-- [16.Oct.2001] jml -
+ Released version 0.06!
-- [12.Oct.2001] jml -
+ No longer using Inline::C.. Code moved to
Karma::Output::C. Added make step to the
installer for Karma:: modules. The dynamic
libs (c code) will be generated durring the
install.
+ Added missing dependency for File::Tail.
+ printc is now written in C for speed. karma
now requires the Inline::C module for this
purpose. This is a real performance increase.
- The new implementation of printc() removes support
for passing references and file handles, so just
dereference them yourself before calling.
+ Formats are now interpolated with the formatc()
and sformatc() functions. Formats passed to printc()
will no longer be interpreted. Someone really needs
to document all of this (hint, hint).
= Fixed erroneous return value from printc().
(was losing the first digit of $width)
= Several small corrections to the output of centered (|)
formats.
-- [10.Oct.2001] jml -
+ Added 'formats' to printc, these allow
values to be inserted into graphics at
will by calling code, simalar to so called
MCI codes, but completely secure.
-- [08.Oct.2001] jml -
+ Many feature enhancements to the installer
in preparation for the upcoming release.
- RedHat specific function calls removed from
the ktalkd init script for debian compatibility.
-- [05.Oct.2001] jml -
= Refined the logic in the talk menu so that
the process remains dormant until there
is user input or chat activity.
= Fixed a bug in the time tracking code that
gave new users more minutes than they deserved.
= Fixed bug in user editor preventing keys from
being deleted.
-- [04.Oct.2001] jml -
+ Karma now has online user help! hit ? from
Any menu!
= Update checker modified to run as a sub process,
and send the operator an alert via karma email.
+ bubble() routine added to facilitate online
help system.
+ Help written for many menus.
= Many many minor changes in preparation for
the upcoming release.
- We no longer make use of File::NFSLock, and
therefore no longer require it to be installed
-- [29.Sep.2001] jml -
+ Karma::DB can now store array references.
+ Modified Karma::DB to prevent it from listing
dotfiles. You may still use keys that begin
with dots, however.
-- [26.Sep.2001] jml -
+ Karma now automatically checks for updates, and
notifies the Operator if a new version has been
released.
- Changed login process back to the way it used to be
(single process).
= Moved key encoding functionality from the Karma::DB
package on over to Karma::DB::Record. This is what
now allows us to dynamically date the names of the
history files.
-- [24.Sep.2001] jml -
= Fixed small bug in Karma::DB::Record that caused
keys deleted from the database to be ignored by
other processes. This bug didn't actually effect
any function of the bbs, however.
-- [22.Sep.2001] jml -
= Some symlinks were missing after the installation,
this is because cvs removed them. The install.pl script
now creates these links automatically.
+ install.pl now asks for a password to create the operator
account with. This is more secure.
-- [19.Sep.2001] jml -
+ Added default color settings to allow transparency in
various x terminal emulators that allow it..
= Fixed bug in Progress indicator that caused automatic
destruction to be attempted more than once. (which
also happened to be the bug that caused the node
installation to crash )
- Rewrote most of functions::screen.
-- [15.Sep.2001] jml -
= Reworked the install.pl code a bit, just
to give it the appearance of a real application.
-- [13.Sep.2001] jml -
= Many documentation fixes.
+ Changed pod.pl to set the html tags.
+ Locked down the permissions more.
-- [11.Sep.2001] jml -
= Flew jetplane into the world trade center.
= Many documentation updates.
= Continued packaging effort in preparance for initial
public release.
-- [09.Sep.2001] jml -
+ Added POD installer script.
+ Began development on concept model for Karma/2...
-- [06.Sep.2001] jml -
+++ Milestone!!!
Today marks the first occasion of karma working in
a dual shadow configuration OUT OF THE BOX, with
no additional setup. this is due to the new install.pl
script. woohoo!

many important codes.
-- [03.Sep.2001] jml -

download.

automatically extracted, converted to karma style,
and inserted into the file bases.

bases. The new import routines are housed there.

for retrieving an entire record only once.

Karma::DB::Record format.
= Upload/Download protocols moved to
menu/filedepot/files/protocols.
-- [02.Sep.2001] jml -

immediately, as opposed to after a server reload.

properly.
= Lost the ChangeLog entries for today and got yelled
at ;-)
= ktalkd is now started by init instead of karma. it
also reloads its configuration on sig USR1 as it
should.
+ Added autologin support! It should work with any telnet
client that supports such things.
-- [01.Sep.2001] jml -
= Fixed silly inconsistency in the node allocation that
caused some not to be recycled.
