1.2
Petidomo v4
===========
2000-12-01 Peter Simons <simons@computer.org>
* [...TO BE FILLED IN BY PETI...]
2000-12-01 Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>
* Included various cleanups and adjustments derived from the original
OSSP hacks for Petidomo 2.2
* Added Perl scripts petidomo-approve and petidomo-kickout which are
useful to reduce the amount of effort required in daily mailing lists
administration.
2000-12-01 Peter Simons <simons@computer.org>
* The base of this work off is again the latest free
version of Petidomo: 2.2, as released under GPLv2 on
http://www.petidomo.com/download/OpenPetidomo/source/ by
CyberSolutions GmbH.
Petidomo v3
===========
* There are no ChangeLog entries available for Petidomo v3, but that
doesn't matter because Petidomo v4 is based on the last version of
Petidomo v2. Nevertheless the non-free Petidomo v3 provided mainly an
optional user-interface and the ability to directly deliver mails in
parallel via SMTP.
Petidomo v2
===========
1999-06-01 Peter Simons <simons@petidomo.com>
* Re-released under GNU GPL.
1998-08-20 Peter Simons <simons@petidomo.com>
* Released as Petidomo 2.2.
* Fixed a few problems in the binary install script.
* Added rfc2369.sh posting filter to the distribution.
1998-08-17 Peter Simons <simons@petidomo.com>
* Released as Petidomo 2.2 beta 2.
* You can create binary distributions simply by executing "make
build-bin-dist". All users are encouraged to share binaries for
platforms we can not support.
* Petidomo compiles now on SunOS 4.x.
* Added a -real- RFC 822 parser. This will fix all problems with
the more obscure forms of e-mail syntax.
* Added ShowStatistics (bool) keyword to the master config file.
(Only in the commercial version.) This switch allows the
administrator to switch the signature off, listserv appends when
replying a request. The switch is also supported in the CGI
configuration manager.
* Added nice run time statistics to be appended as signature every
time listserv processes an incoming mail.
* Fixed a security hole in the CGI configuration manager, that
could be abused to delete arbitrary mailing lists on a server.
* Added a stand-alone implementation of the regular expression
library which will be used in favor of the one provided in the OS,
if --with-my-regex is specified at configure. This is necessary on
some Solaris versions.
1998-01-27 Peter Simons <simons@petidomo.com>
* Released as Petidomo 2.1, finally. (Phew!)
* Documented that "sendmail -bv" can be used to verify addresses,
in the "misc" chapter of the user manual.
* Added pgp-(encrypt|decrypt).sh scripts to the distribution and
documented their usage in the manual. With them, Petidomo is able
to handle fully encrypted mailing lists.
* Fixed a problem in the code that called sendmail for the
delivery that would cause the exec() call to fail for large lists
(>5000 addresses).
* Petidomo will no longer accept list named that have special
characters of the file system in them, like '/' as this is a
security risk.
* Both hermes and listserv will now set both their real- and
effective user-id to "petidomo" at startup, to avoid permission
problems on systems that restore the real user-id when calling
external problems with exec().
* etc/COPYRIGHT: Added copyright license, which is needed for the
upcoming release of the sources.
* Makefile: Added build-bin-dist target, which can be used to
automatically compile a binary release archive.
* Added --enable-dynamic-link option to configure script, to let
the user choose to link static binaries conveniently.
1998-01-04 Peter Simons <simons@petidomo.com>
* Released as 2.1 beta 5
* Re-wrote the parser for the access control language completely.
The new version uses lex/yacc for parsong and is way more robust
and faster. It will also issue more detailed syntax errors, in
case the acl file is incorrect. The new code also fixed a couple
of weird problems on some platforms.
1997-12-21 Peter Simons <simons@petidomo.com>
* Released as 2.1 beta 4
* When DEBUG is defined at compile time, loads of debugging output
is added to all programs. Debugging can be activated with the -d
switch on the command line. The syntax is "-d module,level", with
level being an integer from 1 to 9, and module being one of the
named as defined in include/debug.h in the sources.
* Hermes will now preserve the "References:" field when posting an
article.
* Fixed a bug in the filter code that could result in hermes
hanging forever in a read() loop.
* Quite a few internal changes that are probably not worth being
listed here.
1997-06-30 Peter Simons <simons@petidomo.com>
* Released as Petidomo 2.0.
Petidomo v1
===========
* There are no ChangeLog entries known for Petidomo v1.
