Platinum Xpress/WIN 10.0 Pre-Release 1 (pr1) is now available on the
Alpha AUP server. This release includes b47 through pr1 work.
No configuration changes are required.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
b47 -- PKT Origin Address AKA-Aware ------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIX: Outbound netmail PKT header origin address now matches the AKA
used to compose the message.
When a message was composed using an alias address (e.g. 3:712/1321.10
rather than the primary 99:1/5), the PKT header was being written with
the primary address regardless. Some receiving mailers reject PKTs
where the message origin and PKT header origin differ. PX now uses the message origin address in the PKT header when that address is a local AKA.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
b48 -- BinkP Inbound Using Address Logged Post-Authentication ------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIX: The "Using Address z:n/f" log line for inbound sessions now appears after M_OK with the correct zone-matched AKA, rather than before authentication with the primary address.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
b49 -- AKA Zone-Family Matching + Event Collision Fix ------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIX: AKA zone-family matching now correctly selects a local alias from
the same FidoNet zone family (zones 1-6) when calling or answering a node.
When a session involved a node in a FidoNet zone (1 through 6) and the
local system had both a FidoNet AKA and a non-FidoNet AKA (e.g. zone 99),
PX was selecting the wrong AKA. PX now treats all FidoNet zones (1-6) as
the same family for AKA selection, ensuring the correct FidoNet address is used regardless of which specific zone number either side carries.
FIX: Event scheduler collision -- when multiple hourly events shared the
same minute offset, the scheduler could fire more than one in the same
cycle. The first-scheduled event now wins and others are deferred.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
pr1 -- Nodelist Trailing Whitespace Fix ------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIX: BinkP polls were blocked for nodes whose nodelist entry contained trailing whitespace in the flags field (e.g. "IBN " instead of "IBN").
Some hub sites distribute nodelist segment files with trailing spaces
on node lines. PXNLIST now trims the Options field before writing to
the compiled nodelist. ParseBinkpDialStr also trims before parsing.
Re-run PXNLIST after upgrading to recompile the nodelist with clean
flag data. The Nodelist Browser in PxEdit also now displays Options
without trailing whitespace.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ wcBASIC -- FidoFrom AKA Selector in wcWEB New Message Form ------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENH: When composing a Fidonet netmail message in wcWEB, the From line
now shows a dropdown of all locally configured AKA addresses from px.ini. Select the AKA whose zone matches the destination node before sending.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ wcWEB -- Fidonet Nodelist Autosuggest ------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENH: The To: name and FTN address fields in the wcWEB new message compose form now support live nodelist search:
- Type any part of a sysop name (first, last, or partial) in the To:
field to see matching entries. Selecting one fills both To: name and
FTN address automatically.
- Type a zone:net/node prefix in the FTN address field to search by
address. Entering a zone number alone (e.g. "99") lists all nodes
in that zone.
- When a destination is selected, the FidoFrom AKA dropdown switches
automatically to the local AKA whose zone matches the destination.
- When the To: name is AreaFix or FileFix, the Subject line is
automatically filled with the node password from the Node Book
Manager, if one is configured.
Two new scripts are installed to c:\wcat alongside fidomsg.wcx:
html-suggest-nodes.wcx nodelist search backend
html-get-fixpwd.wcx AreaFix/FileFix password backend
