 2.  Updated copyright to 2001 on remaining files.


Changes from 4.0b17 to 4.0b18:
------------------------------
 1.  Fixed problems compiling with Kerberos 5.
 2.  Slight improvement when /dev/urandom not installed.


Changes from 4.0b16 to 4.0b17:
------------------------------
 1.  Added 'max-bulletins' integer option.
 2.  Added new 'samples' directory to distribution.  Put sample
     configuration file there, which lists all run-time options
     with a description of each.
 3.  Checking for lk5crypto/lcrrypto when using Kerberos 5.
 4.  Tracefile records now include year.
 5.  HUP now closes and reopens trace file in standalone mode.
 6.  Standalone mode no longer aborts on weird accept() errors.


Changes from 4.0b15 to 4.0b16:
------------------------------
 1.  Fix typo with fast_update.


Changes from 4.0b14 to 4.0b15:
------------------------------
 1.  Boolean options set to 'true' (instead of '1') now working again.
 2.  Can now change trace file.
 3.  Reduced debug tracing when _DEBUG not defined.
 4.  Fixed XTND XMIT.
 5.  Now closing trace file if opened when 'debug' reset.
 6.  Added 'chunky-writes' config file option; mnemonics: 'default',
     'always' (same as 'default'), 'never', 'tls', and 'ssl' (same as
     'tls').
 7.  Added 'no-atomic-open'.  When set, Qpopper uses a method of
     opening lock files that may work over NFS.
 8.  Fixed retry count in maillock trace record.
 9.  Added 'log-facility' configuration file option (-y command-line
     flag) to specify log facility to use.  Values are "mail", and
     "local0" through "local7".  Note that standalone daemon entries are
     not affected by this setting (they still use the compile-time
     value.) Also, popauth does not use this value (it uses the compile-
     time value).
10.  Added 'log-login' configuration file option.  Value is a string
     which is written to the log when a user logs in.  An occurrence of
     '%0' is replaced with the Qpopper version, '%1' with the user name,
     '%2' with the user's host name, and '%3' with the IP address.


Changes from 4.0b13 to 4.0b14:
------------------------------

 4.  Converted NO_AUTOMIC_OPEN define into no_atomic_open run-time
     variable.
 5.  Finished conversion of various compile-time defines into run-time
     variables.
 6.  No longer hiding messages deleted in prior aborted session when
     '--disable-update-abort' set.
 7.  Fixed syntax error in pop_user.c when APOP not set.
 8.  Save original group ID and use it instead of modified group
     (which is normally set to group MAIL) to avoid errors in
     determining group bulletin target.
 9.  Added new configuration file options: announce-login-delay,
     announce-expire, bulldir, bulldb-nonfatal, bulldb-max-tries,
     clear-text-password, config-file, debug, downcase-user, drac-host,
     kerberos, kerberos-service, mail-lock-check, reverse-lookup,
     server-mode, statistics, timeout, tracefile, user-options,
     spool-options, fast-update, trim-domain, tls-support,
     tls-cipher-list, tls-version, tls-identity-file, tls-passphrase,
     tls-server-cert-file, tls-private-key-file, timing,
     check-old-spool-loc, check-hash-dir, check-password-expired,
     update-status-headers, update-on-abort, auto-delete,
     group-bulletins, hash-spool, home-dir-mail, old-style-uid,
     UW-kluge, keep-temp-drop, group-server-mode, group-no-server-mode,
     auth-file, nonauth-file, shy, mail-command, spool-dir, temp-dir,
     temp-name, cache-dir, cache-name.

 6.  Updated License.txt file.
 7.  Moved some globals inside -p- structure.
 8.  Made BOOL char instead of int to save some memory.
 9.  Rewrote genpath() to collapse code and handle hash_spool and
     homedirmail being run-time options.
10.  New run-time variables (initialized from compile-time defaults):
     bDo_timing, bCheck_old_spool_loc, bCheck_hash_dir, bCheck_pw_max,
     bUpdate_status_hdrs, bUpdate_on_abort, bAuto_delete, bGroup_bulls,
     hash_spool, bHome_dir_mail, bOld_style_uid, bUW_kluge, bKeep_temp_drop,
     grp_serv_mode, grp_no_serv_mode, authfile, nonauthfile, bShy,
     pMail_command, pCfg_spool_dir, pCfg_temp_dir, pCfg_temp_name,
     pCfg_cache_dir, pCfg_cache_name.
11.  Moved genpath.[ch] from common/ to popper/ (since it takes POP*
     parameter now).
12.  Now generating "<blockquote type=cite>" instead of "<blockquote>"
     when mangling f=f to html.
13.  Rewrote config file option handling to make it easier to add new
     options.
14.  When DEBUG set, trace elapsed time and verify octet and line counts.
15.  Implemented chunky_writes run-time option.
16.  Added error checking when sending TLS/SSL data to client.
17.  Eliminated redundant calls on pop_write with no data.
18.  Added '--enable-chunky-writes=0|1|2' to specify when nw writes
     should be pooled.  Default is 0 (always); 1=TLS only; 2=never.
19.  Fixed warnings/errors on BSDI and Linux.

     line when SSL not in use.


Changes from 4.0a7 to 4.0a8:
----------------------------

 1.  Ensure daemon terminates on signal, by making listen file
