messages), you can now set the Guest accounts new-msg-scan values. The default
is 0 (no new messages).

Sysop can set the number of days-worth of new messages that new users will
see in their first new-message scan (the default is 0, no new messages).
This does lengthen the amount of time that the first "Loading message pointers"
is displayed (it has to go and open all the message bases), but at least new
users are no longer bombarded with thousands of very old messages when they
answer "Yes" to the "Scan for New Messages" prompt. This setting is in
SCFG->System->New User Values->Days of New Messages. Set it to some really
high number (maximum of 9999) if you want the old behavior.

Daylight Savings Time (sic) into a single configuration setting now under the
System menu (System->Local Time Zone), with updated help screens.

to confuse sysops (a holdover from the SBBSFIDO days) and would create an
AREAS.BBS file not compatible with SBBSecho. The "AREAS.BBS (SBBSecho)"
export group menu option remains and is the one that sysops should normally use
when wanting to create an SBBSecho-compatible AREAS.BBS file.

Done.

If DigitalMan uses the Edit and Continue feature, he can fix it.  :-)

JS model (bbs.scan_msgs() method).

Optionally, external modules may be executed in place of "built-in" operations
for:
- reading mail (email or netmail)
- scanning posts (searching/scanning/reading a single sub-board)
- scanning sub-boards (all, one, or a group)

Each of these may be configured (in SCFG->System->Loadable Modules)
with command-line options for a total length of up to 63 characters.

Note to module programmers: each module here will be passed additional
command-line arguments to indicate how or why the user operation was invoked.

For the Reading Mail module, the 'which' value (in decimal) and the user-number
is passed (in decimal). Usually the user-number will be the current user logged
in, but not always (e.g. if the user is a sysop and reading other user's mail).
The 'which' values (defined in load/sbbsdefs.js) of MAIL_YOUR, MAIL_SENT,
and MAIL_ALL must be handled (MAIL_ANY won't be used).

For the Scan Posts module, the sub-board number and scan mode (both in decimal)
and the 'find' string (text being searched for) are passed as arguments
(in that order). The scan mode values (defined in sbbsdefs.js) are the same as
those supported by bbs.scan_posts(). All of the values should be supported
and they can be combined (e.g. SCAN_CONST|SCAN_NEW
and SCAN_NEW|SCAN_TOYOU). The 'find' string is only used if the SCAN_FIND mode
bit is set. It is the responsibilty of the module (if configured) to enforce
sub-board read access restrictions.

For the Scan Subs module, the first argument is 1 if "all subs" are being
scanned, 0 otherwise (normally the user is prompted for the breadth of the
scan in this case, but that's up to the module author), and the scan 'mode' is
passed in decimal, in that order. If the SCAN_FIND mode flag is passed in, this
module should prompt the user for the text string to search for. If this module
is not configured, the Scan Posts module will be executed for each sub-board
scanned.

Recursion protection was added, so it is actually possible for the Read Mail
module, for example, to call bbs.read_mail() and it'll work, but why would you?

If any of these user operations are initiated during logon, at the request of
Baja or JavaScript module, or whatever, and if the module is actually
configured (and not already executing to handle the operation), the module
will be executed in-place-of the built-in functionality. Feedback welcome,

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.

of these files for now (if you don't want to upgrade just yet).

Don't use the WIN_SAV mode for the question toggles (causes unnecessary
screen flash).
Save/restore the current lightbar offset for the new user "default toggles"
and "new user questions" lists.
Refer to the "chat handle" field as "/ call sign" here as well.

code is generated from the sysop-supplied name, don't truncate at the first
space character (concatenate words instead) - making much nicer internal codes
by default (e.g. "FAT FISH" becomes "FATFISH" instead of "FAT").

going forward.

Default max number of files per directory is now 10000.
