* Naturally, my decision to announce 1.4 on comp.os.linux.announce
immediately caused the code to manifest its first real bug --
a core dump when the "From:" header is spelled "from:" (all lower

* Update and expansion of NOTES.

* The --all and --flush flag validity checks move to driver.c.

-
* The great option massacre. Remove --stdout, --limit, --local, --mda.
We get a significant code and complexity shrinkage this way (a lot of the
configuration machinery goes away too). These things are your MDA's job.
(This also kills off the lose-mail-on-disk-full bug, which I've never
seen but two users reported.)

* Lose the .fetchids file and give up on POP3 UIDs, they're a dead loss.

fetchmail-1.0 (Thu Sep 26 11:59:38 EDT 1996):
-
* SMTP forwarding and header-rewrite features work with POP2 now.
-
* Stricter RFC822 conformance, so SMTP to qmail works. Thanks to
Cameron MacPherson <unsound@oz.net> for these changes.
-
* The program is quieter but more informative now (suppress printing of
server greeting message; add the server host being queried to the
message count information line).
-
* Add `skip' option to make it easier to set up test entries.
-
* Name change (it ain't just for POP any more).

-
* Add code by Michael Schwendt <3schwend@informatik.uni-hamburg.de> for
improved sizeticker.
-
* Improved RFC822 parsing (thanks to Rob Funk).
-
* Move the per-user lockfile to /tmp so it gets cleared at reboot time.
-
* Warn users that running concurrent instances of popclient is a bad idea.
-
* Try USER and HOME to set defaults before going to the password file.
This should work better in Sun NIS environments.
popclient-3.1 (Thu Sep 12 15:45:25 EDT 1996):

* MDA arguments are now dumped when using the -V option.
-
* Sendmail delivery from background seems to work now.
-
* We have IMAP2bis/IMAP4 support.
-
* Code now autoprobes for a POP3, IMAP, or POP2 server if no protocol is
specified.
-
* SMTP forwarding support. Thanks to Harry Hochheiser <harry@tigger.jvnc.net>
for this simple but clever idea. It's now the default delivery mode.
-
* If no UNIX From line is found, popclient will now synthesize a correct
line from the RFC822 From line.
-
* It is now possible to specify the host TCP/IP port number to connect to.

-
* Minor bug fixes for password querying and redirection to stdout.

-
* Correct buggy processing of nokeep/noflush/fetchall.
-
* Fix buggy -mda option processing.
-
* Added -N/--norewrite option.
-
* Delivery via sendmail now works in non-daemon mode.
popclient-3.01 (Mon Jul 1 13:33:51 EDT 1996):
-
* Fixed a lexical analyzer bug in quoted-string processing.
-
* Fixed a bug in dump_options that caused username to be displayed incorrectly.
-
* The lock assertion code was in the wrong place relative to the daemonize()
