      =============================================================================       * Forwarded by Vince Coen (2:250/1)       * Area : NETMAIL (netmail - fido)       * From : Scott Street, 1:266/420 (26 Jan 11 14:11)       * To : Vince Coen       =============================================================================       ------------------------       Hi Vince,              VC> 1. Well in the Mbse Changelog specified by original source version as       VC> well as your updated ver. no. What functional changes made to what       VC> programs or modules.              Summary of Changes I've made:       1) across nearly every executable: corrected compiler warnings during the       'inlineing' of snprintf due to very bad code practices; i.e. using some       random       number for the max string length verses actually using the length.              2) this corrected my issues with mbdiff that I caused a crash, as well as       numerous bbs faults that exceptioned out.              3) corrected some minor bugs with lib/nntp.c (memset on line 252 was using       wrong variable)              4) New feature: during the creation of a new Netmail; the name entered is       searched in the nodelist for a match, all matches are presented to the user       for        entry. ( see lib/nodelist.c and mbsebbs/email.c, also added a couple of       entries into the language files - the non-English ones need translating,       entries 480 and 481 )              VC> 2. In the source code inline comments showing your changes with fault       VC> fixed/new functionality added etc              I didn't document them in code -- this is the third time I've had to make the       same updates. I gave up documenting them; however, I've noted that for future       changes.              VC> 4. What system testing you did to verify your mods and to verify your       VC> changes       VC> has NOT affected anything else where ever possible. Yes I know this one is       VC> bit more involved but can be shown by running modified version over a       VC> period.              I have my own BBS runing this code, as well as my experimental side - neither       show ill effects.              VC> At the momemt I have one bug that I cannot trace with mbdiff rejecting       VC> nodediffs as failing the CRC checks, can't see why its code as no changes       VC> have been made but all the same most puzzling.       --------------------                     Scott has given me a updated version with his and my patches. I am now running        this version as 0.95.11 for the next few weeks to see if it has fixed a        problem and more importantly does create any more (problems/bugs, I mean).              I will let you all know in a couple of weeks but after the new month change        over.              After that I will make it available via my ftp link.              P.S. There is one additional change that just updates the copyright date to        2011.              Vince              --- Linux/Mbse/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK (2:250/1)    |
