 +==== XRouter Changelog ==== 
 + 
 +<code> 
 + 
 +                    Version 504v - 20th Jan 2026 
 +                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 + 
 + 
 +Fixed:  When used via NetRom, the HTTP "routes" page sometimes 
 +        displayed the wrong callsgns for neighbours. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  SMTP client was completely broken by v504j. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  From v504s onwards, XRouter could send DM frames in response 
 +        to overheard packets, if neither callsign was one of 
 +        XRouter's callsigns. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  On low bandwith summary HTML page, the wind speeds were 
 +        incorrectly displayed at 10 times their value! 
 + 
 +Fixed:  PMS events weren't being distributed by MQTT broker unless the 
 +        MQTT publisher client was enabled. 
 + 
 +Change: Resolver process names are no longer re-used on subsequent 
 +        resolutions, so it should now be easier to follow their 
 +        progress in the log (trivial). 
 + 
 +Change: SMTP timer now defaults to zero, i.e. disabled. No point in 
 +        wasting time checking for mail if the sysop hasn't configured 
 +        the node for SMTP, e.g. the majority of cases.. 
 + 
 +Change: When entering an email into the BBS, the confirmation text now 
 +        displays the destination address in email format instead of 
 +        "BBS" format 
 + 
 +Change: Process logging is less cryptic (trivial). 
 + 
 +Change: PMS, BLOG and WALL events now include the event type in the 
 +        topic, allowing finer-grained subscription. 
 + 
 +Added:  "CMD LIST", to list the sysop-defined commands. 
 + 
 +Added:  "Z" option in FWD.SYS to force the use of Ctrl-Z instead of 
 +        /EX for line endings when forwarding mail (required by BayCom 
 +        mailboxes). 
 + 
 +Added:  "Use Ctrl-Z" checkbox on BBS forwarding admin page. 
 + 
 +Added:  Detection of BayCom and OpenBCM mailboxes, causing XRouter to 
 +        use Ctrl-Z for line endings. 
 + 
 + 
 +************************************************************************ 
 + 
 +                    Version 504u - 10th Jan 2026 
 +                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 + 
 +Fixed:  L2 connections to CHAT and PMS callsigns have been broken 
 +        since 4/1/2005! It took 20 years for anyone to notice! 
 + 
 +Fixed:  Case normalisation of user names in BBS was causing hyphenated 
 +        first names such as Jean-Paul to have the wrong case. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  Since v502w (2nd August 2023), running in Daemon mode with log 
 +        level set to WARNING or above, caused the log to fill with 
 +        "4 SYST: sendto() err 22: 'Invalid argument'" warnings. 
 + 
 +Added:  Sysop Chat window now accepts the shifted versions of function 
 +        keys, for cases where the host operating system intercepts the 
 +        unshifted function keys. 
 + 
 +Added:  Extra flags (bits 4 and 5) to CFLAGS as follows: 
 + 
 +           Bit Dec  Function 
 +           --------------------------------------------------------- 
 +            5  32   Prevent connections to PMS/BBS on this port 
 +            6  64   Prevent connections to CHAT on this port 
 + 
 +Added:  MQTT request option "xrouter/get/{nodecall}/mheard/ports", to 
 +        obtain a list of MH enabled ports. 
 + 
 +Added:  MQTT topic "xrouter/event/{nodecall}/mhlast/{portnum}". 
 + 
 +        Clients subscribed to this topic receive a single MHeard item 
 +        for each frame XRouter receives on an MH-enabled port. This 
 +        allows client applications to build their own global or port 
 +        MH lists which may be larger than the XRouter ones. Or simply 
 +        display the callsign of the last packet received on one or all 
 +        ports. For example, one possible application may be a 
 +        standalone ESP32 device with an LCD display which shows 
 +        details of the last packet heard. 
 + 
 +Added:  Console windows can now be scrolled using mouse wheel, in 
 +        addition to the up/down arrow keys.. 
 + 
 +Added:  Text may now be copied and pasted within XRouter, and to/from 
 +        the operating system's clipboard. This is a proof of concept 
 +        only, and may be refined in future versions. 
 + 
 +        To Copy Text From XRouter to Clipboard: 
 +        Press and hold the left mouse button at the top left of an 
 +        imaginary rectangle containing the text.  While holding the 
 +        button down, drag the mouse to the bottom right of the 
 +        rectangle. There will be no visual indication of the selection 
 +        until the mouse button is released, at which point the text is 
 +        briefly highlighted and copied to the clipboard. 
 + 
 +        To Paste Text Into XRouter From the Clipboard: 
 +        On a window which has an "input" line, e.g. "consoles" or 
 +        "sysop chat", the key sequence Ctrl-V *appends* the clipboard 
 +        text to the command line. In this version, you cannot "insert" 
 +        text at a specific point, only append. 
 + 
 +Added:  Graceful shutdown upon receipt of SIGTERM. 
 + 
 +************************************************************************ 
 + 
 +                Version 504t - 2nd Jan 2026 
 +                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 + 
 +Change: Command history is bigger and is preserved across reboots. 
 + 
 +Added:  New directive CONSOLEFLAGS for use in XROUTER.CFG. If bit 0 
 +        is set, the action of up/down-arrow keys and their shifted 
 +        counterparts is swapped, meaning that the unshifted up/down 
 +        arrow keys control the command history instead of scrollback, 
 +        and the shifted up/down arrows control scrollback. This makes 
 +        the console behave more like a Linux/Windows terminal, at the 
 +        expense of confusing the seasoned XRouter users. 
 + 
 +Added:  Pressing <SHIFT> plus <F1> through <F6> on a CONSOLE allows 
 +        those function keys to behave as in the DOS version, i.e. 
 +        without being intercepted by the operating system. 
 + 
 +Added:  On console windows, Ctrl-C can now be used to terminate a PING, 
 +        NPING, Traceroute etc. in addition to the usual method of 
 +        entering a blank command line. 
 + 
 +(Only xrwin32v504t-no-pcap.exe and xrwin32v504t.exe were published.) 
 + 
 +************************************************************************ 
 + 
 +                    Version 504s - 30th Dec 2025 
 +                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 + 
 +Fixed:  WXPRESS was setting the value of WXPOLL and vice versa, 
 +        potentially causing manic polling of the weather server. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  Since v501b, when a frame was received while LAPB was in 
 +        disconnected state, it was being ignored instead of being 
 +        rejected with a DM. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  Response to an MQTT "get" request had missing topic. 
 + 
 +Change: Minimum interval for WXPOLL is now 10 seconds. Setting it any 
 +        lower will disable polling altogether. Be aware that polling a 
 +        public weather server any more frequently than every 600 
 +        seconds will most likely result in your account being banned! 
 + 
 +Change: When viewing an XRouter MAN(ual) page via the HTTP interface, 
 +        clicking on the section number in the header or footer will 
 +        open the index page for that section. The header caption 
 +        "XROUTER REFERENCE MANUAL" is now a hyperlink that opens the 
 +        root page, i.e. the list of manual sections. 
 + 
 +************************************************************************ 
 + 
 +                    Version 504r - 28th Dec 2025 
 +                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 + 
 +Added:  Support for the new XrTrace application. 
 + 
 +************************************************************************ 
 + 
 +                    Version 504q - 26th Dec 2025 
 +                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 + 
 +Fixed:  FBB unproto broadcasts sent upon reception of a new message 
 +        had the destination "MAIL" instead of "FBB". 
 + 
 +Fixed:  On some operating systems only, XRouter would connect to the 
 +        VARA TNC, then immediately disconnect with the error message 
 +        "TNC has gone away". 
 + 
 +Fixed:  XRouter was IP-banning AXUDP from (X)net because the latter 
 +        sends nodes broadcasts with missing AX25 destination. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  On some systems, viewing the PMS listing with a browser via 
 +        the Linux IP stack occasionally caused XRouter to segfault (It 
 +        did not segfault if XRouter's own IP stack was used). 
 + 
 +Change: Connections to APPLTYPE=TCP normally default to "binary" mode, 
 +        and use "carriage return" (ASCII 13) as the line ending, as 
 +        per standard Packet Radio practice.  But some applications may 
 +        require "telnet" standard line endings (carriage return plus 
 +        line feed) instead.  If this is the case, appending 'T' to the 
 +        APPLTYPE=TCP directive causes the connection to use Telnet mode 
 +        instead of pure binary. e.g. "APPLTYPE=TCP,192.168.1.1:8015 T". 
 + 
 +Added:  "SMACK" to KISSOPTIONS, for TNC's that support/require it. 
 + 
 +Added:  New subcommand: "IP B[an] I[gnore] <ipaddr> [netmask]", which 
 +        can be used to exempt an ip address or range of IP addresses 
 +        from automatic banning in the event of suspicious activity. 
 +        LAN and "localhost" addresses are now automatically exempt. 
 + 
 +************************************************************************ 
 + 
 +                    Version 504p - 13th Dec 2025 
 +                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 + 
 +Fixed:  ROUTE commands, which had been broken by v504j. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  WP "Is_BBS" entries were not updated from routing headers 
 + 
 +Fixed:  On very fast connections, CHARGEN was using most of the 
 +        resources. Slowed it down to a more manageable pace, still 
 +        plenty fast enough for AXUDP or RF connections. 
 +  
 +Fixed:  L4 RX Flow Control. L4 circuits would sometimes choke on very 
 +        large buletins sent on fast links, and would take a long time 
 +        to unchoke. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  XRouter would silently exit if OARC map server sent a TCP 
 +        reset. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  When a non-XRouter neighbour enabled INP3, any conventional 
 +        "qualities" it sent in NODES broadcasts were being heavily 
 +        de-rated by XRouter, often causing them to fall below the 
 +        high MINQUALs that are used nowadays. This was was caused by 
 +        code from long ago, when the only non-XRouter neighbours 
 +        capable of INP3 were (X)Net. ((X)net manufactured 
 +        artificially high "qualities" from RTT and hops, distorting 
 +        the routing).  With BPQ now having INP3, the forgotten code 
 +        came back into play, so it has now been disabled for anything 
 +        other than (X)net.  But note that the last time I looked, 
 +        Linux's INP3 implementation was also wrong, so please report 
 +        any instances of silly qualities from such neighbours. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  Chatserver would sometimes lose sysop's settings (name etc) 
 + 
 +Fixed:  Excessive DNS requests in cases where non-authoritative name 
 +        server couldn't resolve a name. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  "Private" IP route indication was potentially unreliable, 
 +        although this had never actually been observed in practice. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  BBS Mail import from "mail.in" file, broken by v504j. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  If BBS forwarding script was edited via the HTTP interface, 
 +        it was saved in upper case, upsetting "Waitfor" lines which 
 +        are case sensitive. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  The C[onnect] command was passing garbage to the ARDOP and 
 +        VARA TNC's. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  ARDOP, VARA and TCP interfaces were rejecting RADIONUM, so 
 +        they were prevented from using rig control. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  UIFLOOD and UITRACE digipeating were not working. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  APRS digipeating was disabled unless the "DIGI_UI" flag was 
 +        set in DIGIFLAGS, meaning that it was not possible to enable 
 +        APRS digipeating independently of "normal" digipeating. 
 + 
 +Fixed:  DISTRIB.SYS "don't forward" entries were distributing 
 +        everything to BBS callsign "*". 
 + 
 +Fixed:  Storage for COM device name is now explicitly deallocated at 
 +        closedown, to prevent orphaned memory upon "hot" restarts. 
 + 
 +Change: Prevented attempts to make AX25 connections on ports that 
 +        don't support AX25. 
 + 
 +Change: Following a complaint that it was slowing workflow, removed the 
 +        HTML dialog confirming message deletion. 
 + 
 +Change: AXRoutes command was always sysop-only, but why? As is useful 
 +        for network debugging, it is now open to all except guests. 
 + 
 +Change: Connections to BBS now always use "Connected to" instead of 
 +        replying in the caller's language, otherwise it confuses 
 +        simple machines. 
 + 
 +Change: Added more fields to the BBS "J" response. 
 + 
 +Added:  BBS "JK" command, to list the recent connections separately 
 +        in chronological order. 
 + 
 +Added:  "ilen=" to L4 trace, so that the payload length can be known 
 +         even when there's no AX25 layer on the trace to display the 
 +         packet length. 
 + 
 +Added:  "CONFIG={ipaddr}" in INTERFACE type TCP, to prevent 
 +        connections from unauthorised client IPs. 
 + 
 +Added:  S[tats] PORT <n> [reset] 
 + 
 +Added:  R[oute] S[tats] <call> <Port> [R[eset]]. 
 + 
 +Added:  Route connection / disconnection history 
 + 
 +Added:  BBSBEACONS flag (8) to TXOK. Setting this flag on a PORT's 
 +        TXOK enables FBB "Resync" requests, mail header broadcasts, 
 +        and "Mail for:" beacons on that PORT. 
 + 
 +Added:  FBB unproto headers and resync capability. To enable this on 
 +        a PORT, you must add 8 to the TXOK flags for that port, e.g. 
 +        normally TXOK=9, or TXOK=13 if weather beacons are also 
 +        enabled. 
 + 
 +Added:  BBS "Mail for" beacons. Enabled as above. 
 + 
 +Added:  New directive "FbbUnprotos" to PMS.CFG. Setting FbbUnprotos=1 
 +        enables FBB unproto (UI) mail header broadcasts on any 
 +        PORT that has the BBSBEACONS flag (8) set in TXOK. If the 
 +        FbbUnprotos directive is not included, it defaults to 0 (no 
 +        unprotos) 
 + 
 +Added:  New directive "MaxUnprotos" to PMS.CFG. This specifies the 
 +        maximum number of message headers that will be returned in 
 +        response to an FBB "resync" request. The default is 100. 
 +        Setting this to 0 disables the resync capability. Note that 
 +        resync requests are ignored unless the TXOK flags for the PORT 
 +        include the BBSBEACONS flag (8). 
 + 
 +Added:  Controls for setting FbbUnprotos and MaxUnprotos via the BBS 
 +        Admin HTTP interface. 
 + 
 +Added   Logging to syslog. 
 + 
 +Added   Live BBS activity logging to a console, allowing scrollback 
 +        and capture, to remote sysop sesions, and to HTTP interface 
 + 
 +Added   Live logging to console, remote sysop sessions, and HTTP 
 +        interface. 
 + 
 +Added:  Sysop command "LOG L[ive] [n]", where [n] specifies the 
 +        subsystem(s) to display: 0=off, 1=BBS, 2=All. (unfinished) 
 + 
 +Added:  At console, F6 key enables "Live Log" mode on that console. 
 +        Normal console operation is suspended while in Live Log mode. 
 +        Options are displayed on the menubar. Use Q[uit] to exit.  
 + 
 +Added:  L[og] [ A[ll] | B[bs] | O[ff] ] subcommand to MON[itor] cmd. 
 + 
 +Added:  BBS "OLR" command to enable "Off Line Reader" mode. This is 
 +        for automated mail programs such as Sally and Winpack. If the 
 +        client sends the command "OLR" soon after connection, the 
 +        session will switch to OLR mode, turning off colour and 
 +        pagination, and ensuring a consistent machine-friendly mail 
 +        header format.  
 + 
 +Added:  New or updated MAN files, to be placed in the XRouter's MAN 
 +        subdirectory, overwriting any existing files of the same name. 
 + 
 +Added:  New or updated BBS help files, to be placed in the HELP/PMS 
 +        subdirectory, overwriting any existing files of the same name.
