Debian Changelog gotmail (0.9.0-1)

2007

gotmail (0.9.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release (closes: #431802 - "new upstream version")
   * New version includes a more explanatory message than "Could not parse
     redirect location", to let the user know that it can happen when
     credentials are bad or when the account is locked. (Closes: #381422 -
     "Could not parse redirect location")
   * Applied patch from Martin Ferrari to avoid an infinite fetching loop
     when the account has a certain number of messages (closes: #425502 -
     "Gotmail cannot retrieve mail: infinite loop")

2005

gotmail (0.8.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release (Closes: #319453 - "new version...")
   * Adds support for different hotmail domains (Closes: #306603 -
     "Hardwired for 'hotmail.com' and cannot change in ~/.gotmailrc")
   * Apparently fixes the problem with deletion in some languages
     (Closes: #282175 - "fails to move or delete messages for some
     languages), although my ability to verify this is limited.
     Please notify me or reopen the bug if there are more issues.

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Fri, 22 Jul 2005 11:52:28 -0600

gotmail (0.8.2-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Applied patch 135217 from SF by "cageek" (Closes: Bug#309737 -
     "hotmail structure seems to have changed, gotmail doesn't work
     anymore")

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Sat, 21 May 2005 19:48:00 -0600

gotmail (0.8.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Suggest exim4 instead of the outdated exim (Closes: Bug#255345 -
     "please suggest exim4 instead of exim")
   * Replace print with dispText() where appropriate; patch sent
     upstream (Closes: Bug#281013 - "--silent isn't too silentious")
   * I think this bug report is complaining about not being able to
     use a @ in the config file name; band-aid fix is to add @ to the
     regex. Fixed. (Closes: Bug#287127 - "-c config@file.name doesn't
     work because of the @. work around is change the filename.")

2003

gotmail (0.7.10-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * John Fruetel has taken over upstream maintenance. Thanks,
     John!
   * New upstream fixes (although not yet released) address the
     most recent Hotmail breakage. Closes: #222781 - "Hotmail
     redesign broke gotmail".

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Mon, 15 Dec 2003 16:07:14 -0700

gotmail (0.7.10-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix stupid broken dependency (Closes: #198341, #198506);
     since of course I shouldn't do a versioned dependency on
     a virtual package :/

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Mon, 23 Jun 2003 11:48:12 -0600

gotmail (0.7.10-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. Changes include:
   * Patch from Angel Luis Jimenez Martinez to use curl's cookie
     handling instead of trying to do it manually. This fixes
     the latest Hotmail breakage. (Closes: #195288 - "gotmail
     reports page structure has changed")

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Sat, 21 Jun 2003 00:24:12 -0600

gotmail (0.7.9-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Removed dependency on libcurl2-ssl; ssl functionality is
     now provided in the curl package itself (>= 7.9.5-2)
   * Medium urgency because this is one of the few reasons the newer
     curl isn't going into testing.

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Fri, 2 May 2003 14:42:38 -0600

gotmail (0.7.9-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. Changes include:
   * Fixed recent hotmail breakage (Closes: #184663 - "Hotmail
     changes")
   * Don't skip pages when deleting
   * Added --procmail-bin option to set procmail's location;
     /usr/bin/procmail is now only the default.
   * Added check to make sure procmail binary can be found; aborts
     if not. Previously mail sent to procmail just went nowhere if
     the procmail wasn't in /usr/bin.
   * Fixed messages printed when --silent was specified.
   * Added option to specify path to curl executable. Previously,
     gotmail would use "./curl" if found, and curl in the path if
     not. "./curl" will no longer work unless specified explicitly
     with --curl-bin. The default is still to search the path.
   * Fixed --folders option (when specified at the command line,
     was expecting a "/" separator, while the manpage said to use
     commas. Behavior now matches manpage; use comma separators.
   * curl errors were most likely caused by hotmail breakage,
     above; new version works without any versioned dependency
     on woody. (Closes: #179242 - Does not work with woody
     "libcurl")

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Thu, 13 Mar 2003 17:21:50 -0700

gotmail (0.7.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. Changes include:
   * Fixes the broken delete option in a better way (works
     for non-English users)
   * Fixes broken delete option for Junk Mail folder

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Mon, 13 Jan 2003 13:18:07 -0700

gotmail (0.7.6-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Incorporates changes from upstream unstable 0.7.7pre1-
     which fixes the broken mark-read and delete actions.
     (closes: #175943 - "delete -Option doesn't work")
   * Closing this report also, because it appears to be bogus:
     (closes: #166287 - ".gotmailrc is now ignored after
     upgrading to 0.7.4pre")

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Thu, 9 Jan 2003 18:24:52 -0700

gotmail (0.7.6-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release, adding support for MSN.com addresses.

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Wed, 8 Jan 2003 18:28:05 -0700

gotmail (0.7.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Updated Standards-Version.
   * New upstream release. Changes include:
   * Fix backwards logic in the SMTP debugging flag
   * Fixed output of perl version when debugging ($PERL_VERSION
     seems to be broken?)
   * Fix HTML entities _before_ trying to recognize From:
     headers
   * When from address can't be determined (because it seems we
     can't rely on Hotmail to send valid From lines or From:
     headers), use a valid email address ($login\@hotmail.com)
     instead of just "Hotmail". This avoids breaking SMTP.
   * Changed url for deleting messages, so that they are moved
     correctly into the Trash folder instead of being sent to
     limbo.

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Sat, 4 Jan 2003 15:55:01 -0700

2002

gotmail (0.7.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release. Changes include:
   * Fix to make gotmail work with new Hotmail format changes
     (process cookies on main login page, and unescape cookie
     values) (closes: #165348, #163928 - Hotmail's structure changed)
   * Patch by Hari Sundararaghavan to update Hotmail login data-
     string (closes: #164964 - Argument "..." isn't numeric)
   * Medium urgency because 0.7.3 is now completely useless

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Tue, 22 Oct 2002 15:04:47 -0600

gotmail (0.7.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release
   * Added patch by Sergio Rua <srua@debian.org> to introduce
     the --use-procmail option (sends all messages to procmail)
     (closes: #151999 - gotmail with procmail)
   * Added patch by David Holland to introduce X-gotmail-user
     header
   * Will use more modern curl dependencies after some version
     of this gets into woody (if I can make that happen).
     (closes: #152004 - please update build dependencies)

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Thu, 11 Jul 2002 14:21:11 -0600

gotmail (0.7.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. Changes include:
   * Minor regex tweaks to work with a Hotmail change.

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Fri, 28 Jun 2002 13:09:04 -0600

gotmail (0.7.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. Changes include:
   * Updated copyright dates.
   * Added -i switch to sendmail command to ignore false end-of-
     transmission (Thanks to Denzil Boyter)
   * Fixed stupid invalid line in sample gotmailrc ("proxy=no";
     removed). Got lots of messages about this!
   * Incorporated changes from Ivor@ivorp.com to allow Gotmail to
     work on a Windows system! Adds the --smtpserver option, and
     the requirement for libnet-perl.
   * Incorporated changes based on "lorddrumstik"'s patch to allow
     naming folders based on login name. (--save-to-login option)
   * Fixed handling of items in folder lists; now doesn't match
     on substrings.

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Thu, 16 May 2002 17:46:07 -0600

gotmail (0.7.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * I did hear from Peter Hawkins, and he told me to go ahead and
     adopt gotmail upstream. This is a new _upstream_ release.
     Changes include:
   * Upstream releases no longer contain a debian/ directory. I
     plan to release gotmail also as an RPM sometime soon.
   * Shortened some of the argument option names, and made the options
     in the config file match those in the arguments. The old values
     on both sides should still work.

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Sat, 11 May 2002 18:19:31 -0600

gotmail (0.6.6-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Made changes to the login process based on the 0.6.6_jp_v4
     version by Jens Preikschat <preikschat@hotmail.com>. He took
     the time to figure out the Passport servers, so I don't have
     to anymore :). Many thanks to Jens. (closes: #144985, #144928 -
     Hotmail page structure has Changed)
   * Prints the message given to die() when dying
   * I don't agree that configuration needs to be split out of the
     script. (closes: #142369 - gotmail has configuration embedded
     in script in /usr/bin)
   * Made some serious cosmetic changes. Got rid of the windows-style
     newlines and reformatted lots of code for easier reading. This
     will make the diff large, but it doesn't bother me too much. If
     I don't hear back from Peter Hawkins this time, I believe I will
     upload future versions as Debian-native. Several places on the
     net point to this package as the "maintained" one.
   * Fixed argument- and config file-processing with better regexps.
     Arguments were matching on substrings.
   * Made saving in mbox format work correctly. Now outputs a proper
     mbox header and does ">From" quoting inside the message. Mutt
     can read the output files now.
   * Added -c|--config-file option to use a different file than
     ~/.gotmailrc, and..
   * Added X-gotmail- headers to all processed messages. These are
     loosely based on Tim Dijkstra's patch (closes: #143878 -
     [patch] --config-file option and X-gotmail header)
   * Made a few other simple regexp optimizations and thinko fixes.

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Wed, 8 May 2002 19:12:50 -0600

gotmail (0.6.6-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Patch from Jonas Smedegaard <dr@jones.dk> to avoid trying to go
     through .NET servers (they cause problems) (closes: #140097 -
     HoTMaiL sometimes redirects to .NET servers which gotmail doesn't
     understand)
   * Parts of patch from Adrian Chung <adrian@enfusion-group.com> to
     clean up temp files on unclean exits
   * Fixed retry counting
   * Only redirect on Location: lines in the header, not in the body
     (closes: #138977 - Incorrectly acts on certain text in messages)
   * Moved into main

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Fri, 29 Mar 2002 14:16:17 -0700

gotmail (0.6.6-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * New maintainer
   * I'm working on #138977- this upload is just to get the bug
     reports sent to me.
   * Installed already present manpage instead of linking to
     undocumented

 -- paul cannon <pik@debian.org>  Wed, 20 Mar 2002 15:51:17 -0700
