Hi All,

Version 2.29 is the last production version released to the general public.
Version 2.31 is the last beta and is stable enough for those that want it.

*** NOTE: ANYTHING beyond 2.31 is a hack and not recommended!

=== Cut ===
! Point of information
+ New feature
- Bug fix

Version 2.31
------------

! only the first 32K of message headers are scanned when applying rules
- fix updating of bundle counters for compressed mail
- make Rex more resistent to miscompiled nodelists
- Rex wasn't correctly removing local copies of files when MIRRORing an
  FTP directory
- change reporting an M_ERR during file receive as an unexpected command
  to an error
- request CRC and MD5 mode on connection for BinkP server
- DOS style T-Mail fileboxes for points weren't being properly read
- numbered packed archives under Linux weren't getting named properly
- POP3 logins could return invalid strings when no local hostname was
  configured under OS/2
- CAPA sent before login gave a spurious CAPA response in the POP3 server
- Rexcfg was crashing when configuring new newsgroups with no email addresses
  setup

Version 2.30
------------
! There is *no*... version 2.30.

Version 2.29
------------
October 21, 2001

+ dupe detection on gated messages can now be set at the gate itself instead
  of relying on the mail tosser
! UUCP processing in Rex's SMTP daemon can now handle infinite (limited by
  available memory) email address on one C rmail line
! Rex now lingers on the sockets for certain servers to allow clients
  which incorrectly blast data through to still work properly
- Rex wasn't properly constructing nodelist information for BinkP nodes
  which listed the site address after the flag instead of in the BBS name
- resend requests would result in queue entries which never got removed
  when they expired
- outbound FTP client connections now bind to port 20 locally in PASV mode
- Rex could crash if it couldn't create a new packet for inbound gated mail
- a SEAT message with only 2 of 3 required SEAT lines would crash Rex
- updated packing info was not being saved in 32 bit versions
- Rex now correctly processes multi-section UUencoded files with additional
  information between the section line and beginning of the file
- seems to fix an unreproducible problem where PX queue entries remained
  locked after unsuccessful connection attempts
- long subject lines in gated netmail messages could result in random message
  chunk sizes for attached files

Version 2.28
------------
May 5, 2001

+ added hosting delivery system for the SMTP server in UUCP mode
+ Rex for Windows can now be iconified to the system tray using the -tray
  commandline argument
! auto-configuration of Fidonet BinkP nodes now tries fidonet.net addresses
  if no machine name is provided
! changed -s b to default to sending to anonymous nodes
- config fixups
- fix SRIF file formatting for nodes with multiple configured addresses
- correctly terminate truncated messages in the POP3 daemon
- correct a problem with substring base64 decodings which could result in
  problems with SMTP AUTH logins
- if more than one "must run" event was queued up at Rex's startup, a race
  condition could occur where the first event never got run
- Rex for DOS wasn't noticing refused connections on asynchronous sockets
- workaround for a threading issue with WinServer which could result in Rex
  freezing after a send event where no files were sent (PX/Wins systems only)
- changed mailbox storage so that changing SMTP server UUCP storage format
  doesn't result in messages delivered with the old format being "lost"
- wdialup.rex wasn't being properly loaded if Rex was run from somewhere
  other than its install directory
- the POP3 server wasn't properly retrieving messages stored in a UUCP
  spool with a UUCICO format
- Rex wasn't processing inbound FREQs over BinkP 1.1 connections with
  multi-batch mode disabled
- FTP server security by IP was a bit overzealous
- manual sends to unlisted nodes weren't working
- correct a crash when viewing the queue with a session concurrent and at
  least one non-sent queue entry
