-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

mailfilter 0.2.4  (Thu Oct 11 18:32:48 GMT 2001) [stable version]

  - Added option to define a time span in seconds that Mailfilter waits
    for a server response, after a command was issued, keyword TIMEOUT

  - Added option to define maximum line lengths of header fields,
    keyword MAXLENGTH

    Alex A. Puchow)


mailfilter 0.2.3  (Wed Aug 15 17:13:17 CEST 2001) [stable version]

  - Updated and extended the FAQ and man pages

  - Bug fix: No more endless loops in the normalisation process if
    subject line ends with a whole bunch of white-space characters,
    ie more than the usual two <CR><LF>

  - Bug fix: Normalisation handles multiple spaces/blanks correctly
    now

  - Bug fix: field-names may now start in lower case letters, ie
    parsing should be fully RFC822 compliant

  - Bug fix: the closing tags for e-mail headers are not parsed and
    processed anymore

  - Translations are now part of the RPM packages

  - Message size of deleted messages (MAXSIZE) appears in logs

  
mailfilter 0.2.2  (Wed Jul 18 11:51:59 CEST 2001) [stable version]

  - Changed source code, so Mailfilter compiles with the new GCC 3.0.x
    (mainly a matter of missing namespace declarations)

  - Line numbers of the rcfile show up in case of a configuration error
    (courtesy Johannes Bauer)


mailfilter 0.2.1  (Mon Jul  9 18:56:21 CEST 2001) [stable version]

  - Fixed a bug that caused normalisation to fail when message tags
    consisted of only capital letters

  - The different verbose levels are more consistent and useful now

  - Portuguese translations (courtesy Frederic Meunier)

  - New example rcfiles to make installation easier


mailfilter 0.2.0  (Thu May 31 18:16:41 CEST 2001) [stable version]
  
  - Updated man pages

  - Added new keyword to delete duplicates of messages: DEL_DUPLICATES

  - Passwords don't show up in log files anymore if verbosity level is
    set sufficiently high

  
mailfilter 0.1.3  (Sun May  6 10:59:36 CEST 2001) [development version]

  - Multi-line header fields like "To:", "Cc:", etc. are now handled correctly
    (especially in regard of the negative spam filters). That is, new lines are
    transformed into white-spaces.

  - Minor documentation updates


mailfilter 0.1.2  (Wed Apr 25 17:24:11 CEST 2001) [development version]

  - Added internationalisation (so far for 'de', 'fr')

  - Added 'negative' DENY filters, e.g. DENY<>^To:.*my@address.com


mailfilter 0.1.1  (Sat Jan 27 09:26:47 GMT+1 2001) [stable version]

  - New man pages: mailfilter(1), mailfilterrc(5), mailfilterex(5)

  - A 'normalised' subject string is now only checked if the message has
    passed all ordinary filters first (That's much more efficient.)

  - Replaced keyword ICASE with REG_CASE - less confusing that way (A list
    of deprecated keywords can be found in the mailfilterrc(5) man page.)

  - New keywords: TEST, SHOW_HEADER. See mailfilterrc(5) and mailfilterex(5)
    for details.

  - Small bug fixes that do not directly affect functionality


mailfilter 0.1.0  (Sat Jan 20 10:01:44 GMT+1 2001)

  - Added support for extended Regular Expressions

  - Added 'normalisation' of subject strings for more effective filtering

  - Improved memory management: e-mails are being filtered on the fly now

  - All Regular Expressions of Mailfilter are only compiled once now,
    on program startup; much faster!

  - New keywords for more efficient filtering:
    DENY_CASE, DENY_NOCASE, ALLOW, MAXSIZE_DENY, MAXSIZE_ALLOW
    (Consult the README.mailfilterrc file for further information!)

  - Added multi-level verbose mode (and replaced keyword MODE with VERBOSE)

  - Added check for malformed keywords in .mailfilterrc

  - Changes to the documentation; added platform specific installation
    instructions (Windows and Slackware Linux)

  - Moved some of the READMEs and the FAQ to the doc/ directory

  - Small bug fixes that do not directly affect the functionality


mailfilter 0.0.4  (Tue Dec 19 17:11:33 GMT+1 2000)

  A small but nasty bug made Mailfilter crash on certain versions of glibc.
  That's fixed now and also the reason why 0.0.4 was out so quickly after
  0.0.3 has been shipped.
  Mailfilter now allows ',' in the passwords and reports if the password
  that was sent to the server was incorrect.


mailfilter 0.0.3  (Thu Dec 14 16:31:46 GMT+1 2000):

  It doesn't hurt anymore having e-mails that match two or more filters at
  once.
  Added support for anal mail servers such as IMail.
  Various little bug fixes, mainly dealing with internal memory management,
  but also exception and error handling.
  Added a manual page.
  Added the ability to have case insensitive regular expression
  matching in the .mailfilterrc file (courtesy Ivan Vitjuk)
  Added api documentation in various formats


mailfilter 0.0.2  (Fri Nov 24 22:38:11 GMT+1 2000):

  Mailfilter doesn't break anymore when the bandwidth gets low. Nonblocking
  I/O seems to work as well and provides a better performance when checking
  for e-mail headers on the server.

  Various other little bug fixes have found its way in this release:
  The --mailfilterrc switch works now, MAXSIZE can be set to zero and the
  parsing of the e-mail headers got fixed.

  This version also offers better support for other platforms due to automake
  and provides a better help and version info (thanks to Matthew R. MacIntyre
  for implementing this).  Also changed from a shallow to a deep
  package structure.


mailfilter 0.0.1  (Fri Nov 17 16:10:51 GMT+1 2000):

  Mailfilter's initial version has been released. See TODO for more information
  on this (yet) experimental release.
