The HOME and END keys now go to the first and last item in the whole list, rather than just the current page.  This behavior is more consistent with things like sbbslist.js.

system.get_node() method of reading a node's data record (from node.dab).

use this in place of system.node_list[] if you're going to be using a lot of
the properties and passing them around to methods which are going to each
possibly dereference the values, as *each* deference results in a read of the
node record in the node.dab. On my system, a simple node list (e.g. /L
command) would result in between 60 and 100 reads of the node.dab (for a 13
node system), which was nuts.

The system.get_node() method currently leaves the node record unlocked and
there is currently no equivalent put_node() method, so you still need to use
the system.node_list[] for modification of node records. But, I now see there
are race conditions with the current methods of read-modify-writes of the
node_list[] properties. We should be locking a node.dab record, reading it,
modifying it, writing it, and then unlocking it - as is done in the C/C++
code. So... that's a todo item.

Also created system.stats.node_gets to track the number of node.dab reads
from a single instance of the system object. May remove this any time.

Add support for [exec:<file>.js] sections: for executing another JavaScript
files as part of the install.
Add support for [eval:string] sections: for evaluating a JavaScript expression
as part of an install.
Add support for an optional "prompt" key for each item. If set to a string,
overrides the default confirmation prompt text. If set to false, disables
the confirmation prompt for that item.

script are arrays, pass each element of the array as a separate argument to the
child script. This allows one script to generate a variable-length list of
arguments to be passed to another.

When using the up arrow at the top of the page to scroll up one, or the bottom arrow at the bottom of the page to scroll down one, sbbslist now scrolls the list up/down one entry rather than the whole page of entries, to be consistent with earlier behavior (1.54 and earlier).

bbs.mods.str_cmds_parameter_history): the sysop can use the up/down arrow
keys to scroll back through command parameter history (for the current
login-session).

(a 'Y' to a No/yes prompt). This allows us to install a "Reset LORD" program
option (for the Operator) without risking accidental fat-finger reset of the
game.

When using navigation keys such as HOME, END, PageUp, PageDown, and the up & down arrow keys, the BBS entries will now fill the whole screen, even when you scroll to the end of the BBS list.

This is an artifact from SBBS v2 for DOS:
The file would contain the address of a shadow of the modem status register
(written by execdos.exe) for dropped-carrier detection in xsdk doors (or the
"dcdwatch" utility) while the BBS was "shrunk" out of memory to execute the
external program with maximal available memory.

Dear drive-by IRC visitor,

That script does not work, so please do not waste your time on it.
I neglected to delete it in CVS, but this oversight has now been
corrected.

Had you remained online and waited for an answer I might not have
had to resort to contacting you in this manner. Alas, here we are.

Good morrow to you, kind person.

Sincerely,

This insures that incremental builds (e.g. in src/sbbs3) use the same
build type (e.g. debug vs. release) as the intitial install. Unfortuantely
it also means that switching the build type later requires editing or
deleting the localdefs.mk file, which means new instructions for the wiki.

Fixed issues with NODE, LOG, SLOG, and NLOG commands:
No executefile file extension specified, so problems (on Windows) would occur
if you had to both exec/node and exec/node.exe (for example). Windows would
try to run "node" (e.g. a Linux native executable).
