Whitespace steganography
The program snow is used to conceal messages in ASCII text by
appending whitespace to the end of lines. Because spaces and tabs are
generally not visible in text viewers, the message is effectively
hidden from casual observers. And if the built-in encryption is used,
the message cannot be read even if it is detected.
What's in a name?
snow exploits the steganographic nature of whitespace. Locating
trailing whitespace in text is like finding a polar bear in a
snowstorm (which, by the way, explains the logo). And it uses the ICE
encryption algorithm, so the name is thematically consistent.
Changes since last packaged version (0.2.12): this
changes list comes from the NEWS file in the distribution tarball
and some changes are listed under section "Changes in scli 0.3.2"
even if the advertised version is 0.3.1. And more these changes
are effectively present in the 0.3.1 version!?
Changes in scli 0.3.2:
- new "show bridge vlan info" command
- new "show bridge vlan details" command
- removed the SNMP specific option which are now provided by gsnmp
- dropped getopt in favour of glib's option parsing library
- reworked the behaviour on an non-interactive tty (aka protocol mode)
- minor bug fixes plus some new bugs
Changes in scli 0.3.1:
- many new commands (I am too lazy to list them here)
- scli now uses gsnmp which uses gnet
- IPv6 support and some SNMP over TCP support
- some initial support for SNMP URLs
- minor bug fixes plus some new bugs

Changes since last packaged version (2.0.3):
Version 2.0.6 - 7 October 2007

incorrect format and this caused an error in some mail servers.
Version 2.0.5 - 4 October 2007
------------------------------
- Bug fix; an error in the sample extensions file.
- Bug fix; typo errors in the manual page.
- The documentation was updated with details and examples on how to access
mailboxes inside folders.
- Examples were added on how to define composite filters that include multiple
searching rules.
Version 2.0.4 - 27 September 2007
---------------------------------
- Bug fix; the send_query() method didn't return the special form of table that
the rest of the searching methods did.
- An additional searching method has been added to search for keyword flags
set.
- A new variable that was added to the Makefile makes it possible to set an
alternative environment for the installation path.
* IDLE: Interval between mailbox change notifies is now 1 second,
because some clients keep a long-running IDLE connection and use
other connections to actually read the mails.
* SORT: If Date: header is missing or broken, fallback to using
INTERNALDATE (as the SORT draft nowadays specifies).
+ deliver: If message begins with a "From " line, ignore it.
+ zlib plugin: If maildir file has a "Z" flag, open it with zlib.
- CREATE: Don't assert-crash if trying to create namespace prefix.
- SEARCH: Fixes to handling NOT operator with sequence ranges.
- LDAP reconnection fixes
- Maildir: Don't break when renaming mailboxes with '*' or '%'
characters and children.
- mbox: Fixed "file size unexpectedly shrinked" error in some
conditions.
- quota+mbox: Don't fail if trying to delete a directory.
- Fixes to running from inetd
The holder of the Ion3(tm) trademark and copyright demands that
this package must be kept up-to-date at all times. We cannot comply
with such demands, especially considering that pkgsrc has
"stable branches".
(If anyone cares about this package, I suggest we maintain it in
pkgsrc-wip instead.)
