1.2.2: 10-Mar-1999 More accurate index rewriting (there was a subtle chance of race condition before). Fixed bug with placing not html-escaped author/subject to the index. Fixed bug when not active user still was able to post. Fixed parameter names unwebification in parse_form. Small appearance changes. 1.2: 28-Oct-1998 Some minor bugs was fixed. 1.1.4: 27-Oct-1998 More appearance control - fonts, backgrounds.. It's now possible to run forums on dark background. Text formatter added. Works just great in my opinion! 1.1.3: 26-Oct-1998 It's really possible now to not quote text (by $quote_text=0) and to allow html (by $allow_html=1). The bug fixed - it's now impossible to anonymously post with the name of registered user when $acc_policy==1. Two methods of spam protection are available now -- adding leading space (idea by Eddie Rhodes) and cgi-based combining of mailto's (my own idea). The second is more secure, but requires server activity to mail the letter. 1.1.2: 25-Oct-1998 Banned words. 1.1.1: 12-Oct-1998 Messages are sorted in descendent order by date in `remove_by_date'. Some changes in example configuration comments. Password in menu is now changed to entered one after password change. Some minor changes in registration form and processing. 1.1: 1-Oct-1998 Ruboard is now compatible with perl5 and Linux. 1.1beta: 26-Sep-1998 IP addresses blocking is implemented both in administration tool and in the board itself. Controlled by $acc_ip configuration variable. There is an option for registered users to override the IP address limit. Password protection has been implemented at last. Ability to post images and/or URL's is now controllable (all, only registered, nobody). Most of changes from 1.0 to 1.1 have been sponsored by James Garner (garnerjamesa@hotmail.com). Thank you, James! 1.1alpha: 21-Sep-1998 Administration tool has been significantly changed. There is no way to delete just one message, complete thread is removed always! I see no sence in removing single messages. No code from original wwwadmin.pl left, btw. Internal algorithms were completely changed. All four modes are now working - delete, delete by num, delete by author and delete by date. If you were using wwwadmin in some undocumented way earlier it might require some checking/reprogramming! A lot of visual changes. Minor preparations to add password protected posting mode - `for registered users only'. 1.0.1: 19-Sep-1998 $adfile parameter added to configuration -- file to insert on every generated page. Suitable for advertisements. 1.0: 12-Sep-1998 Some minor bugfixes after installing at http://www.aw.ru/boards/aw/ 1.0alpha3: 11-Sep-1998 Rubadmin is almost working now. Only remove by date and remove by author aren't finished. Most of common code moved to rublib.pl 1.0alpha2: 31-Jul-1998 Citation symbol is customable and cited text is now italic'azed. Number of entries on main page is now controllable with $max_entries. Finished changes, polished algorithms. Even more configuration parameters to control appearance and features. 1.0alpha1: 30-Jul-1998 Message number is now locked, so simultaneous postings will not overlap. One script can now serve a lot of boards, configuration is taken from file. Added $homedir variable, all paths may be absolute or relative to it. Multi-language support (russian and english). Default appearance has been changed. Another mode added - `leave text as is' which allows writers easily type various not-html-transparent symbols (<>&"). Separate posting mode added and start page example changed to use it. Code cleaned up, optimized and changed a lot. May accept both POST and GET request methods. GET is suitable for providing initial values. Name changed to ruboard - all changes has been done in order to run multiple forums on Russian site (http://www.aw.ru/). After two evenings of work I'd decided to distribute the result as ruboard. wwwboard 2.0 ALPHA 2 as taken from Matt's site at July 28, 1998.
