MailList versions
-----------------
0.01 unreleased. WIMP-compliant template. Only WIMP messages and
Wimp_Poll reason-codes are supported.
0.02 unreleased. Interface with NewsBase added.
0.03 unreleased. Initialisation routines added. Sending and receiving
mail.
0.04 unreleased. Processing of basic requests. Mailing-list
initialisation routines.
0.05 unreleased. Fixed bug which caused NewsBase to crash. Added
mail-server support (SEND request).
0.06 released for small group of people only for testing and debugging
purposes. Most requests are implemented.
0.07 released: 04-Dec-1994
* Bug removed: Some messages where carrying an extra [01] at the end
of the message. This broke up mail when such messages where put in
a digest.
* Bug removed: When in BATCH mode. MailList would terminate if it
had to wait for the messages from NewsBase.
* Bug removed: Sometimes, in news-articles, the Path: is longer than
255 characters. This caused MailList to include the entire header
in the digest. This doesn't look very pretty. And the
article-header in the digest would remain empty.
* Optimized message sent to new subscriber. This kind of implements
ONEWAY|TWOWAY partly.
NEWSFEED is ONEWAY by default. MAILFEED is TWOWAY by default,
ONEWAY is not implemented for MAILFEED.
* List-creation reports were sent to the list and to
'root@cray-3.xs4all.nl'. Changed this to 'root@<host>'
* Added request: LISTS and HOSTS
* Changed handling of mailing-lists. 'sendmail' and 'smail' only
allow a small number of recipients. Several copies of outgoing
messages will be created now. MailList remains transport
"ignorant".
* Digest handling slightly improved.
* Changed Host-registration (REGISTER|UNREGISTER): "CyberTalk".
0.08 released: 01-Jan-1995
* Minor changes in documentation ofcourse.
* Minor changes in digest-processing
* Clicking on the iconbar icon brings the status window to the top
of the window-stack.
* Cleaned up the status-messages in the status window.
* Signatures are nolonger removed when the mailing-list is NODIGEST.
* Cleaned up file-handling. This was a real mess. Opening and
closing of files is now done the "NewsBase-way", courtesy of
Graham Allen.
* Bug fixed: on very rare occasions expiry of the Email.maillist
group would generate an error because the queue-number was changed
before the job could finish.
* Change: It was possible to retrieve files from from outside the
mailserver directory by the use of the '^'-field. This is nolonger
possible.
* Added QUOTA request.
0.09 released: 27-Jan-1995
* Digest-entries are now following C. Lewis' "FAQ: A Suggested
Minimal Digest Format". I.e. articles are seperated by a string of
30 hyphens and a blank line. The Subject: header is the first in
the article header. Other relevant headers follow.
* I noticed a lot of people use GET instead of SEND. I have added
a GET request and defined it to do the same as the SEND request.
* Increased the allocated WimpSlot from 64kB to 96kB.
* Removed case-sensitive matching of RFC-822 addresses.
* Added the UPGRADE request.
* Internal Errors were given a -ve number. RiscOS 3.5 doesn't
approve of this as this flags Machine Exceptions. So errornumbers
reported to the OS are now +ve.
* Small change in subject of files sent out by the MailServer. Only
the leafname was put in the subject. Changed this to the name as
it appears in the index.
* Updated most of the documentation. PLEASE read it!
* The Sender: and Errors-To: headers are added to all outgoing mail.
* Text displayed in the Status window is limited to 38 characters.
0.10 released: 12-Feb-1995
* Removed the OSCLI("Dir... line from several UUcoding routines.
This includes the UPGRADE routine. Hopefully it still works.
* Textfiles are no-longer sent out UUencoded by the MailServer.
* Bug fixed: Every new version the QUOTA setting would be re-set to
-1. The QUOTA-setting now survives across version-changes. After
installing v0.10 you should re-set the QUOTA to the original
value.
* The username of the root-account of your host can now be defined
to something else than 'root'. Change the variable 'RootAlias:' in
the Messages file to your prefered username.
* Added support for moderated lists (APPROVE request and DEFINE
<list> MODERATOR|NOMODERATOR request)
* Increased WimpSlot to 160kB to allow for future enhancements.
* Implemented a simple Scheduler.
* Bug fixed: If the Robot was not registered, sending it a HOSTS
request would make it fall over.
* Bug fixed: When sending a digest the Reply-To: header would
contain the address of the poster of the last article in the
digest.
* The robot now responds correctly to the From: and Reply-To:
headers (I hope:-) )
* Bug fixed: UPDATE HOSTS; when a host is registered more than once
it would appear in the Hosts file more than once too.
* Updated documentation with regard to installation procedure.
0.10a released: UPGRADE 23-Feb-1995
* Reinstated rejecting mail from itself. Was left disabled after
testing v0.10.
* Use of SYS "OS_CLI" changed to SYS "Wimp_StartTask"
* Temporarily fixed a problem with NewsBase v0.53.
0.11 released: 08-Apr-95
* Requires NewsBase 0.54
* It is nolonger possible to subscribe several times to the same
list.
* MailList will generate an error-report if you try to SIGNOFF from
a list to which you are not subscribed.
* MailList accepts listnames that are longer than the Filing System
would accept. Names are truncated automagically to the length as
used by the Filing System. *** This only works if the higher level
programs (NewsBase and the transport (UUCP or KA9Q)) accept this
too and if your have *Configure Truncate On
[FCO #001].
The solution in the v0.11 release is not the same as the temporary
solution proposed in FCO #001.
* Bug fixed: case-sensitivity removed from SIGNOFF/REMOVE request.
[FCO #002]
* Bug fixed: case-sensitivity removed from SIGNON/ADD request.
* The LISTS request now returns "long listnames" and a short
description of the list. To use this feature you need to set the
RL Name of the mailing-list using !TTFN. [More information:
Docs.MailingLst item 4. & 5.]
* The UPDATE HOSTS request checks the date/time of the UPDATE
request. This is to prevent that the Hosts file reflects
out-of-date information due to mail arriving in a different order
than it was sent.
* Bug fixed: MailList would generate an empty first line in the
SignedOn file of a list.
* MOTD (Message Of The Day) and MF1D (Message For 1 Day) support added. See docs for more info.
0.11b released: UPGRADE 10-Apr-95
* Temporarily removed UPDATE request because of a bug in the UPDATE
code.
0.11c released: UPGRADE 11-Apr-95
* Removed the UPDATE bug
* Bug: Some requests could crash MailList when the first specifier
was an invalid filename.
v0.12 released: 29-Apr-95
* Fixed bug in UNREGISTER procedure. UNREGISTER would not remove the
host from the list.
* This version will move configurable options into the Config file
in !NewsDir.MailList. The Messages file will be updated in v0.14.
* Removed the QUOTA and BATCH|NOBATCH requests
* Implemented the SET request:
SET <keyword> [<value>]
Valid <keyword>s are:
BATCH; NOBATCH; FOLDING; NOFOLDING; ROOT <alias>;
DigestSize <kB>; DigestAge <days>; MaxBcc <max>;
FSexclude <string>; QUOTA <kB>
See docs for more info
* OS_FSControl could fail in certain cases when using LongFiles.
This is now fixed.
* Precedence: junk changed back to Precedence: bulk
* Added the SET DELETE|NODELETE request. This lets you decide
whether MailList should delete the duplicates it makes of each
message sent to a list after distributing it.
