236                               Linux PPC fixes (and all other archs where char is
237                                 unsigned).
238    
239    2002-10-07      2.9b39     Added a new feature, --store-mail (-I), which will
240                                 deliver an encrypted mix packet to the message pool
241                                 without attempting being decrypted.
242                               Made minor updates for WIN32 DLL.
243                               When sending type II messages interactivly you may
244                                 now choose a middleman remailer as the last hop
245                                 in your chain (closes: #481244).
246                               If a footer.txt file exists its content will be

252                                 different names now to scale beyond 10k files
253                                 (closes: #587593).

255                               Various fixes for Mixmaster when not using ncurses.
256                               Added new option --config to allow loading of

258                               POOL is now used correctly if set in mix.cfg.
259                               ASCII armor checksum is now verified on PGP keys.
260                               Corrected a bug where 1/4096 of pgp messages was
261                                 destroyed due an improper armor checksum
262                                 interpretation.
263                               Added password-based authenticated SMTP for mix.
264                                 Currently, only AUTH LOGIN is supported.
265                               Mixmaster now handles <CR><LF> in pubring.mix.

271                               Fixed permissions on tarball release.
272                               Documentation updates.
273    
274    2002-10-16      2.9b40     New option MAILIN that can be set to either a mbox
275                                 or Maildir folder. New mail will be read from it
276                                 and the folder cleared every time Mixmaster
277                                 processes its pool, or at MAILINTIME intervals
278                                 (closes: #597043).
279                               The Mixmaster daemon now writes a pid file.
280                               Mixmaster in daemon mode now catches SIGTERM and
281                                 SIGINT and finishes its current queue run and then
282                                 exits successfully.
283                               Minor code formating cleanup and Install script
284                                 fixes.
285    
286    2002-xx-xx      STABLE     The Mixmaster protocol version is now prepended
287                                 to the software version in the Mixmaster cap-
288                                 string.
289                               Minor configuration default changes and Install
290                                 script fixes.
291                               Install script now always uses "make" and not
292                                 "gmake".
293                               IDEA detection is fixed on systems that provide
294                                 the header files but then turn out to not
295                                 have the required functions upon linking.
296                               Install now properly identifies system-wide
297                                 installations of pcre and/or zlib if they
298                                 are installed in /usr/local/.
299                               Mixmaster will now ensure that an address
300                                 submitted in a blocking request does not
301                                 match that of a known remailer before
302                                 adding it to the dest.blk file (patch
303                                 submitted by Trek. Vulnerability originally
304                                 discovered by noise and rabbi.)
305                               Minor documentation fixes.
306                               Append another newline character to mbox folders
307                                 when storing a mail so that the mandatory empty
308                                 line is there.
309    
310    2002-10-18      3.0a1      Applied Maildir feature patch by drt@un.bewaff.net,
311                                 with some changes by PP:
312                                 MAILBOX can now be a Maildir (closes: #586223).
313                               Mixmaster in daemon mode reloads configuration on
314                                 SIGHUP.
315                               The secret pgp keyring is now stored ASCII armored

322                             Mixmaster now prompts for secret key passphrase when                             Mixmaster now prompts for secret key passphrase when
323                               started in daemon mode.                               started in daemon mode.
324                               Mixmaster checks expiration and revocation status of
325                                 pgp keys, userids, and subkeys.
326                               Mixmaster will not encrypt or sign with a revoked
327                                 or expired key.
328                               When encrypting, Mixmaster uses preferences from
329                                the primary userid (or the latest userid, if zero
330                                or more than one primary userid is present.)
331                               Mixmaster keys now have creation and expiration date.
332                                 It is not secured by any crypto voodoo, it's only
333                                 informational for clients to decide which keys to
334                                 use should they have more.
335                                 - on the client side we do not show remailers (and
336                                   therefore not use them) if their key is expired.
337                                 - the remailer refuses to decrypt messages to keys
338                                   that expired one month ago or earlier.
339                                 - the remailer automatically creates new Mixmaster
340                                   keys if the current ones are about to expire or
341                                   already are expired.
342                                 - the latest key from secring.mix is written to
343                                   key.txt. It used to be the first one. Since
344                                   creation of new mix key appends the key, this
345                                   seemed sensible.
346                               Mixmaster now generates dummy messages automatically
347                                 as mail enters and exits the pool.
348    
349    2002-xx-xx      3.0a2      New Star-Exclude feature by Colin Tuckley:
350                                 User-selected remailers can be excluded from
351                                 being chosen as random hops.
352                               Have stats on intermediate vs. final hop count
353                                 (closes: #649900).
354                               Handle a pool we cannot read correctly: don't close
355                                 the NULL dir handle (segfaults on *bsd). We also
356                                 print a warning in that case now.
357    
358    2003-02-15                 Add max capability for Type I.
359                               Make sure DH/DSA param file is actually opened before
360                                 writing to it.  Fixes a segfault in case it is not.
361                               Fix a problem in blockrequest() where a buffer
362                                 could have been used after it was free()d which
363                                 resulted in segfaults.
364                               Install script tweaks
365                               Check that feedback buffer is not null before
366                                 operating on it in chain_select().
367                                 Closes #631353, thanks Sami Farin.
368                               In order to serve help files in different languages
369                                 we need a way to reply to requests like
370                                 remailer-help-it.  In order to not have to modify
371                                 the code for each and every new ressource,
372                                 Mixmaster now sends the file
373                                 requests/remailer-<something> to
374                                 remailer-<something> requests.
375                                 remailer-{help,key, stats,conf,adminkey} still are
376                                 special cases tho.
377                               In the curses interface chain selection it was not
378                                 possible to select a random last hop with a usenet
379                                 post message.  Fixed (closes: #719165).
380                               If remix was enabled and we had a Type-I Anon-Post-To
381                                 request we accidently randhoped it via the
382                                 configured default remailing chain (default:
383                                 *,*,*,*).
384                                 Fixed (closes: #729494).
385                               In client mode (REMAIL n) the pool is flushed every
386                                 time mixmaster is run unless CLIENTAUTOFLUSH is
387                                 set to n.  (closes: #676794: Rate implementation
388                                 doubled)
389                               Found that weird bug that weird bug that sometimes
390                                 led to "Unknown remailer version!" errors: In
391                                 chain_randfinal() we selected a random value
392                                 between 0 and maxrem instead of 0 and maxrem - 1.
393                               Mixmaster now uses broken-chain info from stats. I
394                                 hope this doesn't break any Nym functionality.
395                               Warn if remailer stats are older than a day.
