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.

420                                 broken-chain info from stats. I hope this doesn't
421                                 break any Nym functionality.
422                               Warn if remailer stats are older than a day or
423                                 from the future.
424                               Don't send messages to ourselves via the mailsystem
425                                 but instead place them in the pool as incoming
426                                 messages so that they will get processed with the
427                                 next pool run.
428                               No longer try to send a message if there are no
429                                 recipients left.
430                               Set default max-randhops from 20 to 4.
431                               Remix-To chain is limited by max-randhops limit as
432                                 well.
433                               Messages to more than one remailer are dropped.
434                               Nym support is not compiled in by default anymore.
435                               The OpenPGP module mpgp now includes a man
436                                 page (large contributions by Trek).
437                               Ignore 'No reliable remailers' problems when
438                                 randhopping messages in middleman mode.
439                                 That is better than dropping them.
440                               Experimental feature:  --redirect -l <chain>.
441                                 If you have a mixmaster message with a
442                                 chain starting with hop1 (you cannot know any
443                                 more because it already is encrypted) then
444                                 mix --redirect -l foo,bar < file
445                                 redirect the message so the chain is actually
446                                 foo,bar,hop1,... and places it in your pool.
447                                 If the total number of hops (which cannot be
448                                 known) exceeds 20 the message is damanged
449                                 and will fail at the 20th node.
450    
451    2004-04-06      3.0b2
452                               Use /dev/arandom instead of /dev/srandom on
453                                 OpenBSD (Nikolay Sturm).
454                               Fall back to 3DES as Encrypt-Key cipher if we don't
455                                 have IDEA. - Laurent Fousse <laurent@komite.net>
456                               Also sort mail into the various mboxes if autoreply
457                                 is not set.
458                               Properly ignore whitespace in chain selection.
459                               Removed unused functions in keymgt.c.
460                               Added new options -V, --version, and --about.
461                               Made manpage corrections.
462                               Minor ncurses display tweaks.
463                               General improvements for Win32 support (by
464                                 goblin and Peter Palfrader).
465                               Preliminary Windows Installer work.
466                               On Win32, default to Application Data/Mixmaster for
467                                 mixmaster's basedirectory.  This can still be
468                                 overridden by MIXPATH or the registry entry
469                                 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mixmaster\MixDir
470                               Introduced new option "(e)dit configuration
471                                 file" in the main menu.
472                               Changed 'q)uit' to 'q)uit w/o sending' in
473                                 menusend.c.
474                               Added stats downloading support. Currently
475                                 works under Win32 only (by goblin).
476                               Fixed bug in buffers.c.
477    
478    2004-?????      3.0???
