    This update only has updates for Windows 32/64 and Linux 32/64, no MacOS or
    Pi this go around.

    This adds an SSH fix and the twit filter for BBS users. Not sure what else
    was changed if anything.

    Updated the prealphas again.

    This should fix the "first SSH connection when in daemon mode fails" issue (hopefully).

    It should also introduce the POLL option for mis which will eventually
    replace FIDOPOLL so feel free to experiment with its goodness.

    Cool. I'll wait until A46 comes out, but this sounds nice. :)

    The impact on speed to send traffic to nodes using MIS POLL is amazing!

    Just needed to share that. Thank you.

    Awesome I am glad to hear it! There seem to be a couple wonky display issues with the "currently connected" window but hopefully I can get those resolved shortly. They don't seem to affect any actual data transmission or the standard log window.

    Now that we have this done, next up lets get that error tracking and crash/hold/deactivate system done! In an odd scenario, I am having trouble deciding what I want to call the stanza in the .INI file for that :)

    Intentions are:

    Track failed connections (outbound) and demote from crash to hold
    Track failed authentications
    Track last interaction date/time (done) and deactivate after X days

    But back to the day stanza... Something like that
    [EchoNodeGovernor]

    But I don't like that. Any suggestions?

    Updated the prealphas again.

    issue (hopefully).

    It does fix the first SSH connection fails. But now it seems every connection made creates a zombie process. I just connected twice to the daemon mode MIS, and it happens immediately.

    That process is part of the open node, it will go away when the user logs
    off. Do a grep before during and after logout and you'll see it go from non-existant, to existing, to being removed.

    I used to know more details about it but its been so long now I can't
    remember the circumstances surrounding it. Maybe I can clean it up but
    really its just a display issue almost.

    Yeah, there does not seem to be any negative performance issues or anything.

    Here is what I am working on so far, please provide feedback if you have any:

    [EchoNodeTracker]

    ; Automatically reset the echonode tracking statistics after a specific
    ; number of days (or 0 to disable)

    reset_stats = 0

    ; Set the number of days of inactivity before an Echomail Node is
    ; automatically deactivated (or 0 to disable)

    inactivity = 0

    ; When set to TRUE, MUTIL will remove any files or mail packets from the
    ; node's outbound queue upon deactivation from inactivity

    clear_outbound = true

    ; When Mystic is unable to connect outbound to a node it can automatically
    ; change their mail type from "Crash" to "Hold" after a specific number of
    ; outbound connection failures (or 0 to disable)

    crash_errors = 0

    Maybe both! The terminator will deactivate people and IllBeBack will reactivate after a set period of deactivation time lol
