FIDOGATE release 3.9.5
----------------------

Very likely this will be the last FIDOGATE release for quite a
while. I'm moving to a new job and won't have much time for FIDOGATE
maintenance during the next few months.


Changes:

	* Documentation update!
	  New programs, new config files, example node configuration


New features:

	* rfc2ftn: parse "user@do.main (Name) writes:" and others at
	  start of message for full name of FTN recipient.

	* ftn2rfc: also check for ifmail's ^ARFC-Message-ID.

	* Some new scripts (directory scripts/).


Bugs fixed:

	* ftn2rfc: Cc, Bcc headers in FTN message now work.

	* ftninpost, ffxrmail: sendmail command needs -oi option.


FIDOGATE release 3.9.4
----------------------

Changes:

	* MAUS gateway support:
	  - Fido->Internet removed, obsoleted by ^AREPLYADDR
	  - maus config file removed, replaced by `MAUSDomain' and
	    `MAUSGate' in config.gate

	* Maximum message size can be controlled by config statement
	  `MaxMsgSize' and on a per area basis using the -M SIZE
	  option in AREAS

	* New config files!
	  - Gateway config file "config.gate": ftn2rfc, ftnin, rfc2ftn
	  - Main config file "config.main": ftn2ftn, ftnaf, ftnbounce,
	    ftnbsy, ftnhatch, ftnlock, ftnlog, ftnpack, ftnroute,
	    ftnseq, ftntick, ftntoss, out-attach
	  - FFX progs config file "config.ffx": ffx, ffxbatch, ffxqt
	  config files can be `include'd


New features:

	* Bounce Fido->Internet mail from hosts marked as down,
	  new bounce message `bounce.down'

	* ftnhatch/ftntick!
	  Process file networks and TIC files, using FAREAS.BBS 


Bugs fixed:

	* White space at start of argument to unknown config statements

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is FIDOGATE, a gateway software between the worlds of FIDO (and
FTNs, Fido Technology Networks in general) NetMail/EchoMail and the
UNIX mail/news system. FIDOGATE will convert FIDO mail packets to
RFC-style messages and vice versa.

See file doc/fidogate.txt or doc/fidogate.ps for detailed (well, sort
of ... ;-) instructions on how to compile and install FIDOGATE.

There is a mailing list for FIDOGATE discussions and announcements:

    fgate-users@gondor.gun.de
