used to hide the login name with a literal string, or an error message.
Changes: A bug that occurred when a query referenced an invalid port was
fixed, and malloc wrappers that terminate on error were included. The
info page was corrected.

different file than /foo//bar. This release also introduces the ability to
automatically moving, deleting, or renaming the duplicate files that are
found.

About: gmuck assists you in generating valid (X)HTML by examining the
source code that generates it. It is not a replacement for real validation
tools, but is handy for quick checks and in situations where validation of
the actual markup is troublesome. It is a line-oriented tool, so its
structural checking capabilities are limited, but it makes an attempt to
report syntactical errors as well as providing some lint-like features.
Changes: Regular expressions are now pre-generated in order to avoid
HTML::Tagset and Regex::PreSuf runtime dependencies.

About: GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
Security Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms. SASL is used
by network servers such as IMAP and SMTP to request authentication from
clients, and in clients to authenticate against servers. The library
includes support for the SASL framework (with authentication functions
and application data privacy and integrity functions) and at least
partial support for the CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS, PLAIN,
SECURID, DIGEST-MD5, LOGIN, NTLM, and KERBEROS_V5 mechanisms.
Changes: This version fixes various compile time warnings. There was a
revamp of GNUlib compatibility files, and more translations were added.

Sat, Aug 7th 2004 19:09
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP
About: Nail is a mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1. It is
intended to provide the functionality of the POSIX mailx command with
built-in support for MIME messages, IMAP (including caching and
disconnected operations), POP3, and SMTP. Nail offers its full command set
both for interactive and batch use, and is especially useful for sending
attachments from scripts or for reading mail via slow connections and on
bad terminals. In recent system environments, nail is Unicode/UTF-8
capable.
Changes: IMAP mailboxes can now be cached locally. The cache can also be
used for disconnected operation, i.e. to view and alter IMAP mailbox
contents without an active connection to the IMAP server. Fetching
message headers from IMAP servers has been made faster. The 'newmail'
variable is no longer always active for IMAP mailboxes. The user is now
reliably notified if messages have been expunged on the IMAP server. Some
small fixes were made for the 'account', 'folder', 'inc', and 'newmail'
commands. Nail compiles without OpenSSL out of the box again.

Sat, Aug 7th 2004 12:16
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
About: Walker is a Python script that updates entire Web sites. It matches
the remote site to your local copy using FTP. Once you set it up, it will
upload any files that have changed in size, delete any remote files or

added locally. The default deletion of files and directories can be
overridden on the command line. Walker allows you to update your entire
site by going online and then running one command in a terminal. It also
includes Scpper.py, which updates a site in a similar manner, using scp.
Changes: The user in Scpper is now a command-line parameter. Scpper was
rewritten to be a class instead of a script. The Scpper -d option, which
prints the filenames of pending uploads, was added for dry runs.
