Hello, ProFTPD community. The ProFTPD Project team is pleased to
announce that the first release candidate for ProFTPD 1.2.10 is now
available for public consumption.

You can download 1.2.10rc1, including PGP signatures and MD5 sums,
from any of the proftpd mirrors.  Mirrors are available via FTP as:

  ftp.<two_letter_iso_country_code>.proftpd.org

(example: ftp.nl.proftpd.org).  Not all countries have mirrors; however
you should select one that is geographically close to you.

Alternatively, you can download proftpd from the main site:

  ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source

RPMs, once available, will be placed here:

  ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/packages/RPMS

The 1.2.10rc1 release includes numerous bugfixes and new features,
including:

  + Support for Mac OSX 10.3.3

  + New configuration directives:
      <Class>
      AllowClass
      DenyClass
      MaxClientsPerClass
      SetEnv
      UnsetEnv

  + Enhanced configuration directives:
      The Include configuration directive now functions similarly to
      Apache's Include directive, able to include all files within a
      given directory, or only those files that match a simple glob
      pattern.

  + Deprecated configuration directives:
      AuthPAMAuthoritative
      Class
      Classes

  + New configuration file variable:
      Using "%{env:<var>}" in your proftpd.conf will cause the string
      to be replaced with the value of the named environment variable.
      For example:

        DefaultAddress ${env:PR_DEFAULT_ADDR}

      would be expanded to:

        DefaultAddress 127.0.0.1

      assuming the PR_DEFAULT_ADDR environment variable value was
      "127.0.0.1".

  + New programs:
      The ftpdctl program, which can be used to communicate with the
      running daemon using Unix domain sockets.  See README.controls for
      more information.

  + New modules:
      mod_quotatab, a collection of modules related to quota management.
      See contrib/mod_quotatab.html

      mod_ctrls_admin, a module implementing various administrative
      ftpdctl commands.  See contrib/mod_ctrls_admin.html and
      README.controls.

      mod_site_misc, a module implementing commonly used SITE commands.
      See contrib/mod_site_misc.html

  + Enhanced modules:
      The mod_tls module can now handle passphrase-protected certificates

  + Documentation
     The doc/howto directory contains a collection of useful HOWTOs for
     ProFTPD users.

     The doc/modules directory contains HTML documentation for some of
     ProFTPD's optional modules (e.g. mod_cap, mod_ctrls).

Please read the included NEWS and ChangeLog files for the full details.

When upgrading to 1.2.10rc1, please take note of the following:

  + The new Class support will require changes to proftpd.conf files that
    use the old Class/Classes directives.  See README.classes for details.
