Changes Vr. 1.2 (2002-07-28)

• Fix: Some logfile (error-) entries on startup forced HService to terminate immediately without any notice.
   
• Fix: Account "admin" did not have access to RC server after updates in some cases, preventing HControl from being used at all.
   
• New: Script functions:
  - DiskInfo: get free space of disk and its total size
  - MsgLoad, MsgSave: load/save message from/to file
  - HamNewMail: send mail by script
  - HamRequest, HamRequestStr: execute Live server requests
  - HamSendMail[Auth]: added optional To-selection
   
• Chg: Some (minor) optimizations regarding local newsserver access.
   
• New: Option to add milliseconds to timestamp in logfile entries
  (HControl -> Config. -> App. -> Logfile).
   
• New: HControl: "View All" and "View Selected Thread" added to context menu
  of log view. Second one is also called when double-clicking a log line.
   
• Fix: Possible race condition leading to an access violation with threads
  started by scripts, by Live server or in Daily Maintenance.
   
• Chg: Extended error checking and logging for script's Dll functions.
   
• Chg: Besides startup and shutdown messages, HService itself will only show errors, warnings and system messages while it is running.
   
• Fix: ParamStr(0) did not contain path if script was started by RunScript.
   
• Chg: Script action "MailInternal" removed - it is also a "MailIn" now.
   
• Fix: Possible deadlock when using old script commands "HamNewsPost" and "HamNewsPull". Newer "HamNewsJobs*" commands were not affected.
   
• Chg: Improved error checking and handling for group files (e. g. disk full, group file's size limit reached).
   
• New: Size limit of a group's data file raised from 2 GB to 4 GB.
   
• Chg: Script Actions: Definitions and parameters of message related actions have changed. Script now has direct access to the message text before it is saved to any file. See "Script Actions" in helpfile for details.
   
• New: Adding of "Followup-To: poster" header when redirecting mails to newsgroups by "postto" rules (mail filters) can now be turned off.
  (HControl -> Config. -> Hamster -> Remote Mail)
   
• New: Completed/enhanced support for moderated and "news-to-mail" newsgroups:
  - Unapproved postings in moderated groups (=groups of type "m") can now be sent to its moderator by mail. If no moderator address is set, the group is like a "y" one (i. e. remote server handles "moderation").
  - Added a new group type "g" (gateway) to redirect postings to (e. g.) a mailing list. If no mail address is given, the group is like a "n" one (i. e. no posting allowed, user's are forced to use mail).
  See "group type" and "mail address" at (HControl->Config.->Newsgroups ->Settings) for details.
   
• New: Added "LIVE REQUEST <code>" command to execute a Live request in RC server's "Telnet Mode".
