89 reply blocks (by Gerd Beuster).
90 --nym option bug fix (by Adam Back).
91
92 2001-09-11 2.9beta24 Changed pool.c to allow Mixmaster keys to pass
93 even when binary blocking is enabled. Note that
94 the solution is not a nice one: It does not
95 recognize Mix keys, it simply allows 10 lines of
96 binary garbage instead of 3. This should be enough
97 for Mix keys to come through (by Peter Palfrader).
98 Fixed a bug in pgpdata.c affecting v3 OpenPGP keys.
99 (by Michael Young).
100

115 malformed text attachments (by Michael Young).
116 Better error handling (by Scott Renfro).
117 Added support for multiple dest.blk files. This
118 is needed for the Remailer Abuse Blocklist (by
119 Markus Stöger).
120 Added support for remailer-adminkey replies to
121 provide a better way for remops to distribute
122 their keys. (by Markus Stöger).

140 Problem transparently remixing to Type I remailers
141 debugged and corrected (by Andy Dustman,
142 Disastry, Senshi-Admin).
143 Fixed an error in chain.c that was causing
144 segfaults with chains greater than 20 remailers.
145 Non-multipart MIME message errors fixed.
146 Fixed an error in rfc822.c (by Scott Renfro).
147 Fixed pgpget.c errors. (by Ulf Möller).
148 No longer permits automatic blocking of entire
149 domains or newsgroups.
150 Help files re-written (by Lucky Green).
151 Fixed inconsistencies between software name and
152 package name.
153
154 2002-07-01 2.9b34 Encrypt-to directive is now supported.
155 Partial packets now properly expire if not
156 reassembled (by cmeclax).
157 Fixed an address blocking error introduced in
158 the last version (Peter Palfrader).
159 Various command line bug fixes.
160
161 2002-07-10 2.9b35 Updated zlib due to security reasons.
162 Does not generate keys in client mode.
163 Uses binary format for id.log.
164 Assorted mpgp fixes (by Disastry).

166 in the mix.cfg file. (by Disastry).
167 Now reports the contents of dest.alw for
168 middleman remailers (by Kat).
169 Reworked the OpenSSL version check in the
170 Install script.
171
172 2002-08-09 2.9b36 Removed duplicate define of NYMDB from menu.h.
173 Fix a strncat() to undefined string variable in
174 mix.c (Closes: #584381).
175 Have the Makefile list all prerequisites for each
176 build target (Closes: #584386).
177 Change »majordomo@*« to »majordomo@« in default
178 dest.blk. The dest block engine does not under-
179 stand shell globs. Either substring matches or
180 regexen.
181 Fixed -T switch: if type2.list is not available fall
182 back to pubring.mix.
183 USE_IDEA is no longer default in config.h. It always
184 gets defined by the Install script instead.
185 Only create OpenPGP RSA keys if we compiled with
186 IDEA.
187 Make all filenames configurable in mix.cfg.
188 Add global mix.cfg support (compile time option).
189 The -G option now forces creation of new keys even in

192 Default to not installing a .forward file in Install
193 script.
194 Fix unused variable warning on OpenBSD.
195 Fix public remailer keys getting re-signed
196 every time keys are requested (Closes: #478383).
197 Make smtp sending similar to local /usr/lib/sendmail
198 sending (wrt header/body separation;
199 Closes: #482052).
200 Add X-Loop header on mailbox forwarded messages.
201 Several small fixes by Sami Farin et al.
202 Detach correctly in daemon mode.
203 Minor Install script fixes.
204
205 2002-08-20 2.9b37 OpenPGP enhancement release (fixes by Disastry).
206 Fix a small bug in pgpdata.c that stopped Mixmaster
207 from reading cipher preferences.
208 Fixed Passphrase reading in mpgp (the test program)
209 on Windows platform.
210 Add Hash: header when clearsigning.
211 Properly handle RSA keys whose key size is not a
212 multiple of 64.
213 Remove leading zeros from MPI.
214 Use MDC packets whenever possible.
215 List CAST5 and AES128 in cipher preferences.
216 Now displays Mixmaster version in the PGP version
217 header for non remailer/nym messages.
218
219 2002-09-11 2.9b38 Install script deals with lack of patented IDEA
220 algorithm in a sane way (closes: #479020).
221 Compiled-in passphrase is now deprecated.
222 When expiring packet ids from id.log also expire
223 packets that are dated more than half a year in
224 the future. That way we get rid of invalid
225 packets introduced by the switch to a binary file.
226 The stats in remailer-stats replies always had a
227 peak at 00:00 GMT which was wrong. Fixed.
228 (closes: #597688).
229 Fixed a bug with reading armored keyrings consisting
230 of more than one armored block or having comments
231 in front of the one armored block.
232 In RSA PGP keys, we now set e=0x11.
233 Mixmaster now deletes error and temporary files
234 older than PACKETEXP time along with expired
235 partial packets.
236 Linux PPC fixes (and all other archs where char is
237 unsigned).
238
239 2002-??-?? 2.9b39 Applied Maildir feature patch by drt@un.bewaff.net,
240 with some changes by PP:
241 MAILBOX can now be a Maildir (closes: #586223).
242 New option MAILIN that can be set to either a mbox
243 or Maildir folder. New mail will be read from it
244 and the folder cleared every time Mixmaster
245 processes its pool, or at MAILINTIME intervals
246 (closes: #597043).
247 When sending type II messages interactively you may
248 now choose a middleman remailer as the last hop
249 in your chain (closes: #481244).
250 If a footer.txt file exists its content will be
251 appended to outgoing messages leaving the remailer
252 network at this hop (closes: #490117).
253 List known Mixmasters/cpunks in remailer-conf reply
254 (closes: #480330).
255 Mixmaster in daemon mode reloads configuration on
256 SIGHUP. Upon receiving SIGTERM or SIGINT it will
257 finish its current queue run and then exit
258 successfully.
259 The secret pgp keyring is now stored ASCII armored
260 with one key per ascii armor.
261 NB: Due to the bug with reading armored keyrings and
262 secring being stored armored now, it is not
263 advisable to downgrade Mixmaster unless special
264 action is taken to preserve the secret pgp
265 keyring.
266 Mixmaster now prompts for secret key passphrase when
267 started in daemon mode.
268 The Mixmaster daemon now writes a pid file.
269 The files created with "SENDMAIL outfile" have
270 different names now to scale beyond 10k files
271 (closes: #587593).
272 Mixmaster keys now have creation and expiration date.
273 It is not secured by any crypto voodoo, it's only
274 informational for clients to decide which keys to
275 use should they have more.
276 - on the client side we do not show remailers (and
277 therefore not use them) if their key is expired.
278 - the remailer refuses to decrypt messages to keys
279 that expired one month ago or earlier.
280 - the remailer automatically creates new Mixmaster
281 keys if the current ones are about to expire or
282 already are expired.
283 - the latest key from secring.mix is written to
284 key.txt. It used to be the first one. Since
285 creation of new mix key appends the key, this
286 seemed sensible.
287 Mixmaster now generates dummy messages automatically
288 as mail enters and exits the pool.
289 Mixmaster now handles CRLF in pubring.mix.
