Hello,
MIMEDefang 2.59-BETA-3 is available from http://www.mimedefang.org/node.php?id=1
This release contains minor fixes and tweaks compared to BETA-2. However,
the code that creates the COMMANDS and HEADERS files has been tweaked quite
a bit to make it faster and safer (the milter code now checks the return
code of *all* write() system calls.) I had the very pleasant experience
of recycling 15-year-old code for this change. :-)
Complete changelog since 2.58 follows.
Regards,
David.

* VERSION 2.59-BETA-3
* configure.in and Makefile.in: Instead of explicitly linking
against limilter.a, just supply the -lmilter link option. This
means it should work properly on 64-bit systems that keep their
libraries in /usr/lib64. It also means that if you have a
libmilter.so lying around, we'll link against it instead of linking
statically.
* configure.in: Require only 0.15 of Sys::Syslog to check for
setlogsock('native'). (Matt Selsky)
* mimedefang.c: Major changes: We write build up the contents of
COMMANDS in memory and write it out in one big chunk per milter
callback. Not only does this reduce the number of system calls,
but we also now _check the return code_ of those calls!
* mimedefang.pl.in(item_contains_virus_fprotd): More careful inspection
of F-PROT output to determine virus name. (Jan-Pieter Cornet)
2007-01-12 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>
* VERSION 2.59-BETA-2
* Added a new tool (watch-multiple-mimedefangs.tcl) for monitoring
a cluster of MIMEDefang scanners
* mimedefang.pl.in: (dmo) Change "use POSIX;" to "use POSIX ();"
to save several hundred kilobytes of memory per slave.
* mimedefang.pl.in: (dmo) Remove useless "use Getopt::Std;"
* mimedefang.pl.in: (dmo) Some code refactoring.

* VERSION 2.59-BETA-1
* Modify multiplexor and mimedefang.pl.in so slave status updates
work correctly (the -Z multiplexor flag.) Previously, the slave
status wasn't being reset correctly.
* Modify multiplexor so slave status changes are broadcast using
the notification facility (-O multiplexor flag). A new "S" message
is used for slave status changes.
* mimedefang.pl.in(read_commands_file): If the COMMANDS file did not
end with an F, the slave would give up and become idle, but not
inform the multiplexor. As a result, the multiplexor would think
the slave was busy, and the slave would be unavailable until the
busy timeout elapsed and it was killed by the multiplexor. This
bug has been fixed.
* redhat/mimedefang-spec.in: Changes as suggested by Philip
Prindeville for cleaning up RPM builds and detecting proper
libraries on x86-64 systems.
