147c Subj : Husky maintenance release of hpt, htick, sqpack etc To : All From : Tobias Ernst Date : Tue Oct 31 2000 05:07 pm Hello world! The Husky project provides free and portable fidonet software for Linux, OS/2, Windows and other platforms. Today we announce the following: - release of emailpkt 0.1-stable, a ftn over email (uue and mime) mailer - maintainance re-release of fidoconfig, hpt, htick, huskybse, smapi and sqpack Emailpkt is a new Husky program maintained by German Theler. It integrates with a Unix MTA and therefore is not available for Win32 or OS/2. The maintainance re-releases (available in source and as binaries for OS/2 and Win32) of the tosser hpt, the ticker htick and the Squish/Jam/MSG message base packer and purger sqpack, as well as of the accompanying libraries, are made from the stable development branch and ONLY contain bug fixes, but nearly no new features. This means you can easily replace the old verisons with the new ones, but it also means you won't get many new features or big behaviour changes. This does not mean that no new features have been developed, it just means they are not included in this maintenance release. This maintenance release mainly includes: - A lot of bug fixes for JAM handling (esp. linking in JAM areas). Note that JAM users should update at least smapi, sqpack, hpt together to the respective newest stable versions for optimum results. - Bug fixes for message base linking. - A Fastecho.cfg to Fidoconfig converter. - A Hpt bug fix for Echomail ring structures (a link with "export off" will not be added to seen-by lines any more). - Support for 2D PKT files (zone field is zero). - Miscellaneous other bug fixes (see the ChangeLog files for more information). The following files have been refreshed: MAGIC FILE CONTENTS DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Code: HUSKYBSE huskybse-0.1b-src.tar.gz huskybse 0.1b-stable Base Pkg.
