<UL>
<LI><B>configure</B> now looks for <TT>crypt</TT> in <TT>-lcrypt_d</TT>
and <TT>-lcrypt_i</TT> (for FreeBSD 2.1)
<LI>a bug was fixed in <B>faxq</B> whereby the on-disk job description
file was not
updated to reflect the current in-memory state; this caused
jobs to be left in a ``suspended'' state if <B>faxq</B> was prematurely
terminated
<LI>a bug in <B>faxsetup</B>'s handling of certain prompts was corrected
<LI><B>faxsetup</B> now does some consistency checking of the
<B>etc/hosts.hfaxd</B> file in the spooling area
<LI><B>faxsetup</B> handles SCO systems better
<LI>some code was added to deal with language changes introduced in
the latest ANSI C++ draft specification (and implemented in the
SGI 7.1 compilers)
<LI>extraneous use of the <TT>::</TT> scope operator was removed to
avoid problems with systems that use C preprocessor directives to
define certain antiquated functions (e.g. atoi)
<LI>changes were made to deal with systems where
<TT>tcgetattr</TT> is a #define (e.g. SCO)
<LI>a bug was fixed that caused sendfax to send the <TT>USEECM</TT>
protocol directive with an improper (wrongly typed) argument
<LI>a bug was fixed in the text to PostScript conversion support that
appeared on systems where <TT>char</TT> is a signed quantity
<LI>a bug in <B>faxconfig</B> that caused invalid requests
to be sent to the scheduler was fixed
<LI>the zlib support has been updated to version 1.0.4; this
fixes certain portability problems
<LI>make dependency handling was fixed for certain compilers
<LI>workarounds were made to deal with systems that have certain
C include files that are not setup for use in C++ programs
<LI>a new <TT>-D</TT> option was added to <B>faxcover</B> to set
the <TT>strftime</TT> format string used to generate the
time & date string
<LI>a new <TT>DateFormat</TT> configuration parameter was added to
<B>sendfax</B> to specify a format string to pass to the
cover page program when auto-generating cover pages
<LI>a bug was fixed in <B>hfaxd</B> in the recognition off little-endian
TIFF images
<LI>a bug was fixed in <B>hfaxd</B> that resulted in the <TT>SHUT</TT>
command writing an invalid time to the shutdown file
<LI><B>hfaxd</B> now checks the time value specified in the shutdown
file more carefully
<LI>job parameter alteration was fixed in the old protocol emulation
<LI>a new <TT>CONFIG_MAXGID</TT> configuration parameter was added
to constrain the maximum fax UID assigned to clients
<LI>the maximum fax UID was changed to 60000 for HP and SCO systems;
this fixes a problem where anonymous clients were unable to
access submitted documents
<LI><B>faxgetty</B> was changed to monitor modem status messages
even when <TT>RingsBeforeAnswer</TT> is set to zero
<LI>unprivileged clients may now access files in the <B>log</B>
subdirectory in the spooling area (per-file readability depends
on the setting of
<TT>LogFileMode</TT>); this makes it possible to use
WWW browsers to retrieve session logs through <B>hfaxd</B>
