between prompts using up/down keys while simulating
prompts in the theme editor.
! Fixed a bug which could cause the node to lock up in Linux when using
DI baud emulation codes.
! Fixed weirdness in ignore functions from MUTIL mass upload introduced
in the last alpha.
+ Added a ton of debug logging to MUTIL mass upload since its a rewrite
so turn loglevel 3 on if you have any problems and send me the results
+ Selecting the hotkey in the menu editor from the list (CTRL+L) now gives
a brief description of some of the preset hotkey values
+ Minor visual clean ups in the System Configuration that no one will notice
except for my OCD.
+ The System Configuration now has a General Settings > Config Theme option
which switches between the Default configuration theme we're all used to or
a Custom theme. For now the colors of the custom theme are not
configurable but some reasonable defaults are in place in the meantime.
! Added a "never delete" flag into the User editor which prevents users from
ever being deleted by a user packer/purger. This has always been a feature
but it was mistakenly missing from the user editor.
+ New user flag option "Force password change" will force the user to change
their password on their next login to the BBS.
<ALPHA 1.12 A5 RELEASED -- Feb 24, 2016>
+ Mystic's NNTP server now properly auto reformats free flowing lines when
long messages are posted.
! When uploading a message that doesn't contain any content, Mystic was
sometimes confusing the current line being edited in the FS editor
+ NNTP server no longer logs passwords even with the highest log setting
+ NNTP server now adds TZUTC kludges to echomail posted via newsgroup
readers.
! Fixed lots of issues with FTP upload introduced recently. FTP uploads
were not using the base ID to find the file base, and the .DIZ importing
was broken. Everything should be back to normal now (hopefully) but I
will be doing more testing in the future.
+ If the SIZE field is missing from a TIC file, Mystic will now calculate
the file size by looking at the actual file received.
+ Enabled verbose FTP server logging, similar to NNTP server. These will
both be loglevel 3 logs when I switch over to the log rollers soon.
! Users marked for deletion that were not yet physically removed were still
showing up in the user listing.
+ The FTP server now allows files to be deleted via FTP from Mystic's file
bases, if the logged in user meets the Sysop ACS requirements for that
base.
! Fixed a small memory leak in MIS's server status window.
+ Mystic will now add a DUPE kludge to messages when moving to the bad
message base using the following format:
@DUPE <Areatag> <PKT origin> <PKT dest>
+ Added a new Archive viewing system. This will create a virtual disk space
of an archive, and allow you to nagivate the archived files, directories
and even any number of archives within the archive itself.
You can download and view files from anywhere, even when in an archive
inside of an archive inside of an archive, etc. The usual cursor movement
functions are available, along with remote mouse support and on the fly
text searching by simply typing.
Two new files go along with this using the new(er) template format:
archive_view.ans - Contains the ANSI of the browser UI
archive_view.ini - Contains all of the prompts and configuration options
For the moment ZIP, RAR, LZH, and LHA are supported but I am looking into
additional formats. For now I think I've covered the most common/needed.
+ Message base global editor now allows you to specify the ANSI flag
+ Minor cosmetic things to MUTIL to expand the status field and add commas
+ Mystic's MUTIL will now refuse to save duplicate messages when tossing
echomail if the configured dupe message base is not a local type base.
<ALPHA 1.12 A6 RELEASED -- Mar 1, 2016>
+ The Echomail Nodes editor now has functions to /Copy /Paste and /Move
entries.
+ When using the /Exports editor in the Echomail node configuration, you
can now add new exports in bulk, by tagging any number of message bases.
+ Mystic now strips leading and trailing spaces from PKT AREA tags just in
case a poorly formatted message is received with AutoCreate enabled.
+ When simulating prompts in the Prompt editor, Mystic will now show the
PromptInfo codes in their formatted place
+ Added some new permanent debug logging to Message Purging function
+ Mystic's message packer no longer recalculates the "date arrived" field
when packing bases. Some 3rd party stat tools use this and not the date
the message was written for stat generation, and this could throw off its
reporting from date ranges.
! Fixed ANSI gallery crash in Linux 64-bit version
! Fixed broken ANSI display baud emulation in 64-bit Linux version
! Fixed quirkiness causing Pi version to sometimes crash on login.
<ALPHA 1.12 A7 RELEASED -- Mar 11, 2016>
! Fixed Pi crashing in A7 on login from MIS
+ Cleaned up the BINKP server authentication logging to be a little more
clear when describing what its doing. It should be much easier to
understand even with full debug logging on.
! (Hopefully) fixed issues with Shell, BBS events not honoring the day of
the week during execution. Reduced the resources used by the event system
! User editor was not properly saving the "Never delete" flag
+ Added "getuser" and "onekey" functions into Python and updated the
testpython.mpy in the default install. This will continue to be updated
as new functions and features are added and I need to test them.
+ New menu command *T opens the theme editor
- Removed all door menu commands except for DD and D3. The old ones will
continue to work for now, but there are only 2 commands (DD and D3) to
execute a DOS or Door32 door. Mystic creates all drop files now for any
door execution.
+ %0 now gives the socket handle on door command lines in Linux (like it does
already in Windows)
! Deleting file bases using the file base editor was not properly deleting
the data files when selected to do so.
+ File Base editor now has a /Reset command similar to the Message Base
editor that will reset the file listings in the base, while maintaining
all of the other important details (user scan settings, echo exports).
! Fixed a problem with duplicate file searching in Linux, but *everyone*
should make sure they run the MUTIL file base packer so Mystic can
regenerate indexes for their file listings.
+ Lots of UTF8 cleanups. Mystic now has a Local CodePage option which is
used as the default when the -L command is used (local login). This
allows separate defaults local console vs an incoming caller.
+ UTF8 was not working in -CFG mode. It now uses the local codepage.
+ INSTALL program for OSX now defaults to using UTF8 and no longer bleeds
screen data after viewing update/whatsnew.
+ ReWrote the group changing code. Calculation of the number of bases per
group should be much faster now.
+ MUTIL will now honor the local codepage and run in UTF8 in Linux/OSX
+ MIS will now honor the local codepage and run in UTF8 in Linux/OSX
+ NODESPY will now honor the local codepage and run in UTF8 in Linux/OSX
! Fixed kludge lines bleeding into ANSI in some ANSI message posts
! Fixed a bug sometimes causing OSX to error with "Cannot find MYSTIC.DAT"
+ FILES.BBS importer now has a few new options to help speed things up as
well as support more variations in formats. See Wiki or MUTIL.ini for more
! The uploader name would show the date in listings when a file had zero
lines of description (a situation Mystic itself cannot create)
! After tossing nearly 3 million echomail messages, I think I finally found
a bad memory reference which I hope could be the cause of some strangeness
seen by one or two systems over the past year or so. Fixed either way.
+ Local Codepage now defaults to UTF8 in OSX (OSX defaults to UTF8)
+ INSTALL will now exit if the any of the directories already exist instead
of letting you reinstall over. Sorry for those who like this option I
will probably as a Yes/No at a later date.
+ Local Codepage now defaults to UTF8 for Pi (Jessie defaults to UTF8)
+ NodeSpy terminal now also supports CTRL+I and CTRL+D to delete after I
realized that Apple keyboard have no INSERT key. Apple is so weird...
! Some fixes for screen artifacts in OSX and Pi, things look very pretty
and although no one uses it, the OSX version is really coming along!
<ALPHA 1.12 A8 RELEASED -- Mar 25, 2016>
+ Rewrote the online Mass Upload which should have some minor speed
improvements when adding a large amount of files but its still no where
near as fast as MUTIL (at the cost of using WAY less memory).
! Fixed another bug in the MUTIL massupload in Linux which was causing it
to generate file indexes for Windows system (case insensitive) and would
result in creating duplicate file list entries.
! Fixed a bug with placing Netmail messages in the wrong Netmail base that
was introduced in A8. This did not break netmail just made things weird.
+ Mystic Windows now disables the "X" close button in the Window so you can't
force close Mystic and create ghost users. Should have done this years
ago!
+ MUTIL now has a second type of log rolling. While the existing type rolls
by file size, logs can now also roll by day. Daily logs will have a date
stamp appended to them, for example "mutil.20160329.log" and after a
certain
number of days, the oldest file will be erased.
! Fixed a bug in the new ZIP viewer code which would cause crashes while
viewing certain ZIP files or during uploads when importing FILE_ID.DIZ
+ An "id" option can be set in NodeSpy's general stanza which will append
onto the Window title when running. For example, if:
[General]
id = My BBS
Then the Window titles will have the ID appended, such as:
"NodeSpy/Main (My BBS)"
! Fixed a NNTP lockup bug that I introduced in an earlier alpha
+ NNTP server now will trim blank lines off of the beginning of the message
instead of just the end.
! (Hopefully) fixed file searching crashes in Windows XP.
<ALPHA 1.12 A9 RELEASED -- Mar 30, 2016>
+ Added three new menu commands for creating and evaluating semaphores
from within the menu system. @NODE can be replaced with the node number if
desired. See Wiki for more info:
!C - Creates the semaphore filename in optional data
!D - Delete the semaphore filename in optional data if it exists
!E - Check if semaphore filename exists and set result in "OK" ACS.
+ When copying a message from one base to another, Mystic will rebrand the
message using the real name if the destination has the real name flag. In
order words, if a user posts to AGN_BBS on AgoraNet and then copies that
message to BBS_CARNIVAL on FidoNet, Mystic will strip and regenerate all
kludges and origins as it were posted to FidoNet. It already did that, but
now it will also change the From name to the user's real name when it can.
! After uploading a message, Mystic's user action would still be set to
"Transfering files". Fixed.
! Fixed a potential exploit added in the 1.12 alphas earlier. TO BE VERY
CLEAR it is not an exploit that would compromise any data, just one that
could be used to cause a corruption in data files. Please upgrade
immediately if you're using a 1.12 Alpha prior to A10.
! Fixed a problem with uploads related to xfer.log
+ New command line option for Mystic -CP<mode> to override the default code
page
for that session. IE: ./mystic -CPutf8 will force UTF8 default output
regardless of the default setting. Any -CP that does not contain UTF will
cause Mystic to default to CP437
<ALPHA 1.12 A10 RELEASED -- April 4, 2016>
+ Mystic now has an option to add [ANSI] prefix to message subjects of ANSI
messages, found in the Message Base Settings. This can be set to off, on,
or echomail only.
+ Mystic will now strip all [ANSI] tags and RE: prefixes prior to replying
to a message, and recalculate/re-add them as required when saving the
reply message. That means if you reply to a message with an ANSI tag but
the reply contains no ANSI, the [ANSI] tag will be removed from the subject
+ Mystic now has a new option in Message Base Settings: "Add Re: Prefix"
when on will add "Re:" to the subjects of replies (as Mystic always has) or
when off it will strip Re: and not add.
! Netmail and private message bases will no longer be listed and readable
in the NNTP server even if the SysOp configures it show up via NNTP.
+ New command line option for the "mystic" binary: -PATHS. This will open
Mystic's "System Directory" configuration so that the root paths can more
easily be changed when copying Mystic between operating systems such as
Windows to OSX, etc.
+ QWK Path is is now also listed in the System Directories configuration
+ New message scans should now be much more efficient when updating last
read pointers.
<ALPHA 1.12 A11 RELEASED -- April 18, 2016>
! Fixed an issue that would cause file scans to fail if the data files for
the first file base were missing.
! In Windows, SysOp macros are now executed by pressing CTRL+F1-F8 keys,
because the F1-F8 keys are now used in the ANSI editor, etc.
! Some cleanups to the ANSI message uploaded, when uploading multiple ANSI
files into the message editor.
! Fixed a bug with downloads when trying to download during a file scan or
search.
+ Extended the amount of time Zmodem receive gives to start uploading from
30 seconds to 90 seconds.
+ Zmodem no longer retries to send the ZFIN header while waiting for the
OO marker at the end of a transfer session, for quicker ending of
transfers for implementations that appear to not send OO (SyncTerm).
+ Adjusted Zmodem timings in certain places to allow for more time for
users to respond to things like Overwrite prompts before timing out.
<ALPHA 1.12 A12 RELEASED -- April 28, 2016>
! Fixed remaining known issues relating to new file listing indexing which
should in turn fix any strangeness experienced with tagging and
downloading files.
<ALPHA 1.12 A13 RELEASED -- May 3, 2016>
! Fixed problem in socket functions when output buffers were filled that
could cause loss of data during Zmodem, FTP, and BINKP transfers.
+ Improved reliability of ANSI detection in Windows
+ Added a keypressed function to Python engine
+ Added a bit more error logging during echomail exporting in some cases
! Found some debug stuff in the display file function which was causing
Mystic to do a lot more work than it should have been doing.
! Fixed an issue in lightbar/grid style menus when doing key jumps with the
new menu command IDs.
<ALPHA 1.12 A14 RELEASED -- May 15, 2016>
+ Pressing backspace as the first key while editing a field in the
configuration editors will now automatically erase the entire input data.
Let me know if you do not like this change.
+ Pressing ESCAPE during string input within the configuration editors will
now restore the default string and exit the input.
! Fixed an obscure bug in the menu system that is hard to explain and that
no one would ever likely find! :)
+ Added a little more debug logging to echomail processing, but this is
probably temporary.
+ Mystic now prints a message if Python is executed when it is not detected
on the system.
+ Mystic now prints a message if Python fails to initialize when executing
Python.
+ Mystic's echomail export function will now check the configured echomail
domain of the message base, and the domain of the destination address. If
the domains do not match, Mystic will log and refuse to export the message
+ Mystic will now refuse to let you edit a user in MCFG's user editor if
the user is currently logged into the BBS. This capability is on the TODO
+ Mystic now immediately updates the online username as soon as they log in
as opposed to waiting until the first menu.
+ New menu command -B will break the current menu execution chain, when using
commands stacked by hotkey. In other words, if you have 4 commands all
with the same hotkey, and you call -B on the second one, only the first
and second command will run, the 3rd and 4th will be skipped because the
-B menu command breaks the chain of commands.
+ Mystic's PKT reader will now handle the 65535 auxNet format which appears
to
not be in the FSC, and I have no idea where it comes from but Mystic should
now handle it correctly.
