  VAXBB version 0.95-1/ John G. Drummond / omar@allwrong.com --------------------------------------------------------- CHANGELOG for VAXBB version 0.95-1 2/05/02 -Fixed bug in "previous" button that got missed before the 0.95 release. Thanks Chris Sands --v.0.95 released-- (0.94 was never released) 2/02/02- Made addbbuser die if htpasswd binary is missing; moved &PrintBase to bbconfig; included &TestInput to patch a security hole (I'm an idiot); included bbstatwindow into main code; fixed negative unread in bbstatus when articles are deleted 2/01/02- corrected problem of SEARCH "Exit" link not returning to READ menu 12/18/01- getreply.pl now strips thread info from "Reply to:" entries in subject line. 11/02/01- Fixed the ignominious "Exit from Read By ID bug of doom." Thanks LS 9/04/01 - Reversed search order in FindIt() (in bbconfig) so that more recent articles get searched first. 3/22/00 - Finished removal of postfile_database code. Fixed bbskipnames, which got broken somewhere back there. 3/21/00 - Started converting from using "postfile_database" list of post files to simply using the directory listing w/ opendir(). 12/21/00 - Fixed bug where addbbuser and addbbcat was not chown/chgrping the users and posts dirs. PrintArticle now prints category name in all caps (for historical reasons) Removed dangerous system(rm) calls from delbbcat. 12/20/00 - Modified addbbuser and addbbcat to create users and posts directories if they don't exist. Implemented read/query by user id. Added ftp:// and https:// to link generating regex. 12/19/00 - Added more comments to bbconfig. Fixed bug where date was not being displayed in readall-subsequent. Added more comments to a few other files. Removed system() calls to mkdir and touch. Added help menus, which seem to not have made it into the last release. :) Fixed bug in find.pl where thread info was not being separated from the actual article number. 12/18/00 - Added support for HTML anchors in the post body (can be turned off in bbconfig). --v.0.93 released-- 12/05/00 - Fixed bug in delete.pl allowing ppl to delete anyone's posts. Fixed bugs in modify.cgi (was totally broken, not sure when that happened). Wrote basic menu help. Removed delete.devel.pl and delconfirm.cgi, both now deprecated. Wrote basic menu-level help. 11/27/00 - Fixed bug where PrintError subroutine was broken. Added delete.pl. Added inclusion of delete button when author or administrator is reading a post. 11/21/00 - Moved errors to PrintError subroutine --v.0.921 released-- 11/19/00 - Fixed bug where quotes would chop the end of subject fields -- thanks to agentplaid for the report. Got rid of need for temporary files (I am an idiot). 11/17/00 - Added delbbuser and delbbcat for the sake of simplicity; however, they need to be made safer. Removed deprecated $BBHTML from bbconfig. Updated FILES to reflect actual reality. ;)-~ --v. 0.92 released-- 11/10/00 - Fixed MARK ALL READ in never-read category bug 11/9/00 - Added threading info to replied-to articles; removed hard email links to me (OOPS!); 11/8/00 - Removed some hard paths that I missed, fixed some broken links that occurred because of them. Removed "Previous" button from article #1. --v. 0.91 released-- 11/3/00 - Added --initial function to addbbuser. Added addbbcat program. Created index.pl to make vaxbb completely cgi based and insular. 11/2/00 - Rewrote code to relativize paths; added bbconfig; relegated all html files to dynamic creation by htmls.pl; changed directory structure for data and information. 4/00 - 10/00 -- Misc little tweaks and failed experiments. Also added fullbbstat.cgi, cleaned up code. --v.0.01 released-- 4/7/00 - Fixed bug where modify allows HTML tags 1999 - Began project as a sprawling mass of junk in an effort to learn PERL and resurrect my favorite bb ever: bb.chatter on vax1.acs.jmu.edu. Long Live the VAXVeterans. Long Live DAK!
