- 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.
