+mail not being deleted until a restart was done.
+2. As well as a duplicate check on existing bulletins, I have added a check
+the message is not (already) too old.
+3. fix problem for perl < 5.6 in Thingy.pm
+03Feb05=======================================================================
+1. Added latest Spanish translations courtesy of Angel EA7WA.
+2. Force all languages to use pr in en in Messages, as the prompt is
+the same for all.
+19Jan05=======================================================================
+1. More Spanish changes by Angel, EA7WA.
+2. add language dependant motd files. You can now have motd_{lang} and
+motd_nor_{lang} (eg for Spanish: motd_es and motd_nor_es) for normal and
+non-registered (if you use registration) users respectively. Based on an idea
+from Angel, EA7WA.
+18Jan05=======================================================================
+1. Added missing Spanish translation courtesy of Angel EA7WA.
+2. Really incorporate latest cty.dat (11Dec04) as opposed to merely thinking
+I had (and still add 3X0Y as well).
+3. fix ? all in non english language
+4. Alias sh/st and sh/sta back to show/station from show/startup.
+17Jan05=======================================================================
+1. Added 3Y0X to Peter Island 3Y in cty.dat.
+16Jan05=======================================================================
+1. Added the changes to Canadian Prefixes so that usdbraw.gz from Charlie
+K1XX's website (http://dxc.k1xx.com/download) dated after 1Jan05 will include
+Canadian city and province data as well the existing US data.
+2. Improve the apropos command to take better account of language and do

+no local language version.

+the use of scripts
+2. Fixed problem in DXCommandmode with an indirect call that did not work

+worms that I shall have to address later.
+3. Added make clean to src Makefile (!!!)
+12Jan05=======================================================================
+1. Add $main::bumpexisting variable which allows a new connection for a user
+call to disconnect an existing connection with the same call. The default for
+this variable is 'true' (1). This means that existing behaviour has changed.
+set/var $main::bumpexisting = 0 to return to original behaviour.
+2. Remind a user every hour (as default) that they have new messages.
+set/var $DXCommandmode::msgpolltime = 3*3600 to set it to 3 hours.
+3. Allow some substitutions in set/prompt (call, date, time and
+cluster call) and add dxspider just before the > as standard.
+4. Add $main::allowdxby variable so that sysops can switch off the
+'DX BY <othercall' command. It is set to 0 (ie disabled) by default. This
+is for sysops who don't want to bump privilege to allow it. That still works
+as before.
+5. Fix the bug in 'dx by <call>' that causes only the first word of the
+comment to be recorded.
+6. Fix bug counting backwards over a leap year in Julian.pm which meant that
+sh/dxstats doesn't start at 'yesterday' anymore.
+7. Added set/startup and show/startup commands to allow users and sysops
+to create and display startup scripts. There is also an unset/startup to
+remove a script.
+27Dec04=======================================================================
+1. add improved VE data from Charlie K1XX. You should update usdb as well.
+22Dec04=======================================================================
+1. Changed all the names of US prefixes to be prepended with their State code.
+thus "Alaska-KL7" becomes "AK-Alaska-KL7".

+2. modified links command to suggestions by Charlie K1XX.
+3. added show/groups command to show recently used chat groups by Tommy
+SM3OSM.
+4. fixed T8 / V6 ambiguity (at least basically).
+20Dec04=======================================================================
+1. updated create_prefix.pl to only use (supplied) wpxloc.raw and cty.dat
+2. Added IG9, GM/S, 4U1V and some other detail changes to make it compatible
+with cty.dat.

+06Dec04=======================================================================
+1. fix show/mydx if there is no defined spotfilter
+07Oct04=======================================================================
+1. added the ability for people to import chat from external programs.
+create a directory called /spider/chat_import, make sure it is writable
+by any applications that might dump stuff in there (chmod 1777
+/spider/chat_import on *nux). Put a file with a sensible name in there;
+the first part of the name will be the chat group to whom the message will
+be sent. So solar.txt.12325 = SOLAR. Announces can also be sent to local, all
+and sysop (ie files whose name begins with those names). Each line in the
+file becomes a chat line or an announce. See importwwv.pl for an example.
+DO NOT USE importwwv.pl, I am already using it and if you do as well, people
+will get duplicates which will ANNOY THEM!!! It is just an example.

+1. fix previous fix of sh/dx
+09Jan04=======================================================================
+1. removed PC90 which was breaking various filtering things.
+2. added realtime spot formats to sh/dx (at least in basic form), this is
+activated by using either of the keywords 'real' of 'rt' on the command
+line. Also added sh/fdx as an alias.

+loooong time ago.
+3. made 'dx by' require at least privilege 1.
+29Dec03=======================================================================
+1. updated dxoldtonew.pl so that it takes an AK1A DX.DAT file (argument on
+command line or a default of /spider/data/DX.DAT and outputs the standard
+DXSpider format spot files. Please be warned that if any of these files
+already exist, the data will be appended onto the end of the file. Please
+make sure you have backups or at least be aware that this may give strange
+results which may be 'out of order'.
+24May03=======================================================================
+1. Added more french translations from Robert (HB9BZA) and we now have some
+french help as well (also from Robert). A splendid effort. Thank you.

+to standard. Add kludge to remove rewritten chats if I see them.
+3. Only send chat PCs to spider or AK1A boxes
+12Mar03=======================================================================
+1. added HC and QRZ.com to possible QSL locations, if you want to pick up
+historical info (ie start again), run create_qsl.pl after update and restart
+the node (which you will need to do anyway).
+2. changed the dbcreate command so that you can say:
+ dbcreate dxqsl cmd show/dxqsl
+which will allow local and remote users to execute commands as though they
+are Databases. You can also include these databases in chains. What you do
+with this, is ofcourse a moot question.

+2. Alter Commands_en.hlp to match new name and issue manual updates (g0vgs)

sh/dx qsl and stores it in a database. In order to enable this command you
will require the Storable module to be loaded (you will already have done
take a long time), then immediately it finishes, restart the node. The node
will then keep the database up to date automatically. If you are not
interested in historical data then you can leave this step out.
+2. added show/contest command from Tommy SM3OSM via Rene OZ1LQH.
08Mar03=======================================================================
1. Added chat, join, leave commands to allow general purpose conferencing
