VERSION 4 - APRIL 15 2021
-------------------------

The good thing about our now-third Covid lockdown in Toronto, is that I'm
stuck at home with nothing to do.... but work on your favorite mailer. You
have to see the humor in any situation?

Various code improvements to the Queue, Areafix, VIA kludge "compliance", unpacking/tossing mail, personal mail waiting and packet logging. Also improvements to overall performance and long-term reliability; slightly less CPU usage on certain Windows operating systems. The F1-Help and user manual were also slightly updated.

Even if your existing D'Bridge system is running good, I recommend upgrading
to this release given the many behind-the-scenes improvements to the
codebase.

VERSION 4 - APRIL 21 2021
-------------------------

Some minor code cleanup and improvements. A new text-file, DBRIDGE.IPN
(Ignore Personal-mail-waiting Names) contains a list of names that you do
NOT want to show up when Personal Mail Waiting is enabled. The personal
mail setting has been moved to Config-Packet/Mail. F1-Help and the user
manual were updated. Personal mail is any NETmail or Echomail messages
found addressed to you or your alias-names when mail is unpacked/tossed.

Remember, you can have D'Bridge run a program whenever personal mail
arrives. If the batch file PLAYMAIL.BAT exists, D'Bridge will call this
to play a WAV/MP3 sound file or do whatever you want. Refer to PLAYMAIL.ZIP
for an example batch file and freeware player for Windows. This will run
only if AUDIO ALARMS are enabled in Config-Basic and the audio-time is
allowed. Anything that runs in the batch file must never require any interaction from you or the mailer will be "stuck" waiting for input.

Also remember that if you need to run something after ANY mail is unpacked
then you should create the dummy/semaphore file DBRIDGE.AMR (Any Mail
Received) and specify the DOS commands in the proper Mail event or Unevent.

The same steps since I started using it in 1988. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Install works OK. Start-up works OK. ALT-E for the editor works OK. Then Esc-A for "Area Information" gives the regulqr screen, I think, in rainbow colours ... foreground and background ... unworkable ...

tearline; such as using the internal editor to copy a Netmail to an
Echomail area.

- Fix for DBUTIL SORT AREAS not handling .DUP files correctly.

WARNING: If you are upgrading, and the BinkD subsystem is running, please
shut it down before installing this release.

A very minor update:

- Updates the BinkD subsystem to version 1.a-115 with IPV6 extensions.

- Improvements for running D'Bridge on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT-4 and Windows
2000 operating systems.

Do you mean the -64 and -46? Because that was there all the time already, it just wasn't documented yet from what I understand.

You are aware I've been running IPv6 for quite a while, right? Are have I never mentioned that in the affirmative?

VERSION 4 - SEPTEMBER 8 2022
----------------------------

This minor release addresses issues with the BinkD subsystem.

- Significant code improvements for BinkD staging or "move" operations,
uncompressed mail packets for busy Hub systems or systems that forward
mail to many downlinks.

- Fix for an unusual problem with a downlink receiving a large compressed
mail archive via BinkD, the file transfer gets aborted somehow, then the
downlink immediately connects again and didn't receive that archive BUT
received all of that archive's PKT files, so a leftover incomplete mail
archive transfer remained on his system.

- Compressed mail (XMAIL/Arcmail) flagged as Hold or Forced Hold will not
be sent to the destination system in an outbound BinkD transaction.

- Improvements to packet logging.

VERSION 4 - DECEMBER 29 2022
----------------------------

This release was intended to have BinkD file-request/SRIF support but that
will wait till later.

- Bug fix for a long standing problem with a dialup modem not being placed
off-line (off hook) when tossing mail... depending on the Offhook setting
in Config-COMM/Modem.

- Bug fix for "Save junk messages".

- Bug fix for rare zero-byte/null *.MSG files in the NETmail area.

- Bug fix for zero-byte/null message reporting in the system log.

- Bug fix for rare stack/data-related problems.

- If D'Bridge starts up and determines it was shutdown abnormally/
incorrectly, it will execute the batch file ABNORMAL.BAT if one exists.
For example you could use that batch file to send yourself an email or
cleanup any leftovers in BBS software.

- A new semaphore/dummy file can be created, DBRIDGE.SBS (Stop processing
By Semaphore). If this file exists, D'Bridge will NOT process inbound
mail or scan any outgoing mail. When this file vanishes, processing will
resume normally. This could be useful for some Windows backup programs
which may fail if there is too much disk I/O caused by mail processing.

WARNING: Use this with caution; and any operating-system startup scripts
or batch files should do an IF EXIST \DB\DBRIDGE.SBS DEL
\DB\DBRIDGE.SBS to ensure the file is not "stuck" causing mail
not to be processed.

- Several updates to the F1 Help system and user manual.

VERSION 4 - APRIL 10 2023
-------------------------

A minor release:

- Adds an option to Config-Echomail Areas to specify if an Echomail area is
to be "hidden" from the internal message editor.

If you answer YES to this new question, the Echomail area will NOT appear
when you press A for Areas or ESC-Areas Information.

Note that this does not hide the area from Areafix requests, but obviously
the area will not be presented in Areafix requests from systems that do
not meet the security and group criteria specified in Config-Packet/Mail.

- Also adds the command HIDDEN ON/OFF to the DBUTIL CHANGE command, ie:

C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE SECURITY 50 HIDDEN ON

Will change all Echomail areas matching security level 50 to be
hidden from the internal message editor.

C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE GROUPACCESS C HIDDEN OFF

Will change all Echomail areas matching group access C to not be
hidden.

C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE HIDDEN ON HIDDEN OFF

You guessed it... All Echomail areas hidden will now be shown.

- Bug fix for importing and exporting Local areas.

- Bug fix when editing Local areas.

- Bug fix for the F1-Help system.
