Postfix snapshot 20051220 provides a plug-in architecture for SASL
authentication. With this, Postfix can support multiple SASL
implementations without source code patches.
Incompatibility with snapshot 20051220
======================================
The Postfix-with-Cyrus-SASL build procedure has changed. You now
need to specify -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL in addition to -DUSE_SASL_AUTH or
else you end up without any Cyrus SASL support. The error messages
are:
unsupported SASL server implementation: cyrus
unsupported SASL client implementation: cyrus
Major changes with snapshot 20051220
====================================
Plug-in support for SASL authentication in the SMTP server and in
the SMTP+LMTP client. With this, Postfix can support multiple SASL
implementations without source code patches. Some distributors may
even make SASL support a run-time linking option, just like they
do with Postfix lookup tables.
Hints and tips for plug-in developers are in the xsasl/README file.
For backwards compatibility the default plug-in type is Cyrus SASL,
so everything should behave like it did before. Some error messages
are slightly different, but these are generally improvements.
The "postconf -a" command shows what plug-in implementations are
available for the SMTP server, and "postconf -A" does the same for
the SMTP+LMTP client. Plug-in implementations are selected with
the smtpd_sasl_type, smtp_sasl_type and lmtp_sasl_type configuration
parameters.
Other new configuration parameters are smtpd_sasl_path, smtp_sasl_path
and lmtp_sasl_path. These are better left alone; they are introduced
for the convenience of other SASL implementations.
Postfix 2.2.8 backs out a workaround for broken servers/firewalls
that created more problems than it solved.
- The Postfix 2.2.6 paranoia about malformed remote server replies
caused "multiple delivery" problems or "no delivery" problems with
broken servers/firewalls. Postfix still logs a warning but no longer
defers delivery.
Changes since 4.51:
- The occurence of a symlink other than work* inside the pkgsrc tree is
not an error, just a warning.
- SUBST_MESSAGE should not be quoted.
- If -Wextra is enabled, all make variables that are used in shell commands
are checked for proper quoting.
- Improved the parser for shell commands.
- Some other minor changes.
In paste.c, do real boundary checks and consider NULL FILE pointers as
closed files. This replaces use of global dummy FILEs, which is not
possible on DragonFly, since FILE is incompletly.
In configure, include stdio.h when checking for __fpending, since
the prototype is defined there on DragonFly.
* Removed random colors from petri mode. Found that it could cause a fatal
* error on PseudoColor. (Will try to fix better on next release.)
+ PAM update from Yuri Bushmelev <jay-dev AT simcom.ru> fixes an
+ initialization problem PAM_conv function and made cleaner and friendly.
+ BAD_PAM fixed.
fzort mode by Mauro Persano <mauro_persano AT yahoo.com>... its not a
OpenGL mode but it looks like it is. Try using with -mono also.
Tom Schmidt found an as of yet unresolved Uninitialized Memory read,
see Purify logs.
dclock -binary option added thanks to Petey Leinonen (he saw the
original on thinkgeek).
Non-compatible routines for shared memory workaround for VMS when using
libs MMOV(Multimedia for sounds) and DECWINDOWS thanks to Jouk Jansen.
mandelbrot options added thanks to Tim Auckland
update from Jouk Jansen to avoid log of 0
-alpha adds detail to the interior of the set by displaying level sets
of "closest return", ie how close does the orbit of z come back to its
starting point z=0. These show minima around the center of each bud.
-index is similar, but displays at which iteration the closest return
occurs. These show a fibonacci branching structure from the base of
each bud, ie each adjacent pair of domains surrounds a domain whose
index is the sum of the indices of its neigbours.
-lyap option for colours in the interior of the set according to an
estimate of the Lyapunov exponent. (Not to be confused with real plane
Lyapunov fractals). Also now allow -binary and -dem.
New random mode for win32, compile with -DRANDOMMODE .
It seems to bomb out if you run it for a while, so I did not make it
the default.
win32 changes from Tim Auckland:
new configure dialog
random mode done to enable
win32 changes from Petey Leinonen:
fixes for nose and life1d
matrix mode works with the 2 following changes
fixed XCopyArea() for destinations that are not windows (ie a bitmap)
fixed XCreatePixmapFromBitmapData() so it always creates a pixmap
regardless of depth ( creates the Windows bitmap with 1 bit depth),
and apply the foreground and background colors.
XCopyArea, XSetTSOrigin, XSetFillRule fixes and got these modes to work:
bat, bounce, dilemma, eyes, image, nose, pacman,
shape, slip, star, starfish, wator, world
unlock delay from lgx <lgxror AT gmail.com> [it was explained to me
but still not sure why you would use it]
+ new update since BETA
* new since BETA
No available changelog
Does include a fix for a known security issue:

"disclose system information, execute arbitrary SQL code, and potentially
compromise a vulnerable system."
