======================================================================

Changes in 4.2.8:

* rfc2ftn: new ReplyAddrIfmailTX option for compatibility with
  (broken) ifmail-TX.

* logcheck: new script for analyzing sendmail rejects.

* rfc2ftn/ftn2rfc: improved ^AGATEWAY, X-Gateway processing.

* ftn2rfc: fixed BounceCCMail (messed up in 4.2.6).

* fb-filelist: new version using fareas.bbs.

* ftnroute: new bossroute command, allows crash mail for points to be
  routed via their boss node.



Changes in 4.2.7:

* Fixed bug in routing config file, routing commands for EchoMail were
  broken in 4.2.6.

* runtoss, rununpack: allow arbitrary input directory as command line
  parameter. 

* sendmail configuration: SPAM filter hacks and examples added.

* ftninpost: fixed running ftninrecomb.

* Updated documentation.

* New FIDOGATE mailing list, see below!

* WIN32 binary release with some configuration examples and test
  script.

* rfc2ftn: new config XFlagsPolicy, DontUseReplyTo (see docs). Better
  log for all mails with X-Flags settings.

* ftntick: new UnkownTickArea for incoming TICs with unknown file
  areas.

renamed to SPOOLDIR/in/tmpmail and SPOOLDIR/in/tmpnews.

* ftn2rfc: new -1 --single-articles option, forces ftn2rfc to single
  news article files in SPOOLDIR/in/tmpnews. This enables FIDOGATE to
  cooperate with other news posting tools such as innxmit and rpost
  (from the suck package).

* aliases/areas/hosts/routing/packing/passwd config files support a
  new "include FILE" command.

* ftntick: bugfix for empty Desc(ription) line.

  Jean-Louis Noel <jln@stben.be>.

NOTE: PASSTHRU_NETMAIL and PASSTHRU_ECHOMAIL are now switched off in
the FIDOGATE distribution config.h!

* rununpack: use directory tmpunpack/ instead of tmp/ to avoid
  conflicts with ifcico.

* ftntick: fixed copy error if Replaces (old) file doesn't exist and
  TickReplacedDir is used.

* nl-html: new nodelist to HTML converter.



Changes in 4.2.3:
