While I'm at it:
* Set USE_LIBINTL, rather than depending on gettext directly.
* Remove some silliness that deleted -export-dynamic from a Makefile and then
readded it through the global LDFLAGS.
*) Allow absolute pathnames in the -socket argument.
*) Don't invoke suexec when the user/group for the fastcgi application
is the same as the apache main server. This is consistent with
apache's suexec handling.
*) Reset the apache drop dead timer upon successful read or writes
to/from the client. This eliminates timeouts that were occuring
during the large file transfers to/from slow clients.
*) Support generic wrappers such as cgiwrap by eliminating dependencies
on Apache's SUEXEC, renaming the FastCgiSuexec directive
FastCgiWrapper and eliminating any checks regarding the target
application (this is the repsonibility of the wrapper).
*) Fix a nasty bug that occurred when a client aborted a POST request
before the connection to a dynamic FastCGI application was opened.
* for jadetex, include the jadetex and pdfjadetex binaries
* for both packages, move the texmf.cnf file around properly, i.e. move
aside before putting the pkgs' file in-place, and move our backup back
after removing it.
long time. Oh well.)
* Only replace the value of PATH for "PATH", not any variable whose name
starts with PATH (like PKGPATH :-)

Documentation: the canonical, virtual etc. manual pages
did not document the effect of leading whitespace.
20001025
Bugfix: virtual map expansion stopped too early with
self-referential aliases. Reported by Michael Douglass
@ datafoundry.net. File: cleanup/cleanup_map1n.c.
20001026
Horror: postmap and postalias (newaliases) silently lose
the file lock while building a lookup table with Berkeley
DB 2.x and later on Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, and UNIXWARE.
The result is that table lookups fail while the table is
being built, so that mail is lost. In order to avoid this
misbehavior one has to use an undocumented feature that is
NOT available with the DB1.85 compatibility interface.
Therefore, Postfix now supports three Berkeley DB programming
interfaces of increasing complexity. File: util/dict_db.c.
Bugfix: some character manipulations were not portable for
signed/unsigned characters. Files: global/quote_821_local.c,
global/quote_822_local.c.
Workaround: apparently, some software sends SMTP mail that
begins with "From sender time-stamp". Sendmail silently
ignores such RFC violating garbage, and therefore Postfix
needs to jump another hoop. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20001028
Bugfix: the flush server tried to access config files after
going to the chroot jail. Found by Lutz Jaenicke, TU-Cottbus.DE.
File: flush/flush.c.
Update: revised LDAP module from primary maintainer John
Hensley, with contributions from many other people. Files:
util/dict_ldap.c, LDAP_README.
Update: LINUX2 chroot setup script by Matthias Andree,
uni-dortmund.de.
Feature: specify unix:/path/name for LMTP connections over
UNIX-domain sockets, and specify inet:host or inet:host:port
for IPV4. If no unix: or inet: is specified, IPV4 is assumed.
File: lmtp/lmtp_connect.c.
Feature: added UNIX-domain support to the smtpstone test
programs in order to test the LMTP client UNIX-domain
support.
20001030
Bugfix: further testing in preparation for 19991231-pl10
revealed that the DB map code was now broken for every
platform.
20001031
Performance: the slow start (gradually increase number of
parallel connections to the same site) was too gentle and
Postfix would back off too quickly. Files: qmgr/qmgr_queue.c
and nqmgr/qmgr_queue.c.
20001101
FAQ update by Ralph Hildebrandt.
20001104
Portability: RedHat Linux has changed incompatibly, again.
Fixed with the help of Matthias Andree. File: makedefs.
20001109
Cleanup: changed prototype of internal function that did
not return a useful result. File: src/util/vstream_popen.c.
20001110
Workaround: the Debian post install script passes an open
file descriptor into the master server and waits forever.
Reported by Lamont Jones. File: master/master.c.
20001114
Compatibility: added sendmail -G (gateway submission) option
for compatibility with the sendmail rmail command. Requested
by David Gilbert, Velocet Communications.
20001116
Documentation: added MAILER-DAEMON to the list of sample
masquerade_exceptions settings in conf/sample-rewrite.cf.
Suggested by Karl O. Pinc, pop.artic.edu.
Performance: the slow start (gradually increase number of
parallel connections to the same site) was too gentle and
Postfix would back off too quickly. Files: qmgr/qmgr_queue.c
and nqmgr/qmgr_queue.c. Yup, changed the same code, again.
We now allow for a margin above the actual concurrency,
with the size of the initial destination concurrency.
Final solution by Patrik Rak.
Bugfix: the recipient home directory test broke mailbox_transport
support for non-UNIX recipients. File: local/recipient.c.
20001117
Robustness: additional integrity tests for the nqmgr by
Patrik Rak. File: nqmgr/qmgr_message.c.
20001118
Bugfix: the new LDAP client code did not work properly if
the new ldap_domain parameter was not specified. LaMont
Jones, HP. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
Feature: the soft_bounce safety net is extended to the SMTP
server. With "soft_bounce = yes", The SMTP server changes
all 5xx (reject) replies into 4xx (try again) replies.
Documentation: the virtual(5) man page now documents both
Postfix-style virtual domains and Sendmail-style virtual
domains, including their interaction with local usernames,
aliases and mailing lists. Hopefully, this ends some of
the confusion surrounding virtual domain support. Updated
several FAQ entries concerning virtual domain support.
Documentation: added FAQ entry for the biff service.
20001119
Bugfix: per-destination queue names were case sensitive so
that the same site could have multiple queues. Reported
by Patrik Rak. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
20001120
Bugfix: per-destination deferred mail logfiles were case
sensitive so that the same site could have multiple deferred
mail logfiles, so that not all mail would be flushed with
ETRN. Reported by Ralph Hildebrandt. Files: flush/flush.c.
Portability: added (int) casts to printf-like arguments
that specify the width of %*letter conversions. On some
systems, sizeof and pointer difference expressions are
wider than an int. Reported by Valentin Nechayev @ lucky.net.
20001121:
Compatibility: Postfix now retries delivery when an external
command is killed by a signal, because people expect such
behavior from Sendmail. File: global/pipe_command.c.
