Version 0.18 beta: Updated the vote option input for traditional mode (when voting from the 'view results' screen) so that it only accepts numbers and a comma for input.  Also, updated the close-poll behavior so that only the user who created the poll can close it (removed the sysop).

Version 1.17 beta 46: When inputting multiple vote options from the user, it now restricts input to just numbers and commas.  Also, updated the close-poll behavior so that only the poll creator can close the poll (removed the sysop).

Version 1.17 beta 45: Made use of the new Msgbase.close_poll() method to close a poll.  Requires the August 19, 2017 or newer build of Synchronet 3.17.

Version 0.27 beta: Made use of the new Msgbase.close_poll() method to close a poll.  Requires the August 19, 2017 or newer build of Synchronet 3.17.

Made a couple of minor updates - Displaying the ESC=Quit text when voting on a poll, and when viwing the status, it now outputs the number of each poll and the total number of polls.

After closing a poll and then quitting out of viewing results, the number of open polls shown on the screen will be correctly reduced.

Bug fix: When displaying the list of polls to vote on, it now only shows polls that are open.  Also, udpated the main menu to also show how many polls are open (in addition to how many polls there are in the area).

Version 1.17 beta 44: Added support for users to close polls (only if they created the poll or if they're the sysop).  I ended up using the ! key for that, since many other keys were already taken.  Also, renamed "Read Me.txt" and "Revision history.txt" so they don't have spaces in the filenames.

Version 0.25 Beta: Finished the code for closing a poll.  This is done with the C key when viewing poll results.

Made a small code change around where votes are entered in the traditional user interface (when voting from viewing the results).  Also added a condition where sysops are also able to close polls (although that functionality still isn't complete yet).

Updated to support multi-answer polls.  Requires a Synchronet 3.17 build from August 14, 2017 or newer.
Next, I want to add a command to close a poll (would only work for the person who created the poll or the sysop).

Updated to show the number of choices a user can submit for a poll, and restricted the user to choosing only that many. Also, started working on adding an option to let the user close a poll they created (while viewing poll results).  Requires the latest & greatest DDLightbarMenu.js (in exec\load).

Version 0.23 Beta: Started working on supporting voting on multi-answer polls.  It appears to be working.  Requires the latest & greatest DDLightbarMenu.js (in sbbs\exec\load).  It could still use a little refinement, such as showing the maximum number of votes (and limiting to that) and showing that the user can use the spacebar to select options in the lightbar menu.

Small optimization in the countPollsInSubBoard and subBoardHasPolls functions - Storing the number of messages (msgbase.total_msgs) in a variable before the loop

Version 0.22 Beta: Updated to display "Loading areas..." when loading the message areas & looking to see which ones have polls.  Also, changed "topic area" verbage to "voting area".

SlyVote v0.21 beta: In the area selection list, added a check mark next to areas that have polls in them.  Also, widened the menu for the poll question and choice lists, since some poll questions and options can have longer text than I had planned for.  Also, removed some temporary text I had put in with the previous version.

Version 1.17 beta 42: When showing tally information for messages with upvotes & downvotes, it now shows who voted on the message (for sysops only).

Version 0.20 Beta: Fixed a bug in the stats display where it was assigning the total_votes in the headers instead of comparing, using an = instead of ==.  Also, updated the stats view to display the stats in a scrollable frame rather than simply dumping out the stats to the screen.

Bug fix - When choosing to vote on polls, it now correctly displays the correct message if the user has voted on all polls or no polls exist in the chosen sub-board.

Version 0.19 beta: Added a configuration option, useAllAvailableSubBoards, which tells SlyVote to use all available sub-boards where voting is enabled.  Defaults to true.  Also, fixed an off-by-1 bug when displaying the list of sub-boards to choose from.  Also, set the (new) ampersandHotkeysInItems property in most of the DDLightbarMenu objects to false so that it won't interpret ampersands before a character in menu items as hotkeys.

Use the same commands as the build system to get our mangled OS-arch format
Add icc and clang compiler prefixes since our build system supports them.
Prefered order: gcc, clang, icc.

Removed DDLightbarMenu.js from this directory, since I've added it to sbbs\exec\load and I only want to maintain one copy of this file.

Version 1.17 beta 41: Bug fix - When submitting an upvote/downvote on a message using the scrollable interface, it was automatically moving to the next message.  Now it stays at the same message and refreshes the screen so that the updated vote count for the message can be seen.

Version 1.17 beta 40: When doing a message search (by text, from name, etc.), now it does not update the last-read & scan pointers.  This way, when the user lists/reads messages in a sub-board as usual, the user will still be where they left off.

Version 1.17 beta 39: Made an adjustment for ANSI content detection for when to convert to Synchronet codes to make the message look okay in ANSI scrolling mode

Version 1.17 beta 38: When searching for messages (by text, from name, to name, or to you), it now uses the get_all_msg_headers() function if that function is available (otherwise, it will fall back to going through all messages one-by-one in the messagebase object).  With the get_all_msg_headers() function, it can get vote tally information so that information can be displayed when viewing the messages.

Version 1.17 beta 37: Added some more checking for ANSI content for certain messages to convert ANSI to Synchronet codes to prevent messages being displayed mangled in the ANSI scrolling interface.
