Hello All!
What is new in FidoMail Mobile 0.1.9+90:
Windows:
- Upgrading from the very first Windows build (0.1.1, build 78) made
the program start with an empty database, showing the initial setup
screen. The good news: nothing was lost - that build kept its data
in the folder %APPDATA%\net.thodin\fidomail_mobile, and every later
build looked in %APPDATA%\net.thodin\FidoMail Mobile. This release
finds the old folder on the first start and moves its data to the
new location.
- How upgrading works on Windows and Linux now: unpack the new build
over the old program folder. Mail, settings and passwords are kept
in a separate database at a different path, so an upgrade puts none
of them at risk.
- About -> Check for updates now works on Windows and Linux: it tells
you when a newer build is out and opens the download page.
Forwarding messages:
- A forwarded message starts with a header block naming the original
author and address, the addressee, the date, the echo it came from,
the subject and the origin line.
- Forwards carry the FSC-0092 kludges (FWDFROM, FWDORIG, FWDTO,
FWDDEST, FWDSUBJ, FWDAREA, FWDMSGID), so readers that understand
them can see who wrote the original. When you receive such a
forward, the message menu offers "Reply to original sender": write
a netmail to the author of the original message.
Netmail:
- Every outgoing netmail and AreaFix request now carries a Via line
(FTS-4009) with your point address and a UTC timestamp.
- Addresses can be abbreviated the usual FidoNet way: if your address
is 2:5001/100.7, then ".6" means 2:5001/100.6, "56" means
2:5001/56 and "5020/56" means 2:5020/56. The composer shows the
full address it resolved to.
Groups and settings:
- "Unread groups only" and "Show invisible" are now separate for each
uplink, instead of one switch for all of them.
- Volume-key mappings have their own screen: Settings -> Reading ->
"Volume keys..." (Android and iOS).
- "Create score rule..." is hidden while scoring is switched off.
AreaFix:
- Support for BBBS uplinks (the BRoboCop robot). Its robot has no
RESCAN command, so "Rescan" is not executed for them: the robot
would take the request for an area name.
