312  2002-10-18      3.0a1      Applied Maildir feature patch by drt@un.bewaff.net,  2002-12-16      2.9.0rc1   Release candidate. Packaging changes only.
313                               with some changes by PP:  
314                               MAILBOX can now be a Maildir (closes: #586223).  2002-12-25      2.9.0      Release version. Minor documentation changes
315                             Mixmaster in daemon mode reloads configuration on                               and version number change only.
316                               SIGHUP.  
317    2003-11-08      2.9.1      Several changes for the Windows build.
318                               Some Install script fixes.
319                               Fixed a problem in blockrequest() where a buffer
320                                 could have been used after it was free()'d which
321                                 resulted in segfaults.
322                               Check that feedback buffer is not null before
323                                 operating on it in chain_select().
324                                 Closes #631353, thanks Sami Farin.
325                               Make sure DH/DSA param file is actually opened
326                                 before writing to it. Fixes a segfault in
327                                 case it is not.
328                               Handle a pool we cannot read correctly: don't close
329                                 the NULL dir handle (segfaults on *BSD). We also
330                                 print a warning in that case now.
331                               Minor stats fix (gmtime vs localtime).
332                               Fix pool stats bug.

441                                 redirect the message so the chain is actually
442                                 foo,bar,hop1,... and places it in your pool.
443                                 If the total number of hops (which cannot be
444                                 known) exceeds 20 the message is damanged
445                                 and will fail at the 20th node.
