### BUGFIXES
- The whoami() function is now IPv6 enabled. Code contributed to openSUSE by
  Boris Manojlovic and submitted by Andreas Stieger, with additional bugfixes
  by Robert Grimm, fixing Debian Bug #667998, reported by Jose Antonio Ortega
  Ruiz <ja...@gn...>.
- Do not delete news spool on "make uninstall" (which would lose all data),
  but instead only print instructions how the user could do that.
  Reported by Pasi Kallinen, fixes SourceForge bug #3520120.
- The --with-user= now propagates to leafnode.xinetd.
  Inspired by a bug report sent by Ken Robinson.
- When complaining that we are unable to switch the user ID, report the
  current real and effective user IDs to ease debugging.
  Inspired by a bug report sent by Ken Robinson.

### CHANGES
- Leafnode no longer supports PCRE versions before 2.06.
- Leafnode now lets autoconf look for a good sed command, and runs it
  instead of a hard-coded "sed" (first from the $PATH) from "subst".
- Leafnode's subst program (run during build) now runs sed under LC_ALL=C.
  This might fix SourceForge Bug#3575233 reported by Martin Krischik,
  where leafnode failed to compile under macports for MacOS X 10.8.
- Work around compilation failures in ma_sock2name.c due to broken
  IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED macro on Linux eglibc (Ubuntu 12.04) when
  compiling in strict conformance mode.
- configure.ac updates to avoid autoconf warnings on newer autoconf versions.
- Remove some compiler warnings that were enabled during development, but
  are not terribly useful on code that is not going to change much.
