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;

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!
