"You are a messenger from Rennes?"
"I am the delegate sent by the Literary Chamber of that city to
inform you here in Nantes of what is taking place."
"Your name?"
Andre-Louis paused. "The less we mention names perhaps the better."

Mixminion 0.0.5 is now released. This release fixes a minor bug while
running unittests on some platforms; no other bugs were found since
0.0.5rc2. Upgrades are recommended for anybody running a version of
the code earlier than 0.0.5rc2.

NEW IN VERSION 0.0.5:
- Fix a harmless but hard-to-detect bug that showed up when running
unittests on certain platforms.
NEW IN VERSION 0.0.5rc2:
- Fix for a bug that would crash exit servers trying to upgrade from
certain older versions.
- Improved error messages for several cases.
- Add a draft man page (credit goes to George Danezis).
NEW IN VERSION 0.0.5rc1:
- Support for email headers. 'Subject', 'In-Reply-To', and 'References'
are fully supported. 'From' support is limited, as documented in
'E2E-spec.txt'.
- Limited support for K-of-N message fragmentation and reassembly. Right
now, clients can send large fragmented messages for servers to
reassemble them. Not yet supported are independent paths, fragmented
reply messages, and client-side fragment reassembly.
- UI improvements
- Path generation can now create random-length paths
- Support for removing old messages from client queues.
- 'Mixminion shell' command to wrap other commands on platforms with
iffy terminals or shells. Poor substitute for a real GUI.
- Improved portability
- All client and server functionality works properly on Cygwin.
- Everything should work on win32 too. (But it won't be supported till
I can get Py2Exe working.)
- The build system should work on more unixes.
- Improved configurability
- Support for suppressing directory permission messages.
- Improved performance
- Server RAM usage should be way down, except while reassembling large
messages.
- Improved testability
- Server descriptors now describe the server's platform and
configuration.
- Bugfixes too numerous to mention. Server pools in general should be
significantly more robust.
