- Move views out of database to flat files in a "views" directory, allowing

at startup and can be reloaded through the sysop menu
- Speed up telnet IAC negotiation to avoid delay after connect, avoid doing
NEWENV unless talking to the trusted proxy
- - When opening the last-opened database at startup, if the command key
- is held down, do not open it and prompt for a different one.
+ - Add BSD Syslog (RFC3164) support, sending all logged events to a
+ configured syslog server
+ - When opening the last-opened database at startup, if the Command key
+ is held down, do not open it and prompt for a different one
- Add support for {{center_XX}} template variable
- Remove ATQ0 from default modem init string to be able to handle when
the modem responds to init with an error
- When tossing FTN packets, log failures and move files to the "bad"
directory, then send local mail to sysop
- Add page number to prompt in boards menus
+ - Prevent running daily pruning jobs if system clock year is less than 2024,
+ to avoid pruning all mail and sessions if the clock gets reset
- Fix 'new'/'signup' logins not going directly to the signup menu
- Fix bug in modem handling where a session wasn't properly disassociated
when the session was forcefully closed
