1.2.1
-----

• DB: corrupt index files could crash the database cleanup due to a buffer overflow

1.2.2
-----

• Net: added "Esoteric" page to network settings, allowing users to change the ports used for SMTP, POP3 and NNTP connects.
• DB: when fetching messages and an index wasn't loaded into memory, MD-2 wouldn't close the buffered index file, thus potentially losing data when the system crashed while downloading.
• Net: will now save overall transient data structures after doing a network fetch (to avoid message number mismatchs when crashing -- although this was not really a problem, because the numbers in the group index are recovered when entering a group)

1.2.3
-----

• Net: Status window will now show the "login" message of the relevant service which was contacted
• Net: Download manager will now issue a pop3 LIST command to get the size of the messages in question when necessary (aka, size wasn't returned with the TOP)
• Net: Modified handling of UIDL history. Now UIDL.history is only written when "DELETE MAIL ON SERVER" is turned off (makes no sense otherwise), and the new UIDLs are only written until after the complete message fetch is done (to avoid MD-2 skipping messages during the next fetch which were lost due to a system crash)
• GUI: Message reader now uses Textinput "NoInput" objects for the info lines, thus allowing copy&paste

1.2.4
-----

• Net: fixed obscure behavior when a news server would do a "NEXT" properly, but then bail out on the following "ARTICLE" with some internal error. In that case, MD-2 would abort the news fetch and store an invalid article pointer, thus refetching the group from scratch next time.
• GUI: "Default address" in group prefs is now only available for mail sub groups

1.3
---

• added updated vapor_toolkit.library to release archive
• added updated vapor_registration.library to release archive
• added new Textinput revision to release archive
