New encoder and decoder software which changes the character
coding slightly.
http://abelian.org/ebnaut/
Windows sender is now V0.4, Windows decoder is V0.5, and the
Linux software is at V0.7
Previously the encoding allowed '<' and '>' characters. These
have been replaced with '!' and '&' respectively. As far as I
know this change doesn't break any historical messages.
Encoders and decoders are compatible across the change except
that <> will be exchanged with !&.
As Stefan discovered recently, & and ! are probably more useful
than the angle brackets.
The Windows encoder no longer allows you to enter characters that
wont encode. This caused a problem recently when attempting
to send 20 chars 'STEFAN&[email protected]!' it actually transmitted
18 chars '[email protected]'.
