VERSIONS,v 1.3 1995/07/22 22:49:53 kim Exp

This document describes how version numbers are handled within TULP.
Should this help you have upgrade processes as easy as possible.
At the end of this document, you'll find the history of the releases.

       4.0.0
       ! ! !
       ! ! +- Patchlevel (counts up on every single release)
       ! +--- New minor features (e.g. options in config)
       +----- Major features and rewrites (new functionality)

Patchlevel

        Count up the patchlevel number to distinguish between the
        various releases.  This is important so we can tell if the
        problem someone is experiencing is already supposed to be
        fixed in his/her version.

New minor features

        Count up with new features that will not need anything to be
        changed in configuration.  New features in this class should
        have the old behaviour as default.  Anyone can upgrade at this
        level without needing to change any files.

Major features and rewrites

        Count up with such new functionality and features that require
        changes in any of the configuration files.  This includes all
        the list configuration files and MTA files (like sendmail.cf,
        aliases, etc).

History

 4.2.0  95/08  Code cleanup

 4.1.0  95/07  Corrected a file descriptor leakage in l.c (fix sent
               by Simo.Nikula@lut.fi).

               Added suggestions to the INSTALL file (from Roger L.
               Nelson <rnelson@wsuaix.csc.wsu.edu>).

               The lists are now sorted by hostnames and then by users
               rather than a strictly alphabetical order.  Added tulp_m
               script to allow easy moderation of articles (wolf).

               Jean-Claude.Giese@loria.fr).

               Queue is now reporting problems to the syslog.

               l.c sendMsg had a too small buffer. Reported by
               Odile.Germes@univ-rennes1.fr.

 4.0.0  94/07  Changed handling of the queue, little cleanup, fixed a
               serious security bug (reported by Rich Ervin
               <rervin@tnt.microimages.com>).
