Changes since 4.07:
* fix `sed n' printing the last line twice.
* fix incorrect error message for invalid character classes.
* fix segmentation violation with repeated empty subexpressions.
* fix incorrect parsing of ^ after escaped (.
* more comprehensive test suite (and with many expected failures...)
Please note that since NetBSD's sed is available in a portable
version in pkgsrc as textproc/nbsed, and in bootstrap-pkgsrc I do
not consider this package as being low in the dependencies food-chain
anymore. This is especially true for platforms other than NetBSD.
So let me explicitly add dependencies on libiconv and gettext-lib packages
(if needed of course).
Major changes are:
* Setting reminders for specific TV shows or shortcuts (e.g. all your
favorite series.) The programmes are marked in the list (freely
configurable via composite attributes) and a message pops up before
it starts (also configurable, of course)
* Added a weekday scale to the right of the programme list which can
by used to quickly jump to any date and time. There's also a new
attribute element which markes each programme in the color of the
according weekday.
* Extended format capabilities for programme list: compound attributes
now can use freely defined colors (formerly only a small set of
pre-defined colors was available) and also change background colors.
* Improved text search dialog for large lists (i.e. your complete list
of favorite movie titles)
* Browsing expired programmes made possible, i.e. programme
descriptions are kept a few hours or days before they are removed
from the database (e.g. so that you can still look up details on
that movie you watched yesterday.)
Changes:
o The offline mode has been implemented.
o The performance of the scanning of MH folders has been improved on
the platforms which support d_type in 'struct dirent'.
o The error checking on moving/deleting messages has become strict.
o When getting IMAP4 message list, it now fallbacks to FETCH command
if server doesn't fully support SEARCH command.
o Outbox for accounts are now correctly chosen when sending from queue.
o Gettext has been upgraded to 0.12.1.
o IPv6 support is now enabled by default.
o Other bugfixes have been made.

such a small percentage of the values graphed that the DV line
indicator exceeded the graph width.
The ChangeLog is huge. Selected new features include:
* vote based kicking
* tunable game parameters like gravity and world size
* smarter bots
* world weapons
* bzadmin text client
* autopilot

And more... please review Changelog for a detailed list of changes.
pkgsrc changes:
o USE_X11BASE not needed anymore.
I'm sorry, only tested on NetBSD/FreeBSD x86, I need more hardware...
Major changes since 0.3:
* Improved Look
The default theme for Mozilla Thunderbird has taken a huge leap
forward. The theme is about 90% complete with only a few "classic"
looking icons remaining.
The message list pane now shows status for reply, forward and unread
as icons directly on the message envelope instead of using text.
The message list pane now has a separate sortable column for
attachment status on a message.
The Windows animated alert has a new look and feel. It now shows the
Account name instead of your server user name.
* Improved Interoperability With the OS
Linux: Thunderbird properly dispatches browser URLs to the default
browser. Read more about how to hook this up.
Mac OS X: Added a Windows menu which makes it easier to manage open
Thunderbird windows. The menu bar behaves correctly after closing all
open windows. Mozilla Firebird and Thunderbird can be run at the same
time with out the two builds interfering with URL dispatching between
applications.
Windows: Thunderbird can be set as the default mail client and/or as
the default news client.
* New Features
Windows users can copy and paste images (including screen shots) from
the Windows clipboard into HTML mail compose.
Only mark a message as read when it has been open in the preview pane
for a configurable number of seconds.
More options for customizing toolbars the way you want them.
Enchancements include: a mark button in the main mail window and
copy/cut/paste icons in mail compose.
Profile Migration from Netscape 4.x has seen a lot of improvements.
A Palm Sync Address book conduit extension is now available for
Thunderbird 0.4.
POP Accounts now support aging on the server.
* Recently Fixed Bugs
No more new mail alert notifications when the incoming messages are
Junk.
The progress bar now appears in the mail 3-pane window when reporting
progress for operations like downloading new mail or a message body.
Auto Proxy URLs now work.
POP Accounts: "Click here to download the rest of the message" now
works.
POP Accounts: A new filter action to delete a message from POP3 server
if messages are left on the server by default.
Junk Folder Purging works on all accounts and not just the first one.
If you configure a mail server to use secure authentication but the
server does not support it, Thunderbird no longer silently falls back
to insecure authentication. Thunderbird brings up an error dialog and
refuse to connect to the server.
News error dialogs no longer hang the application.
HTML Anchors in messages work.
When threads are sorted by date, Thunderbird sorts by the newest
message in the thread.
Also closes PR 23570.
Contains a library major bump.

Changes since 2.11:
distcc-2.11.2 "Muscovado" 2003-10-23
BUG FIXES:
* Correct the handling of --without-gnome. Reported by Dimitri
Papadopoulos.
* Fatal signal handlers for client and daemon should reset the
signal vector before doing anything else, to protect against an
(unlikely) spin if the signal is re-sent.
* Corrections to .desktop file from Dag Wieers.
INTERNAL:
* Remove dependency on libglade for GTK+ and GNOME monitor
programs.
PORTABILITY:
* IRIX portability fixes from Dimitri Papadopoulos.
* Use AC_TYPE_SIGNAL to generate correct signal handler return
types. (It can be either int or void.)
DOCUMENTATION:
* Various manual updates.
* Update to xinetd example from Dag Wieers.
distcc-2.11.1 "Burnt sugar" 2003-10-08
FEATURES:
* The graphical monitor can now be configured with either
--with-gnome or --with-gtk. In the second case, the GNOME
libraries are not used. In both cases the resulting program is
called distccmon-gnome and the functional differences are fairly
small.
BUG FIXES:
* An error message is emitted and compilation fails if distcc
cannot use the specified TMPDIR. This can happen if distccd is
started by root with a TMPDIR only accessible to root.
Reported by Brett Dikeman.
* GNOME data files are now only installed when the application is
configured with --with-gnome or --with-gtk. Files are installed
into a distcc/ subdirectory of the configured data directory.
(By default this is /usr/local/share/distcc/). Reported by Erik
Jan Tromp and Noe`l Ko"the.
* Fix bug in sending compressed files where errors were ignored.
* C++ compilation using -frepo must be local. Reported by Andrew
Slater.
PORTABILITY:

IRIX or Solaris. Reported by Frerich Raabe.
DOCUMENTATION:
* Corrections to distcc manpage reported by Lionel Sausin.
* Documentation of how to write monitor programs, from Frerich
Raabe.
INTERNAL:
* Fix state.h for use with C++. Patch from Frerich Raabe.
New in 0.8
This release adds --depth and --height options for vertical
positioning on webpages and whatnot. It also fixes some bugs, in
particular one that would hang dvipng in certain PostScript font
installs.
New in 0.7
This release focuses on PostScript and TrueType font support. If the
FreeType font library is present, dvipng will be able to render fonts
internally, rather than relying on gsftopk. This will reduce disk
clutter, especially when rendering at unusual resolutions.
1. There has been some re-arrangement of the code for the match() function so
that it can be compiled in a version that does not call itself recursively.
Instead, it keeps those local variables that need separate instances for
each "recursion" in a frame on the heap, and gets/frees frames whenever it
needs to "recurse". Keeping track of where control must go is done by means
of setjmp/longjmp. The whole thing is implemented by a set of macros that
hide most of the details from the main code, and operates only if
NO_RECURSE is defined while compiling pcre.c. If PCRE is built using the
"configure" mechanism, "--disable-stack-for-recursion" turns on this way of
operating.
To make it easier for callers to provide specially tailored get/free
functions for this usage, two new functions, pcre_stack_malloc, and
pcre_stack_free, are used. They are always called in strict stacking order,
and the size of block requested is always the same.
The PCRE_CONFIG_STACKRECURSE info parameter can be used to find out whether
PCRE has been compiled to use the stack or the heap for recursion. The
-C option of pcretest uses this to show which version is compiled.
A new data escape \S, is added to pcretest; it causes the amounts of store
obtained and freed by both kinds of malloc/free at match time to be added
to the output.
2. Changed the locale test to use "fr_FR" instead of "fr" because that's
what's available on my current Linux desktop machine.
3. When matching a UTF-8 string, the test for a valid string at the start has
been extended. If start_offset is not zero, PCRE now checks that it points
to a byte that is the start of a UTF-8 character. If not, it returns
PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF8_OFFSET (-11). Note: the whole string is still checked;
this is necessary because there may be backward assertions in the pattern.
When matching the same subject several times, it may save resources to use
PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK on all but the first call if the string is long.
4. The code for checking the validity of UTF-8 strings has been tightened so
that it rejects (a) strings containing 0xfe or 0xff bytes and (b) strings
containing "overlong sequences".
5. Fixed a bug (appearing twice) that I could not find any way of exploiting!
I had written "if ((digitab[*p++] && chtab_digit) == 0)" where the "&&"
should have been "&", but it just so happened that all the cases this let
through by mistake were picked up later in the function.
6. I had used a variable called "isblank" - this is a C99 function, causing
some compilers to warn. To avoid this, I renamed it (as "blankclass").
7. Cosmetic: (a) only output another newline at the end of pcretest if it is
prompting; (b) run "./pcretest /dev/null" at the start of the test script
so the version is shown; (c) stop "make test" echoing "./RunTest".
8. Added patches from David Burgess to enable PCRE to run on EBCDIC systems.
9. The prototype for memmove() for systems that don't have it was using
size_t, but the inclusion of the header that defines size_t was later. I've
moved the #includes for the C headers earlier to avoid this.
10. Added some adjustments to the code to make it easier to compiler on certain
special systems:
(a) Some "const" qualifiers were missing.
(b) Added the macro EXPORT before all exported functions; by default this
is defined to be empty.
(c) Changed the dftables auxiliary program (that builds chartables.c) so
that it reads its output file name as an argument instead of writing
to the standard output and assuming this can be redirected.
11. In UTF-8 mode, if a recursive reference (e.g. (?1)) followed a character
class containing characters with values greater than 255, PCRE compilation
went into a loop.
12. A recursive reference to a subpattern that was within another subpattern
that had a minimum quantifier of zero caused PCRE to crash. For example,
(x(y(?2))z)? provoked this bug with a subject that got as far as the
recursion. If the recursively-called subpattern itself had a zero repeat,
that was OK.
13. In pcretest, the buffer for reading a data line was set at 30K, but the
buffer into which it was copied (for escape processing) was still set at
1024, so long lines caused crashes.
14. A pattern such as /[ab]{1,3}+/ failed to compile, giving the error
"internal error: code overflow...". This applied to any character class
that was followed by a possessive quantifier.
15. Modified the Makefile to add libpcre.la as a prerequisite for
libpcreposix.la because I was told this is needed for a parallel build to
work.
16. If a pattern that contained .* following optional items at the start was
studied, the wrong optimizing data was generated, leading to matching
errors. For example, studying /[ab]*.*c/ concluded, erroneously, that any
matching string must start with a or b or c. The correct conclusion for
this pattern is that a match can start with any character.

Changes since 1.11.9:
*********************
SERVER SECURITY ISSUES
* Malformed module requests could cause the CVS server to attempt to create
directories and possibly files at the root of the filesystem holding the CVS
repository. Filesystem permissions usually prevent the creation of these
misplaced directories, but nevertheless, the CVS server now rejects the
malformed requests.
GENERAL USER ISSUES
* Case insensitive clients using a case sensitive server can now use a
`cvs rm -f file; cvs add FILE' command sequence to add a file with the same
name in a new case.
* CVSROOTs which contain a symlink to a real repository should work.
* The configure script now tests whether it is building CVS on a case
insensitive file system. If it is, CVS assumes that all file systems on this
platform will be case insensitive. This is useful for getting the case
insensitivity flag set correctly when compiling on Mac OS X and under Cygwin
on Windows. Autodetection can be overridden using the
--disable-case-sensitivity and --enable-case-sensitivity arguments to
configure.
* A behavior change in `cvs up -jrev1 -jrev2' for modified files with a base
revision of rev2 (ie, checked-out version matches rev2 and file has been
modified). The operation is no longer ignored and instead is passed to
diff3. This will potentially re-apply the diffs between the two revisions to
a modified local file. Status messages like from a standard merge have also
been added when the file would not or does not change due to this merge
request ("[file] already contains the changes between [revisions]...").
* A bug which could stop `cvs admin -mTAG:message' from recursing has been
fixed.
* Misc documentation cleanup and fixes.
* Some of the contrib scripts, some of the documentation, and sanity.sh were
modified to use and recommend more portable commands rather than using and
recommending commands which were not compatible with the POSIX 1003.1-2001
specification.
DEVELOPER ISSUES
* A new set of tests to test issues specific to case insensitive clients and
servers has also been added.
* Support has been added to the test suite to support testing over a :ext: link
to another machine, subject to some stringent requirements. This support can
be used, for instance, to test the operation of a case insensitive client
against a case sensitive server. Please see the comments in TEST and the
src/sanity.sh test script itself for more.
* We've standardized on Automake 1.7.9 to get a bug fix. See the note below
on the Autoconf upgrade for more details.
* We've standardized on Autoconf version 2.58 to avoid a bug and get at a few
new macros. Again, this should only really affect developers, though it is
possible that CVS will now compile on a few new platforms. Please see the
section of the INSTALL file about using the autotools if you are compiling
CVS yourself.
Changes from 1.11.8 to 1.11.9:
* CVS now knows how to report, as well as record, `P' record types.
* When running the `cvs history' command, clients will now send the
long-accepted `-e' option, for all records, rather than explicitly requesting
`P' record types, a request which servers prior to 1.11.7 will reject with a
fatal error message.
* A problem with locating files requested by case insensitive clients which was
accidentally introduced in 1.11.6 as part of a fix for a data loss problem
involving `cvs add's from case insensitive clients has been fixed. The
relevant error message was `cvs [<command> aborted]: filE,v is ambiguous;
could mean FILE,v or file,v'.
* Attempts to use the global `-l' option, removed from both client and server
as of version 1.11.6, will now elicit a warning rather than a fatal error
from the server.
Changes from 1.11.7 to 1.11.8:
* A problem in the CVS getpass library that could cause passwords to echo on
some systems has been fixed.
Changes from 1.11.6 to 1.11.7:
* A segfault that could occur in very rare cases where the stat of a file
failed during a diff has been fixed.
* Any user with write privleges to the CVSROOT/checkoutlist file could pass
arbitrary format strings directly through to a printf function. This was
probably bad and has been fixed. White space at the beginning of error strings
in checkoutlist is now ignored properly.
* In client/server mode, most messages from CVS now contain the actual
command name rather than the generic "server".
* A long-standing bug that prevented most client/server updates from being
logged in the history file has been fixed.
* Updates done via a patch ("P" status) are now logged in the history file
by default and the corresponding "P" history record type is now documented.
If you're setting the LogHistory option in your CVSROOT/config file, you may
want to add "P" to the list of record types.
* CVS now will always compile and its own getpass() function (originally from
GNULIB) in favor of any system one that may exist. This avoids some problems
with long passwords on some systems and updates us to POSIX.2 compliance, since
getpass() was removed from the POSIX.2 specification.
* A bug that allowed a write lock to be created in a directory despite
there being existing read locks when using LockDir in CVSROOT/config has
been fixed.
* A bug with short patches (`rdiff -s') which caused rdiff to sometimes report
differences that did not exist has been fixed.
* Some minor corrections were made to the diff code to keep diff & rdiff from
printing diff headers with empty change texts when two files have different
revision numbers but the same content.
* The global '-l' option, which suppressed history logging, has been removed
from both client and server.
Changes since 0.12.5:
* Yet another unreadable file non-root regress bug fix.
* Added --list-increment-sizes option from the development branch.
Previously this option was in the man page but was omitted in the code
(thanks to Michael Schwendt for report).
* Regressing and restoring should now take less memory when processing
large directories (noticed by Luke Mewburn and others).
* When regressing, remove mirror_metadata and similar increments first.
This will hopefully help regressing a backup that failed because disk
was full (reported by Erik Forsberg).
* Fixed rather important quoting problem: quoting directives like
--windows-mode were simply ignored when rdiff-backup was running
remotely! I'm surprised no one noticed this. Are none of you using
--windows-mode or similar?
* Fixed handling of (lack of) daylight savings time. Earlier bug would
cause some files to be marked an hour later. Thanks to Troels Arvin
and Farkas Levente for bug report.
