Is there any real value to upgrading from 3.10 to something hivher?--If
so, what is it?
I've included the entire HISTORY entry for 3.11pre7 below, but I'll
point out a few that have made me especially glad that I've stayed
current:
- Regression bug since v3.06, procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs
didn't allow any arguments to be passed, fixed
- Whole line comments among the conditions are recognised
- Embedded empty lines in a recipe are tolerated
- Finally fixed this mess with transparent backup to kernel
locking methods when the spool directory is not writable
- Severe tweaking on ^FROM_MAILER and ^FROM_DAEMON to reduce
false matches
- New macro ^TO_, delimits addresses more accurately than ^TO
And, not to be overlooked, the most fatal one of all:
Fixed potential memory corruption bug for machines that have
sizeof(off_t)>sizeof(off_t*) (has been around for ages)
Of course, this only holds if you have a machine which has these
large types.
