    Log Message:
    Support !include wildcard-pattern

    This allows auto-inclusion of sub-directories of config files (e.g. !include modopts.d/*.ini). This, along with the next commit to js_file.c, allows module authors (or sysops) to keep their module-specific settings in a module-specific file (rather than always merging-with/managing the monolithic/shared modopts.ini). The [modname] section heading is still required in the included .ini file.

    Replaced use of non-thread-safe STRERROR() with safe_strerror().

    Fix the root root cause of TypeError: obj is not an object

    iniGetNamedStringList() was returning NULL when attempting to get the list of keys in the "root" (unnamed) section and the file is actually empty/blank. If there were *any* characters in the file, it would return an empty list (not NULL). Now, always return the empty list, even when the file is blank.

    De-duplicate the lists returned by iniGet/ReadSectionList()

    I noticed a duplicate area name (AGN_MODS) in a filefix %LIST response
    from my FidoNet hub that's running TickIt/TickFix, and I thought to myself: Self, that shouldn't be possible. But alas, if one does have duplicate
    sections in a .ini file (e.g. tickit.ini), the iniGet/ReadSectionList() function would indeed return duplicate items in the list. Since the second section with the same name is not actually accessible, it shouldn't be counted as a valid section and thus not returned as part of the section list. Section names are not case sensitive, so the names are compared case-insensitively for de-duplication purposes too.

    I noticed a duplicate area name (AGN_MODS) in a filefix %LIST response from my FidoNet hub that's running TickIt/TickFix,

    Glad to be of service... :)

    I went to delete the extra entry and noticed that one of my othernets linked to all of my file areas, including Fido and my "other" othernets.

    I'm not sure if it's a problem or if traditionally access to file areas is limited to the network the AKA belongs to. If so, it might be helpful down
    the road to have filefix be able to limit visibility to specific file lists, akin to the way that areafix has separate backbone files with flags.






    ... Am I any closer to finding what I'm looking for?

    Figure it was time to start playing with tic files again. It's only been about 25 years.

    Yeah, I noticed that you had the othernet file echoes in the %list results.

If so, it might be helpful down the road to have filefix be able to limit visibility to specific file lists, akin to the way that areafix has separate backbone files with flags.

    Yup. I'll add it to teh todo list. :-)

    It might be easier to keep to one tickit.ini file and add a flag field? I suppose it depends on if you want filefix to be consistent with areafix.


    ... Faced with a choice, do both.

    i've mentioned it before... yes, tickit needs groups tags like sbbsecho has so we can limit access to files areas...

    allfix also has security to allow for sending and receiving per area per system so you might send and receive files in an area to one system, send only to all others, and receive only from one or two others... two flags per
    system per area can easily handle this...

    Fix issue with iniSet* functions and root section

    Bug introduced in commit 0d9111a5: iniSet* functions would write key/values to the end of the list when the root section (NULL) was specified, rather than the beginning of the list.
    The root section always starts at the beginning of the list/file, so I'm not sure why section_start() was doing anything other than returning 0 for the root section. It's possible this now breaks iniSortSections() in some way, so that should be retested with a file with a root section and named sections.
