v2.11
iniquity v2.11 - jack phlash ----------------------------- ---- changes between v2.00 final and v2.10. ---- ! iniquity didn't show you the correct errorlevel when exiting... why? i dunno... fixed. + iniquity now exits with errorlevel 255 when exiting from the wfc. this should help users who run automated echomail setups without traditional frontend mailers when making batch files. - removed banned boards and users. how dorky. ! fixed disappearing cursor problem in string editor and system config. ! fixed all y2k bugs i could find including: % display of date mci codes % internal handling of differences between dates and years % handling of user ages during application process % display of 2000+ file dates in microdos % handling date in file/archive viewer % handling of date in file info % handling of date in message new scans % handling of date in file new scans % display of date in logfiles ! made version plus ONLY, no more stupid define plus going on... some limits are still in place to make this release more compatible with the last public iniquity release... (who wants to redo everything!?) honestly the normal freeware version's limits should be enough for anyone. + new waiting for caller screen just for the sake of tradition :) ! changed misc strings and cosmetic effects to better suit new wfc style ! fixed a weird bug i've encountered way too much... when uploading a file and immeadiatly viewing it i'd get a rte209. this turned out to be a problem in various places because iniquity leaves the directory as the temp working directory after uploading and some programs assume you are in the main/startup directory when openning files. ! fixed anipause.ips to avoid future problems with last bug, included. ! new version of rumors.ips, included. ! fixed check.ips to compile without changes ! fixed oneliner.ips to compile without changes ---- release 2 ---- ! help string when changing new user options in sysconfig would display the the wrong string for ask screen length. has always been like this!@ ! if scrolling text was off in new wfc unscrolling text was in wrong place, whoops. ---- release 3 ---- - made it so that welcome.ans is NO LONGER displayed after using all of your invalid login attempts... this has always been like this in iniquity, but why?! ! new user config option didn't work... it'd show the new user config whether on or off. fixed. ---- changes between v2.10 release 3 and v2.11. ---- - removed netmodem support completely... apparently it didn't work right, and since it was only for netmodem/32 1.0 and there is a 2.0 in the works as well as other alternative telnet daemons i decided to just remove it completely... (this was also requested by many many people) ! the multinode option in sys config is now in the main config section rather then by itself in the multinode section. ! changed look of default config screens, reordered some options, changed some colors, etc. ! completely changed all of the config screens, layouts, colors, and strings. ! fixed major y2k bugs in iniqmail, they didn't appear to have been causing any problems because most tossers would have fixed them, but i fixed them anyways. ! another bug found in iniqmail - it was ALWAYS writing 1.msg even if it already existed when running scan. this could cause messages to be lost if iniqmail scan was run on new message events rather than just nightly events. (this wouldn't make a differene to gecho users since gecho always makes a dummy 1.msg after it runs...) ! when running external programs if there wasn't a space after the command string sometimes extra parameters would be appended to the command string causing doors not to run or mci codes to display corrupt information. ! related to the above, when running external programs (any) iq would pass extra parameters that would sometimes interfere with the program being run. % the above two errors would cause most doors to not run correctly, suprising that this was never fixed... ---- other issues and notes... ---- % not a major problem, but something i noted when fixing age checking routines the default version of apply.ips does not check for valid ages. iniquity's internal apply routines will say ages 3< and >90 are invalid. if you are not doing anything special with your apply.ipx you can simply delete it and use the default apply, if not you may wish to correct this problem yourself in apply.ips... (of course this might not be a good idea for toddler and senior citizen interest boards) it's also interesting to note that when using apply.ipx a user is created even if they don't actually complete the registration... i'm sure you can imagine the wonderful situations that this can create. % there was another release of iniquity after 2.00F made by one of the members of idt. this version was 2.01 and contained 3 minor changes, 2 of which have been made in this version. i have been unable to duplicate the 3rd bug which was fixed (door.sys/dorinfo.def problems) so i haven't bothered with it. % there are probably many bugs i did not fix and certainly many things i didn't note in this section. please email me with any small suggestions and bug reports you may have... i will continue to update this release until idt makes an official update. see readme.txt for details. the end. -----------------------------
