the original message's body, bypassing MIME::Parser

but no significant uncompatible changes. The 3 major new features
are :
-list configuration edition. At last !!!
-S/MIME encryption and HTTPS authentication
-Shared web space for each list.
New features:
S/MIME : Sympa now can be configured to distribute encrypted messages
(need a email certificate for the list). It also sign welcome message
comming from a list (in order to distribute the list certificate).
HTTPS authentication can be used with user certificate. In this case
no login form is needed at all.
"edit_list" action in WWSympa : a important change in internal
data structure for list configuration. You must check that sympa.sympa
has write access on config files.
Shared web features set. This developpement from Sophie Le Floch
sophie.le-floch AT cru.fr is intended for new groupware features
in WWSympa.
**** New design for web navigation. All web templates are changed. 3.0a
**** include ONLY us web templates. Of course 3.0 release will contain
previous french and spanish translation. Translators are invited to take
contact with us.
New parameters in "include_ldap_query" paragraph :
o attrs <mail_attribute> (default 'mail') attribute
containing the email address(es)
o select <first | all> (default 'first') if the query
returns multiple values, do we keep the first one or all of them
Add a protection at the entrance of archives. If the user is
not identified, he/she has to click a button to access archives.
New parameter "visibility" for a topic in topics.conf
It refers to "topics_visibility" scenario
Check Message-IDs to avoid loops.
"default_user_options" now applied to included users.
Importing lists to 'database' mode can be performed using
WWSympa. All you have to do is edit the list config (in WWSympa)
and change the user_data_source from 'file' to 'database'.
Changes :
**** [] are automatically added to the custom subject
**** Daemons(sympa.pl, archived.pl, bounced.pl) now set their UID themselves.
**** You can thereby run them with root privileges (a script is provided
**** in script/ directory for starting/stoping Sympa)
No more list_parameter.conf : comments are in wws_template files
titles are in NLS
"make install" will install sample sympa.conf and wwsympa.conf
if none exist
Added "INITDIR" var in Makefile, to install SYSV init scripts
No more translations in wwsympa.fcgi and wws-lib.pl

You may use Sympa with Oracle databases.
Major differences between Oracle and MySQL :
- connection string uses a sid instead of a dbname
- $dbh->tables() function doesn't work, a SELECT is performed
instead
- no oracle equivalent for UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), a tricky formula
is used instead
- no "AS" in SELECT
- there are case problems with table names
- "date" is a keyword ; it needs to be quoted

New chapter about WWSympa in documentation
Sympa supports templates for global service messages ("helpfile",
"lists") as well as list service messages ("welcome", "bye", "removed",
"reminder","invite"). These files have a ".tpl" extension. Global ones
are located in ~sympa/etc/templates/, list specific in ~sympa/expl/<list>/
directory. Compatibility with old-style files (in ~sympa/expl/)
is maintained.
Templates begining with a From: line are considered as full
messages, no header is added (except To:).
INFO now includes content of list's "info" file.
REVIEW only shows subscribers' list, not configuration
informations.
List::get_subscriber now returns bounce info.
Bounces info are now stored in sympa database
Bug fixes :

Scenari for send parameter are available ! Check send.* in the
scenari directory. The send scenari is paticular because you can
check headers in rules : exemple.
match ([header->Content-Type],/multipart/) smtp -> editorkey
(semantic is multipart messages must be approved by editor)
The list parameter "visibility" is performed by scenari. The goal
is to provide defferent lists of lists depending of the context
(mainly depending on the sender). The following exemple show how
to use visibility scenario in order to provide intranet lists
visibility
match ([sender],/cru\.fr/) smtp -> do_it
New "profile" parameter in owner paragraph.
New spool for storing bounces, defined by "queuebounce" parameter.

edit message, only listmaster can.
Regexp in "search" are made simple : only "*" wild character
is supported.
main.tpl has been split, each action has .tpl file
this should make internationalization easier

Documention refers to Perl 5.004_03 as a prerequisite
[ Laurent Ghys <Laurent.Ghys AT ircam.fr> ]
Sort NLS messages (260 & 261) within delset 6.
Replacement of some spaces with tabs in NLS between msg number
and msg (Pb under HPUX reported by Olivier LACROIX
<Olivier.Lacroix AT ciril.fr>).
1.4.1
Changes :
Now accept message without @ in sender address
Bug corrections :
Your e-mail address has been removed from list %s.
1.4.0 Janary 1999
Changes :
Previous parameter 'tri' in sympa.conf is now renamed to 'sort'
Compatibility with previous 'tri' is assured.
The doc/ makefile use LANG variable to prepare french or
english documentation. Use make LANG=fr or make LANG=gb or edit
makefile to chose your langage.
The nls/ directory include us.msg and fr.msg (us.msg was proposed
by Stephane Alnet).
New feature :
-for each list config file, you can chose to notify
owner for each subscription and/or unsubscribtion
using parameters :
subscribtion [open|auth],notify
unsubscribe [open|auth],notify
- Allow option "reception nomail" in owner and editor definition.
usefull to define multiple address of one privilegied person.
- Add sympa version number at the end of command «HELP» result.
- Allow file bienvenue.mime insteed of bienvenue. In this case
bienvenue.mime is sent as is so you can use complexe mime structure
in the welcome message.
- use URL mailto: in auth subscrition request (subscrition auth)
- Sympa use his config to forward mails to owners and editor
so you can use the following aliases in your sendmail
(no nedd to update alias when changing owner addresse) :
toto-request: "| ~sympa/expl/mqueue 1 toto-request"
toto-editor: "| ~sympa/expl/mqueue 1 toto-editor"
- Star convention to specify all lists in user's commands
-SIGnoff *
-SET * <mail|nomail|digest|conceal|noconceal>
- priority z and Z are null priority, message stay
in queue forever. Usefull to hangup a list.
Bug correction :
-when unsubscribe is auth don't ask authentification
if the sender is not subscriber at all.
1.3.4-1 29 décembre 1998
Correction dans la numérotation des messages de fr.msg.
1.3.4 22 décembre 1998
Les "digest" sont au format MIME, il faut maintenant installer
le module CPAN MIME-Base64 en plus des autres modules déjà.
Quelques petits défauts de corrigés.
1.3.3 10 décembre 1998
Nouvelle option log_socket_type dans sympa.conf pour choisir la
journalisation via UDP ou un socket Unix.
La limite "anti-commandes" passe de 20 lignes à 15 lignes dans le
corps du message (c'était vraiment pénible).
On peut maintenant utiliser DESTDIR. Exemple :
make install DESTDIR=/mnt
Le nom DESTDIR est préfixé au répertoire DIR du fichier Makefile
(proposition de Raphaël Hertzog).
Nouvelle fonction : on peut dorénavant mettre des commandes dans
le fichier sympa.conf. Exemple :
host `cat /etc/hostname`
(proposition de Raphaël Hertzog).
1.3.2 18 septembre 1998
Avec certaines versions de l'interpéteur Perl, "smtp.pm::reaper"
ne se comportait pas correctement.
IMPORTANT : changement des conditions d'utilisation, de modification
et de diffusion de Sympa (grosso-modo on adopte GPL) -- ceci afin de
permette création et la diffusion d'un module Debian sympa.deb.
1.3.1-2 6 juillet 1998
Correction d'une erreur dans sympa.pl rejettant les messages et
commandes provenant des domaines contenant les chaines "listeserv" ou
"sympa" (par exemple sympatico.ca).
Correction d'un défaut mineur dans Commands.pm.
1.3.1 1 juillet 1998
Création automatique du répertoire "archives" d'une liste, si besoin
est.
Correction des messages associés à la commande EXPIRE.
Restructuration du chapitre 7 (Commands.pm) du catalogue français.
Ajout d'entête MIME dans les notifications de rejet (contribution
d'Olivier.Lacroix AT ciril.fr).
Journalisation des boucles
Mise à jour de la détection des commandes dans les messages.
1.3.0 11 juin 1998 Contributions du CRU (Fabien Marquois)
Nouveautés dans les commandes WHICH, expiration des abonnements,
diffusion des messages pour les listes modérées, état des messages en
attente.
Nouvelles options de configuration : authentification des signatures de
messages, valeurs privatekey, publickey et privateorpublickey pour le
paramètre "send" ; paramètres clean_delay_queueauth et queueauth dans
sympa.conf ; paramètre clean_delay_queue dans sympa.conf ; paramètre
queueexpire dans sympa.conf ; paramètre clean_delay_queuemod dans
sympa.conf ; paramètre sleep dans sympa.conf.
Corrections : la date d'abonnement ou de dernière confirmation
d'abonnement est mise à jour lorsque celui-ci envoie un mail dans
la liste, uniformisation des logs de Sympa, correction de la
vérification du champ x-loop des messages modérés, mise à jour de la
documentation, utilisation du cookie dans la génération des clés de
modération.
1.2.2 20 mai 1998 Contributions du CRU (Fabien Marquois)
Corrections de défauts et nouvelles fonctions : plusieurs
"custom-header", traiter les réponses préfixées par ">",
présentation en MIME des messages à modérer, accents supprimés
des journaux (syslog ne sait pas faire), gestion des accents dans
certaines commandes, journalisation de la durée des commandes.
Makefile pour générer et installer le catalogue de Sympa.
1.2.1 15 mai 1998 Contributions du CRU (Fabien Marquois)
Corrections de défauts de la 1.2.0 : review, génération des clés de
modération.
1.2.0 13 mai 1998 Contributions du CRU (Fabien Marquois)
Refonte de la documentation : fonctions non encore documentées,
fichiers de configuration, notes pour certains Unix.
Nouvelles fonctions : digest, modérator avec editorkey et
editorkeyonly, commentaires dans les fichiers de configuration,
liste rouge (conceal, noconceal), nomail, custom-header, tri par
priorité selon le domaine destination.
Corrections : problème d'allocation mémoire, mot-clé msgcat pris en
compte, corrections pour "confirm", fonction stats plus précise,
problèmes avec les guillements dans le catalogue des messages.
0.011 2 février 1998
Légers changements dans Makefile (création du répertoire bin qui
n'était pas faite au bon endroit).
Les commandes add/del ne fonctionnaient pas comme prévu dans certains
cas à cause d'une erreur de programmation.
Ajout systématique des entêtes MIME du catalogue des messages (si elles
sont définies).
0.010 27 janvier 1998
Modifications dans le fichier fr.msg -> il faut refaire le catalogue
avec "gencat".
Les commandes add/del permettent l'usage de l'authentifieur MD5. Pour
cela il faut que le propriétaire de la liste ait "auth md5" dans le
fichier de configuration.
Une erreur dans Archive.pm mettait des dates fantaisistes dans la date
de création d'une archive.
On journalise la durée de l'envoi des messages ainsi que le nombre de
sessions SMTP.
Gestion des entêtes MIME (à définir à la fin de fr.msg).
0.009 10 décembre 1997
Correction d'une erreur dans les expressions régulières de gestion des
commandes : cela pouvait faire échouer l'usage de l'authentifieur dans
certains cas très rares.
Ajout de l'entête X-Loop et traitement visant à prevenir les boucles.
Erreur dans le total du nombre d'abonnés : l'ajout d'un utilisateur
n'était pas comptabilisé.
Reply List ne fonctionnait pas dans certains cas en raison d'une faute
de programmation.
0.008 15 novembre 1997
Corrigé quelques bugs et rajout de l'option maxsmtp dans sympa.conf.
0.007 10 novembre 1997
La modération était en avance sur son temps : on revient à la (mauvaise)
vieille méthode (AtArticle to modérate).
Corrections mineures dans les autres modules.
Le fichier fr.msg a été corrigé et étendu.
0.006 15 septembre 1997
Beaucoup de changements dans de nombreux modules, notamment un
début d'écriture en objet pour certains d'entre eux. Quelques
corrections de défauts. A se demander si on ne devrait pas
appeler cela une béta de la version 2 de Sympa.
0.005 8 juillet 1997
version.pl -> Version.pm log.pl -> Log.pm
La commande `get' fonctionne enfin.
Certaines fonctions passent du module `tools' vers `list' où elles
sont mieux à leur place.
Bug dans list.pl lorsque le fichier des abonnés n'existe pas il faut
refuser de charger la liste [signalé par Olivier Lacroix].
La substitution remplace également le chemin vers le fichier de
configuration définit dans le Makefile. Cela fonctionnait déjà
pour le programme queue, mais par pour sympa.pl [O. Lacroix].
0.004 17 juin 1997
La documentation évolue un peu.
La commande reconfirm envoie un message aux abonnés qui n'ont pas
confirmé leur abonnement à la liste depuis le délais indiqué en
paramètre. Le troisième argument est le nombre de semaines de
grâce (donné à titre indicatif). Ex : reconfirm tulp-fr 2 4.
La commande purge permet de virer les abonnés qui n'ont pas
renouvellé leur abonnement depuis le nombre de mois indiqué
en argument. Ex : purge tulp-fr 2.
L'authentification est maintenant supportée pour les commandes
sub et sig : il faut mettre le drapeau `auth' dans le champ
subscription du fichier de configuration (et non pas md5).
Le paquettage MD5 (dans CPAN) n'est plus facultatif : vous devez
l'installer pour utiliser Sympa.
Correction de quelques bugs dans la gestion des entêtes
[A. Thivillon].
0.003 13 juin 1997
*** ATTENTION - IMPORTANT ***
Pour utiliser Sympa vous devez installer le paquettage DB de
Berkeley dans une version supportée par Perl (use DB_File),
et il vous faut aussi installer MailTools (dans CPAN).
Correction de 2 petits bugs de programmation [Alain Thivillon].
Changement de la chaine de reconnaisance what(1) (bug signale
par O. Robert).
Utilisation de my a la place de local, usage de my devant $id (pour
use strict) [O. Robert].
La fonction "index" a été rajoutée et fonctionne.
Le tri des abonnés se fait maintenant par un arbre binaire en
utilisant le module DB_File. C'est beaucoup plus rapide pour
les grandes listes.
Le module rfc822.pl n'est plus nécessaire, il a été supprimé de
la distribution. Le programme utilise maintenant Mail::Address
(disponible dans CPAN).
0.002 19 mai 1997
Ajout du nombre d'abonnés à la liste en dernière ligne de la
commande Review.
0.001 1er avril 1997
Première version de tests diffusée à un large public.
