This version incorporates auth-ldap and a fix to the BSD
metadata cache code. In order to cleanly integrate the new
authentication code, there has been a slight semantic
change to the operation of authentication in tpop3d. This
is explained more fully in the tpop3d.conf man page in the
new distribution, but basically--

    - previously, users had a `username' which under some
      circumstances would be interpreted as a
      address@hidden string and used for
      authentication; it was up to individual
      authenticators to do this parsing.

    - If append-domain was switched on, then a username
      without a separator might be passed to
      authenticators with an @domain suffix.

    - Now, the concept of a local-part separate from a
      username is maintained throughout the code.
      `Username' always refers to the string which the
      client supplied.

    - If a client supplies a string with no separator in
      it, and append-domain is not switched on, then no
      local-part is generated and only a username and
      domain are passed to authenticators.

    - If append-domain is switched on, then the username
      is also used as the local-part when authentication
      is retried.

    - If there is a separator in the username, then the
      local-part and domain specified replace those
      derived by other means.
