- Version 1.0 A & B -
- -------------------
-
- Initial beta releases. if you see these anywhere, please KILL THEM! :-)
- They worked with about 20% of the UNIX machines out there, and provided
- valuable bug reports for future versions.
-
- Version 1.1 Release 1-4:
- ------------------------
-
- First 4 bug fix releases. Increasing compatability with the various UNIX
- systems.
-
- Version 1.1 Release 5:
- ----------------------
-
- Most stable version of 1.1, locked out when 1.2 revisions began
-
- Version 1.2 Release 1:
- ----------------------
-
- Initial 1.2 release, system completely rewritten in C++. WAY too many
- changes to note, basically a new system.
-
- Version 1.2 Release 2:
- ----------------------
-
- Memory problems eliminated
- Formation of "Received:" header changed depending on whether mail is locally
- bound, outbound, locally generated, or forwarded from remote
- Minor changes to installer string handling
- Newsrc creation bug fixed (it always created your newsrc as unsubscribed!)
- "Skipping unavailable articles" now shortcuts and checks the active file for
- lowest available article.
- Headers set to "IGNORE" no longer count in the line count for "more"
- Mail exit now has confirm
- Mail and news exit now accept ^D as well as F2
- UUCICO logs statistics at the end of each call
- mailrc and aliases file working somewhat better (some aliases were being
- overlooked)
- UNIX to MSDOS file name munging now takes into account a bug (?) with SCO,
- in that the execute file has the LOCAL site's name imbedded rather than
- the REMOTE site. This was creating non-unique filenames to 8 characters,
- which is MSDOS's limit. Now, if the pattern match comes out to less
- characters than the minimum of the system name length, or 5 (BNU standard),
- the munger will re-scan for the LOCAL site name and parse on that.
-
- Version 1.2 Release 3:
- ----------------------
-
- Line length counter for "more" now counts per 80 characters for strings
- longer than 1 line
- Potential memory overflow on lines longer than 200 characters removed from
- internal routine.
- Time calculations for expire were a bit off
- Disply modes for UUXQT changed to give more information
- Removed -r0 option for UUCICO. -r0 support moved to FSBBS login/password
- and site validation system.
- Fixed readnews new news initial display, which was showing all groups, not
- just the top 5, or the value specified with -cn
-
- Version 1.2 Release 4:
- ----------------------
-
- Leading tab in news caused crash.
- "%" character in certain places caused errors (using sprintf call).
- "R"eply from within news wasn't formatting headers correctly

- added "editor" switch to replace old "ename" and "epath" switches
- System directories are now created automagically if they don't exist
- "." characters in incoming filenames are now mapped to "_"
- Reworked installer as per user suggestions. More changes than you can shake
- a stick at.
- Added new timezone code
- Mail was adding an extra line after the "Status:" header each time mail
- was "q"uit
- uulog colours were really hosed
- mailrc file wasn't being read. This was a STUPID "==" vs. "!=" error and
- the programmer should be flogged

- added "from.exe" mail header reporting program
- mail interpolation and read-from-file FINALLY implemented
- mail appends to [home]\[user]\deadlett on mailing error
