WaterGate Development Update
Malmoe, 19 May 1997

The next public release of WaterGate, version 0.93, is nearing
completion now. A release is expected by the beginning of next
month. About time, because the last public release is dated
October 1996..

Here is what you can expect:

* The gateway will produce MIME message, using quoted-printable
  encoding and transparant international character set translation
  to support languages with accented characters.

* Direct support for processing downloaded POP3 mailbox files,
  allowing for both single-user and multi-user POP3.

* Ability for better area structuring and easier configuration
  through 128 groups instead of 26, a completely rewritten system
  menu structure, a separation of users and other message providing
  mechanisms, a file manager to pick paths and files and a lot more.

* Automatically importing messages for BBS users in a designated
  area or routing through a certain user (for secondary tossers).

* Direct support for WildCat message bases and improved support for
  Squish message bases.

* A BBS Interface for easy integration with BBSs that do not use
  the support message base formats.

* Option to automatically kill spam articles.

* Loads of bug fixes, improvements and other new features in the
  entire package.

* An OS/2 version!

It is not certain yet whether the OS/2 version will be released at
the same time as the DOS version. If not, then it will be released
a few weeks later.
