[hylafax-users] RC1: HylaFAX release 6.0.0

[Aidan Van Dyk <aidan@xxxxxxxx>]

The HylaFAX development team is pleased to announce the first release
candidate of HylaFAX 6.0.  HylaFAX 6.0 contains lots of new development
and features that have accumulated in CVS for the past year since
HylaFAX 4.4 was branched off for stable maintenance.  This release is
available from our FTP site:
	ftp://ftp.hylafax.org/source/testing/hylafax-6.0.0-rc1.tar.gz

MD5SUM:
	e140fc2852bb1fe63d821ef4e6e9c283  hylafax-6.0.0-rc1.tar.gz

SHA1SUM:
	168f9651f8756d6729142dac2169cc47a1cf5d63  hylafax-6.0.0-rc1.tar.gz


HylaFAX 6.0 introduces several new features for HylaFAX:
  * PCL Support
  * hfaxd can sort list output (like sendq) arbitrarily for clients
  * I18n: HylaFAX client strings are now translated and available in
    different languages
  * IPv6 support
  * New permissions in hfaxd to allow for more admin control on who can
    see/modify jobs/faxes (see PublicJobQ/JobProtection/PublicRecvQ)
  * Powerful page range handling capabilities
  * Better faxq/notify integration
as well as many improvements to the T.30 protocol code.

The one notable change if you're upgrading from HylaFAX 4.4 or older is that
the old protocol is no longer supported.  This will only affect you if you've
been using a client that uses the old protocol and hasn't been updated to use
the normal FTP-style HylaFAX protocol.

The full set of release notes is browseable:

You can follow development with CVS or GIT.

CVS:
  cvs -d :pserver:cvs:cvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot checkout hylafax

GIT:
  git clone git://git.hylafax.org/HylaFAX

Please test these and report any problems.  Unless problems are found,
this will become HylaFAX 6.0.0.
