[Dxspider-support] dx command actions + announce problems + links + who commands

[Dirk Koopman]

Normal service is a bit tardy as I had a late night rescuing my other 
half from a broken down car and did not get to bed until 3am.

I have looked a number of versions from 536 to 561. And I remain confused.

Firstly 536 stores the spot and also sends it back to a telnet console:

dx 3505 g1brn test 4
DX de G1TLH:      3505.0  G1BRN        test 4                         1248Z

On 561 the same is true

dx 7013 g1brn test 5
DX de G1TLH:      7013.0  G1BRN        test 5                         1252Z
G1TLH de GB7TLH 31-Jan-2025 1252Z dxspider >

These spots have also been sent out to other nodes and should be 
searchable with a sh/dx 2 g1brn.

The line that sent the spot back to the user in user format had been 
removed and has now been put back again, but will be moved slightly in 
the next release (soon today). But it clearly was a bodge that was not 
necessary in (waves hand randomly) earlier versions. This will be fixed 
after this weekend.

As for announcements - as well a few other things - this was a 
consequence of me not thinking through (mainly because it seemed too 
difficult to test) the defences I added  to prevent nodes that had not 
fully initialised (e.g. the ungodly attempting fraud  but also CC 
Cluster instances [nominally godly]) passing traffic. This is now fixed.

I cannot reproduce errors viz: CCCluster connection on the 'links' command:

296               Y    207.216.236.158

I have added an extra field to the 'who' command to indicate the 'state' 
of that connection.

   Callsign Type      State    Started           Name     Ave RTT Link

    VE7CC-1 NODE CCCL normal   31-Jan-2025 1353Z Node        0.16 
207.216.236.158

This version is now available from git.

You will need to do a restart.
