-POPRC FILE SYNTAX
-
-* The .poprc lexer now supports "-enclosed strings which may contain
- whitespace.
-
-* I added a --yydebug option to enable .poprc parser debugging at runtime
- if the parser was generated with --debug. It's not documented.
-
-* You may now have a `defaults' entry in .poprc which sets overrideable
- values for other entries. See the man page for details.
-
-* It is now possible to set keep, flush and fetchall in your .poprc file.
-
-* Fixed incorrect numbering of source lines in .poprc parse error messages.
-
-* The configure.in specification no longer uses the obsolete AC_TRY_COMPILE
- macro (it uses AC_TRY_LINK instead).
-
-MAILBOX LOCKING
-
-* I have added mandatory locking of mailbox files where supported.
- This will cover Linux systems, in particular.
-
-* The default behavior is now to do lock-protected append on the user's
- system mailbox rather than using delivermail or some other MDA.
- (This is a performance hack.)
-
-* The autoconfigure script now looks for standard mail locations. The
- default mail delivery agent is used only if it can't find a mail spool
- directory in the standard places.
-
-FUNCTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
-
-* When using POP3, message headers are edited so that replies won't foo up.
- Anything that looks like a mail ID local to the POP host gets @ and the
- pop servername attached to it before being appended to the user's
- mailbox or passed to an MDA.
-
-* I have implemented daemon mode.
-
-* I have added a lock check to ensure that there is only one popclient
- running per user, and a --quit option to kill the currently running
- one.
-
-DOCUMENTATION
-
-* All changes and feature additions have been tested in actual use and are
- documented on the man page.
-
-* I have turned the comments in the sample.poprc into a new manual
- section documenting the .poprc format.
-
-MISCELLANEOUS BUG FIXES
-
-* I fixed some de-initialization bugs in pop2.c and pop3.c that led to
- fd leaks (these became painfully obvious when I tested daemon mode!).
-
-* I've fixed the flaky parser error messages. They turned out to be due
- to a misdeclaration of yytext.
-
-There's only one feature I haven't been able to add successfully. I
-want a --logfile option that redirects the daemon-mode output to a
-given file, but the code (in daemon.c near 200) unaccountably doesn't
-work (so I haven't documented it yet).
-
-3.0b5
-o "From " header fix in pop2.c and pop3.c
-o Surpress "..." output when --stdout option specified in pop3.c
-
-3.0b4
-o alloca fix.
-o various diagnostic/informational message fixes.
-
-3.0b3
-o Support for retrieving only new messages from maildrop when
- using POP3.
-o Support for retrieving only the first n lines of each message
- when using POP3.
-o APOP authentication support.
-o Buffered socket input.
-
-3.0b2
- This is a "new features" release.
-o support for .poprc file.
-o GNU-style long options.
-o fixed passwords appearing in 'ps' output
-o support for multiple servers on one command line
-
-3.0b1
- This is mostly a test of the autoconfigure integration.
-Among the functions performed by the new configure script, is
-the ability to detect known system types, configures the mail
-delivery agent (MDA) correctly. This should permanently solve
-the problem of using something other than an MDA for mail
-delivery (which continues to plague Linux slackware 1.2.9).
-For this beta, please check the values of MDA_PATH and MDA_ARGS
-carefully. They should match the values found in your
-sendmail.cf file on the line which begins with "Mlocal".
-
- Other changes from popclient version 2.21:
-
-o no longer uses getpass() from the C library. The
- internal getpassword() function allows the use of long
- passwords.
-
-o integrated GNU getopt() for long options. Long option
- names will appear in a future beta.
-
-o Several compiler warnings fixed.
-
-o Fixed problems related to missing include files in
- Solaris port.
