+0.3.0

+- Hello, I'm meillo, the new maintainer and developer of masqmail. Oku
+handed masqmail over to me, as he wasn't active anymore. I will release
+new code with version numbers starting from 0.3.0 to ease dividing
+between oku's releases and mine.
+
+- This release includes various fixes for problems in 0.2.21, mainly
+based on bugs from Debian.
+
+- Distribution specific data has been excluded from the distribution,
+but is separately available on the website.
+
+- Man pages will not be generated from xml sources in future, but the
+nroff sources will be maintained directly.
+
+- The default online status file is now
+/var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route, as it already was in the Debian
+package.
+
+0.2.21
+
+- Retrospective: Probably, this version was not published in the usual
+way by oku. I (meillo) grabbed it from Debian's package archive. It does
+not introduce new functions but fixes security problems, such as writing
+log files as user `mail'. It also changes the location for pid files;
+they are stored in /var/run/masqmail/ now.
