| 27 | 28 The date of the first release (version 0.0.1) is unknown. The only information available is, that it was packaged for \debian\ at 15\nth\ of September in 1999. Further releases were made every few weeks or month during 2000, 2001 and 2002. Development ended in mid-2003 in a hard stop. The last release known to me is version 0.2.20, released on 4\nth\ of June in 2003. |
| 29 | |
| 30 During the time of development, Oliver released 53 versions. That means a new release in less than every 20 days in average! | |
| 31 | |
| 32 Mentionable are the four \emph{beta} releases of version 0.1.8 (named with the trailing letters `a' to `d') in winter 2000/2001 and the security-fix 0.1.15.1 in 2002. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 One extra release (version 0.2.21) was made by him in November 2005. This one is only available from the \debian\ pool. Comparing it to version 0.2.20 shows, that no source code was altered. Only building documents (like Makefiles) and \debian\ packageing documents were changed. That leeds to the assumption that this last release was specificly created for the needs of \debian---to fix some errors in the package. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 In May 2000 the minor version number increased to `1'. Nothing special is mentioned in the documentation about that. When it increased again to start the 0.2.x releases, Oliver titled them as the ``development branch'' of \masqmail. At that second time, he started developing the 0.2.x ``development branch'', continuing to work on the 0.1.x series. His parallel work on both branches lasted for four month, and one additional last release, numbered 0.1.17, one more year later. | |
