OpenXP 5.0.58 - 2023-12-22
Improvements and bugfixes:

when sending a RFC-Mail to multiple recipients
- Fixed: Editing a "Carbon Copy List" did not work quite well
- Fixed: BossNode packet password was revealed in Fido crash mails
- Added support for mail addresses exceeding the 80 characters
database limit, at least in replies
- Message viewer: reduced delay on popup message "Copied: ..."
from 2 to 1 seconds when copying an URL to the clipboard
- Added the exclamation mark to the list of valid URL characters

of attachments in an unsent message

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenXP 5.0.56 - 2022-05-07
Improvements and bugfixes:
- FIDO: Added support for a separate packet password.
The way in which OpenXP handles packet passwords has changed.
Packet passwords(if required) MUST now be explicitely defined
in "Edit -> Servers -> Edit -> Robots -> Packet PW", even if
your packet password is the same as your session password. If
your BossNode does not use packet passwords, the "Packet PW"
field should be left empty.
- Added support for long message date in Config/Display/Messages
Normally, OpenXP uses the date format DD.MM in message lists
if the message was created within the last 12 months.
Otherwise the date format MM/YY is used.
If you enable "long message date" the date format DD.MM.YY
is used unconditionally.
- OpenXP will no longer abort a netcall if the current group
is not found, it will just continue with the next group
- Fixed NNTP error "Invalid syntax encountered in References:
header field body (unexpected byte or empty content line)"
- Show warning at program start if one or more storage files
is about to reach the critical size of 2 GB.
- Terminate OpenXP at startup if at least one of the storage
files exceeded the critical size of 2 GB.
