Extract from the RELEASE_NOTES file:

	Support for the Cyrus SASL version 2 library, contributed by Jason
	Hoos. This adds some new functionality that was not available in
	Cyrus SASL version 1, and provides bit-rot insurance for the time
	when Cyrus SASL version 1 eventually stops working.

	A new smtp_helo_name parameter that specifies the hostname to be
	used in HELO or EHLO commands; this can be more convenient than
	changing the myhostname parameter setting.

	Choice between multiple instances of internal services:  bounce,
	cleanup, defer, error, flush, pickup, queue, rewrite, showq.  This
	allows you to use different cleanup server settings for different
	SMTP server instances.  For example, specify in the master.cf file:

	    localhost:10025 ... smtpd -o cleanup_service_name=cleanup2 ...
	    cleanup2        ... cleanup -o header_checks= body_checks= ...

	Feature: smtp_helo_name parameter to specify the hostname
	or [ip.address] in HELO or EHLO commands. Files: smtp/smtp.c
	smtp/smtp_proto.c.

20020328

	Portability fix for OPENSTEP and NEXTSTEP by Gerben Wierda.
	File: util/sys_defs.h.

20020329

	Bugfix: defer_transports broke because the flush server
	triggered mail delivery (as if ETRN was sent) while doing
	some internal housekeeping of per-destination logfiles.
	Problem experienced by LaMont Jones, HP. File: flush/flush.c.

	Bugfix: virtual mapping broke for addresses with embedded
	whitespace. Fix by Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. File:
	cleanup/cleanup_map1n.c.

	Feature: configurable service name for the internal services:
	bounce, cleanup, defer, error, flush, pickup, queue, rewrite,
	showq. This allows you to specify, for example, a non-default
	cleanup service (smtpd -o cleanup_service_name=alt_cleanup).
	Files: global/mail_params.[hc].

	Feature: SASL version 2 support by Jason Hoos. Files:
	*/*_sasl_glue.c, SASL_README, conf/sample-auth.cf.

20020330

	Bugfix: postqueue did not pass on non-default configuration
	directory settings when running showq while the mail system
	is down.  The super-user is now exempted from environment
	stripping in postqueue/postqueue.c. Problem reported by
	Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley.
