    in the notify-mail if the mail is ignored or deleted.
  - New: Virtual header-field "TOP:" allows rules to test the first lines
    of the body of the mail (see setting "toplines").

    too.
  - Fix: filter-rules in notify had "lost" the ":" behind the default-field.

  for KB caused an runtime-error in the log. {TGL}

    filter-rule causes errors in the logfile now.

    now all ascii-chars without space and ":".
  - Fix: When there were more than one line with an expire-expression,
    all lines without the first were logged as invalid.
  - Fix: The analysis of the filter-lines didn't check, if it ends
    with invalid states like pattern without correct end-char.
  - Fix: AddAccounts without default-field or with patterns didn't
    cause an error.
  - Fix: Add/delete/postto etc with default-field but no pattern didn't
    cause an error.

V2.0.1.2 (03/31/2003)

- Fix: Actions: Since 2.0.1.0 actions with sub-actions (account-specific)
  didn't work correctly (mail.in, mail.internal, ...) {TGL}
- Fix: Some detail-messages were only displayed in main log, if external
  logfile logged detail-messages, too. {TGL}
- Fix: If Trash-directory was defined under groups- or server-directory
  the check-for-obsolete-dirs-function reports it as obsolete. {TGL}
- Fix: Mailfilt.hst: Set/add-rules with a IMAP-subdirectory didn't work,
  if the subdirectory contained spaces. {TGL}
  !WARNING! To fix the error the complete analysis of the mail-filter-
  lines is programmed from scratch, new errors are not impossible.

V2.0.1.1 (03/28/2003)
- New: Dialog "Automatisation": Automatic purge of old files in the 
  trash-directory. Default: When older than 28 days, value 0 deactivates 
  the purge.  (hamster.ini [EditDirs] EmptyTrashAfterXDays=...) {TGL}
- Fix: Local NNTP-server: {TGL}
  - Result of command HEAD didn't end with CRLF as necesssary.
  - Result of commands BODY and ARTICLE didn't append CRLF if missing
    like Hamster before 2.0.1.0.

    which runs the Script including the line above. The script has to exist
    in the script-path or a subdirectory of it. {TGL}
  - The parameter of a command (print, If, ...) don't need paranthesis anymore:
    print "Hello!" is adequate to print ( "Hello!" ) {TGL}
  - If/else/endif extended to If/elseif/elseif/.../else/endif. {TGL}

      change a distinct header. if the header existed before and $XHdrNam

- Chg: In the last versions Hamster used the result of TOP as header

    automatically (hamster.ini [EditDirs] AspectListToPreview=x).
- New: external POP3-server: if the server returns incorrect data for
  TOP-command, problems are caused with mail-filters and mail-header-
  action. To avoid this, the TOP-command can be disabled for a POP3-Server:
  server.ini [POP3] UseTOPCommand=1/0. If disabled (0) Hamster will always
  retrieve the complete mails before filtering. {JW/PW}
- New: rejected/failed mails: {TGL}

  remotetimeoutcommand/connect. If Hamster finds old kind of entries but
  not new, the old are converted automatically. {TGL}
- Chg: hs2: Command "int" didn't work correctly, an Int("Hallo") caused
  an error, now it returns 0 like documented. An additional second parameter
  allows to set a default-value, which is used, if the first parameter can't
  be converted to a number. If not set, the default-value is 0. {JH}
- Chg: IMAP: TAGs are forced, but only relevant for Telnet-users. Some minor
  changes and bug-fixes. {HS}
- Chg/Fix: Missing must-parameters caused strange errors, this is fixed now.
  Optional parameters can now be left empty: HamSendMailAuth ( "server", ,
  , , , , 1 ) is allowed, because only the first parameter has to be set.
  {JH/TGL}
- Fix: hs2: "ConstEnum" couldn't be used. {TGL}

  error-lines and 3,10 the warning-lines (which means the warning/error-page
  on the main-window and not the main-log. {HS}
- Fix: hs2: return() wasn't handled correctly in special cases like inside a
  loop in a sub-routine. {TGL}

  - Source-Routes are deleted
  - RCTP- and Mail-commands has to be equal or shorter than 510 Bytes.
  - Envelope-addresses has to be equal or shorter than 256 Bytes.
- Chg: You can end hamster now, although a configuration dialog is open. {TGL}
- Chg: The script-menu and submenus are now sorted in following way: First all
  entries without subitems in alphabetic order and then the entries with submenus
  in alphabetic order. The alphabetic order is not case sensitive and the 
  underline-char (&) has no effect, too. {TGL}
- Chg: If you activate the main window from the trayicon, hamster-dialogs will
  be set to foreground. {TGL}    
- Fix: The check, if a mail goes to an external address could be fouled with 
  quotions marks around the address. {GW/HS}
- Fix: No more flickering when updating the Threads-log in the main window or when
  filling the user-list in the User&Password-dialog. {HS}
- Fix: The groupsnames in the newshistory were handled case-sensitive in some 
  parts and case-insensitive in other parts - now they are handled always case-
  insensitive, so that there should be no problems with deleting messages
  in the future, if the history is rebuild once. {OJB}
- Fix: Local IMAP-server: False result of command "LSub" in some cases, (FETCH) 
  ENVELOPE has false result (CRLF) and there were problems with the addresses.
  Furthermore the "Greeting"-result works now like all other local servers. {HS}
- Fix: In the archieve-copies of sent postings the newsgroups-information in
  the first line was missing since some beta-versions. {MB}
- Fix: Edit Dir(s): Preview added/deleted empty lines before/after lines with
  text-attributes (*bold*, ...) {TGL}
- Fix: SASL-Timeout was calculated incorrectly. {JH}
- Fix: A timeout in the client-thread could produce an GPF. {JH}
- Fix: Configuration / local server / general / encrypt MID worked only, if
  FQDN for special header was set. Now it only needs a FQDN for Message-ID
  again. {JW}
- Fix: The menu "help" in the main-windows started the help directly instead of 
  showing the menuitems above. {TGL}
- Fix: hs2-command HamSendMail created an unnecessary directory. {TGL}
- Fix: Destroy-method of some internal Thread-Objects had a bad internal order
  (inherited BEFORE freeing internal objects / added lines to log). {HS}
- Fix: If a mail in mail.out could not be opened, the other mails were not
  sent out. {HS}
- Fix: More detailled error message, if internal writing in a newsgroup 
  failed. {OJB}

- Fix: An empty header in a message/mail could produce a GPF. {MB}
- Fix: User-ID was missing in the Received-header of mails {JW}
- Fix: log.IgnoreConnectionLost was not supported for the local NNTP-server {Till Meyer}
- Fix: Edit Dir(s): Highlight of text attributes worked not always correct. {TGL}

V1.3.23.160
- New: Configuration / Automation: {TGL}
  - General contains well known settings from the local server-dialog (autostart
    for local servers and automatic purge every day). Furthermore the user can
    decide, if the daily statistic should be created and if the tests for obsolete
    directorys should be done.
  - Actions: Now the actions can set not only in the hamster.ini and there's a
    small information for every action.
  - Editing of the GetMids.txt for the external NNTP-server
- New: local IMAP-server. Settings can be found unter Configuration/local server/
  IMAP. This server is "alpha" and will need time until it is stable, so use it
  carefully. {HS/MG}
- New: Dialog Edit Dir(s): The preview supports highlighting of text attributes
  like *bold*, /italic/ and _underlined_. {HS/TGL}
- New: POP3-server supports special error-token in the results for compatibility
  to RFC 2449 and RFC 3206. CAPA-command has now the properties RESP-CODE 
  and AUTH-RESP-CODE. {JW}
- New: NNTP-extension "mode cancel" similar to the mode in INN, which allows 
  effective local cancels in the database, if the user has the permission. {HS}
- New: hs2:
  - Function ClipRead results the text-content of the clipboard {GLG}
  - ClipWrite(value) copies the value as text into den clipboard. {GLG}
    ATTENTION: Scripts for public use should avoid ClipWrite, because
    the clipboard is defined for the use of the user and can contain
    very important content!
  - Function HamRCpath results the script-path for the local ReCo-server. {JW}
- New: [Actions]: mail.getheader.* allows to edit the header of an incoming mail
  before the mailfilter of hamster is used. {JW/TGL}
- New: hwindows.hsm contains the function "RasErrText", which results the error
  message to an error number of an RAS-error. {JH}  
- Chg: All internal Delphi-error-messages are now in English. {TGL}
- Chg: Very big mailfilters are now executed faster. {HS}
- Chg: menuitem "advanced configuration" now with dynamic caption instead of 
  checked or not checked. {TGL}
- Chg: If an user has limited access to the newsgrouplist, the search for Message-
  ID won't find messages in the forbidden groups, too. {HS}
- Chg: If there's no server-directory for an local POP3/SMTP/NNTP-server, it won't 
  be created to save the Greeting.txt anymore. {TGL}
- Chg: More compatibility for mails with unusual headers: The space behind the ":"
  is not needed anymore, if there's a TAB it will be handled like an space. {TGL}
- Chg: The main-window-hotkey for the script-dialog is now F4 instead of F2. 
  ESC minimizes the window (or clears the content of the hs2-shell, if it is 
  not empty) {TGL}
- Chg: Default-value for [Setup] local.nntp.XOVERdelCRLF is now 1 (true), so that 
  the behaviour is like Hamster 1.3.23.4 and before. {TGL}
- Chg: If an mail received from an POP3-Server has no body, it automatically gets
  an empty body to avoid later errors. {JW}
- Fix: Check for obsolete server/group-directories didn't ignore system-dirs like
  news.out or news.err. {TGL}
- Fix: GPF/errors when closing dialog "Edit Dir(s)" shouldn't happen anymore. {TGL}
- Fix: Local servers could be started, if there was no correct certificate although
  "Required TLS" was set. {MG}
- Fix: hs2
  - Order of initialization of used modules were not correct. {TGL}
  - hamsendmailauth: The parameters for user and password were ignored. {JW}
  - Result when waiting for mutliple objects with "eventwait" was incorrect. {JW}
- Fix: Internal access to an message with multiple header results the last instead 
  of the first header. {HS}
- Fix: Groupflag "g" for "Gateway" is a speciality of Hamster, so that newsclients 
  like Gravity ignored such a group in the grouplist, so these groups are now labeled 
  as "m" (moderated) when a NNTP-clients asks the server for the grouplist. {TGL}
- Fix: The From-entry in the info-mails had no space between name and address. {JW}
- Fix: SSL-login-settings for POP3 were loaded from the false ini-file. {JW}
- Fix: When using POP3-server with alias-name (pop.gmx.de/2) Hamster created a
  directory for the original POP3-server-name. {TGL}
- Fix: Dialog "Edit Dir(s)":
  - Rot13 raised an error if the whole message was selected. {TGL}
  - When showing News.out/News.err there were no news-specific columns. {TGL} 
- Fix: Menuitem News-Killfile-Log wasn't enabled/disabled correctly. {MB}
- Fix: Configuration / News: ... : Reseizing worked not properly. {TGL}
- Fix: OLE-command NewsGrpInformation used false INI-file, the groupname was 
  missing and gateway-groups are now labelled as moderated. {HS}

- Fix: The quoted part in Cancel-reports didn't contain carriage returns. {JW}

V1.3.23.150
- New: Score after load allows scoring of all headers and the (raw) body. The
  Score-after-load-entries in the Scores.hst starts with an "?" before the 
  real entry, you can filter on every possible header and not only to the known 
  calculated headers ("Bytes", "XPost", "Number" and "Age") but additional on
  "Header", "Body" und "Article" (article=header+body). Examples:
   ?+10 Supersedes: *
   ?=-9999 Body: "Merkens"
  Body, header and article are always "raw" which means there is no decoding
  with "~" supported and "quoted-printable", "base64" and "UTF-8"-articles
  is resulted without change. {code destilled from Haibles playground}
- New: "Configuration / advanced configuration" en/disables advanced settings,
  "big" dialogs allows to toggle this directly. {TGL}
- New / hs2:
  - Function DecodeMIMEHeaderString(String[,Variable]) decodes MIME-coded
    headers, if the second parameter is used, it must contain a variable,
    which contains the name of the used charset after decode. Attention:
    There's no conversion between the charset of the header and the
    charset, which is used by windows, it's only decoding to 8-bit. {JW}
  - Function SysErrorMessage(number of error) results the error message to 
    the error number for an windows-system-error. {TGL}
  - Function ScriptPriority(Priority) allows to set the priority of the 
    script-thread itself. 0=no priority, 1=very low priority, 2=low priority,  
    3=normal priority, 4=more priority, 5=high priority, 6=highest priority
    (which needs admin-rights under NT&Co), see windows.hsm for so named 
    variables. {JW}
- New: SSL - special Cipher-settings can be defined for a server: Server.ini,
  [NNTP] SSLCiphers=... {MG}
- New: When reset a group you can cleared the INI-file, too. If you allow 
  this, the group will be handled as completly new on next news-pull. {TGL}
- New / hamster.ini [Setup]
  - Setting for timeout when handing over parameters to a running hamster,
    0 deactivates the timeout: StartUp.ScriptTimeout=..., Default 30000 = 30s {JW}
  - local.nntp.XOVERdelCRLF=0 (Default) decides, what happens to CR/LF in 
    headers. If "0", they are converted to spaces, if "1" they are killed.
    "1" is highly recommend if using Forte Agent or XNews, because they get
    the subject from the XOver and includes false spaces in such cases.
- New/Chg: Dialog Edit Dir(s): {TGL}
  - ESC closes the preview or - if preview already closed - the dialog itself.
  - (Again) context-menu for filelist

  has no effect till hamster is restarted because of technical reasons. {TGL}
- New: language-files (hamster_xx.dat) can contain lines to modify size and 
  position of controls and to change the used font for every single dialog. {TGL}   
- Chg: SSL-settings for local server are always reachable, if the use of SSL is 
  actived, but not possible, Hamster will warn you or show an error when 
  starting. {TGL}  
- Chg: More detailled log-entries for SSL / local verify. {JW/MG}
- Chg: Configuration / Local Servers: Option "Bounce to Sender" now found under
  SMTP-tab instead of POP3-tab. {TGL}
- Chg: No Hotkey for remote control anymore, because it is to easy to start it
  without purpose. {TGL}
- Chg: Optimized internal structure for the Mailaliases, lines beginning with ";" 
  or "#" are sorted out as commentary. {TGL}
- Chg: Internal routine for sending postings to newsserver and main-procedure of
  mailrouter is revisioned, there should be no perceptible change for the user
  without more detailed log-entries, if anything failed. {JW/TGL}
- Chg: For internal handling of messages there existed to different classes
  (TArticle and TMess), which are replaced by a complete new written class
  (TArticle), so that there were many, many small changes throughout the whole
  program, but i hope, that there are no or only minor new bugs... {TGL}
- Chg: NewMail-Function (hs2/OLE): error when From/To was missing, extended
  log-entries. {JW}
- Chg: if OLE-command ControlChangePassword failes (incorrect old PW) this will
  automatically be logged as a warning. {TGL}

  could still be used. {TGL}
- Fix: Info-Mails to external addresses worked incorrectly if the given address 
  contained a name, too. {JW}
- Fix: If SMTP-client failed, it produced much more errors than necessary. {JW}
- Fix: Setting for killing oversized mails didn't work because an incorrect ini-key 
  was used (mail.filter.mailsize.kill instrad of mail.filter.mailsize.delete) {JW}
- Fix: the message, that the last access to the group list was too long ago, was
  confusing, because it says, that the last access was in the future. {TGL}
- Fix: The parameter for HamSendMails to filter by the recipient(s) still didn't
  worked properly. {TGL}

V1.3.23.141
- Fix: The prior version .140 produces a cpu-load of 100%. {TGL}

V1.3.23.140
- New: Native SSL build in, several dialoges (General settings, local server,
  external news/mailserver) are updated for this, you need libeay32.dll snd 
  libssl32.dll (old versions won't work). All old SSL-functionality is 
  thrown away, so that there are some changes: The SSL-commands (OLE and hs2!)
  SendMailSSL, FetchMailSSL, FetchMailAuthSSL, OpenSSLTunnel and CloseSSLTunnel 
  are not supported anymore, the new commands are: ControlRunFetchMailTLS, 
  ControlRunSendMailTLS und ControlRunSendMailAuthTLS. If SSL ist working
  properly, hamster uses the SSL-librarys to get random values in several
  places instead of the Object-Pascal-Random-Functions, because the SSL-
  librarys results "real" random values. {Martin Germann}
- New: Configuration/local server/POP3: Mails to unknown local receipients 
  can be bounced. (hamster.ini [setup] local.mail.BounceIfUnknownUser=0/1) {JW}
- Neu: Configuration/local server/SMTP: You can allow, that mails to local
  receipients doesn't need authentification, although SMTP-AUTH is activated.
  This helps to avoid unwished Relaying when the SMTP-server can be used from
  internet. (hamster.ini [Setup] local.mail.reqnotauth), Default: 0. {JW}
- New Messages (HamMessage): 12,2=Open script-dialog, 13,1=Close Edit 
  Dir(s)-dialog, 13,2=Close script-dialog. {TGL}

  - Status.click.* is executed on a left mouse-click on the statusbar. (This 
    action is executed, too, if a double-click is done!)
  - Status.doubleclick.* is executed on a double-click on the statusbar. If 
    not used, the dialog Edit Dir(s) is opened. {TGL}
  - TrayIcon.click.* is executed on a single (or double-)click on the tray-
    icon. If not used, the main-window is shown or set in the foreground.
- New: Action "news.gateway.*" works for mails, which are posted into a newsgroup,
  because a postto-rule in the mailfilter. So the action "news.local.* is now only

  [THamsterMainWindow/Form] MI.Menuitem=...), the "MI." must be stripped. {TGL}
  Example: Main.HideMenuItems=mnuFileRebuildGlobalLists, mnuFilePurge, mnuFileRebuild

    #!initializate. The section must be at the end of the module-file or end with an
    return-command. {JH}

    if the automatic check is disabled in the configuration dialog or directly in
    the hamster.ini [setup] nntp.autogetserverinfos=0 {JW}
  - MID-Functions for one group instead of all groups: If HamArtLocateMidInGroup 
    ( MID, Gruppenname, Variable ) is succesfull, it returns 0 and fills the variable 
    with the article-number of the MID in the newsgroup, else the result is -1.
    HamArtDeleteMidInGroup ( MID, Gruppenname ) kills the article with the Message-ID
    only in the chosen group and results 0 if succesful else -1. {TGL}
- New: if the FQDN for message-IDs is no local domain, it can be excluded for the
  check, if an mail-address is local or not. Use Configuration / local server / 
  general or hamster.ini [Setup] local.mail.LocalMIDFQDN=0 {JW}
- New: Language file (hamster_xx.dat) contains now settings for the dialog-fonts, one 
  set of settings for the variable-pitch-font and one for fixed-fitch-font. {TGL}

    with higher numbers than the maximum for logfiles allows.
  - hamster.ini [Setup] log.FormatFileName= defines the filenames for the logfiles.
    The format-string must contain an "%d" or "%.xd" as wildcard for the current 
    number where x stands for the width of the number. Example: Ham_%.4d.log

    clipboard. {HS/TGL}
- Chg: Temporary files, which are used by the actions news.local and news.preprocess
  are now saved in the Temp-file of windows. {TGL}
- Chg: Language-files - Changes in the hamster_xx.dat are noticed every time,
  if you open a dialog, changes are saved directly, the reaction, if entries are
  obsolete, can be set separatly for any language-file. {TGL}
- Chg: Invalid or non-existing pathes in hamster.ini [Directories] creates warnings/
  errors in the log. {TGL}
- Chg: hs2: preprocessor-commands works now with leading spaces, too. {TGL}
- Chg: if a hamster sends his parameter to another running hamster, there is now a
  timeout to avoid a dead-lock. {JW}

  of ".*" {TGL}
- Fix: Receiving mails could be aborted because the internal timeout was not set
  correctly. {JW}

  - if there's no news.out.* or news.local.*-entries, but news.*-Entries, 
    these will be used instead.
  - Same for mail: if there's no mail.subtype.*-entries, mail.* is used
  - Account-specific settings for mail-actions, which have priority before the
    normal mail-entries. Example: If a mail for account "abc" arrives, first 
    existing action in the following list will be executed: mail.in.abc.*,
    mail.abc.*, mail.in.* and mail.*.
  - Extended syntax for entries: Type.exec and Type.pars works like before, 
    Type.script runs a hs2-script, ParamStr(1) is used for the action-type
    and ParamStr(2) for filename or groupname or so (depends on the action).
    If both is used, first the program is started and then the script.
    Type.wait allows waiting: 0=no wait (Default), 1=wait for both, 
    2=wait for program only, 3=wait for script only. Some actions like news.local
    will ignore this setting for technical reasons and use always wait=1.

  explorer for directory, no doubled window-title when re-activate, buttons
  from lower toolbar now combined with upper toolbar. {TGL}

  NNTP or ReCo, value 0 to disable the limit. values greater than the common
  limit for this server ([Setup] MaxLocalXXXXServers) make no sense. {TGL/JW}
- Chg: HS2-BEFEHLE HAMSENDMAIL and HAMSENDMAILAUTH! New parameter after the 
  FromSelect-parameter: The To-Select-Parameter allows filtering on the RCPT-To-
  headers, the following SSL-Entries are moved behind this. {TGL}
- Chg: Log-files (0.log, ...) contains an additional pattern between Timestamp

  him. {TGL}
- Fix: If the user had unusual desktop-theme (like white on black), the entries 
  in the dialog killfile and about were unreadable. {TGL}

- New: HSC: HamNewsJobs*
- New: OLE: NewsJobs*
- Chg: New default for number of pull-jobs per server is now 1.
- Chg: Same naming convention of *.msg-files for news as with mails
       (unique/growing numbers, no leading zeros).
- Chg: Running scripts are not counted as "active tasks" any more, so
       HamThreadCount (hsc) and ControlThreadCount (OLE) might return
       lower values than in former Hamster-versions.
- Chg: Replaced former MD5-implementation with a new one (especially
       used for history-entries).
- Chg: Replaced former Blowfish-implementation with a new one (used
       for coding stored passwords).
- Chg: Updated to PCRE Vr. 3.1 (regular expressions), which is used
       with a new interface.
- Chg: Replaced former tray-icon-component with direct API calls.
- Chg: Client-threads (i.e. transfers to/from remote servers) now use
       blocking socket-connections.
- New: Menu "File / Refresh menu items"
- Chg: Scripts to start were moved to new sub-menu "Script / Run".
- New: Menu "Script / Edit", "Script / Stop all scripts"
- Chg: The question for "Rebuilding global lists now?" is now asked
       (and executed) when adding new pulls.
- New: Show currently connected clients in "Threads"-list.
- New: Add and expand "Path:"-header in posts to local groups (note:
       "local group" = not pulled from other servers).
- Fix: "crazy endwhile"-effect (HSC; loop-stack was filled with wrong
       instruction-pointer when used in conjunction with function-calls)
- New: AtAdd (HSC) now supports times round midnight ("23.00"-"01.00")
- Fix: SMTP multiline reply was treated wrong (-> GMX's HELO-reply).
- Chg: Special "nntpdefault"-account is not related with MODE READER
       (NNTP) any more. MODE READER is just ignored (again).
- Chg: Replaced former header-decoding (QP, Base64) with a new one
       (used with "~"-filters and to display killfile-log).
- Chg: Internal groups used by Hamster (hamster.misc/.posted/.errors)
       were renamed and replaced by a single group: "internal.misc".
       This new group is automatically created when starting Hamster,
       the old ones will be retained but will not be used any more.
       The name(s) of the internal groups may now be changed with
       settings in Hamster.ini. 
- Fix: Bug in operator precedence in conjunction with parens (HSC).

Vr. 1.3.18.0 (07 May 2000) BETA
- Chg: If no password is set for a given server, it is assumed now,
       that none is needed (providers which auth. by dialup-IP).
- Fix: HSC: HamSendMail (3rd par), HamMessage (2nd par), Parser
	    (WSP and parens in function-calls/-declarations)
- Chg: HSC: IniRead/IniWrite now use current directory by default,
	    use "HScripts.ini" if no file is given and use "[Common]"
	    if no section is given.
- New: HSC: HamMessage(8), HamArtTextExport, HamArtDeleteMid,
	    HamArtLocateMid, HamScoreList, HamScoreTest, DirWindows,
	    DirSystem, VarSet, Sgn, For, Assert, ListBox, RE_Match,
	    RE_Extract, RE_Parse, RE_Split, FileSize, FileTime,
	    ListRasEntries, ErrCatch et.al.
- New: OLE: ControlMessage(8)

Vr. 1.3.17.0 (29 Apr 2000) BETA
- Chg: "RasHangup" (OLE) and "ras.hangup" (.hsc) now also terminate
       connections not initiated by Hamster.
- New: New script-engine activated by "#!hs2" in the first line of a
       .hsc-script (see helpfile for details). Old .hsc-scripts are
       still supported [til end of year?] but cannot be mixed with
       new-style scripts.
- Fix: Hamster could become completely unresponsive if its password-
       option "?" (=ask when needed) was used.
- Chg: Mailfilter "postto" now adds "Followup-To: poster" to every
       mail redirected to a newsgroup (former: only if mail had a
       "Mailing-List:"-header).
- Chg: "LIST EXTENSIONS" (local NNTP) to make NetScape 6 work?

Vr. 1.3.16.0 (16 Apr 2000) BETA
- Fix: If multiple mailfilters matched, resulting recipients- and
       newsgroups-lists could contain duplicate entries.
- Chg: Modified startup-behaviour to avoid some problems when starting
       scripts or "clicking" around while Hamster has not finished its
       initialization.
- Chg: Disabled Full-Log-setting under "File/Configuration/Settings".
       If you save a new Log-setting, a prior "[X] Full"-setting is
       removed.
- Chg: "Remaining Pull-Jobs"-display removed, as its interpretation
       requires a good knowledge on how Hamster works internally and
       the value shown was not the value one would expect.
- Chg: File ".\Server\allpulls.txt" introduced in Vr. 1.3.15.0 is
       neither created nor used any more - just delete it.
- Chg: File ".\Server\alldescs.txt" is now always used when selecting
       new news-pulls. It is only rebuild automatically, when Hamster
       is started and the file is missing.
       If you select "File/Configuration" and Hamster has noticed, that
       the file should be rebuild (e.g. groups- or description-lists
       were reloaded or new groups were reported from one of the news-
       servers), you are asked to rebuild the file.
- Chg: There are now two steps when selecting new pulls. First step is
       to select the wanted groups in the upper part of the window by
       groupname and description. Second step is to find and select
       newsservers, which carry the selected groups.
- Chg: If a newsserver reports new newsgroups, the corresponding
       descriptions are now loaded immediately and are added (e.g.)
       to the "New groups"-message posted to "hamster.misc".

Vr. 1.3.15.0 (09 Apr 2000) BETA
- Fix: "notify"-command (mail-filters) without given recipients did not
       send notification-messages to determined recipients in all cases.
- Fix: ControlWaitIdle-command (OLE) with a timeout-value greater than
       zero returned immediately.
- New: Added matching kill-/ignore-lines of mailfilters to notification-
       messages.
- New: Display number of remaining "Pull-Jobs" while pulling groups.
       Note: Current design does not allow to show an exact value here.
- Fix: Local groups could be added more than once.
- Chg: Default startup-mode is now "show as window" and not "as icon".
- New: Added "[X] Minimize on close"-setting.
- New: Killfile-Log: Added "Exit" to context-menu.
- New: Killfile-Log: Last sort-order is now saved.
- New: Killfile-Log: Set/save sort-sequence for two additional fields.
- Fix: Hide input when entering passwords.
- Fix: After certain "minimize"-actions, Hamster could be left in an
       unresponsible state (e.g. Hamster-icon ignores mouse-clicks).
- Chg: Don't start "purge" for groups with "days to keep" of "0". This
       also disables error-detection and -correction for such groups,
       so they remain really "untouched" when purging.
- Chg: Delay and skip groups on purging if they are currently "in use".
- New: Added Newsserver-settings, which allow reloading the list of
       available newsgroups and (re-) loading the list of available
       newsgroup-descriptions.     
       Note: Unlike group-list, descriptions are NOT loaded by default.       
- New: Menu "File/Rebuild global lists" creates (by now) two new files:
       - .\Server\allpulls.txt: Available groups of all servers.
       - .\Server\alldescs.txt: All groups with their descriptions.
       These lists are also build automatically when starting Hamster,
       if they are missing or not up to date any more. They can also be
       rebuild immediately by scripts using "news.rebuildgloballists"
       (.hsc) or by "ControlRunRebuildGlobalLists" (OLE).
- New: When adding new "News-Pulls", the newsgroup-descriptions are now
       displayed and may be used for finding, if "[X] Descriptions" is
       marked. If no descriptions were loaded or none are available, a
       question-mark is shown instead.

Vr. 1.3.14.0 (25 Mar 2000) BETA
- New: Mail-filters (see "MailFilt.hst" in helpfile for details).
       Additional notes for 1.3.13.100-betatesters:
       - Fix: "postto" additionally generated a mail-message.
       - Fix: "notify"-command overwrote recipient-list.
       - New: settings in Hamster.ini ("mail.filter.*"):
	      - number of TOP-lines to load for notification-msgs
	      - global size-filters (without pre-loading of headers)
       - Chg: Only one notification should be generated now, if "ignore
	      already loaded mails" is enabled and server supports UIDL.
       - Fix: Add "Followup-To: poster"-header on "postto", if mail
	      contains a "Mailing-List:"-header.
- New: Added support for newsgroup-types "y" (posting allowed), "n"
       (no posting allowed) and "m" (moderated).
       Restrictions:
       - the types have to be set manually under "File/Configuration/
	 Newsgroups/Settings" (default is always "y")
       - "m" has no special meaning yet, it works like "y"
- New: Added (yellow) warning if logfile-setting "[X] Full" is enabled.
- New: "call"-command for internal .hsc-scripts.
- New: Settings in Hamster.ini:
       - password.codebase=2
	 A value of 2 now disables usage of OS-specific values completely.
       - purge.mhistory.keepdays=14
	 Number of days to keep entries in mail-history (default: 14).

Vr. 1.3.13.0 (15 Feb 2000) BETA
- Fix: Listbox-entries were partly unreadable when using 'large fonts'.
- Fix: Since 1.3.12, overview-values for lines and bytes returned from
       Hamster's NNTP-server were wrong (mostly too low).
- Chg: Usage of APOP is now controlled by the given password. If it is
       preceded by "APOP:", APOP is used, USER/PASS otherwise. To force
       USER/PASS, a password may be preceded with "PASS:".
- Fix: Colors in lists were not updated immediately in some cases and
       were wrong, if a server was set to be readonly.
- New: The length of a line and the size of the complete text sent to
       Hamster's local servers is now limited by default to prevent
       from DoS-attacks. If one of the limits is exceeded, connection
       will be terminated. The defaults (1000/2MB) may be changed in
       Hamster.ini under "[Setup]"; a value of 0 disables the limit:
	  local.limit.linelen.(nntp|pop3|smtp)=1000
	  local.limit.textsize.(nntp|pop3|smtp)=2097152
- Fix: If authentication failed (get news/mails), Hamster nevertheless
       tried to continue in some cases.
- Fix: Starting of a .hsc-script by command-line failed, if parameter-
       string contained a path, so association of file-type ".hsc" to
       "Hamster.exe" failed.
- Fix: A mail got different Message-IDs if sent to internal accounts
       and external recipients at the same time.

Vr. 1.3.12.0 (06 Feb 2000) BETA
- New: Mark already selected news-pulls blue when selecting new pulls.
- New: Mark local groups blue in newsgroup-list.
- New: Use APOP instead of USER/PASS if remote POP3-server supports it.
- New: Additional logfile named "RasDial.log", which contains an entry
       for each connection initiated by Hamster.
- New: Added support for newsgroup-descriptions. The descriptions are
       loaded when the group is pulled. For local groups or if the
       newsserver doesn't support it, the descriptions can be changed
       under "File/Configuration/Newsgroups/Settings".
- Fix: Newsgroups currently in use can't be "deleted" any more.
- Chg: When pulling news, articles are additionally stored in the
       current group, even if this group is not listet in Newsgroups-
       header of the article (e.g. control-messages in control.*).
- Fix: After timeouts a (useless) QUIT-command was sent, causing an
       additional delay until QUIT timed out, too.
- New: To allow access for dynamically assigned IP-addresses (dial-up,
       DHCP), a special "LOCAL"-setting was added to "IPAccess.hst".
       The default-setting is "ALL,NA,LOCAL,127.0.0.1", which treats
       ALL local IP-addresses like "127.0.0.1".
- Fix: New subscribed groups should be pulled first again.
- New: Added new ControlMessage-numbers (OLE+.hsc) to hide/show main-
       window and tray-icon.
- New/Chg: If a mail could not be delivered by SMTP for any reason:
       - Sender (or at least "admin") will get a notification by mail.
       - Delivery is tried again later for a given number of times.
	 -> Hamster.ini: [Setup] sendmail.attempts.max=10
       - If all attempts fail, the undeliverable mailfile is finally
	 renamed to "*.err" (.del=0) or deleted (.del=1).
	 -> Hamster.ini: [Setup] sendmail.attempts.del=0
       - If only some of the given recipients are not accepted by the
	 SMTP-server, the mail is now immediately send to the accepted
	 ones. These recipients will be commented out in the mailfile
	 ("!X-OK: ..."), so they will not get additional copies of the
	 mail on further attempts.
       - If it's possible to reset the remote SMTP-server after an
	 error occured, Hamster does not disconnect from server any
	 more but tries to send additional waiting mails.
- New: Disable Hamster's "Received:"-header for mails by setting
       "mail.addreceived=0" under "[Setup]" in Hamster.ini.
- Chg: Some commands of local NNTP-server (especially XOVER) should
       now be faster in groups with large articles.
- Fix: "Preferred Post-Server"-setting did not work as a "preference"
       when selecting a post-server for a given group. The group was
       somewhat (and unintentional) "fixed" to this specific server.
- Chg: The yellow hint-window on tray-icon now shows a few items from
       the current status-line.

Vr. 1.3.11.0 (11 Jan 2000) BETA
- Fix: Error "NNTP.LoginUser-Exception #4: Zugriffsverletzung bei
       Adresse 004710F1 in Modul 'Hamster.exe'  Lesen von Adresse
       00000000" could finally be reproduced by me and (hopefully)
       be fixed.
- New: To disable the automatic retrieval of new newsgroups from
       still not Y2K-compliant newsservers, change the "LastGMT="-
       setting in the appropriate Server.ini to "LastGMT=NEVER".
- Chg/Dbg: Use Message-ID of article for additional history-lookup
       and -entry (was: Message-ID of XOVER-reply).

Vr. 1.3.10.0 (03 Jan 2000) BETA
- Chg: NEWGROUPS (local NNTP) now also supports broken "YMMDD"- and
       "1YYMMDD"-dates.
- Chg: Options which can only be set manually by editing .ini-files:
       - Server.ini: [Newgroups] 4-Digit-Years=0
	 If set to 1, NEWGROUPS-command for this server is invoked
	 with format "YYYYMMDD ...".
- Fix: Connections to remote-servers were not terminated in all cases
       after timeouts (especially after XOVER/ARTICLE).
- New: Two new levels for log-files named "Details" (=commands sent
       to remote-servers and their replies) and "Full" (=complete
       communication including article-/mail-data).
       Default for new installations was changed to also save more
       communication-"[X] Details".
- Dbg: "Additional logfile-entries in client-auth..." part XIV.

Vr. 1.3.9.0 (18 Dec 1999) BETA
- Dbg: Disabled caching of client-threads.
- Dbg: Additional logfile-entries in client-authentication, if
       "[X] Debug" is enabled.

Vr. 1.3.8.0 (05 Dec 1999) BETA
- Chg: Additional log-entries for local (NNTP-/POP3-) authentication.
- Chg: Removed one possible reason for "... Lesen von Adresse 00000000"-
       exceptions.
- Fix: "wait.delay" (internal scripts) did not work any more.
- Chg: Removed "experimental", additional lookup of IP-address.
- New: Confirmation-message if starting "Rebuild history" by menu.
- New: Split long Received-header into two lines (local SMTP).
- Fix: Deleting newsserver now also deletes its news-pulls.
- Chg: "start.wait" (internal script) now always sets Hamster's root-
       directory as the "working directory" for the started program.

Vr. 1.3.7.0 (28 Nov 1999) BETA
- Fix: "ham import" tried to import "directories", not only files ...
- New: Added "[X] Ignore already loaded mails, i.e. do not load them
       again"-setting to prevent from loading mails more than once, if
       deleting of mails is disabled.
       For this function to work, a history for mail-UIDLs was added
       (file: mails\mhistory.dat) and the purge-function was enhanced
       accordingly (period is by now fixed to 14 days).
- New: Added "[X] Start as icon"-setting.
- Chg: Note destination-newsgroups in hamster.posted-intro.
- Fix: An active 'wait.delay' (internal script) could not be stopped.
- Chg: HELO (local SMTP) is now optional.
- Fix: Files and directories were not removed when deleting servers.
- Chg: Added warning, if directory could not be deleted when deleting
       a server or a newsgroup (mostly due to non-Hamster-files).
- Fix: Pull-thread for a given server was not stopped on timeouts, so
       download of different groups could become mixed up "a little",
       if answer for abandoned group still arrived when Hamster was
       already working with the next group. Additionally, a more
       detailed check for GROUP-reply was implemented.
- Chg: Added consistency-checks based on file-sizes to recognized and
       delete damaged index-entries when purging articles.
- Fix: Hamster is now able [again *sigh*], to detect and automatically
       rebuild missing newsgroup-indexfiles.
- Chg: Added some log-entries to trim down some reported problems, which
       I could not reproduce here.
- New: Added a new score-field named "Age", which is based on the Date:-
       header and gives the age of the article in days (e.g. to ignore
       all articles older than 14 days, use "=-9999 age %>14").
- New: OLE-function: NewsLocateMID2 (with Variant-pars for VBScript).
- New: Mark last client-usage of a group in group's Data.ini ("[Info]
       LastClientRead=<timestamp>").
- Chg: Original "Xref"-header is now saved in "X-Old-Xref"-header.

Vr. 1.3.6.0 (24 Oct 1999) BETA
- Fix: "history.chunkbits"-setting had no effect yet.
- Fix: Definable items of "Online"-menu did not work if called by
       tray-icon.
- Chg: "Color" of tray-icon now depends on "Threads=..."-count instead
       of RasDial-state.
- Fix: Invalid reply on HELO (SMTP) without domain-name.
- Fix: Local dupes on concurrent downloads.
- Fix: "ham import" created invalid Date:-header with option "-x".
- Chg: Start internal script by command-line even if Hamster is already
       running. Already running tasks will be terminated in this case.
- Chg: Accept non-RFC cancel-message of NetScape ...

PLEASE NOTE: New file-format for news-history
   Starting with version 1.3.5, a new file-format is used for the
   history. If you are upgrading an older version of Hamster, the new
   files will be created automatically when starting the new Hamster
   for the first time. The old history-file "History.dat" in "Groups"-
   directory may (and should) be deleted manually.

Vr. 1.3.5.0 (17 Oct 1999) BETA
- New: The file-format of history-file has changed. New history-files
       will be created automatically when starting the new Hamster for
       the first time.
- New: The new "[Setup] history.chunkbits=4"-setting in Hamster.ini
       controls, how many files will be used for history.
- Chg: A small "Please wait"-window is displayed if history is rebuild
       automatically due to missing files.
- Chg: More effective handling of groups-indexfiles (data.idx).
- New: If an account with username "nntpdefault" and password "*" is
       created, its NNTP-settings will be used, if user accesses the
       local NNTP-server without prior authentication. This "auto-login"
       takes place, when client issues a "mode reader"-command.
- Fix: Passwords in error-messages replaced by "[...]" in logfile.
- New: Menu-item "File/Clear counters+log"
- New: "~"-scoreentries now support base64-encoded headers.
- Chg: Misleading reply on NNTP-POST if hdr/body-separator was missing.
- Chg: POST-replies (NNTP) with recommended and finally used M-ID.
- Fix: Indexfiles and history-files were saved too often and even if
       content has not changed (experimental-1.3.4.100 only).
- New: New and enhanced functions for OLE- and internal scripts:
       - ControlMessage, message: Initiates some special functions
	 like start/stop local servers, reset counters, exit.
- New: When Hamster is started or minimized now, its main-window and
       taskbar-entry will be hidden. It is replaced by an icon in the
       taskbar notification area (system-tray).
       Double-click with left mouse-button restores the window, single
       click with right mouse-button displays menu.

Vr. 1.3.4.0 (25 Sep 1999) BETA
- Fix: When adding new groups with "News-Pulls", the groups were not
       generated and saved in all cases.
- Chg: Modified article-parsing in a way, that Hamster is also able to
       load news from servers running "NNTP Service Microsoft Internet
       Services 5.5" ...
- Chg: Removed misleading connection-thread from thread-list.
- Chg: Display local server replies as "Info" now, not as "Debug".
- New: Display number of loaded mails. Slightly modified the format
       of the status-line to keep it small.
- Chg: Additionally show name of winsock-errors (e.g. WSAETIMEDOUT).
- Chg: Additionally show description of RAS-errors.
- Chg: Stop further download of mail/news, if save to file fails (e.g.
       when disk is full).
- Chg: Replaced APOP-digest (POP3) in logfile with "[...]".

PLEASE NOTE: No access to NNTP/POP3 without authentification! 
   Starting with version 1.3.3, it's not possible any more to access
   Hamster's NNTP- and POP3-servers without prior authentication. If
   you are upgrading an older version of Hamster, you have to enter a
   password for the default-account "admin" under "File/Configuration/
   Accounts" and use these settings for authentication in your news-
   or mail-client (i.e. "admin" as username and the password chosen).

Vr. 1.3.3.0 (19 Sep 1999) BETA
- Chg: Removed "Authentication [X] required" for NNTP- and POP3-server,
       as this is default from now on. Renamed SMTP's "Authentication
       [X] required" to "SMTP-after-POP3".
- New: Added "[X] Allow POST to unknown groups"-setting (disabled by
       default and not recommended for multiuser-environments).
- New: Definition for local domains. Mails sent to addresses with
       these domains via local SMTP-server will be delivered locally.
- New: Assign specific mail-addresses to local accounts. Mails sent to
       these addresses via local SMTP-server will be delivered locally.
- New: "General purpose"-passwords ($x) now work with RasDial too.
- Chg: Added some date-related tests before loading new groups and
       log used NEWGROUPS-values in signature of announcements in
       hamster.misc.
- Chg: New configuration page "Local servers". Former "Accounts"-page
       renamed to "Local accounts".
- Fix: Removed "OK"- and "Cancel"-buttons on configuration-window, as
       they did not work as [you ;-)] expected. Some pages got a "Save"-
       button instead, changes on other pages are saved immediately.
- Fix: Deleting account now deletes mailbox, if it's empty.
- Fix: "admin"-mailbox can't be deleted any more.
- Fix: Some valid groupnames (e.g. trailing "+"-sign like in "c++")
       were rejected due to a faulty syntax-check.
- Fix: "ham import": mbox-format now triggers on "From " (case-dep.)
- Fix: Mark missing headers with '(none)' on XHDR (NNTP). (Agent)
- Chg: Changed "misleading" UIDL-format (only used internally).

Vr. 1.3.2.0 (05 Sep 1999) BETA
- New: Added user-accounts (-> File/Configuration/Accounts), which will
       be used, if "Authentication: [X] required" is activated for the
       local servers (-> File/Cfg./Settings).
       If authentication is enabled, the behaviour of the local servers
       changes as follows:
       - NNTP: user-specific group-selection for reading and posting;
	       (cross-) postings to unknown groups are rejected, even
	       if a valid Followup-To is set
       - POP3: separate mailboxes per account, but so far, they can only
	       be filled by the new script-commands mentioned below
       - SMTP: only connections with prior POP3-authentication are
	       accepted ("SMTP-after-POP3")
- New: "General purpose"-passwords (-> File/Cfg./Passwords) to be used
       in scripts, which avoids the need to write them in clear text.
- New: New and enhanced functions for OLE- and internal scripts:
       - ControlSetLogin, setlogin: support for new "general purpose"-
	 passwords mentioned above
       - ControlRunFetchMail, fetchmail: fetch mails from a given server,

       one of the defined servers.
- Fix: Group-selection with ["pattern"] in scorefile did not work.
- Chg: "Lines:"-value in Hamster's XOVER-reply is not based on the given
       Lines:-header of the article any more.
- Chg: Local cancel failed, if "From:"-header of cancel was not exactly
       the same as that of the article to cancel (slrn).

- Chg: If connection was lost during posting, a misleading 340-reply was
       generated.

- New: Import messages into Hamster's database with "ham import".
- Chg: Remember last selected page on main-window and reselect it on
       startup.
- Fix: Already known Message-IDs were not deleted in "getmids.txt"
       ("Mark for retrieval"-function).
- New: If a Message-ID in "getmids.txt" is preceded with "!", it will be
       pulled, even it is marked as "known" in history-file.

- Chg: Archive-copies of posted articles in hamster.posted now get a
       unique Message-ID and a correct "Newsgroups:"-header (original
       values will be preserved in "X-Post-..."-headers). To avoid
       confusions, the article is also marked an "archive-copy" in the
       body-text of the article.
- Fix: Scorelines with a leading '=' stopped further scoring, but did
       not adjust the resulting score-value.
- Chg: When deleting a "Newsgroup", all corresponding "News-Pulls" will
       be deleted also.
- Chg: SMTP-HELO now uses a/the hostname, not "localhost".

Vr. 1.3.0.42 (11 Jul 1999) BETA
- Fix: "Preferred Post-Server" was ignored.
- Chg: Removed STAT when pulling mails.
- Chg: Changed naming convention for mailfiles created by Hamster
       (*.msg, IN and OUT): Number in decimal without leading zeros;

- Chg: Options which can only be set manually by editing .ini-files:
       - Server.ini: [Setup] ReadOnly=0

Vr. 1.3.0.40 (04 Jul 1999) BETA
- Fix: A group was not recognized as "known", if its spelling was

       case). Articles were loaded but not saved in this case.
- Fix: NEWGROUPS (NNTP) now returns data in same format as LIST.
- Fix: Automatically ignore scorefile and load articles by number,
       if newsserver does not support XOVER.

       (support- ;-) situations.
- Chg: If loading of newsgroups-list fails, no dummy-list containing
       the error-messages will be saved any more, so the list will
       be loaded automatically after solving the problem (e.g. wrong
       username/password).
- Chg: Turned (yellow) warnings of thread-limiter into (b/w) infos.
- Fix: Articles were not posted immediately if "preferred post-
       server" was not in the list of selected servers. Now it will
       be posted to one of the given servers, if the group is pulled
       from it.
- Chg: Don't start more (useless) pull-threads than there are jobs
       to do for a given server.

Vr. 1.3.0.38 (27 Jun 1999) BETA
- New: OLE-functions: NewsDeleteByMID
- New: Execute cancel-messages (local groups only; identical From;
       notification in hamster.misc).
- New: Improved version of "ham.exe":
       - "delete": Delete article by Message-ID in Hamster's database.
- Chg: Some minor performance-optimizations (less group-reopens when
       pulling news; less serialization when accessing group-files
       and adding log-entries).
- New: Added a short connection-info after closing RAS-connection.
- Fix: Final "." could be missing on TOP-command (local POP3-server).
- Fix: Internal errors in protocol-handling of local servers were
       only treated as "Debug"-infos instead of more "visible" and
       correct "Errors" (like in TOP/POP3-situation above).
- Fix: Invalid characters were accepted when setting FQDN.
- Chg: Added some syntactical checks when posting articles.
- Chg: Additional checks on purge to detect and remove "damaged"
       articles in database-files.
- New: Options which can only be set manually by editing .ini-files:
       - Hamster.ini: [Setup] password.codebase=0
	 Defines how the keyword is built for encoding the entries in
	 password-file. If set to 1, the user-name is not used for it
	 (e.g. on NT, if Hamster is used with different logins).
	 Note: You have to restart Hamster and set all passwords
	       again after changing this value!
- Fix: Check for valid newsgroup-name when adding a local group.

Vr. 1.3.0.36 (19 Jun 1999) BETA

       The RAS-DLLs are now loaded dynamically only when needed.
- New: "rasapi32.dll" added to "Help/System Informations".
- New: Options which can only be set manually by editing .ini-files:
       - Hamster.ini: [Setup] remote.timeout.connect=60
		      [Setup] remote.timeout.command=60
	 Seconds after which remote-servers have to answer (when
	 connecting/after sending a command) before a 'no response
	 from server' is assumed (in seconds; default: 60).
- Chg: Options which can only be set manually by editing .ini-files:
       - Server.ini: [Pull] Threads=2
	 The new limit for concurrent threads per server is now a
	 GNKSA-compliant 4 threads per server, default is still "2".
	 Note: The usage-policy for some servers might order you not
	 to use higher values than 1, 2 or 3. The default-value of
	 "2" should be OK for most servers, but if in doubt, ask your
	 newsmaster, how many concurrent connections ("sockets") are
	 allowed on his server.
	 Note: The thread-limit per server is now "strict" and can't
	 be "workarounded" by starting additional tasks by menu or
	 scripts as in former versions. If additional tasks are
	 started, they will be suspended until another thread for the
	 given server has finished (in most cases they will do just
	 nothing, as the jobs are already done by the other threads).
- Chg: Optimized history (insert-time for pulled articles).
- Chg: Priority for large and currently unused groups when pulling
       news. This avoids ineffective pulls and "delayed" groups at
       the end of transmission, when only a few threads are left.

- Chg: Limitation on max. 10 concurrent online-threads removed.

- Fix: Group-specific purge-range was ignored.
- New: If a score-pattern is surrounded by '{' and '}', it is treated
       as a PCRE-style regular expression, e.g.:
       -1 From {no@?spam}
       Regex-matching is not case-sensitive, but this can be changed
       in a pattern with a leading "(?-i)" or with "(?-i:XXX)", e.g.:
       -1 Subject {(?-i)HELP} {(?-i:URGENT)}
- New: To mix scores for different header-fields on a single line, a
       pattern may be qualified with ('@'+headerfield+':'), e.g.:
       -1 Subject {[!?]{3}} "help" "urgent" -@From:"me@home" -";-)"
- New: OLE-function: NewsScoreTest
- New: Improved version of "ham.exe":
       - "scoreview": Show scorelines used for a given group.
       - "scoretest": Show score-value and matching score-lines for
		      a given article.

       and mails.
- Chg: Posted articles with "unknown" groups will be accepted, if at
       least one of it is "known" and at most two are "unknown".
- Fix: Articles without Message-ID in hamster.posted/.errors.
- Fix: Upper range of available articles in a group could be set to
       a lower number on purge, if article with the highest number
       was purged, or even be set to 0, if all articles were purged.
- New: Options which can only be set manually by editing .ini-files:
       - Server.ini: [Pull] Threads=2
	 Number of threads started when pulling news (default: 2,
	 valid range: 0-9)
       - Hamster.ini: [Setup] local.timeout.inactivity=60
	 Minutes after which local servers disconnect inactive
	 clients (default: 60).
       - Hamster.ini: [Setup] mail.addxhamster=1
			      news.addxhamster=1
	 Disable Hamster's "X-Posting-Agent"-header for mail and/or
	 news (default: 1=enable; 0 to disable).
       - Hamster.ini: [Setup] mail.removemids=FQDN1,FQDN2,...
			      news.removemids=
	 Remove Message-ID from messages posted to local NNTP-server
	 (POST) and/or sent to local SMTP-server, if its FQDN is one
	 of the given FQDNs in the list.
	 Message-IDs for news-articles will NOT be removed, if an
	 article contains a Path:-header or is marked as "known" or
	 "MID already removed earlier" in history-file. Additionally,
	 if history-check fails, the article will be refused, i.e. it
	 will not be accepted again (history-range is raised to at
	 least 14 days, if "news.removemids" is set).
- New: Improved version of "ham.exe":
       - "locate" article by Message-ID
       - "type" and "export" specific article (option: "-number")
       - directly "grep" in groups with regexp-patterns
       - group-selection with one or more regexp-patterns
       (see "ham help" or "ham help all" for more^Wdetails).

- Fix: Local servers ...
- New: POP3/NOOP

Vr. 1.3.0.29 (30 May 1999) BETA
- Fix: Client-connection was "used" to early, which caused a
       misleading "no posting allowed"-message when connecting.
- Chg: Added "X-Posting-Agent"-header in sent mails.

Vr. 1.3.0.28 (29 May 1999) BETA
- Chg: [Local-servers] Initial greeting-message was sent before
       client-connection was completely initialized. This could
       cause Hamster or client to "die" and a "lost" connection.
- Chg: [Local-servers] Show (yellow) warnings when connection is
       lost or closed by Hamster.
- Chg: Additional debug-logs for passwordfile-usage.

- Fix: Generate Message-ID for mails. Service-Pack 1. ;-)

Vr. 1.3.0.23 (15 May 1999) BETA
- Chg/Fix: Redesign of local-servers which solves some issues like:
       - Hamster could "die" and/or cause unpredictable results, if
	 connections to local-servers were closed immediately after
	 a "QUIT"-command.
       - Similar effects, when connection was lost during sending
	 or receiving data.
       - SMTP-envelope of mails sent to SMTP-server could get lost
	 under certain conditions (don't panic, mail-delivery would
	 have failed with "red" errors in this case).
       - Error-handling, in general, was really B.A.D.
- Fix: Errors on external-connections were noted but not handled
       correctly and mostly caused Hamster to "die".
- Chg: Additional ("visible") warning when posting of article fails.
- Fix: Articles loaded by "mark for retrieval" were counted under
       "Load", but not under "All".
- Chg: "wait.until" (internal script) now waits til next minute
       before it starts checking the given timepoints.

- Fix: "news.purge" (internal script) did ... nothing.
- Fix: Empty lines sent to local servers caused error-message.
- Chg: Improved concurrent news-pulls from different servers.
- Fix: "wait.until" (internal script) did ... nothing.
- New: "LIST EXTENSIONS" (NNTP), "AUTH" (POP3) and "EHLP" (SMTP) are
       "known" now, but still give a "not implemented"-response.
- Fix: Improved behaviour on "lost" connections to local-servers.
- Chg: Increased width of selection-window for news-pulls.

Vr. 1.3.0.20 (06 May 1999) BETA
- New: Allow or refuse connections to the local servers based on the
       IP-address of the connecting client. By default, only addresses
       127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255 are accepted. To
       modify this default, you have to generate a file named
       "IPAccess.hst" with appropriate settings (see "IPAccess.hst").
- New: Added Win32-event named 'evtHamster.IsIdle', which is signaled,
       when Hamster is in idle-state, and unsignaled, when there are
       active tasks like purge, pulling news etc. (see "Events").

- Fix: Unpredictable change of sort-order in killfile-log after
       deleting and/or marking for retrieval.
- Fix: Local servers: Closing connection after "QUIT"-command from
       client could sometimes cause a ... dead Hamster.
- Fix: Local servers: Sending large amount of data to clients (like
       big articles or many overview-lines) was not safe and could
       cause gaps in transmitted data-stream (similar to "large
       mail"-effect fixed in 1.3.0.12).
- Fix: Local servers: Initial greeting message from Hamster was
       assigned to (ooops) wrong socket-event, which could "disturb"
       dataflow (seldom effect, mostly after loading hundreds of
       overview-lines: Agent displays "200 Hamster-NNTP Vr. ..."
       as Subject).

Vr. 1.3.0.16 (25 Apr 1999) BETA

       by now, only a few functions were implemented for testing-
       purposes; the "Hamster.App"-object is registered automatically
       when Hamster.exe is started
- New: commandline-utility "Ham.exe" to test the new OLE-interface;
       type "ham help" to get a short helptext for the functions,
       e.g. "ham export de.comm.software.forte-agent > dcsfa.txt"
- Chg: optimized behaviour when pulling a group which is already in
       use by another thread (group-pull is not delayed or skipped
       when "in use" is just a short "saving a crossposted article")

Vr. 1.3.0.13 (release-date intentionally left blank) BETA
- New: an interface to Hamster from other programs :-)
- Chg: removed this &*($&])!-interface :-(
- Fix: cool down, relax, insert new coin ... ;-)

- Chg: disabled internal cache for local article-ranges (min./max. no.)

Vr. 1.3.0.9 (06 Apr 1999) BETA
- Fix: "stop all tasks" could (still) cause one corrupted article/mail
- Fix: "corrupted" articles could cause (unpredictable) side-effects
- Fix: the reverse-lookup of the domain connecting to the local servers
       caused Windows to dial, even if it was "localhost" defined in
       local "HOSTS"-file ... [dirty comments of author snipped] ... the
       logfile now only contains the IP-number of the connecting station

Vr. 1.3.0.8 (05 Apr 1999) BETA
- Fix: back to connection-behaviour of Vr. 1.3.0.3 due to problems
       when connecting to local-servers

       each server by default; pull-list per server not per thread)
- Fix: interrupted news-pull could cause one corrupted article
       (i.e. saved only with lines loaded before interruption)
- Chg: default log-length in debug-mode doubled to first 120 byte
       of received data
- New: To get a complete log: close Hamster, change "log.file.mask=FFFF"
       under "[Setup]" in Hamster.ini and restart Hamster; this megabyte-
       eating setting is disabled when using "Configuration" again.
- New: to identify server-related issues, the initial server-message
       is now stored in file ".\Server\(servername)\Greeting.txt"
- Chg: (try to ;-) handle "peculiar" end of POP3-LIST from Germanynet
- Fix: error when exceeding 32K matching groups in group-selection
- Fix: no postserver found with trailing whitespace on "Newsgroups:"
- Fix: error(s) when Windows wants to auto-dial (?) for a localhost-
       connection (???), but confirmation-box is cancelled
- Fix: Hamster was not initialized until it became "visible" (e.g.
       local-servers not active when started "minimized")
- Chg: save/load last position of main- and scoreedit-window
- Chg: added horizontal scroll for messages in main-window
- Fix: listbox-entries were too low when using 'large fonts'
- New: articles with a score of less than "score.loglimit="-setting
       under "[Setup]" in Hamster.ini are not logged in killfile-log
       (default: "score.loglimit=-10000", i.e. log all)

Vr. 1.3.0.3 (29 Mar 1999) BETA
- Fix: POP3-maildownload stopped after the first mail was loaded,
       stored and (if enabled under 'Settings') deleted from server.

Vr. 1.3.0.2 (22 Mar 1999) BETA

       startet with one of the definable menu-items)
- Fix: error when starting transfer without "Scores.hst"-file
- Fix: error when starting script without "Default.hsc"-file
- Fix: error when selecting group and groupfile was not loaded yet
- Chg: default-username and -passwort for new servers was changed
       from "ask when needed" (="?") to "not needed" (="")
- Chg: the article-count in reply to "GROUP"-command of newsserver
       was changed from "exact" to "estimated" due to performance
       issues
- New: configuration-setting to delete mails on server after loading
       them by POP3. default value is: "[X] Leave mails on server,
       i.e. do not delete them."
