1.0.25-2 is out.

The main focus for this lauch is that some bugs have been fixed, and
there's some changes to the license that allows us to link with
OpenSSL (apparently there were some problems here with Debian
packaging).

I've GNUed the project after getting feedback from Savannah, and
hopefully we'll get dubbed GNU by Mr. Stallman in this release. My
guess is there will still be some things we need to fix..

A major change is that the authenticator uses the netstring format for
authentication instead of the environment variables. This will break
the teapop authenticator in contrib, but it's definitely much
safer. Yes, I am looking into using only checkpassword. :-)

BSD'ers will also see that getopt_long is now required, after I heard
things didn't work at all with short options as an alternative. I have
put in some stuff to detect the gnugetopt package, but since I don't
have access to a machine that _has_ gnugetopt, nor do I have the
possibility to install gnugetopt as root, I can't guarantee that this
will work.

So BSDers, please work with me to find a way to make gnugetopt
work. :-)

Also, big changes are currently being made to the structure of the code
and you will see some half done constructions laying around. Please don't
pay too much attention to those (especially MessageDepot/Maildir and
friends). In 1.0.26-1 I will do a major code cleanup release. I hope also
to implement the folder schema and privilege seperation in the next
release (yeay).

So here it is:

I lost access to my RH7.2 machine so there are no 7.2 binaries this
time. I'm looking for a replacement. Hope you 7.2'ers can use the 8.0
statics for now.

Some statistics:
