Changes - razor-agents

=head1 2.40 (Dec 07, 2003) 

=over 4 

=item * 

Applied another Makefile.PL patch from Michael Schwern to correctly
install manpages in part 5 of the manual set in various versions of perl.

=item * 

Applied patch from Mark Martinec and Vivek Khera of Amavid to untaint
various file targets obtained from user input. This is the same patch pointed
to by the SpamAssassin FAQ
[http://www.spamassassin.org/released/Razor2.patch]

=item * 

Support for HTTP 1.1 tunneling [SF patch #821324] by Jon Schewe.

=item *

Applied Anne Bennett's patch to Logger.pm to introduce a new log
target, "syslog-sys", that talks to Syslog over a Unix socket rather
than a TCP socket.

=item * 

Applied Anne Bennett's patch to deHTML.xs to get rid of the type
mismatch warning.

=item *

Removed computation of signatures that are no longer supported by the
backend -- engines 1, 2 and 3. Digest::Nilsimsa no longer required by
Razor Agents.

=back

=head1 2.36 (Aug 05, 2003)

=over 4

=item *

Removed some experimental code.

=back

=head1 2.35 (Aug 05, 2003)

=over 4

=item *

Applied a patch to Makefile.PL by Michael Schwern. This patch makes
Makefile.PL compatible with new MakeMaker and behave better in general.

=item *

C++ style comments in deHTML code replaced with C comments so the code
compiles with C compilers other than GCC.

=item *

Applied patch [SF patch #766292] by Suren A. Chilingaryan to detect and
skip body parts that only contain MIME headers.

=back

=head1 2.34 (May 16, 2003)

=over 4

=item *

Fixed a bug where razor-check would terminate prematurely on messages for
which it could not compute a signature. Thanks to Bela Lubkin for tracking
this and several other bugs down! [vipul]

=item * 

We don't do server sorting by distance anymore. Most servers are closeby,
so we use the order the discovery server gives us. [vipul]

=item * 

Introduced SOCKS support. Net::SOCKS is required in order to use SOCKS.
Specify socks_server in the config file. [vipul]

=item *

Fixed a bug in String::split_mime(); the MIME boundry was being spuriously
set in certain cases. [SF bug #707850 by Jams H Thompson]. [vipul]

=item * 

Razor agents use getpwuid() instead of getlogin() to determine the user's
home directory. [SF bug #650410 by Jochen Erwied]. [vipul]

=item * 

A bug in the selection of zone prefixes in bootstrap discovery was fixed.
[SF bug #604679 by Bill Sobel] [vipul]

=item * 

Razorhome is gleaned from the config file passed to razor-agents, if all
else fails. "razor-report -conf=/etc/razor/razor.conf spam" will use
/etc/razor as its home if no other home is found (eg in $HOME/.razor).
To force a particular Razorhome value, use the -home=path option. [vipul]

=item *

Rewrote many error messages to be descriptive and helpful. [vipul]

=item * 

auth=ai provides client name and version. [vipul]

=item * 

discover() will force bootstrap discovery when all discovery servers are
unavailable. This fixes a bug where by razor-agents would try to connect 
to the old Razor2 discovery server found in servers.discovery.lst. [vipul]

=item * 

reportit() in background mode will return faster. [vipul]

=item *

checkit(), reportit(), parse_mbox(), etc take an ARRAY hash as an argument
when provided against the `aref' key. [vipul]

=back

=head1 2.22 (Nov 21 2002)

=over 4

=item * 

Turned off verbose logging in ehash that was left on by mistake. [vipul]

=item * 

Some user contributed additions to the FAQ.

=back



=head1 2.21 (Nov 19 2002) 

=over 4

=item *

Ephemeral Hash reverts to the entire content when both sections are
composed of whitespace. This makes a certain type of false positives go
away. [vipul]

=item *

Razor2::Client::Core skips whitespace only message parts. [vipul]

=item *

DebugLevel 15 prints out the content after preprocessing, just before the
signatures are computed. [vipul]

=back



=head1 2.20 (Oct 15, 2002) (First Stable Version)

=over 4

=item * 

If log file isn't writable for whatever reason, we write logs to
/dev/null. [vipul]

=item * 

We look for stray C<\r>'s in the split_mime function. Thanks to 
Jim <jim@ironchicken.org> for pointing this out. [vipul]

=item * 

Added a significantly faster XS version of deHTML code. [vipul]

=item * 

Made ::Agent taint friendly. [vipul]

=item * 

Added support for passing an already open filehandle to C<::Agent::checkit()>
and C<::Agent::parse_mbox()> [vipul]

=item * 

Made logic_method 4 the default. [vipul]

=item * 

Added Razor2::Syslog to the package. [vipul]

Improved logic for detecting spam, now we only

Mime parts cleaned to only whitespace are now ignored on 
the client side,
that is, they are not checked against server

Added deNewline.pm to the tarball.  It was missing from 2.06. [vipul]

=back

=head1 2.06 (June 15, 2002)

=over 4

=item * 

Added a deNewline preprocessor that removes trailing C<\n>s. Reflected the
change in the server code as well. The reason for this is that MUAs (like
mutt) strip trailing C<\n>'s so there's no way to get to the original
message. This change necessitates upgrade from old 2.x agents. [vipul]

=item * 

Fixed a bug in Config.pm to use EUID instead of UID to discover user's
Razor config directory. Thanks to Theo Van Dinter <felicity@kluge.net> for
the patch. [vipul]

Logs to stdout if -d (debuggin) cmd-line option is used. [chad]
