Folks,

The HylaFAX development team is pleased to announce our 4.3.0 release! This 
release introduces several powerful new features to HylaFAX, and so we

of course, and this one has plenty. As always, our sincerest thanks go to 
all who participate in the development and testing process.

The README from this release follows. Please read it carefully.

                  *      *      *

This document is intended to describe the significant differences
between hylafax-4.3.0 and older releases, point out any known
incompatibilites and issues, and provide the reader with directions to
further resources regarding HylaFAX.

                          *   NEW FEATURES   *

* JobControl: Allows arbitrary control of outbound jobs, and can
  provide send-side "virtualization" of devices
* DynamicConfig: Improved to allow arbitrary control of inbound
  jobs, and can provide receive-side "virtualization" of devices
* Internationalization: Templating system for translating the
  emails HylaFAX sends into other languages, with out-of-the-box
  support for French, German, Italian, Polish, Portugese and Spanish.

                         *   KNOWN ISSUES   *

** Please refer to HylaFAX Bugzilla for a detailed list of issues.

                       *   INCOMPATIBILITIES   *

* QualifyCID is obsolete, having been replaced by DynamicConfig
* DestControls is obsolete, having been replaced by JobControl
* Some modem config files generated from earlier versions' config file
  prototypes may contain Class1TCFRecvHack.  This is no longer desireable
  for production use, and this feature should now only be used for
  debugging purposes.
* If upgrading from any release older than 4.2.2, be advised
  that CIDName/CIDNumber are now part of a larger CallID framework.
* libtiff-3.6.1 is fatally flawed when dealing with Group 3 images.
  Don't use it as-is.

                      *   WHO SHOULD UPGRADE?   *

Several new features have been added in this release that may be of
considerable value to many users. We have also made imporant fixes to
client-server timezone handling, the batching of outbound jobs, the
Class 1 fax protocol's handling of V.34, and PAM on Solaris. For these
reasons, this is a recommended upgrade for all users. Anyone presently
using DestControls should study the new JobControl feature carefully
and test migration to the new framework before upgrading a production
server. Likewise, those using QualifyCID to reject faxes from certain
callers should become familar with DynamicConfig and RejectCall.

                     *   HYLAFAX BINARY PACKAGES   *
