• Fixed an error in monitoring: if no monitoring window was present, the header lines of net/rom nodes broadcasts were still written on the screen, on the input line.
• Added three new commands sh/, show/ and set/. They display a short message "This is not a PacketCluster (TM). Try the Help command." New users, which have used PacketCluster before, tend to try sh/dx, sh/ann as soon as they get in, and all sh/ commands were interpreted as the shout command...
• Length of login.txt limited to 10 lines. Just for your inconvenience 8-)
• Fixed ping: cannot ping local node any more. Pinging it caused the ping packet to hop on the console screen.
• Clusse home page on WWW is http://zone.pspt.fi/clusse/ - check it out.
• Removed channel 0 from the conference mode. Those of you familiar with the internet conversd network know why.
• Added a new message type: Link status changes. Tells users when cluster links are added/dropped. Selectable in Messages and BEeps.
• Removed messages and beeps setting from the Flags command.
• Replaced the regular BIOS ctrl-g beep with my own. Ugh.
• Fixed the list command... "list" was interpreted as linfo... whoops!
• Clusse now checks if the text directory is present on startup...
• More information in the % (list BPQ sockets) command. Preparing for smarter transmit buffering before BPQ to avoid "out of buffers" crashes...
• Did some work with the unproto feature. Now sends WWV as well. Unproto messages are padded with spaces to columns, looks nicer on a terminal. Users can follow the unproto spots by setting their TNC/terminal program to only monitor UI packets addressed from your cluster callsign to DX. Format of the packets is specified in readme.txt. Unproto list requests and dx/ann/wwv spot uploading coming soon! Who wants to write a good terminal program with Clusse support?
• New users don't get all the news when they log in for the first time.
• Fixed a WEIRD bug in user command parsing, which caused it to give false results if the command string was 32 characters long. Example: "t oh7lzb Trying out the parser." (+CR) gave a message of "OH7LZB talks: oh7lzb Trying out the parser".
• Adjusted the behaviour of the console command history again. When you copy a command from the command history, it's added to the end of the list.
• Speedup in the expiry: should be quite a bit faster. Added some buffered reading and writing.
• The DXBase log software seems to give the callsign of the DX before the frequency, "dx oh7lzb 144675". Modified Clusse to accept it.
• Some cosmic changes in the startup screen.
• Fixed talk (again!!) to correctly answer talks to non-existent local users. And some other small fixed bits. I wonder if i ever will get this working the way it should.
• A new file data\nodes.clu stores the rtt's and hop counts for all heard cluster nodes.
• A new file netusers.clu will store the home node of all users on the cluster network to be used when talking to a user not on the user list. The information can be found at least on Talk, DX, Announce and WWV messages. The feature was not completed, so i left it disabled.
• Added expiry for the two new files. Update your expiry.ini.
• Added timestamps to action and band monitoring.
• Added talk mode. See the help file.
• Clusse used to accept add user (PC16) messages from unknown nodes, this caused a memory leak and messy user add messages. Fixed.
