Hi,

2.40-BETA-2 is at http://www.mimedefang.org/node.php?id=1

This beta includes a major new feature called "notification".  It's
a protocol whereby the multiplexor can notify external programs of
changes in state, and the external programs can take actions in response.
The new mimedefang-notify(7) man page has all the details and an
example.

Changes since 2.39 below.

Regards,

David.

	* MIMEDefang 2.40-BETA-2

	* notifier.c: Added the multiplexor "notification" facility.
	This is an experimental new interface that lets the multiplexor
	inform external programs about state changes; see the
	mimedefang-notify(7) man page for details.

2004-02-11  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* mimedefang.pl.in (interpret_hbedv_code): Make the regexp that
	picks out virus name for Vexira and H+BEDV more forgiving.

2004-02-03  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients: Just
	discard viruses.  Don't bother checking each entity.

	* mimedefang.pl.in (entity_contains_virus_trend): Use the "-za"
	flag (suggested by "Number 6")

2004-01-29  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* MIMEDefang 2.40-BETA-1.

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Enable "use warnings" so we get warnings
	even in embedded interpreter.  (problem noted by Dave O'Neill).

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Added message_contains_virus and
	entity_contains_virus functions to mimedefang.pl.in.  They use
	*every* installed virus scanner.  Based on idea from Chris Myers.

		*** NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY ***

	The previous example filter defined functions called
	message_contains_virus and entity_contains_virus.  These are
	now defined in mimedefang.pl itself; you should remove the
	definitions from your filter!

2004-01-28  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients: Remove
	all action_quarantine* from sample filter.

2004-01-26  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* contrib/fang.pl (make_message): Patch to handle multiple parts
	(contributed by Eric Emerson).

2004-01-22  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* configure.in: Fix bug in BDC virus-scanner detection

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Remove confusing "8.12.9/8.12.9" text from
	synthesized Received: header

	* mimedefang.pl.in: use MIME::Entity::dup() to fix destruction
	of multipart/digest messages.  Fix due to Bryan Stansell.

2004-01-08  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* configure.in: Use $PERL everywhere, not perl.  Patch submitted
	by Jeff Makey

	* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients (filter_end):
	Remove call to remove_redundant_html_parts from default filter.

2003-12-03  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* mimedefang.pl.in (interpret_sweep_code): Return 'ok' for a
	Sophos return code of 2.  Sophos Sweep seems to choke on
	M$ docs; this is dangerous!!  Use another virus-scanner if
	possible.

2003-11-23  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Version 2.39 RELEASED
