  • A user's data is now saved automatically every minute while being logged
    in. This means that if a user is logged in but idle and the node is
    closed/crashes they will not need to e.g. re-read texts that were read
    during the terminated login.

  • NiKom now handles a user being logged in one more than one node. The
    state of the user is being shared between the nodes. As part of this the
    following had to change:

    • The ARexx function SendNodeMessage() has been deprecated since messages
      are not sent to nodes, they are sent to users. Instead a new function
      SendUserMessage() has been introduced.
  • NiKom now has support for colors through style sheets. There is a new
    config file StyleSheets.cfg that must be present in NiKom:DatoCfg.
    Also the new command "CHANGE STYLESHEET" should be added to Commands.cfg.

  • The commands Mark Text and Display Marked have been revamped to store
    the marked texts in the user's directory meaning that they will survive
    between logins. Also two new commands have been introduced. Unrad Marked
    that will make all the marked texts unread and Purge Marked that will
    clear the list of marked texts.
    These commands are implemented in ARexx so the files ExtKom502.nik,
    ExtKom503.nik, ExtKom510.nik and ExtKom515.nik need to be updated. Also
    the corresponding man files have been updated. The new commands (#510 and
    #515) must be installed in Commands.cfg.
