28 The date of the first release (version 0.0.1) is unknown.
|
|
meillo@47
|
29 The only information available is, that it was packaged for \debian\ at 15\nth\ of September in 1999.
|
|
meillo@47
|
30 Further releases were made every few weeks or month during 2000, 2001 and 2002.
|
|
meillo@47
|
31 Development ended in mid-2003 in a hard stop.
|
|
meillo@62
|
32 The last ordinary release known to me is version 0.2.20, released on 4\nth\ of June in 2003.

|
34 During the time of development, Oliver released 53 versions.
|
|
meillo@47
|
35 That means a new release in less than every 20 days in average!
|
|
meillo@27
|
36
|
|

|
37 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.
|

|
39 One extra release (version 0.2.21) was made by him in November 2005.
|
|
meillo@47
|
40 This one is only available from the \debian\ pool.
|
|
meillo@47
|
41 Comparing it to version 0.2.20 shows, that no source code was altered.
|
|
meillo@47
|
42 Only building documents (like Makefiles) and \debian\ packageing documents were changed.
|
|
meillo@47
|
43 That leeds to the assumption that this last release was specificly created for the needs of \debian---to fix some errors in the package.
|
|

|
45 In May 2000 the minor version number increased to `1'.
|
|
meillo@47
|
46 Nothing special is mentioned in the documentation about that.
|
|
meillo@47
|
47 When it increased again to start the 0.2.x releases, Oliver titled them as the ``development branch'' of \masqmail.
|
|
meillo@47
|
48 At that second time, he started developing the 0.2.x ``development branch'', continuing to work on the 0.1.x series.
|
|
meillo@47
|
49 His parallel work on both branches lasted for four month, and one additional last release, numbered 0.1.17, one more year later.
