355                               as mail enters and exits the pool.                               as mail enters and exits the pool.
356                             Linux PPC fixes (and all other archs where char is  
357                               unsigned).  2002-xx-xx      3.0a2      New Star-Exclude feature by Colin Tuckley:
358                                 User-selected remailers can be excluded from
359                                 being chosen as random hops.
360                               Have stats on intermediate vs. final hop count
361                                 (closes: #649900).
362    
363    2003-05-03      3.0a4      Handle a pool we cannot read correctly: don't close
364                                 the NULL dir handle (segfaults on *bsd). We also
365                                 print a warning in that case now.
366                               Add max capability for Type I.
367                               Make sure DH/DSA param file is actually opened before
368                                 writing to it.  Fixes a segfault in case it is not.
369                               Fix a problem in blockrequest() where a buffer
370                                 could have been used after it was free()d which
371                                 resulted in segfaults.
372                               Install script tweaks
373                               Check that feedback buffer is not null before
374                                 operating on it in chain_select().
375                                 Closes #631353, thanks Sami Farin.
376                               In order to serve help files in different languages
377                                 we need a way to reply to requests like
378                                 remailer-help-it.  In order to not have to modify
379                                 the code for each and every new ressource,
380                                 Mixmaster now sends the file
381                                 requests/remailer-<something> to
382                                 remailer-<something> requests.
383                                 remailer-{help,key, stats,conf,adminkey} still are
384                                 special cases tho.
385                               In the curses interface chain selection it was not
386                                 possible to select a random last hop with a usenet
387                                 post message.  Fixed (closes: #719165).
388                               If remix was enabled and we had a Type-I Anon-Post-To
389                                 request we accidently randhoped it via the
390                                 configured default remailing chain (default:
391                                 *,*,*,*).
392                                 Fixed (closes: #729494).
393                               In client mode (REMAIL n) the pool is flushed every
394                                 time mixmaster is run unless CLIENTAUTOFLUSH is
395                                 set to n.  (closes: #676794: Rate implementation
396                                 doubled)
397                               Found that weird bug that sometimes led to "Unknown
398                                 remailer version!" errors: In chain_randfinal() we
399                                 selected a random value between 0 and maxrem instead
400                                 of 0 and maxrem - 1.  Mixmaster now uses
401                                 broken-chain info from stats. I hope this doesn't
402                                 break any Nym functionality.
403                               Warn if remailer stats are older than a day.
404    
405    2003-05-08      3.0a5      Experimental feature:  --redirect -l <chain>.
406                                 If you have a mixmaster message with a
407                                 chain starting with hop1 (you cannot know any
408                                 more because it already is encrypted) then
409                                 mix --redirect -l foo,bar < file
410                                 redirect the message so the chain is actually
411                                 foo,bar,hop1,... and places it in your pool.
412                                 If the total number of hops (which cannot be
413                                 known) exceeds 20 the message is damanged
414                                 and will fail at the 20th node.
415    
416    
417    2003-06-27      3.0a6     Don't send messages to ourselves via the mailsystem
418                                but instead place them in the pool as incoming
419                                messages so that they will get processed with the
420                                next pool run.
421                              Hopefully fix a bug with pool stats.
422    
423    2003-06-29      3.0a7     Two minor fixes for bugs introduced in 3.0a6 and
424                                3.0a4.
425    
426    2003-06-30      3.0a8     Minor stats fix.  The date in remailer-stats was
427                                sometimes wrong.
428    
429    2003-10-12      3.0a9     Don't try to send a message if there are no
430                                recipients left.
431                              Set default max-randhops from 20 to 4.
432                              Remix-To chain is limited by max-randhops limit as
433                                well.
434                              Messages to more than one remailer are dropped.
435                              Config option EXTFLAGS allows appending additional
436                                flags to the capabilities string.  (Hauke Lampe)
437                              Config option PRECEDENCE allows setting the
438                                Precedence: header on all outgoing mail.
439                                (Hauke Lampe)
440                              Nym support is not compiled in by default anymore.
441                              Ignore 'No reliable remailers' problems when
442                                randhopping messages in middleman mode.
443                                That is better than dropping them.
444    
445    2003-??-??      CVS       Drop messages without timestamps and messages with
446                                future timestamps.  This abandons backwards
447                                compatibility with mixmaster 2.0.3 and earlier.
