#################################### Changes in version 0.85, 7/2/2007: Minor enhancements: 1. Changed the algorithm used for sending conference signature, it is now sent when more than one external connection is active rather than just when the system is configured to allow multiple connections. Bug fixes: 1. Corrected C99 C declaration mixed with code in tbdcmd.c that's not accepted by pre C89 compilers. This is the first time I've run into code gcc 4.x liked that other compilers don't, it's usually the other way around. 2. Corrected hooks for tbdQt in thebridge.c 3. Corrected a bug in the configuration file parser which caused thebridge to exit immediately without explanation when the configuration file contained a StartupCmd. Thanks to VK3JED for discovering this bug and helping debug it. #################################### Changes in version 0.84, 6/29/2007: New features: 1. Added a .lookup command contributed by Scott KI4LKF. The lookup command displays the specified user's node#, QTH, and busy status. 2. Added a .set command which allows configuration file variables to be displayed and set interactively. Note: most, but not all, configuration variables can be set by the set command. The variables that are not supported (such as runas) require the thebridge to be restarted. 3. Added -r argument to the connect command. The -r argument selects the RTP protocol rather than the default EchoLink protocol. 4. Added an "last" option to the disconnect command. Disconnects the last station connected. 5. Added a separate interface for the EchoLink text mode via tbdchat (tbdcmd alias). Previously the .chat mode command and tbdcmd was used for this purpose, but conflicts between interactive use and automatic use by scripts proved to be unworkable. See the configuration file variable ChatPort. Minor enhancements: 1. Added hooks for tbdQt by Scott KI4LKF, see the http://CQInet.sf.net for the tbdQt package. 2. Modified GenSDES to only send the conference signature when thebridge is configured as a conference server. When thebridge is used by the EchoIRLP project conferencing might not be enabled. 3. Renamed the "quit" command to "quickexit" to prevent accidents. Many people have tried to exit the tbdcmd program with unexpected (and undesired!) results. 4. The node's Qth may now be optionally included in the hosts file by setting the QthInHostsFile configuration variable. NB: As of today the inclusion of Qth information breaks the EchoIRLP scripts. Bug fixes: 1. Fixed the ages old "Unable to enable core dumps" error/warning issued by tbdcmd which occurred on recent versions of the Linux kernel. (This bug was fixed in tbd version 0.83, but the same bug in tbdcmd was missed.) 2. Modified GetPacketType to allow duplicate commands to be entered via local chat or command ports. 3. Banned stations are now sent "bye" packets when they attempt to connect, previously banned stations were just ignored. This caused problems when a conference was banned because thebridge is designed to continue to attempt to connect forever unless stopped manually. Sending a "bye" packet stops the connection attempt (and prevent log files from filling with "Ignoring unauthorized user" messages). #################################### Changes in version 0.83, 8/5/2006: Bug fixes: 1. Applied patch supplied by Satoshi Yasuda(7m3tjz/ad6gz) to correct logfile filename generation for the daily log option. Thanks Satoshi! 2. Increased MAX_SNAPSHOT_LEN to 16. On *some* platforms the 10-digit snapshot ID was being truncated to 9 digits. Apparently this was caused by snprintf run time library differences. Thanks to Jonathan K1RFD for noticing the problem and finding the solution. 3. Corrected compile problems with GCC 4.x.x (found on Fedora core 4 and later). Considering the number of compiler's that don't choke on the code I think this is a compiler bug, but restructuring the code to avoid the error was trivial. 4. Fixed the ages old "Unable to enable core dumps" error/warning which occurred on recent versions of the Linux kernel. #################################### Changes in version 0.82, 2/11/2005: (limited beta release) Minor enhancements: 1. Added ShowIP command to dump user list with IP addresses. Format: <'S' | 'R' | 'E'> List is terminate by a blank line. The final character indicates the users protocol, SpeakFreely, RTP, or EchoLink. The callsign field will also contain the user's IP address if the protocol does not provide a callsign. #################################### Changes in version 0.81, 1/8/2005: New features: 1. Tbdcmd can now display a timestamp before each line of chat text enabled by the new '-t' command line switch. Minor enhancements: 1. Give priority to repeater attribute over conference attribute in autolurking code. Bug fixes: 1. Fix rounding errors in AVRS frequency conversion in so 444.300 doesn't become 444.299. 2. Fix typo and add "warning" to error message about failure to enable core (not "code") dumps. Apparently Fedora has changed something as this always fails with "Invalid argument". 3. Corrected bug in tbdcmd which caused it to exit immediately when run without a console. 4. Modified new tbdcmd misfeature that suppressed "error" codes of zero to only suppress them when tbdcmd is run interactively. 5. Corrected bug caused by uninitialized select timeout structure in tbdcmd. This bug only occurred on a few systems, thanks to ke4tte for providing access to one where it did so I could debug it. #################################### Changes in version 0.80, 11/28/2004: New features: 1. Added text messaging support to the command interface. The new ".chat" command is used to enable and disable chat mode for compatibility with existing scripts. 2. Added support for reporting the repeater or link location, frequency, power and other parameters to EchoLink's server. (Only useful for nodes with associated RF equipment) Minor enhancements: 1. Modified EchoIRLP detection to prevent triggering by usage of nonstandard ports for Speak Freely. Bug fixes: 1. Add a timeout to tbdcmd so it won't hang indefinitely if used when tbd isn't running. If thebridge does not send a response to a command within 10 seconds an error code of TBD_ERR_TIMEOUT is returned to the script. #################################### Changes in version 0.78+, 9/11/2004: (limited Beta release) New features: 1. Added .refresh command to force thebridge to refresh the in memory (and on disk if enabled) station list. Minor enhancements: 1. Added a "status" option to the .busy command to indicate a busy status to the directory servers, but continue to accept connections. Bug fixes: 1. Don't dump connections to Speak Freely clients on connections we started. This prevents problems staying connected to reflectors with misconfigured clients speaking the wrong compression format. #################################### Changes in version 0.78, 9/2/2004: (limited Beta release) Minor enhancements: 1. Enable conference call checking for all configurations. (The EchoLink servers no longer allow logins from thebridge with a "bare" callsign, the callsign must be a repeater, link or conference name). 2. Added patch from KF7FLY to improve the ability of EchoIRLP to track refused outbound connections. 3. Added IncludeAllHosts configuration file variable to force inactive hosts to be included in the hosts file. Use this feature carefully, the IP address of hosts that are not currently logged in may be inaccurate especially for users with dialup connections. 4. Changed the name of the sample configuration file included with the release from tbd.conf to tbd.conf.sample to prevent accidently over writes of actual configuration file when thebridge is updated. Thanks to Diane Bruce, VA3DB. Bug fixes: 1. Removed code that attempted to deal with an IP address changes for logged in clients. The code had bugs and was just about impossible to test. If your ISP randomly forces you to change your IP address it's time to find a new ISP! This code caused thebridge to crash if a logged in user's IP address did change. #################################### Changes in version 0.77, 5/29/2004: 1. Cosmetic only ... rebuild from source files committed to CVS today. #################################### Changes in version 0.76, 5/13/2004 (limited Beta release) Bug fix: 1. Corrected additional memory leaks. #################################### Changes in version 0.75, 2/26/2004 (limited Beta release): Minor enhancements: 1. Added code to update the IP address of persistent clients when the client's IP address changes in the directory. Bug fixes: 1. Corrected memory leak created when compressed directory support was added. #################################### Changes in version 0.74, 12/5/2003 (limited release EchoIRLP version): Minor enhancements: 1. Added requirement that callsign be either -R, -L, or a conference style callsign when tbd is used with the EchoIRLP project. 2. Changed version string sent to EchoLink directory servers from v.vvB to v.vvI when tbd is used with the EchoIRLP project. Bug fixes: 1. Corrected an infinite loop that occurred when a "play4 -u ..." command was issued when a file was already playing for the specified user. #################################### Changes in version 0.73, 10/28/2003 (limited Beta release): Minor enhancements: 1. Added a -p option to the .mute and .unmute commands to allow a station to be muted or unmuted more persistently. Normally when a station is explicitly muted or unmuted the action applies current connection only. If the station disconnects and then reconnects he will return to the default mute state for his station class. The -p option causes the stations mute state to persist across connections and disconnections as long as the station's callsign remains in the directory cache. This feature may be useful in certain unusual circumstances when the a station class is muted, but there are certain exceptions. 2. Eliminated unused and unneeded fields from the UserInfo structure to reduce memory requirements. 3. Modified configuration file parser to accept both DOS and *nix end of line conventions (*nix version only, Windoze version has always accepted both). Bug fixes: 1. Added zlib subdirectory to include path so thebridge can be built on systems that don't already have the zlib headers in /usr/include. 2. Corrected a bug that caused the command ".mute -u" to mute conferences as well as PC users. 3. Removed the code added in 0.70 that prevented the conference from connecting to itself. This feature caused problems for the EchoIRLP project. 4. Corrected bug which caused the play4 pseudo user to timeout when the BlabOffTimer was enabled. #################################### Changes in version 0.72, Sept 9, 2003: Minor enhancements: 1. Changed the automute and autolurk logic to accomodate new EchoLink clients which can be repeaters or links *as well* as conferences. The conference attribute is now the highest priority. If conferences are muted, but not links and a user is both a conference and a link he will now be muted. 2. Added a "-e" flag to the .mute and .unmute flags to allow EchoLink conferences to be treated separately from tbd conferences. The original -c flag now effects tbd conferences only. Bug fixes: 1. Corrected infinite loop that occurred on some platforms when the command ".mute -?" (or any other undefined flag) was entered. 2. Corrected a crash that occurred when an user attempted to connect to a conference when it was busy or at the configured maximum number of users. #################################### Changes in version 0.71, Sept 7, 2003: Bug fixes: 1. Corrected automatic muting of new stations that connect when the .mute -c, -r or -u flags are in effect. #################################### Changes in version 0.70, Sept 6, 2003: New features: 1. Added the ability to execute a user provided script or program when "interesting things" happen. 2. A new utility, tbdcmd, provides the ability for a user to issue commands to thebridge locally. The tbdcmd may be used interactively or via scripts. 3. Added the "StartupCmd" configuration file variable to allow commands to be executed automatically at startup. 4. Added a ".play4" command that allows a recorded file to be played everyone or a specified user. Minor enhancements: 1. Added the configuration variable EmailAdr to provide contact information to the EchoLink support team. 2. Added ".busy" command to put the conference into a busy state. 3. Modified snprintf usage to handle more flavors correctly. (The C99 standard defined the behaviour differently than earlier implementations.) 4. Added a ".message" command to allow scripts to send text messages to conference users. 5. Added an option to disconnect all users to the ".disconnect" command. 6. Added a new configuration variable HelpFile that may be used to replace the builtin help text with a customized version. This feature may be used to replace the english help text with another language. It may also be used to to document functionality added by external scripts. 7. Added a new configuration variable SF_ReplyPort that may be used to configure thebridge to talk to a Speak Freely or RTP client on the same host. 9. Added the ability to .connect to a node by node number. Previously numeric arguments were assumed to be IP addresses (yes 9999 is a valid, if unusual IP address). Now numeric arguments that do not contain dots are assumed to be node IDs. 8. Added the ability to use thebridge's built in logging under *nix as well as Windows. This may be useful when it is not possible or desirable to start thebridge as root to allow it to open the syslog. 10. Added support for compressed and differential stations list downloads. 11. Added new configuration variable WelcomeDelay to specify a delay between when the user connects and when the welcome file starts playing. This provides time for EchoLink client to complete its connection announcement before the welcome file starts. Thanks to W7NTF for suggesting this feature. 12. Added -r, -c, -u, -s, -t, and -a options to the .mute and .unmute commands to mute and unmute groups of stations with one command. This option may be useful to enforce order on large nets. Note: New stations connecting to the conference will be muted automatically when a group mute for their station type is in effect. 13. Added the conference name to responses to commands issued with the .quote command so that responses from multiple conferences can be differentiated. 14. Added code to automatically disconnect stations that send too many duplicate text messages. Duplicate text messages can be generated when a number of conferences are connected together such that they form a closed loop. The automatic disconnect logic is intended as a safety measure to ensure that all available bandwidth is not consumed by a text message feedback loop. 15. Modified the SDES generation to include the callsign of the station talking in the name field. Bug fixes: 1. Corrected a bug that caused Bind2IP to fail randomly on FreeBSD. 2. Corrected a bug that prevented thebridge from operating properly on NT 4.0. Thanks to K1RFD for the fix and N4LED for reporting the bug and testing the fix. 3. Corrected the way the group membership was changed when thebridge changed identities from root to the RunAsUser user. Previously on thebridge would not become a member of secondary groups it belonged to, only the primary group listed in the password file. 4. Corrected a bug which caused the bulletin list order to change when thebridge was restarted. Thanks to KB5MU for reporting this 'feature'. 5. Modified code to prevent a directory server logout on exit when logins are disabled. 6. Modified code to pass local users SSRC on unmodified. Previously local user's SSRC was changed to the SSRC of the conference for audio loop detection. 7. Modified RTCP handler to fully process all packets received. Previously the user's callsign and name was extracted when the user first connected and never looked at again. This prevented the dynamic information generated by the new EchoLink client from being displayed from the name field. 8. Corrected a number of portability problems which prevented thebridge from compiling or running on the Alpha platform. Thanks to WB3FFV for making his Alpha box available for debugging. 9. Revised the code that attempted to break text messaging conference loops. The previous loop detection code was only effective for simple loops where each conference was in the loop, but not when leaf conferences were present. Additionally messages generated by users when they disconnected (such as inactivity timeouts) would loop even in the simple case. The new code maintains a list of messages relayed recently and drops any duplicates that are detected. 10. Added code to clear the waiting for response to .quote'ed command state after 30 seconds. Previously this state was not cleared resulting in sysops receiving station lists from connected EchoLink conferences. 11. Added code to prevent the conference from connecting to itself. The reason this occurs occasionally (once or twice a month) on some systems is unknown. Apparently no harm comes of it, but it sure looks strange on the station list. Known Bugs: 1. Stations listening to recorded files are able to transmit during pauses, but are not shown on the station list. 2. Welcome file playback does not work correctly for non-EchoLink clients. #################################### Changes in version 0.52, May 28 2003: New features: None, bug fix release. Minor enhancements: None, bug fix release. Bug fixes: 1. Corrected belch filter bug that was introduced by the addition of the timeout timer feature in 0.51. If the belch filter was enabled only PC clients were able to talk, repeaters, links and other conferences (potential belchers) were not. 2. Corrected bug in RTP_Rx() which would could cause memory corruption if recvfrom() returned an error. Thanks to KD5MU for discovering and reporting this problem by code inspection. Known Bugs: 1. Stations listening to recorded files are able to transmit during pauses, but are not shown on the station list. 2. Welcome file playback does not work correctly for non-EchoLink clients. #################################### Changes in version 0.51, April 30 2003: New features: 1. Added a new "auto lurk" feature that returns lurking users to lurk mode after a (configurable) period of inactivity. 2. Added the ability to automatically place users into the lurk mode after a (configurable) period of inactivity. This may be enabled for "normal users", conferences, -L, and -R stations independently. 3. Added a ".monitor" command which allows a client to be monitored. This is basically the opposite of the ".mute" command, the monitored client can talk, but not listen. This is useful in certain (unusual) situations such as the recent shuttle disaster when you want to listen to a conference, but while ensuring local traffic does not interrupt it. 4. Added a timeout timer to enforce a maximum transmission length. Minor enhancements: 1. Added a configuration file variable "Bind2IP" that allows thebridge to be configured for a specified interface rather than all available interfaces. This variable should be set on multihomed hosts to ensure that thebridge uses the same IP address to talk to clients as it does to talk to the EchoLink directory server. For security reasons the EchoLink client will not talk to a client that has a different IP address than that listed by the EchoLink directory server. 2. Added a configuration file variable "AppName" that allows an alternate application name to be specified for logging and filenaming purposes. This along with the Bind2IP variable allows multiple copies of thebridge to be run on a single multihomed host. 3. Added a configuration file variable "RunDir" that allows the directory were thebridge's PID file is created to be specified. The default is /var/run. (This only applies to *nix versions of thebridge) Bug fixes: 1. Corrected a bug in the hourly statistics logging which occurred when RTP was enabled. The hourly statistics included data for only RTP or EchoLink depending on the protocol of the first packet received after at the start of a new hour. The statistics reported are now combined totals for all protocols. 2. Added a terminating NULL to the string returned by a version query. 3. Corrected a bug which prevented the station list from being sent on connect when thebridge was configured to play a welcome file on connect. 4. Corrected a bug in the ACL handling that prevented .allow'ing a EchoLink client by IP address. 5. Fixed (possibly, not tested) a bug which sent a verify command to a iLink directory server. The verify command is not supported by iLink servers, only EchoLink servers. (Is anyone using the thebridge with the iLink private server package ??? If not this support will be dropped in future releases since I can no longer test it.) Known Bugs: 1. Stations listening to recorded files are able to transmit during pauses, but are not shown on the station list. 2. Welcome file playback does not work correctly for non-EchoLink clients. #################################### Changes in version 0.46, Jan 5 2003: Minor enhancements: 1. Thebridge now reports a valid version number to the directory server. Previously a hard coded version string reported by old iLink clients was sent. Bug fixes: 1. Another bug in the directory server communications routine which could cause an infinite loop when the connection to the EchoLink directory server failed has been fixed. The infinite loop included log messages and since the log file size limit check was ineffective against infinite loops huge log files could be created very quickly. 2. The code added to cause thebridge to exit if the log file exceeds 10mb in now causes an intentional null pointer dereference instead of attempting to exit gracefully. The assumption here is that the log has grown this large due to an infinite loop and a graceful exit is impossible. (Windows version only). 3. Restarting thebridge when the LogFileRolloverTypes is 3 or 4 no longer deletes the current day's log. (Windows version only) 4. User authentication failures are no longer cached, only successes. (Yes this was documented as being in 0.45, but somehow the changes were lost before release, sigh). Known Bugs: 1. Stations listening to recorded files are able to transmit during pauses, but are not shown on the station list. 2. Welcome file playback does not work correctly for non-EchoLink clients. #################################### Changes in version 0.45, Jan 1 2003: Minor enhancements: 1. User authentication failures are no longer cached, only successes. Previously if a user attempted to connect to thebridge immediately after starting the EchoLink client it was possible for him to be locked out of thebridge until the next station list update occurred (by default every 310 seconds). 2. Added code to detect certain infinite loops, log them and shutdown the bridge. (With any luck this code will never be exercised, grin). 3. Timeouts have been added to all directory server communications routines. 4. Added administrator command .shutdown to remotely shutdown thebridge. 5. Added administrator command .quit to remotely shutdown thebridge without logging out of the directory servers. 6. Added administrator command .crash to cause a null pointer dereference to cause a code dump. (This can be useful for debugging certain problems). 7. Added code to cause thebridge to exit if the log file exceeds 10mb in size (Windows version only). Bug fixes: 1. The Windows log file is now closed and reopened (if logging is enable) after the configuration file has been read. Previously thebridge logged to "tbd.log" until midnight independent of the settings of the logging configuration variables. 2. An bug in the directory server communications routine which could can an infinite loop when the connection to the EchoLink directory server failed has been fixed. Known Bugs: 1. Stations listening to recorded files are able to transmit during pauses, but are not shown on the station list. ##################################### Changes in version 0.44, Dec 21 2002: New features: 1. Added disk logging to the Windows version. 2. Added ability to run thebridge as an NT service on Windows 2000 and later. 3. Added option of playing a welcome message to users on connection to the conference. 4. Audio file playback now pauses between individual transmissions in the recording with configurable timing. 5. Added admin .quote command to allow commands to be sent to linked conferences. 6. Added the ability to display a new users information (brag) sheet during his first transmission. 7. Added the ability to save user's brag sheets to disk. 8. Added new user .about command to display a specified station's brag sheet on demand. 9. Modified the ".mute ." command to mute stations on linked conferences. Minor enhancements: 1. Added admin .rehash command to reload configuration file remotely. 2. Added new hourly log entry showing current bandwidths, amount of traffic sent since boot and uptime. 3. Added an option to dynamically maintain a *nix style host file of EchoLink users. Bug fix: 1. Corrected premature playback termination when thebridge is run on (very?) fast computers. 2. Corrected playback problems which occurred after approximately 20 minutes of playback (by implementing pauses during playback). 3. Implemented EnableDiskCommands configuration file variable as documented, previously it was ignored. 4. Files created by the .test command are now deleted upon completion of the playback. ##################################### Changes in version 0.43, Nov 4 2002: Bug fix: 1. Corrected bug introduced by forking a separate process for DNS updates which corrupted recordings. This bug only effected the *nix version since the Windoze version does not fork. ##################################### Changes in version 0.42, Nov 2 2002: Upgrading: 1. The Working directory configuration file variable is no longer optional. thebridge will not run unless the WorkingDir variable is set to a valid subdirectory. See the new configuration variable EnableDiskCommands if you wish to disable user commands that access the disk. New features: 1. Added support for private conferences. 2. Added a belch filter to further help suppress repeater "bounce". The belch filter sets a minimum keyup time for -L and -R stations before their audio is passed. 3. System security has been enhanced by checking the IP address and callsigns of connecting stations with the Echolink directory server. Minor enhancements: 1. Added support for Speak Freely and RTP protocols in addition to EchoLink. 2. User commands that use the disk (.test, .play) may now be disabled without disabling the access control list. 3. Stations no longer need to be logged in to be added to the access control list. 4. Thebridge may now be used with ilink directory servers. 5. The .help command is now accepted without a leading period, sigh. The user is advised that all commands except help require a leading period. 6. Pause time and doubling warning messages are not longer sent from one conference to another. 7. Muted stations are now marked as muted in the station list. 8. Sysops may now change the lurking mode of other stations. 9. Sysops may now suppress text chat messages. 10.The Windows version of thebridge now wait for a key to be pressed before exiting after an error message has been displayed to give the user a change to read the message. Go ahead and double click away ... Bug fixes: 1. Most DNS hostname lookups are now performed on by a separate process (*nix), or thread (Windoze). This prevents the conference from stalling and losing audio when the DNS server is slow. 2. Failure to enable core dumps is no longer a fatal error. ##################################### Changes in version 0.37, Sep 29 2002: New features: 1. Added the ability to disable the lurking feature. 2. A new operator level called "sysop" was added. Sysop's have access to a subset of the administrator commands. 3. Added the ability to enforce a mandatory gap between transmissions to suppress repeater "bounce", allow time for timeout timers to reset, and give repeaters and links time to drop the connection. 4. Added .users command that lists all users along with their attributes. Minor enhancements: 1. A message is now sent to administrators and sysops when a .connect request is refused by the target station. 2. The format of the doubling warning message has been changed to make it compatible with older versions of the EchoLink client. 3. The .mute command now lists stations that are muted if a target station is not specified. 4. Added '.' as a shorthand for currently talking station to the .mute command. Bug fixes: 1. Text messages from stations that are .muted are now forwarded. 2. Certain invalid RTCP packets no longer crash the Windows version. 3. An error in the format of the RTCP BYE packet was corrected. 4. Modified TimeLapse() to handle overflows properly. This bug was causing the bandwidth calculations to be bypassed on occasion. ##################################### Changes in version 0.34, Sep 15 2002: New features: 1. Added new administrator commands .connect and .disconnect to allow multiple conference bridges to be linked. 2. Added additional statistics to the .stats command. The receive and transmit bandwidth is now measured constantly and peak values are retained for display. The number of packets, bytes received and transmitted are counted. 3. The Echolink client's "Request version Information" feature is now supported. 4. Added configuration file variables to set the contents of the banner area. 5. Added configuration file variables to allow current and maximum user counts to added to the location string and conference ID line. 6. Added configuration file variable to specify location of temporary files. If this variable is not set the commands which create temporary files are disabled. 7. Added a configuration file variable to specify the user ID thebridge should run under. (non-Windows version only) 8. Added new user command .stop to allow bulletin playback to be terminated without disconnecting. Minor enhancements: 1. The bulletin list now includes the playback time for each bulletin. 2. The doubling warning message now includes the callsign of the person that is talking. 3. Timestamps are now included in recording at the beginning of each audio segment. 4. The file format of recordings has been modified to make it platform independent. Previously values were written in native format, now they are written in network order. 5. The way SDES packets are sent to clients was changed to make connections a bit more robust. Previously SDES packets were only sent in response to SDES packet received from the client. Now SDES packets are sent periodically. 6. Changed the way the station list works (yet again). When a station transmits he is now moved to the top of the station list and remains there after he stops talking. 7. Added the configuration file variable to enable/disable the display of the "" string. 8. Added code to remove any leading path from filename for record commands. 9. Modified DeltaTime2String() to suppress display of days when days is zero. Bug fixes: 1. Correct a bug which would cause a crash if a user disconnected while listening to a recorded bulletin. 2. Corrected bug in the message logged when an attempt to resolve the directory server's IP address failed. ##################################### Changes in version 0.26, Aug 31 2002: New features: 1. Added new administrator commands .admin, .admins, .record, .list, .mute, .kick, .ban, and .info. 2. Added new user commands .list, .play, and .stats. 3. Modified the station list so that new stations enter at the top of the list. 4. Modified the station list so the station talking is always displayed. 5. Added total number of connected stations to top of station list. 6. Added code to send a warning message to stations that double. 7. Added support for backup directory servers. 8. Modified all log entries to use %m for error message display when available. 9. Added amount to time client was connected to log entries. 10. Added (optional) welcome message at bottom of station list. Bug fixes: 1. Corrected sockets resource leak. (Crashed Windows version) 2. Corrected dirserver connection hang on Windows version. ##################################### Changes in version 0.21, Aug 17 2002: New features: 1. Added .help, .?, .test, and .version commands. 2. Added abilty to record and playback audio from files. 3. Added code to automatically exit lurking mode when a lurker talks. 4. Added code to enable core dumps (thanks to WD4NMQ). Bug fixes: 1. Fixed a bug that allowed timed out talker to keep transmit token forever. 2. Corrected a bug that allowed two stations to talk at once when they doubled. 3. Removed \r from end of commands before logging them. 4. Removed some left over debug info from log. #################################### Changes in version 0.18, Aug 8 2002: Initial release
