Santronics Software, Inc.,
Version 10.0 Build 500.1 (Alpha AUP)

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT THIS UPDATE:

Alpha AUP channel. This is the first v10 series build (500.1) made available on the Alpha autoupdate stream. To test, run the command: AutoUpdate /alpha /log. The Alpha stream is limited to AUP subscribers and invited 3rd-party developers.

Plug & Play: If you use 3rd-party applications that load Wildcat! RPC DLLs outside of the main Wildcat! installation path (for example, moved copies in external door directories), you may encounter a version mismatch between the new 500 DLLs and older 454 DLLs. Replace those external copies with the updated 500 RPC DLLs.

Changes, New Features and Enhancements by Wildcat! Component  

OPENSSL (OPENSSL)

- UPD: OpenSSL v3.5.0 is current for Wildcat! SSL operations. Custom build for
       continued XP/2003 support. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

WCSERVER (Wildcat! Server)

- Core server and hosting services rebuilt under the new toolset-split pipeline.
  No user-visible behavioral changes expected for Alpha beyond TLS stack update.

- srvstat.exe performance data display now supports Wildcat! Server running as
  an Windows/NT Service. Before, it worked only when running as a Desktop app.

WCCONFIG (Wildcat! Configuration)

- No functional changes. Updated defaults align with the toolset-split layout.

WCSSL (Wildcat! Secured Socket Layer)

- Linked against OpenSSL v3.5.0 (see OPENSSL).

WCSSLCONFIG (Wildcat! SSL Configuration)

- No UI changes in this Alpha. Existing SNI/virtual domain workflows from 454.16
  continue to apply.

WCWEB (Wildcat! Web Server)

- DOC: Authentication/PCI guidance refreshed; examples emphasize that when PCI is
  enabled, login is a two-step (wcsid -> wcpci) and BASIC generally requires SSL,
  while DIGEST is permissible under PCI.

WCNNTP (Wildcat! NNTP/News Server)

- No changes in this Alpha.

WCBASIC (Wildcat! BASIC Software Development Kit)


- UPD: The QWK Transfer WCC modules where updated to use wc7z.exe
       instead of zip.exe and unzip.exe.

       download qwk mail.wcc
       upload rep packet.wcc

- NEW: Added Html-ListCallers.wcc to the wcBASIC plus pack.  Html-ListCallers.wcx added
  to the Wildcat.wcl library.  This wcx is used in Who's Online to display the last
  callers in the bottoms.

  By default, only sysops can see this.  To allow all users, you have to
  create a custom\whos_online.htm copy and edit/change the @IF line in
  the block of code near the bottom:

   @IF ACCESS.OID.OBJECTID_MASTER_SYSOP@  @//@ Allow Master Sysop to see everything
      @if Exist "wc:\code\html-listcallers.wcx"@
        <div id="whobot">
        @RUNWCX "wc:\code\html-listcallers.wcx"@
        </div>
      @endif@
   @ENDIF@


  Change the @IF to this:


   @IF 1@  @//@ Allow everyone

WCQWK (Wildcat! QWK)

- UPD: Added Wc7z support to wcQWK
- UPD: Improved logging
- UPD: Command line: "wcQWK Import" or "wcQWK Export" will list of the hub hostnames

WCTASKMGR (Wildcat! Task Manager)


- FIX: Updated the DST Transition logic to consider CTime DST transition events.

WC7ZIP (Wildcat! 7-zip Archiver)


- UPD: WC7Z replaces the installed Dynazip DLL and usage of the zip.exe in various
       Wildcat! Components. Wildcat! historically used the zip format in components.
       In this update, the WC7Z.EXE default compression was set to "zip" format.
       Use the "-t7z" switch to compress using the "7z" format.
