gnarwl-3.6-1mdv2010.2.x86_64.rpm

###############
# What's new? #
###############

You only need to read this file, if upgrading from a v2.x release. 

Like version 2.0, version 3.0 is a major rewrite of the code. Again only a
few more features were planned, but it turned out, that the codebase was
still quite cumbersome and in large parts overly complex as well as 
ineffecient. Especially the mailparser proved to be a real nightmare here,
which finally led to a nearly complete redesign of the according routines.


- Several bugfixes

- Improved documentation

- Many optimizations
  
- More modularized code

- Improved logging

- Added GNU autoconf configure script

- Added RPM specfile

- Renamed (nearly) any config directive

- Modernized Makefiles

- Gnarwl will now complain about misspelled config directives

- Replaced billiton.schema with ISPEnv.schema

- Outgoing mails are now send "single file", instead of "all at once"

- Restructured a good deal of the code

- Support for shared addresses (queryfilter matching more then one entry)

- Blockfile reading/writing may now be completly surpressed

- Blockfile file permission may now be set in configfile

- A standard footer may now be forced on outgoing mail, as well a header

- Which headers may contain receiving addresses is now configureable

- Sending/Receiving addresses may now be passed via commandline

- Outputformat of damnit now freely configureable

- LDAP protocol version selectable

- Support for characterset conversion

# Upgrading #
#############

- Backward compatibility
Gnarwl v3 maintains data backward compatibility to earlier versions, with
one exception: The "\n" macro does no longer exist, it was redundant anyway.

Also note, that the former behaviour of gnarwl was to ignore searches,
matching more than one LDAP entry. This limitation finally dropped. 

- Building/Installing
It is no longer required to edit a Makefile. Configuring is now done
convienently using the configure script. Please note, that the Makefile no
longer contains the "uninstall" target. So if you need this functionality,
you should build the program as RPM package.

- Configuration
Every configuration directive was renamed, while moving from v2 to v3. The 
reason for this is, that before, I tried to group config directives by giving
them prefixes. This however made the keywords both long and less rememberable. 
So this concept was finally dropped.

- A word on LDAP schema
Former versions of gnarwl shipped with a schema file called "billiton.schema".
Unfortunatly, that file proved to be be both, poorly designed and broken in a 
number of ways, that would severly limit it's useability. These facts made a
complete redesign unavoidable, and the continueing use of this file
disadviseable.

"ISPEnv.schema", which is now included with gnarwl, derived from the broken
"billiton.schema", by redefining most attributes and objectclasses. 
Unfortunatly, this too proves to be a dilemma, as the openldap documentation
is rather sketchy on whether or not changing declarations may corrupt the 
data in the database.

So, if you have been using "billiton.schema", I recommend the following
upgrade procedure (just to be on the safe side):

1. Export your entire database to LDIF
2. Stop the LDAP server
3. Delete the binary files storing the database on disk
4. Replace "billiton.schema" with ISPEnv.schema
5. Start the LDAP server and re-import the LDIF snapshot
