1.92 Changes

1.91 Changes

  • Fixes Wrong numbers showing up for turing numbers. If no turing numbers are showing up then the member needs to clear their cookies and restart the browser because it is calling an incorrect session ID.


1.90 Changes

  • Because having phpsessions now use mysql the file locking that was relied on before for things no longer exists, So I have made some small changes in a few of the functions to make them work correcly with this new session method. Also now sessions data is only rewrote to mysql if there has been a change other wise nothing is updated. This will provide a speed improvement over even the orginal method thats wrote to files in the /tmo dir.


1.89 Changes

  • PHPSESSION data is now stored in MySQL. This adds a slight boost in security on shared servers, Also now that it no longer uses the /tmp dir you will never have to worry about the occasional problems like permission denied, or no space left, that only your host can fix.


1.86 Changes

  • Some sites did not default to Inbox & Email for all members, This update resets everyone that is at inbox only to both to assure that if your site did not update correcly it is now. However this means all members that selected inbox only will have to select it again.
  • This version will try to automaticly clean up your conf.inc.php file to assure you do not have runner.php problems. If you get a notice that the conf.inc.php file could not be modified you will have to update the conf.inc.php file manually


1.84 Changes

  • POP3 server can now support more then one CC site per server (unlimited domains). New inbox.php template will display pop3 server info when pop3 server is installed and active


1.83 Changes

  • This version fixes remaining known bugs in the new inbox and also include a pop3 server in the utilities directory. To run the pop3server you need md5 and DBI mysql support modules installed for perl and set up inetd, xinetd or tcpserver to run pop3server.pl as nobody on port 1110 or any other port of your choice. Users will set their pop3 email client to point to your server and port 1110 and login with their username@yourdomain and their password. The @yourdomain is added because at somepoint the pop3 server will work with virtual hosts that run more then one CC site on their server. Replace yourdomain with the name of YOUR domain.
  • New templates to allow members the ability to select their inbox setting are available. copy userinfo.php and signup.php from the templates dir to your pages dir.

1.79 Changes

  • This takes care of the last of the bugs created by the new features in the lastest updates. Also there was a security issue created with the faster login method, this is now fixed


1.78 Changes

  • I added some recommend code to help direct the bounces to the right place, I did not notice that it had Return-Receipt in the header that I copied over. That is removed now


1.77 Changes

  • As most people are aware the sendmail process in exim or sendmail is bulky, slow, and uses a lot of system resource s. However thats what cpanel and most other webhost management packages use, so you just can't remove them and put on qmail or postfix and have things work. But now the mass mailer in the CC scripts can access qmail or postfix direcly and send mass emails though them with out using exim. THis will allow the host to install qmail on their server with out it having any affect on cpanel or other software
  • Autoupdate has more varification to make sure the update is a complete success.
  • Fixed bug in site settings that would prevent you from clearing a setting


1.76 Changes

  • Fixes user profile update bug caused by last security update
  • Fixes Start page cookie bug that would affect members in timezones other then the servers
  • Site URLs and Dir settings moved out of conf.inc.php to the settings section of admin
  • A second plug in added for testing, plug in support is getting close to being total completed
  • Multi Server support, run runner.php on a second webserver or even on the same server but through thttpd instead of apache. (requires a second server or thttpd) this will reduce entire server load by many hundreds of times because thttpd is a much faster web server then apache. This configuration can run simultaneously with apache on the same server, and even on shared servers. thttpd can be ran on cpanel servers without conflicting with cpanel
  • Fixed logout bug still remaining in the admin when you loged into your account to test and email link
  • Log in process for members makes one less mysql read per log in check once the member is already logged in, reducing server load


1.75 Changes

  • There was a security hole found in the form processing part of the scripts, I misunderstood the programmers explanation of this yesterday and thought he was referring to a different method that the scripts are protected against. Turns out there is a security problem with the form processing. This update fixes that.


1.74 Changes

  • One of the plugin programmers (Jeremiah Kirkpatrick) discovered a way to exploit the autodeduct function on the redemption manager. This version fixes that. Thanks Jeremiah, for finding that one for me.
  • The email manager will no longer log you out if the session is expired. This will still allow the more secure login for admin while only reverting to the less secure method as before when posting a new email to send.


1.72 Changes

  • Fixed bug that would log you out when viewing a users account
  • Autosurf saves earnings now when no more urls notice comes up
  • Fixed Plugin file stat problem that accured only on one known server but if you had it and did not report it this fixes it


1.71 Changes

  • Reload inboxes that had to be cleared in order to do update 1.70


1.70 Changes

  • Rewrote inbox, There was a site that sends out about 400,000 emails a day and the old way the inbox worked was just putting to much load on their server. This update will have to empty your existing inboxes from your server
  • A lot of people have writen their on code for the CC scripts and alway have to put it back in every time there is an update. This is the first implementation of plugin support. Should have all needed features added for you programmers in the next few releases as you send me your input.
