[Neomail-announce] NeoMail 1.20pre4

[Ernie M. <em...@ch...>]

Hi all... Long time, no release.  Been kinda busy with the legal issues, and
the day job, but I made a few changes that should hopefully solve some
problems or at least make the problems more obvious if not.  In particular,
regarding DBM implementations -- this release performs a check for the two
free DBM implementations, the Berkely DB one, and the GNU DB one, that are
known to work well with NeoMail, before installing itself.  Avoiding NDBM
and NDBM compatibility layers also eliminated the concern of system-specific
DB implementation file extensions, letting me statically specify .db and
eliminate a setup question, always a good thing for ease-of-install.

Changes from version 1.20pre3:
   * Properly handle dates in simple ctime() format as opposed to the more
     verbose ones common today.
   * Sender is now a link to the message as opposed to a blank e-mail to the
     sender in the folder display page.
   * Corrections in the Spanish translation provided by Alejandro Ramirez.
   * Berkely or GNU DBM libraries are now required.
   * A compatibility test is run in setup.pl to check for adequate CGI.pm
     version, as well as proper DBM libraries and the MD5 module.  This
     should hopefully reduce bogus tech support mails and bug reports.
   * Make sure DBM files are created with proper permissions to prevent read
     errors later.
