Hi de ZP4KFX

I propose to include into the standard the following tag for the header:

<ENCODING:5>UTF-8

ENCODING can be absent or can be <ENCODING:10>ISO-8859-1

This is already implemented in my DBLog...see http://www.qsl.net/zp4kfx/Linux

http://www.qsl.net/zp4kfx/Linux/TestUTF8.html

http://www.qsl.net/zp4kfx/Linux/DBLog/Shot-QSO%20List-utf8-%20test.png

DBLog works on Linux and stores data's on PosgreSQL, both of which are UTF-8 compliant.

DBLog can export both in ISO-8859-1 or in UTF-8.

Importing, if it finds into the header <ENCODING:5>UTF-8 then does not do any coversion.
If it finds <ENCODING:10>ISO-8859-1 or no ENCODING tag, then converts into UTF-8.

The difference is mainly for the accented vowels (from 128 to 256) that come mainly by N1MM or Logger32 ADIF files.

Also other loggers could follow this method or be aware of the ENCODING tag to avoid errors.

Is this also compatible with CQRlog as well?
(Linux, MS, and maybe Apple, not sure.)

I don't know....

If a logger receives an UTF-8 adif file and does not how to handle it will bounce a lot of errors...

If a logger receives an ISO-8859-1 adif file and ignores the tag all will be OK .

At present only DBLog knows what to do of the ENCODING tag.

New FBB 7.04r2 release

In reply to Pino Zollo

Hi FBB sysops and users,

I published a modified version of FBB BBS 7.04r2 with
small changes to reduce both debug verbose output /var/log/fbb.log (optional) and more importantly, CPU load.
Observed xfbbd CPU load was 7-14%, sometime peeking
even higher.
It is now less than 1%.
This patch has been backported to versions 7.04o2 and 7.04p2

Here are two important recommandations : boot kernel in
single processor mode (online grub command : nosmp) On 64 bit systems, add N 1 parameter in forward script to preclude forward compression.

Read more here : http://rose.fpac.free.fr/MINI-HOWTO/

FBB source package may be downloaded from :

http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/BBS-f6fbb/xd704r2-src.bz2

Version 7.04 is still under debugging phase, with latest intermediary versions 7.04s.nn

73 de Bernard, f6bvp
