2.7t 2nd October 2001
  • When CWMail shows attachments within a message it put links of the form
    http://fred.com/scripts/cwmail.exe/people.gif?cmd=...
    the /people.gif bit in the middle is just to help some browsers know what filename to use if you ask them to save
    BUT some webservers dont like a url like that.
    a new ini setting no_slash_filename lets you turn this feature off if your webserver needs you to do that.
  • Ignore leading quotes in comparisons for sorting message lists on from address etc.
  • Allow $(pophost) in dflt_reply setting in user.dat
  • NOTE: if you are setting up multiple pophost settings in the cwmail.ini for vhost sections dont use an orginal_pophost setting as the two settings are incompatible.
  • Add pre ini read logging  so if something in cgi goes wrong before ini file has been read it can still be logged.
  • Compile for  sco unix.
  • Add :port to ||server|| template variable if port is not 80 so you can run easily on a non standard port.
  • Serve sort_on variable in all templates and sort_field and sort_direction note last two in lang.dat so can be translated for foreign languages.
  • Template changes to serve "caller" and "return-url" for link to NetAuth DMailWeb etc. So that they know what called them and can have a "return to cwmail" link on their pages. Note the same technique could be used for other third party pages or cgi's which will be used with CWMail
  • Fix problem with autolink back from NetAuth. Note you need current versions of NetAuth and CWMail to make this work again.
  • Added ||h_date_mn|| template variable to give month numeric 1 to 12
  • Serve h_date_time and t24 in item init so for all templates displaying a message.
  • Serve h_date_day and h_date_d h_date_y and h_date_m variables in item as well as list pages
  • If extra variable defined in form in auto_login starts with a , dont put an & before it in location url
    This is used to make links to neauth DMailWeb with caller and return url information passed to them
  • Added a return button in DMailWeb list page similar to CWMail link at bottom of list page but using
    the passed caller and return variables.
  • make utokc cookie expire after auto_logout_mins WAS FAULTY NOW FIXED
  • Move change of . to _ in global address book open to after getting user directory so this works with an original pophost setting.
  • Fix address books with 1k+ entries and pick_abook_max > 500 ish - was being truncated at about 500 entries.
2.7s 2nd August 2001
  • Added more meta tags to stop cacheing of login page.
  • Allow page=xx with any command.
  • Added a  process=x so you can do cmd=x&process=y&page=z note this in not generic but will work in most places.
    Sequence followed will be do command x but dont show the normal page it would display. Then do command y
    if no page= display its normal page else display page z.

  • Fix bug which occured on some systems if user  had more than 10 folders
2.7o 7th June 2001
  • Change default to tcode true. Note if you want to login from a fixed login page (rather than normal generated one) you need to add ini setting no_tcode true to .ini file.
  • Keep old tcodes for longer to prevent cached logins.
  • Added new template variables
    h_date_d 1 to 31
    h_date_y 2001 etc

    stream_max n with default of 1
    by sending more than 1 top command at once better response time is provided when a large number of new emails are present. BUT some POP servers can't handle this! A good place to start is 10
  • Log serving of gif images via cgi
  • Allow an option in auto_login ini lines. If extra starts with a , append it directly to cmd=autologin thus
    - for autologins records in ini file if extra starts with comma putit in as is right after
    auto_login 1 netauth.exe $(workarea)/../netauth show=passwd.tpl ,fwd1
    will send ...netauth.exe?cmd=autologin,fwd1&user=username&pass_file=workarea
  • Added an auto rebuild of index of folder if messages there but no index.dat - this was so sysadmin can kill some message and index files himself with a problem.
  • Allow saveconfig hidden variable in login.tpl to allow login and saveconfig all at once so you can
    enter real name etc etc all on login page if you want to.
  • Fix bug causing multiple attachments to not be displayted properly in some situations.

    add new form variables must_lock and read_only to force readonly or lock on a command.
    make item command read_only ie no lock needed.
    ini setting nfs true for shared nfs drives as need different lock mechanism.

2.7f 1st March 2001
  • Add log send option and more error logging to send function
  • Fix bug with % in address book causing death of cgi
  • Added to registration form request for information on worst feature or most annoying aspect of product to help in continuous improvement plan.
  • When saving rules miss out empty ones  ie those with no rule or nothing to search for.
  • Change cgi and templates for config and login to use setcookie instead of set_cookie as now set_ in a variable name means set the following variables value  ie set_fred sets variable fred. This was stopping auto-login from working on latest versions. Another work around without changeing cgi was to change variables in templates to  set_set_cookie   
  • Added an ini setting lock_old secs. default is 300   Lock files older than this are ignored. ie this sets time to free an account after a problem. Too short and it may just be a slow pop server or slow link to user. To long and you have to wait a long time for an account to free up.
  • Make default for lock_wait 5 secs. If cant get a lock in this time return an error. Saves having many cgi instances waiting for locks.  Too small a value will produce cant get lock errors. Too long will increase load as multiple copies of cgi can be waiting for a lock.
2.7d 23 Feb 2001

  • DMailWeb builds other than nt and linux were missing the wap .wml files

  • Fix bug causing print button in item.tpl to fail on some systems. in printwin we had ||http||||server||/ + url / was wrong - deleted it now we have var nurl = "||http||||server||" + url;
  • Trap kills from webserver so we dont leave files locked on attachment download aborts. Saves users waiting 5mins for lock timeout.

  • Give better error when cookie based utoken not found
  • Change to  require_cookies false for new installations as causes problems when testing with flaky browsers
  • Fix bug introduced in 2.7b with new message command

  • For addresses in pick list increase max length of an address from 90ish to 255

    those other than first message.
2.7a 15th Dec 2000
  • Added new ini setting extended_index true/false
    if its false which is default then message indexes are compatible with earlier versions. but status header is not saved and hence cant be used for determining message read status from pophost.
    If its true (default for new installations) then returning to version 2.6k or earlier will cause a crash

    These constructs set the variable fred to contain bill and serve them to the next page
    If these set constructs are used with u_ variables the values will also be stored in user.dat
  • Added template variable ||page|| which gives name of current template file
  • Added support for hidden variable send_date and (if not empty) it is used in date header when doing send. With addition of javascript in send.tpl to write this send_date the message is sent with a date header which gives time and timezone on users browser rather than on the cwmail/dmailweb host.

  • Add support for
    <input type="hidden" name="clear_uvars" value="u_tick1,u_tick3,u_tick22">
        <input type=checkbox name="u_tick1" value="checked" ||u_tick1||> u_tick1

  • Added alternative hashing method for hashing usernames to work directories and an ini setting to control it. (Dont change on existing systems!):
    hash_method 2
    The new method allows any characters in usernames and uses a two level directory structure    eg. workarea/n_a9/b4/encoded_user@domain.name
    rather than just workarea/u_xx/user@domain_name
    This is for new large systems on unix. It has a very flat distribution and will produce less than 800 directories per directory even on systems with many milliions of user accounts.
    Note1: Most large systems even on unix do not see a problem with existing hash method which is more transparent.
    Note2: As changeing the hashing method will make the cgi look in a different directory for a users files it should not be done on a working system. (Users would loose their messages and settings)
    A utility wmcd which returns a user_directory for an given username is included in the new distribution. Later a change hash method utility will be provided to move user files.
  • Updated manager page so that wildcards for users should be given as *@whatsit.com rather than *@whatsit_com
