PGP Public Key Server NEWS file
                                       
   This file lists only changes which are ``significant'' in my opinion.
   Other changes and bug fixes have been made.
   
   For general information about the keyserver, visit the keyserver home
   page.
   
Changes in version 0.9.4

     * Converted to Sleepycat Software Berkeley DB version 2.7.5.
     * mmap()d input files instead of reading them when possible.
     * The database may be split into multiple smaller files.
     * When a key does not parse, return a soft error to the user and
       continue processing the input keyblock.
     * When extending lists in the database, do so in chunks, rather than
       one entry at a time. This improves performance when adding keys.
     * Allow the administrator to limit the maximum duration of the LAST
       mail server command.
     * Allow the administrator to limit the number of keys returned by
       index, verbose index, get, and last requests.
     * Use the log, lock, and transaction features of Berkeley DB.
       
Changes in version 0.9.2

     * Added support for pgp 5's DSA and ElGamal keys.
     * Added support to short-circuit the normal output paths in
       pksclient, and instead output indexes and binary keys directly to
       stdout. This saves a lot of virtual memory.
     * Removed many gmake-isms from the Makefile.
     * In the index pages from the web server, links in the User ID look
       up by KeyID instead of name, to eliminate ambiguity.
     * Fixed defunct process leak on some platforms, notably solaris.
     * Check for and, if necessary, use bsd4.2/ultrix 2-argument openlog.
     * The help files now must have a (possibly empty) MIME header block.
       This allows help files to use non-ascii character sets.
     * keyrings returned by the mail server have content-type
       application/pgp-keys, as per rfc2015.
     * fixed a double-memory-free.
     * pksd is more careful about shutting down cleanly when it receives
       a non-fatal signal (INT, QUIT, HUP, TERM).
