Possible future plans...

- Improve rebatching routine. Ability to convert from compressed to
  uncompressed, and from one form of compression to another.
- Finish designing enhanced batch format with header substitution.
- Possible pair of news header substitution/expansion programs to
  process rnews batches before compression to further reduce size
  for transfer.


1.0b4  February 15-23, 1993

- Attempted to write some kind of documentation.
- Added support for separate compression option for news encapsulation.
  News and mail can now be compressed differently.
- Added better error handling to rsmtp, uudebat, and adebatch modules.
  Notification of problems now sent to postmaster.
- Added ability to handle multiple rmail recipients to new uudebat code.
- Rsmtp/rcsmtp modules written.
- Some major filename munging problems with uudebat. Decided to rewrite
  module to function same way as rbmail and rsmtp do, by calling rmail.
- Fixed major news encapsulation bug.


1.0b3  January, 1993

- Added SMTP mail batching. Should be compatible with Smail on Unix
  systems. Works, but needs a lot of improvements. Need rsmtp module.
- Now scans the feeds file for appropriate site information when no
  nodes are specified on the command line.
- Most command line switches can now be set via uubat.* parameters
  in the Waffle STATIC file.
- Changed file format for the encapsulation to make it more flexible.
  Will be the final format, no more additions to be made.
- Had to rewrite most of code again, should be the last time. Thought a
  little this time rather than just hacking. :-)  Added jobdata structure,
  modified node list to contain batching and compression information.


1.0b2  January, 1993

- Designed and implemented support for user definable external compression
  programs. Completely open format. Adebatch written.
- Added rbmail/rcbmail batching support. Rcbmail written. Not tested
  very well, assuming the rbmail port works okay.
- Rewrote code again to make addition of different batch methods easier.
- Modified screen display to show jobs as processed.


1.0b1  December, 1992

- Major rewrite of code begun. Uubatch arrays converted to linked lists.
  Looks for keywords in STATIC file. Waffle filename munging implemented
  in uudebat. Uucdebat written. Most macros eliminated. To much else to
  mention.
- Initial port of Unix 1.0.5 version to Dos. Reformatted coding style.
