- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 5.50
-
- ALL FURTHER CHANGES WILL BE IN THE "ChangeLog" FILE.
-
- Please view that file for further information.
-
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 5.01 ("Scooby")
-
- Major overhaul. The server is now multithreaded; you run one copy of it
-when you bring up your system, rather than having inetd start a separate
-server process for each session.
-
- Access level 0, which was formerly "marked for deletion," has been changed
-to "deleted." When a user record is marked access level 0, it is then
-considered a vacant space in the userlog rather than a user entry. When
-new users are added to the system, the server first searches for these vacant
-slots before appending to the end of the file.
-
- The setup program has been overhauled. It can now operate in three different
-modes: a curses-based mode, a mode based on Savio Lam's "dialog" program, and
-of course dumb-terminal mode.
-
- All system messages (hello, newuser, etc.) can now be edited from a client
-program. We now also have support for graphics images, including graphics
-tied to various system objects (such as pictures of each user).
-
- Much more support for server graphics is in place. This is currently used
-in WebCit; expect other clients to do more with graphics in the future.
-
- There really is too much to list here. More documentation will be written
-as time permits.
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 4.11
-
- Smarter usage of external editors. EDITOR_EXIT is no longer needed. Instead,
-the program examines temp files before and after they are edited, in order to
-determine whether the user saved the file. Modified files are saved, unchanged
-files are aborted.
-
- External editors work for Bio and Room Info files as well.
-
- The TCP/IP based client (citatcp, linked against ipc_c_tcp.o) now supports
-connection to a Citadel server from behind a SOCKS v4 firewall without having
-to "socksify" the program first.
-
- Added a few more commands to the chat server.
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 4.10
-
- Floors now fully supported in both client and server.
-
- Now supports "bio" files for each user - free-form text files in which
-users may record personal info for others to browse.
-
- <.G>oto and <.S>kip now have more advanced logic for partial matches. A
-left-aligned match carries a heavier weight than a mid-string match. For
-example, <.G> TECH would prefer "Tech Area>" over "Biotech/Ethics>".
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 4.03
-
- There are now commands available for users with their own copy of the client
-to upload and download directly to their local disk, without having to use
-a protocol such as Zmodem. These commands are disabled by default, but can
-easily be enabled by changing citadel.rc.
-
- Multiuser <C>hat is now fully integrated into both the client and server.
-
- New <P>aging functionality allows users to send each other near-real-time
-"express" messages.
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 4.02
-
- The "rnews" program has been renamed to "rcit". Its usage has not changed;
-it still accepts UseNet-style news by default. Use the -c option to read in
-Citadel (IGnet) format data.
-
- The text client now compiles and works on systems using BSD-style <sgtty.h>
-in addition to SysV-style <termio.h>. This should be a big help for many.
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 4.01
-
- Remember to always run setup again when using a new version of the code, to
-bring your data files up to date! No data will be lost.
-
- This release is primarily to clean up loose ends and fix assorted small
-bug reports from the users of 4.00. Also, the code is slowly being reworked
-to compile cleanly under ANSI C compilers even when warning messages are
-set to the highest level.
-
- -> The client now sends periodic "keep-alive" messages to the server during
-message entry, with both internal and external editors. This should keep
-sessions from locking up when a user hits <S>ave after typing for a long time.
-
- -> Stats now has a "-b" option for batch mode (see utils.doc)
- It also has a "-p" option to only print the post-to-call ratios.
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 4.00
-
- This is the long-awaited client/server version of Citadel. Feedback is
-encouraged!
-
- NOTE: if you are upgrading to 4.00 from a 3.2x release, you should run setup
-to bring your data files up to date. Setup will prompt you to run the
-"conv_32_40" program; go ahead and do that.
-
- If you are upgrading to 4.00 from a 3.1x release, setup will not tell you
-what to do! Here is the correct procedure:
- 1. Run the "conv_31_32" program
- 2. Run setup
- 3. Run "conv_32_40"
-
- If you are currently running a version earlier than 3.10, you must erase your
-data files and bring up a new system.
-
- A new series of commands to manipluate files in a room's directory:
- <.A>ide <F>ile <D>elete -- delete it
- <.A>ide <F>ile <M>ove -- move it to another room
- <.A>ide <F>ile <S>end -- send it over the network
-
- Changed the way the main Citadel program sends network mail, both to other
-Citadels and through the RFC822 gateway. Everything now gets fed through
-netproc, which is responsible for figuring out the routing and doing the
-actual processing. It also gets rid of quite a bit of redundant code.
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 3.23
-
- NOTE: if you are upgrading to 3.23 from another 3.2x release, you MUST run
-setup to bring your data files up to date. Run setup and answer "no" when it
-asks you if you want to create the various files. It will see your old files
-and bring them up to date. (If you are doing a new installation, of course,
-you'll be creating all new files anyway.)
-
- The built-in message editor has been completely rewritten, and is now the
-preferable editor to use. It generates messages that will be formatted to
-the reader's screen width, as in other implementations of Citadel (and as
-Citadel/UX used to do until a few versions ago -- there was a need to put
-that functionality back in).
-
- Users are now prompted for their screen width AND height.
-
- We can now talk to C86NET compliant networks. Get the "cit86net" package
-if you wish to do this.
-
- Rooms can now optionally be "read only," which means that only Aides and
-utilities such as the networker and aidepost can post to the room.
-
- Kernel-based file locking is now fully supported for the purpose of locking
-the message base during writes. If your kernel supports the flock() system
-call, you can tell the compiler to use it by setting a flag in the Makefile.
-If your kernel supports file locking using fcntl(), this will automatically be
-detected and utilized. If your kernel supports neither, the program will use
-a fully portable (but less reliable) file locking scheme.
-
- An external editor is no longer required for the .AI command.
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 3.22
-
- The "setup" program is now a curses-based, full-screen utility that's very
-easy to use. Of course, if you have trouble compiling curses-based programs
-on your system, you can compile it to run the old way.
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 3.21
-
- I'm now running my system under Linux, since that seems to be what everyone
-is using these days. As a result, you'll find that version 3.21 will compile
-very cleanly under Linux.
-
-
- Citadel/UX release notes -- version 3.20
-
- Lots of improvements and new features are here. It seems that assorted
-hacks and variations of Citadel/UX have percolated around the country --
-this 3.2 release should supersede them and get everyone running (hopefully)
-off the same code. I've looked around at the various mods people have made
-to Citadel/UX and tried to implement the most-often-added and most-requested
-features to the stock distribution. If there's a feature you want/need that
-still isn't here, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do about adding it
-to the next release.
