=====================================================================

New in this release:

* Confirmation mode:
  Instead of being bounced, messages will be stored in a pending-queue
  until the sender responds to a confirmation request.  See `UPGRADE'.

* DATED_TEMPLATE_VARS and SENDER_TEMPLATE_VARS are new variables to
  allow 'dated' and 'sender' address variables to be included in the
  templates.

* A new program, `tmda-clean' which is used to purge old, unconfirmed
  messages from the pending queue.

* Documentation updates.
