------------
! There is *no*... version 2.30.

Version 2.29
------------
October 21, 2001

+ dupe detection on gated messages can now be set at the gate itself instead
  of relying on the mail tosser
! UUCP processing in Rex's SMTP daemon can now handle infinite (limited by
  available memory) email address on one C rmail line
! Rex now lingers on the sockets for certain servers to allow clients
  which incorrectly blast data through to still work properly
- Rex wasn't properly constructing nodelist information for BinkP nodes
  which listed the site address after the flag instead of in the BBS name
- resend requests would result in queue entries which never got removed
  when they expired
- outbound FTP client connections now bind to port 20 locally in PASV mode
- Rex could crash if it couldn't create a new packet for inbound gated mail
- a SEAT message with only 2 of 3 required SEAT lines would crash Rex
- updated packing info was not being saved in 32 bit versions
- Rex now correctly processes multi-section UUencoded files with additional
  information between the section line and beginning of the file
- seems to fix an unreproducible problem where PX queue entries remained
  locked after unsuccessful connection attempts
- long subject lines in gated netmail messages could result in random message
  chunk sizes for attached files

Version 2.28 & below snipped ... see file History.Txt in any Beta archive.
