  34 <PRE>     Services 5.0 alpha 27 is out at the usual place.  The big change, and
  35 the one I'd most appreciate bug reports or other comments about, is the
  36 change to the expiration functionality: expirations are now handled when a
  37 nick/channel/autokill/exception/S-line is looked up, either by name/mask or
  38 via first_xxx()/next_xxx() iteration, rather than by periodically going
  39 through every registered item and checking for expiration.  This has the
  40 advantage that an expired entry is _never_ seen by the code--this includes
  41 both the SxLINE ADD bug mentioned earlier as well as 1-minute autokills
  42 lasting until the next expiration (sometimes 30 minutes later) and similar
  43 situations.  On the other hand, it's theoretically possible for records to
  44 be left in the database forever if they're never touched, taking up extra
  45 space--though this won't happen with the current database format, since it
  46 cycles through all records while writing them to disk.
  47
  48      Note that I'm aware that the mail-auth and memo expiration isn't
  49 updated to use this system yet, so don't bother telling me about that.(:

  51 Changes in version 5.0 alpha 27
  52 -------------------------------
  53 2002/04/05      Reworked expiration logic to avoid long blocks checking for
  54                     expired data and missed expirations.
  55 2002/04/05      Fixed improper aborts when reading in corrupted databases.
  56 2002/04/01      Fixed crash when certain commands did not receive enough
  57                     parameters.  Reported by several people.
