+Here I add changes which may be important for you. See ChangeLog for more
+details and the manual pages for a more complete description
+of added options.
+
+0.2.18
+
+- delivery warnings and failures are now also implermented if the
+connection to a server fails. Because masqmail is designed for dialup
+networks, a connection failure will merely generate a warning by default.
+If you deliver in a local network and use the default local_net route,
+this would generte a failure. You can change this behaviour by setting
+connect_error_fail
+to either true or false in the route configurations.
+
+0.2.17
+
+- delivery warnings have been finally implemented: if delivery of a mail
+fails temporarily, warning mail will be generated, informing the sender
+of the problem. After some time, the mail will be handled as failing
+permanently, and be bounced. New options: 'warn_intervals',
+'max_defer_time' and 'warnmsg_file'.
+
+- the message templates for failures and warnings will now be installed
+into /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/, and no longer to /etc/masqmail/tpl/. The
+default for the search path (options 'errmsg_file' and 'warnmsg_file'
+has been changed accordingly.
+
+- new option 'last_route'. See man 5 masqmail.route.
+
+0.2.12
+two new options have been added:
+- do_pipelining will be used only in broken mail setups. Actually, I
+implemented it only to test such a setup.
+
+- helo_name for routes sets the helo_name. This may be useful for
+eg. ssh tunneling, or if do_correcthelo does not work, because you are
+behind a firewall.
+
+- the old 'remote_port' option should not be used any more. Set the
+port with mail_host="foo.bar.com:1234" in the route file instead.
+
+0.2.11
+
+- two new options have been added: do_save_envelope_to for the main
+configuration and map_h_mail_followup_to_addresses for the route
+files. See the man pages on purpose and usage.
+
+- the route files can now be mode 0400, owned by root. Previous
+versions had problems when sendmail was called directly by a
+non-priviledged user, because the route files could not be read.
+
+0.2.10
+
+- this version should work on FreeBSD. At least I care now if it does not.
+
+- masqmail now writes pid files to /var/run/, one for the smtp/queue
+daemon and one for the get daemon. So you now know whom to kill ;-)
+
+- much effort has been put into the Debian package, which now uses debconf.
+
+0.2.7
+
+- sorry for my reluctany in the last months...
+- my email address is oku@masqmail.cx. I hope that I keep this for the rest
+of my life...
+
+0.2.6
+
+- you can configure the prefered local delivery mechanism for each user. See
+man page masqmail.conf (5), options mbox_default, mbox_users, mda_users and
+maildir_users. BIT FAT NOTE: if you used an mda, set mbox_default = "mda"
+(or use the mda_users option). Just setting mda is not enough any more.
+
+- there are the allowed_return_paths and not_allowed_return_paths for the
+route configurations, this enables better checking for return path addresses
+than allowed_mail_locals. You can also use this to enable or disable messages
+from null sender addresses (<>) using "<>".
+note: this option has been there for quite a time... I just forgot to document it.
+
+0.2.5
+
+- simple relay checking: if you set do_relay=false in masqmail.conf, users
+with a return path that is not local will get a 550 reply if they try to
+deliver to a not local address. This is for users to force them to have a
+proper configuration. It is _not_ to prevent spammers from using your MTA
+as a relay, it can be easily forged! masqmail is not designed to be an always
+accessible MTA for an internet site.
+
+- added Maildir support. To use it, add --enable-maildir as ./configure
+optiom. Currently, if enabled, all local deliveries are to Maildir
+(in ~user/Maildir), and none to mailbox. This is preliminary, future versions
+will be configurable (probably together with mda delivery).
+
+0.2.4 
+
+- added -v option, this logs to stdout, so you see what happens when
+calling masqmail from command line. This is not yet finished, and only
+for fetching mails completed.
+
+0.2.3
+
+- new option lock_dir where locks will be put to. Defaults to the spool
+dir with '/lock/' appended (if spool_dir is /var/spool/masqmail/, lock_dir
+is /var/spool/masqmail/lock/).
+
+- You can use the 'do_uidl_dele' option more reliably. The uidl list
+will be written immediately after a message was fetched, so if you use the
+do_uidl and do_uidl_dele option you can safely interrupt masqmail when it is
+getting mail via pop3, and do not get the message again next time.
+
+- there are a lot of new options for ./configure to customize masqmail
+to your needs. See INSTALL.
+
+- Uli Funcke sent a patch with the new options 'local_addresses' and
+'not_local_addresses' for masqmail.conf. With these, you can declare single
+email addresses as local, though they normally are not, and vice versa,
+declare addresses as not local though normally they are (determined with
+local_hosts). These options are not yet documented.
+
+0.2.2
+- with -go5m you can now run a get daemon, the command 'masqmail -go5m' will fetch
+mail every five minutes, using the detected online configuration.
+
+0.2.1
+
+- there is a new option for the main conf: online_gets. Using this option,
+you can retrieve mail with just calling masqmail -go, masqmail will detect
+whether it is online (similar to conect_routes (which is now called
+online_routes)).
+
+0.2.0
+
+This is the first release of he development branch of masqmail
+
+- the default configuration is now /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf
+  (as it already was for the debian package). The --with-conffile
+  option for configure has been replaced by the --with-confdir option.
+
+- added delivery failure notices:
+  o you can customize your own delivery failure report, its
+    default location is /etc/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl
+  o if a delivery via a route fails permanently (the server replied with a 5xx status)
+    the message will be bounced, if it is bounced, no further delivery will be attempted.
+    This is different to previous versions, where failed messages were kept in the queue until
+    it was finally delivered, deleted or forever.
+
+- there is a new online detection method: pipe. This allows you more
+  flexibility to detect the current online status, eg. the DHCP status on notebooks.
+
+This method will once replace the 'mserver' option,
+you can already use the program mservdetect to use it:
+
+online_method=pipe
+online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 222"
+
+instead of
+
+online_etect=mserver
+mserver_iface="localhost:222"
+
+0.1.9
+
+- you can use pipes in routes to implement gateways to uucp, fax, sms etc.
+The setup is similar to mda transport. See man pages.
+
+- for each connection (connect_routes), you can now give a list of
+route files, which will be used in the order given. You can use the
+filter rules (allowed_* and not_allowed_* rules) within each route.
+
+0.1.8
+
+- for pop retrieval and smtp sending you can use a wrapper for eg. ssl
+tunneling. See man pages.
+
+- a user can delete his mail from the spool with -Mrm if received
+locally, and if you configure with --enable-ident and set
+ident_trusted_nets also if received via smtp.
+
+- a backslash now works to escape characters in the configuration, so
+you can now use quotes inside quotes. All other characters with a
+leading backslash will be converted to itself (\a becomes a, \\
+becomes \).
+
+- you can now use an mda for local mails. The mda will be called
+*after* alias expansion. See documentation for more.
+
+0.1.0
+- masqmail can now retrieve mail with pop3. See the manual on how to do that.
+- supports now ESMTP AUTH as a client.
+- when called with -qo (without a connection name), the online status
+will be checked with the configured method.
+
+0.0.10
+- there is now alias support. Give the location of the alias file (usually /etc/aliases) with eg.
+alias_file = "/etc/aliases"
+- delivery to pipes is now possible, but only if it appears in an alias file. Example:
+pipe: |/usr/bin/command
+will expand the address pipe to "|/usr/bin/command" which invokes '/usr/bin/command'
+as the user and group masqmail is running as.
+- entries starting with '\' in alias files will not be exanded further
+
+- changed permissions for queue runs again: got to be root, mail or in group trusted.
+
+- some configuration parameters can be read from files, these are
+allowed_mail_locals, not_allowed_mail_locals, allowed_rcpt_domains, not_allowed_rcpt_domains,
+map_return_path_addresses, map_h_from_addresses, map_h_reply_to_addresses
+any entry in these list beginning with a '/' are regarded as
+filenames, the content of these will be put at that location. Entries
+in these files are separated by new lines.  Example:
+in the route file you have:
+map_h_from_addresses = "/etc/masqmail/hfrom.map"
+and hfrom.map contains:
+
+john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu>
+cmiller: "Charlie Miller" <cmiller@foo.com>
+
+UPDATE (Jan 2000): The new home location of MasqMail is
+http://www.innominate.org/~oku/masqmail/, the new email adress of the
+author is Oliver Kurth <kurth@innominate.de>.
+
+0.0.9
+- see ChangeLog.
+
+NOTE: The home location of MasqMail at
+http://merlin.uni-sw.gwdg.de/~okurth/masqmail/ is uncertain from the
+beginning of Nov. 1999! See http://www.freshmeat.net for new
+announcements. I leave the university and begin a new job on Nov. 1st 1999
+in Berlin :-).

+0.0.7:
+-bug fix release: for statements in two	adjacent lines, the second was not recognized.
+
+0.0.6:
+- bug fix release: some MUAs (cucipop) saw the locally delivered mails
