Release Name: 0.4.5
Released: 2004-11-28


Notes:
------

This release fixes again some important bugs in the stable 0.4.x branch. These 
bugs are on one hand long-standing issues now (hopefully) fixed and on the 
other hand changes made necessary by changes in new versions of external tools 
and libraries like the CAPI library and sfftobmp. 

As promised already with 0.4.4, all further development is concentrated on 0.5.
But as this takes more time than we expected first, I decided to make the 0.4.5 
interim-release. In addition to the fixes, I chose features which were already 
implemented in the 0.5-branch and are not expected to degrade stability
and backported them to be included here.

Update to this release is recommended for all users having problems with 0.4.4
- or wanting to try the new features. ;-)

As always: thanks for all the reports, feedback, fixes and support I received!

I hope that this release will be quite stable and usable for the time we need to
get 0.5 out. Let's see :-)

Changes:
--------

* documentation: 5 man pages are now also created: capisuite(8),
  capisuite.conf(5), fax.conf(5), answering_machine.conf(5),
  capisuitefax(1) (fixes bug #13, thx to Achim Bohnet for reporting)

* scripts: prevent cropping of fax pages by auto-scaling

* core: use shorter, more readable format for Python traceback logging

* scripts: use a SMTP connection to localhost instead of calling the
  sendmail binary for sending mails. Many reports showed that calling
  sendmail manually doesn't work well on quite some systems

* core: behave correctly when DATA_B3_CONF messages come early (thx to
  Karsten Keil for analyzing and a nice fix!)

* scripts: capisuitefax now also accepts PDF files (thx to Jochen Meyer
  and Eckhard Rueggeberg for reporting)

* core: fixed a bug which could lead to a crash when some unexpected
  CAPI messages arrived (thx to Karsten Keil for analyzing)

* core: fixed compile problem with new capi4linux library

* core: fixed a crash which could be caused by wrong DDI parameters
  in capisuite.conf

* scripts: Adapted to work with the new parameters of sfftobmp 3.x.

* scripts: added new options "fax_email_from" and "voice_email_from" to
  answering_machine.conf and fax.conf (thx to Achim Bohnet for submitting
  a patch with this feature!; closes bug #46)
