* Per Nick's request, removed the key bindings stuff.  He knows how to fit
  it back in when it's fixed.  Also added more attempts at cache disabling,

        * Recompiled the Java chat applet using a genuine JDK 1.0.2
          compiler.  This should make more browsers happy.

Wed Jun 30 19:19:59 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

          the transition back to the Lobby after it's all done.
        * Added ExpressMessageCat() to allow code to send the user messages
          along with incoming express messages
        * WebCit now sends the name of the end user's browser as the client
          name in a Citadel IDEN command rather than its own name.

Fri May 14 23:37:02 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Initial entry to _BASEROOM_ at login now done as a Skip instead
          of a Goto, in order to prevent it from first marking all msgs old.

Mon May 10 23:09:34 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Replaced _most_ gotoroom() calls with smart_goto(), a version
          which can differentiate the needs of frames and noframes modes

Sat May  8 01:07:06 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

          effort, after all)

Sun Apr 18 23:42:54 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Reworked a lot of the structure, made more HTML "embeddable"

Thu Apr 16 12:00:00 EDT 1999 Nick Grossman <nicl@ulster.net>
        Changed some output formatting (mainly <FONT> tags).
        Changed who.c to use urlescputs() rather than escputs()
        in urls so GOTOs and User Profiles work when the string has a
        space in it.

Wed Apr 14 17:56:18 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/column18/menuFrLoad.html
        How to cause "onLoad=" to cause a sibling frame to refresh without
        having to use the nonportable HTTP "Window-Target:" directive.  Began
        implementation of this; it should allow portable NS/IE compatibility.

Wed Apr  7 21:51:33 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Implemented "access level required to create rooms"

Thu Mar 18 00:23:05 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * webcit.c: modified getz() to *exit* the program when fgets()
          returns an error.  This is actually the desired behavior; it would
          otherwise busy-loop forever on a broken pipe.

Sat Mar  6 19:56:07 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * webcit.c: added to getz() the ability to return an error code;
          implemented this in the main loop, hopefully fixing problems
        * Added "braindamage" file (frames/JS browser compatibility list)
        * Added HTTP "User-agent:" detection
        * wildmat.c, braindamage.c: added
        * Initial value of 'noframes' is now set by the braindamage check
        * Ran everything through "indent -kr -i8"
        * roomops.c: in room list, print a &nbsp; in otherwise empty cells

1999-02-24 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
        * context_loop.c: warning fix
        * webcit.c: off_t is a 64-bit `long long' on BSDI (eek!)

Sat Jan 30 19:00:58 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Resolve the name of the connecting host and pass it on to Citadel

Fri Jan 29 14:49:49 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * wDumpContent() is now responsible for </BODY></HTML> most of the
          time (parameter settable) so that the main menu can easily be
          embedded in every page when running in noframes mode
        * noframes mode selection is now carried in the cookie

Thu Jan 28 20:30:08 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Made the frames stuff less dependent on the HTML TARGET= directive
          and more dependent on the HTTP Window-target: directive.
        * Made the system semi-navigable in noframes mode.

Sat Jan 23 19:36:10 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Brought over the new room listing code and <G>oto heuristics
          from the main Citadel tree, to pay attention to floor/room ordering

Thu Jan 14 17:14:11 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Modified the back end of mime_parser to use callbacks instead of
          doing something specific.  Now we can use it elsewhere.

Mon Jan 11 21:53:16 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Fixed the bugs in "Site-wide configuration"
        * Added a "generic server commands" screen

Fri Jan  8 22:20:54 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Reduced the multiple cookies down to one cookie combining all data.

Mon Jan  4 23:04:36 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Removed wc_host and wc_port cookies.
        * Added an "edit your session" screen to change your wholisting.

        * Added "enter registration"
        * Set up automatic trigger of Enter Registration when the server
          says it's needed
        * Established that a one-to-one WebCit/Citadel correspondence will
          be required.  No big deal due to shared code segments.
        * Added "change password"
        * Added networking configuration screens.  These still need testing.
        * Added a "kill session" link to each line of the wholist when
          logged in as an aide, and the screens to perform this operation.

Thu Dec 31 21:53:20 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Final cvs commit for 1998 (an awful year, I'm glad to see it over).
        * "Finished" the MIME parser.
        * Got image uploads working.
        * Added "add/edit user photo" screens.
        * Added "add/edit room graphic" screens.
        * Added "add/edit floor graphic" screens.
        * Fixed display of floor graphic in known rooms list.

Wed Dec 30 20:36:13 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Wrote mime_parser.c for handling of image uploads.  This will also

        * Added "edit bio"

Sat Dec 26 23:12:47 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Changed the "auto read new" functionality from a meta refresh tag
          to an "onload" directive (the former was causing graphics problems)
        * Added "create room"
        * Added "edit room"

Tue Dec 22 22:35:50 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

        * context_loop.c: Moved "remove session" into its own function.
          Check for dead webcit child process before each transaction.
        * Ignore SIGPIPE; this seems to magically make the program bulletproof
          against broken HTTP connections.
        * Added a housekeeping thread to periodically remove dead sessions
          and kill idle sessions.
        * messages.c: added "delete message" functionality

Wed Dec  9 18:50:46 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * context_loop.c: After fork(), child process closes the HTTP socket
          so when the parent process closes it, it actually _does_ close.
          Otherwise, aIEeeee and possibly other browsers will hang.
        * Added support for graphics images retrieved from the Citadel server.
        * Set up login banner graphic and background image graphic

1998-12-09 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>

Wed Dec  9 11:13:48 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Smoothed out some of the login/logout code.  Failed authentication
          now works the way it should.
        * Added support for new user login (still need to handle registration).

Tue Dec  8 15:45:42 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Discovered that the HTTP socket problem is related to a socket that
          isn't properly lingering on close.  Temporarily hacked a sleep(10)
          into context_loop.c until it is figured out.

Mon Dec  7 17:03:18 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
        * Did a little debugging, still trying to figure out why logging in
          displays "Connection reset by peer" error.  It used to work...

1998-12-07 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
        * Makefile.in: updated dependencies

Sun Dec  6 19:50:55 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

          and port
        * converted to autoconf and began port to Digital UNIX
        * warning fixes
        * context_loop.c: moved the monster 64k buffer array off the stack
        * tcp_sockets.c: getservbyname() doesn't set errno.

1998-12-03 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
        * webserver.c: warning fix
