Hello All!

A new SoupGate 1.05beta is now publically available. It's still beta
because the Linux versions of SoupGate/Spoon apparently still have a few
problems.

You can get it at http://members.xoom.com/tomtorfs/soupgate.html>.

New in SoupGate v1.05/á-1999-11-07

NOTE: this beta release is there to fix several serious bugs;
the people who requested new features will need some more
patience.

* Fixed several bugs in ArcMail mode, causing messages
  not to be exported and net/node numbers to be wrong
  (reported by Richard Menedetter, Simon Avery, and
   probably a lot of other people)

* Some mailers apparently insert CR/LF pairs instead
  of only a CR in MSG files; SoupGate now compensates
  for this erroneous behaviour
  (reported by Simon Avery)

* Fixed bug in SoupGate that would cause hosted mailing
  list messages and commands to be processed normally
  even if they were detected as being junk mail; this
  could cause quite an interesting game of virtual tennis
  between SoupGate and "Mail Delivery Subsystem"...

* Fixed bug in SoupGate that caused unwanted quoted-printable
  translation in header fields (e.g. name=34567890.123 became
  name"567890.123)

* For non-existing directories, also prints which keyword is
  associated with it

* Fixed bug in Linux version of SoupGate that caused error 
  messages when TempDir was not defined and the TEMP
  environment variable was not found

* Fixed some serious bugs in the Linux version of Spoon
  (all Spoon versions are now beta, no longer alpha)

* Added an average CPS counter to Spoon

* Removed the message size check from Spoon, because
  several POP3 servers gave incorrect results

* Spoon now deletes messages directly after they are
  fetched from the POP3 server, not in batch anymore
  (requested by Peter Lacus)

* Added option to fetch mail only from certain email
  addresses from the POP3 server in Spoon

* Updated the email address information in the documentation

New in SoupGate v1.05/á-1999-08-04

* At last: Linux support! See soupgate.tgz for included
  glibc2 versions (or download sg105_s.tgz for statically
  linked versions). The default configuration filename etc.
  has been changed to lowercase (Soup and mail files etc.
  have not because they are specified as uppercase).

* The format of the soupgate.dat written in the netmail
  directory if you use an Arcmail-style outbound with
  the QuickScan feature has changed. However, SoupGate
  will automatically replace this file with the new
  format upon the first soupgate export command, and
  the new format has been designed so that should you
  move back to an older version there shouldn't be
  any problems either, so normally you won't need to
  manually delete or modify soupgate.dat.

* Includes Spoon v1.00, a replacement for Souper. Very
  primitive at the moment. Versions available for OS/2,
  Win32 and Linux (glibc2 version included, download
  sp100_s.tgz for a statically linked version).
  WARNING TO THE BETATESTERS: ONLY THE OS/2 VERSION HAS
  BEEN TESTED YET --- the Win32 and Linux versions are
  to be considered ALPHA versions, even though they
  are included in this BETA package. Please report
  your findings with Win32 and Linux.
  A DOS version for Spoon is not available because there
  is no decent standardized TCP/IP interface for DOS.

* Because of Spoon inclusion, removed Souper from archive.

* Reply-To: no longer written if same as From: address
  (requested by Widjoen Pradjitno)

* AreaMap area and newsgroup names are now case insensitive
  (requested by Sean Rima)

* Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access bug that didn't show
  up until the port to linux
