VERSION 4 - APRIL 15 2021
-------------------------

The good thing about our now-third Covid lockdown in Toronto, is that I'm
stuck at home with nothing to do.... but work on your favorite mailer. You
have to see the humor in any situation?

Various code improvements to the Queue, Areafix, VIA kludge "compliance", unpacking/tossing mail, personal mail waiting and packet logging. Also improvements to overall performance and long-term reliability; slightly less CPU usage on certain Windows operating systems. The F1-Help and user manual were also slightly updated.

Even if your existing D'Bridge system is running good, I recommend upgrading
to this release given the many behind-the-scenes improvements to the
codebase.

VERSION 4 - JUNE 14 2021
------------------------

A very minor release:

- Dropped the timezone portion from the VIA kludge... for now.

- Fix for the internal editor not updating the "highest" message counter
when a new message is entered... it tested here fine?

- Fix in Config-Advanced-Security/Miscellaneous when D'Bridge is used
on consoles larger than 25 lines.

- "Querying modem" in Config-COMM/Modem can be aborted if you believe there
is a problem. By default, D'Bridge tries 3 times to query the modem in
that setup screen.

- Slightly reduced disk access in the Unpack/Toss cycle.

- Adjustments to the ClockSync functionality. Note that this should not be
configured unless you are using a "real DOS" computer and are not using
anything else to sync the clock.

- Tagline functionality defaults to disabled for new installations.

- Minor code improvements.

- Phased out the term "Setup Wizard". Its a program, not a magician.

- Minor improvements to some of the F1-Help screens and user manual.

- Colour change in the Installation screen.

- More cowbell for G00R00.

VERSION 4 - SEPTEMBER 8 2022
----------------------------

This minor release addresses issues with the BinkD subsystem.

- Significant code improvements for BinkD staging or "move" operations,
uncompressed mail packets for busy Hub systems or systems that forward
mail to many downlinks.

- Fix for an unusual problem with a downlink receiving a large compressed
mail archive via BinkD, the file transfer gets aborted somehow, then the
downlink immediately connects again and didn't receive that archive BUT
received all of that archive's PKT files, so a leftover incomplete mail
archive transfer remained on his system.

- Compressed mail (XMAIL/Arcmail) flagged as Hold or Forced Hold will not
be sent to the destination system in an outbound BinkD transaction.

- Improvements to packet logging.

VERSION 4 - APRIL 10 2023
-------------------------

A minor release:

- Adds an option to Config-Echomail Areas to specify if an Echomail area is
to be "hidden" from the internal message editor.

If you answer YES to this new question, the Echomail area will NOT appear
when you press A for Areas or ESC-Areas Information.

Note that this does not hide the area from Areafix requests, but obviously
the area will not be presented in Areafix requests from systems that do
not meet the security and group criteria specified in Config-Packet/Mail.

- Also adds the command HIDDEN ON/OFF to the DBUTIL CHANGE command, ie:

C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE SECURITY 50 HIDDEN ON

Will change all Echomail areas matching security level 50 to be
hidden from the internal message editor.

C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE GROUPACCESS C HIDDEN OFF

Will change all Echomail areas matching group access C to not be
hidden.

C:\DB> DBUTIL CHANGE HIDDEN ON HIDDEN OFF

You guessed it... All Echomail areas hidden will now be shown.

- Bug fix for importing and exporting Local areas.

- Bug fix when editing Local areas.

- Bug fix for the F1-Help system.
