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

Changes in 4.4.7:

* rfc2ftn: new options RegisteredHostsOnly (not yet implemented!),
  kinda reverse function to -i --ignore-hosts, and
  RegisteredAliasesOnly, allowing only mail to recipient addresses
  registered via the ALIASES file, both alias@host.do.main and
  User_Name@host.do.main; bounced mails (host, user) are now logged,
  logging of messages now more sendmail-like.
  
  The RegisteredAliasesOnly option is quite useful for bouncing spam
  to non-existing addresses right at the gateway (used that way at
  Fido.DE).



Changes in 4.4.6:

* ftn2rfc: new DontIgnore0x8d aka DontIgnoreSoftCR config option.

* ftnhatch: new -r --replaces FILE command line option.

* ffxqt: increased number of possible command args to 256.



Changes in 4.4.5:

* sendmail related scripts and sendmail config files updated for
  version 8.11

* first version at sourceforge.net



Changes in 4.4.4:

* rfc2ftn: fixed severe bug in handling of long header lines,
  e.g. References, which caused missing or incorrect ^AREPLYs. Thanks
  to Stephan Heitbrink <heitbrink@gmx.net> for reporting the bug and
  providing the test input news article files.

* hosts2dns: default MX changed



Changes in 4.4.3:

* runpoll-binkd: updated for binkd 0.9.4

* out-ls: updated, uses fidogate.conf

* i386 RPM: fixed missing /var/lib/fidogate/seq/

* ftnafutil: new "listdownlinks" for areassucksync

* areassucksync: new script for sync'ing areas.bbs and sucknewsrc

* runafutil: new run script for ftnafutil

* outb: new wrapper script for out-ls

* outb-kill: new script, remove outbound stuff for a node

* rfc2ftn: new config options DontChangeContentTypeCharset,
  DontProcessReturnReceiptTo



Changes in 4.4.2:

* Some changes to the various scripts.

* Code clean-up, got rid of all insecure strcpy(), strcat(), sprintf() 
  functions.

* ffx, ffxqt: support for job compression removed (ftnpack does this
  anyway), several changes to improve security.



Changes in 4.4.1:

* ftn2rfc: fixed bug in handling of invalid ^ACHRS for input charset.

* rfc2ftn: fixed memory leak.

* ftn2rfc: fixed memory leak.



Changes in 4.4.0:

* NEW STABLE RELEASE based on 4.3.6.

* charset.map: translation tables completed.

* ftn2rfc: line formatting changes (filling to MessageLineLength only
  for lines >= 80 chars).

* Distribution now as i386 and src RPM for RedHat 6.0 (should work
  with other glibc-based distributions as well). Binary RPM installs
  new sample config files for FIDOGATE point.

* Some minor bugfixes to scripts and C source.



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

Needed:

* GNU CC or ANSI C compiler
* GNU make
* GNU flex/bison or lex/yacc
* Perl5
* sendmail m4 configuration files
* GNU m4 for the sendmail m4 configuration
