+2. added lastoper for controlling periodic demands for user info from other
+nodes.
+3. added spiderFAQ stuff from Ian G0VGS and latest update of the admin manual
+4. changed updating and deleting from user file in an attempt to keep down
+duplicates and possibly corruptions.
+5. added a DXUser::export routine to allow the cluster to automatically
+export the user data in ascii from cron.
+6. added a line in the ISSUED crontab to do the export once a week
+7. delete annok and dxok if set to 1 in user records.
+8. added export_users command to allow arbitary exporting of user files
+9. added set and unset/dxgrid command to allow control over the grid squares
+on DX announcements
+10. Removed export_user.pl (no longer needed)
+11. made import_users.pl accept a non related input filename and always
+update the current user file.
+12. added an 'auto rcmd <node> for/oper <call>' for people I can see on the
+cluster that issue spots and for whom I have no qra info (no more than once
+a month).
+13. Despace spot texts properly again for deduping purposes.
+25Jul00=======================================================================
+1. ignore \n in ax25 mode for C client.
+2. remove extra space at the end of a DX spot announce when no grid square
+is output.
+3. added new admin manual from Ian G0VGS
+20Jul00=======================================================================
+1. Finally managed to update my source with the sourceforge one
+2. added user->qra cleaning in various places
+3. added four digit locator strings to broadcast DX spots (for users).
+4. PC11 with blank callsigns should now be ignored.
+5. put back the unpadding to the PC11 dup checking to catch spots with added
+blanks at the end of lines.
+25Jun00=======================================================================
+1. added 0 to the regex that checks for valid data on the cluster.pl->client
+channel - this will allow G0VGS and G0RDI to connect....
+2. removed technically unnecessary /= 60 from the dup routines to see if
+Arnold's Sparcs don't then crash.
+19Jun00=======================================================================
+1. move ann_dup, spot_dup etc to dup_ann, dup_spots etc
+2. made mode 3 the default line ending convention for all out going connects
+via telnet in client.pl
+18Jun00=======================================================================
+1. fixed line ending ambiguities (I think) for telnet connections. Well
+actually only really band aided it. It works but isn't how I want it.
+Client.pl has got to go....
+2. Added 1.21 of Ian G0VGS's admin manual
+17Jun00=======================================================================
+1. I believe I have fixed all the login/logout 'broken pipe' errors
+2. Added G0RDI's 'links' command.
+3. added update_sysop.pl which cleans out all previous versions of the sysops
+information from the user database and recreates it with that in DXVars.pm
+4. Added node type to links and who
+5. Hardened up the cluster->client link in the cluster software so that
+rubbish on port 27754 doesn't (usually) crash the cluster.
+14Jun00=======================================================================
+1. fixed sh/node crash
+2. fixed RTT in who.pl
+13Jun00=======================================================================
+1. fixed looping bug in C client on ending.
+12Jun00=======================================================================
+1. Added RCMD for clx
+2. Added WCY processing
+3. Added new node types (clx, spider, dxnet, arcluster)
+4. Store echo settings
+5. Store pagelth settings
+6. sort out source of DXVars for callbot.pl
+7. added sh/isolate
+8. added sh/lockout
+11Jun00=======================================================================
+1. removed extraneous DXDebug from DXUtil
+2. added help for set/echo
+3. Centralised all spot, wwv and ann dup handling into respective packages.
+4. Created new AnnTalk package (for above and OOing announce and talk
+handling).
+5. Fixed problem with outputting lines with | in them to console.pl.
+10Jun00=======================================================================
+1. got rid of some more nasty bugs in sh/qra.
+2. fixed 9A3xx to always be Croatia (and not Haiti!).
+09Jun00=======================================================================
+1. change some print commands in DXMsg to dbg('err'...
+2. overloaded confess, croak et al into DXDebug and removed Carp from
+everywhere and checked that the necessary debugging really does go into
+the debug files now.
+3. changed print statements in cluster.pl to dbg('err',... so they go into
+the debug files as well.
+4. Altered the logic around duplicate spots, reduced the length of comment
+checked to 20 characters (this should solve some problems including those
+people sucking ar-cluster spots with prefixes in the extreme rh end).
+08Jun00=======================================================================
+1. fixed problem with binary characters from cluster->client
+2. added set/echo and unset/echo commands
+3. echo login characters on login: prompt for C client
+4. Send \r\n on telnet connections for C Client
+5. Make echoing the default option (for M$ telnet clients :-()
+11May00=======================================================================
+1. fixed looping in Msg.pm (at last)
+10May00=======================================================================
+1. wrote a cross between 'tail -f' and grepdbg so that you can watch the
+debug files for particular strings and only have them print out.
+05May00=======================================================================
+1. rewrote parts of Msg.pm and client.c so that the messages no longer use
+a length word at the front of each one. They are simply strings of characters
+separated by a \n. No binary characters are allowed (they are encoded as %nn)
+a la HTTP. This hopefully cures Arnold's problem and also make it more
+secure anyway. It also paves the way for the ax25/ip multicast client.
+30Apr00=======================================================================
+1. put some extra checks and balances in to message send routine in Msg.pm to
+see if I can prevent the error seen by Arnold (which I think is only likely to
+appear in heavily loaded sites).
+25Apr00=======================================================================
+1. Changed reply so that you can reply to more than one address privately
+31Mar00=======================================================================
+1. fixed nnn-mmm in kill (erase/delete) msgs so that mmm is also deleted and
+not just nnn -> mmm-1.
+2. Added an autosplit to message importing so that messages are split
+automagically into bits if the filename used in the import directory starts
+with "split". This will add a [1/5] type string on the the end of the subject.
+3. dedupe more aggressively on the text of Spots so that only the 1st 27 chars
+of text are considered (as opposed to the whole lot).
+30Mar00=======================================================================
+1. altered client.pl connect code so that it doesn't falsely recognise
+/spider/src/client as a 'client' instruction.
28Mar00=======================================================================
1. Added buffering to client
2. Fixed LOGIN so that you can login with an arbitrary callsign
