- If you are upgrading from SBBSecho v2.x, run "jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js" to convert your ctrl/sbbsecho.cfg to the new ctrl/sbbsecho.ini. - Major code overhaul/re-write/modernization - ArcMail/Attach/FD mode NOT TESTED: beware if you're using this style mailer! - New features: + Easier to manage configuration file (sbbsecho.ini) + Multiple sysop aliases supported (for receiving netmail) + Mutual-exclusion-lock file (ctrl/sbbsecho.bsy) to prevent accidental concurrent invocations of SBBSecho + FileBoxes (optional inbox and outbox per node, only in BSO mode) + EchoList 4-char "flags" are now 25-char "keys" and much easier to deal with + Maximum msg age configurable for NetMail and EchoMail (separately) + Configurable "Area Manager" user name (default: SYSOP) + Configurable "Default Recipient" for netmail (default: SYSOP) + Far fewer command-line options, more settings in EchoCfg + Old command-lines will still work, but most of the legacy options are just ignored now. Run "sbbsecho -?" for command-line syntax and options. Other improvements: + All Fido kludes, including PATH and SEEN-BY lines are stored in the Synchronet Message Base, always (can't be disabled) + Better security for inbound EchoMail (passwords are always enforced) + More comprehensive log output (the log output is more of a priority than the console output now) + Increased accuracy for recipient user name/alias matching + Higher-level of uniqueness to generated packet filenames + All temporary files (e.g. packets in process) are created in an SBBSecho-specific temporary file directory + No longer auto-terminates when any local key is pressed: use Ctrl-C/Break instead to initiate a graceful premature termination + Much more help text in echocfg + Better organization of settings in echocfg + Optional per-node "comments" for use in echocfg->Linked Nodes
