	Using 20071221 as reference point.

	Cleanup: Simplified TLS library cipher and protocol API to
	just pass string-valued properties to tls_client_init() and
	tls_client_start(). The client is now agnostic of the
	mechanics of cipher management internal to the library. The
	main.cf parameters used internally in the library are now
	loaded by the library, not the caller. Files:
	src/smtp/lmtp_params.c, src/smtp/smtp.c, src/smtp/smtp.h,

	src/tls/tls_server.c, src/tls/tls_session.c, src/tls/tls_verify.c
	and src/tlsmgr/tlsmgr.c

	Cleanup: Client session lookup key "salting" is now handled
	internally in the tls library. Files: src/tls/tls_client.c

	Cleanup: Cipher state is cached, and only updated when
	necessary.  Files: src/tls/tls_misc.c

	Feature: Extended the syntax of protocol selection to allow
	exclusions as well as inclusions. Files: src/tls/tls_misc.c

	Cleanup: Updated default verification depth to match reality:
	default is 9 in OpenSSL and we don't yet override it.  When
	we do (soon), the default will match previous behavior.
	Files: src/global/mail_params.h

	Bugfix: Reference to obsolete "pfixtls" code won't compile
	inside #ifdef for OpenSSL <= 0.9.5a. Using an OpenSSL release
	that old has not been tested for some time, but may now
	work. Files: src/tls/tls_bio_ops.c.

	Replaced "void *" TLS library application handles by explicit
	pointer types, while hiding data structure implementation
	details from the TLS library users. Files: tls/tls_client.c,
	tls/tls_server.c, smtp/smtp.c, smtpd/smtpd.c.

	The TLS library no longer modifies VSTRINGs passed in by
	the caller. Where possible, information is passed as "const"
	from application to library. Files: smtp/smtp_proto.c,
	tls/tls_client.c.

	Security: some systems have changed their link() semantics,
	and will hardlink a symlink, contrary to POSIX and XPG4.
	Sebastian Krahmer, SuSE. File: util/safe_open.c.

	The solution introduces the following incompatible change:
	when the target of mail delivery is a symlink, the parent
	directory of that symlink must now be writable by root only
	(in addition to the already existing requirement that the
	symlink itself is owned by root).  This change will break
	legitimate configurations that deliver mail to a symbolic
	link in a directory with less restrictive permissions.

	Feature: the milter_default_action parameter now accepts
	the "quarantine" action. This works like "accept" but also
	freezes the mail in the "hold" queue. File: milter/milter8.c.

	Robustness: transition from setjmp()/longjmp() to the signal
	mask saving/restoring versions sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp().

	Bugfix (introduced Postfix 2.4): epoll file descriptor leak.
	With Postfix >= 2.4 on Linux >= 2.6, Postfix has an epoll
	file descriptor leak when it executes non-Postfix commands
	in, for example, user-controlled $HOME/.forward files.  A
	local user can access a leaked epoll file descriptor to

	Workaround: don't log "file has 2 links" warnings when the
	condition appears to be temporary. As kernels have evolved
	from non-interruptible system calls towards fine-grained
	locks, the showq command has become likely to observe a
	file while the queue manager is in the middle of a rename
	operation, when the file has links to both the old and new
	name.  File: global/mail_open_ok.c.

	Bugfix (introduced Postfix 2.1): when XFORWARD support was
	introduced with Postfix 2.1, the specification failed to
	clearly distinguish between missing and non-existent client
	information. This ambiguity affected the implementation:
	in $name expansions by delivery agents, unknown client
	hostnames could became empty strings (as if a submission
	was local), and local submissions could appear to originate
	from an SMTP-based content filter.  This was fixed with a
	a minor semantic change to the XFORWARD protocol.  Files:
	smtpd/smtpd.c, qmqpd/qmqpd.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c,
	cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c, proto/XFORWARD.html. Note: the

20081006

	Bugfix: further refinements to the handling of remote client

	Library: edit_file(3) module for cooperative editing of a
	file. Inspired by the postconf command, this creates a new
	version under a deterministic temporary name and renames
	it into place. The implementation uses an open/lock/stat
	protocol before updating the new file, and rename/unlock/close
	afterwards.  Based on pieces of code by Victor Duchovni,
	with minor improvements by Wietse.  Files: util/edit_file.[hc].

	Feature: master_service_disable parameter (default: empty)
