      SBBSecho v3.0: · 2205e969
      rswindell authored
      - 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

      Change the target to Windows XP-IA32: resolves the "not a valid Win32 · 40f5417e
      rswindell authored
      application" error message (when run on XP) and reportedly will allow target
      executables to run on non-SEE (pre-Pentium III) CPUs. Seriously, anyone really
      running Windows XP on a Pentium II today? I guess it's possible <shrug> and we
      really get little benefit from SSE in Synchronet.
      
      I couldn't get Windows 2000 running in Hyper-V, so I guess Windows 2000 is
      now officially unsupported by Synchronet (and long unsupported by Microsoft).
      
      Thanks to Android8675 for the bug report and Rushfan for the solution tip.
