-documentation updates and cleanups
-add MultiGuesser destination; it's like MultiSorter, but guesses at the
message recipient based on addresses found in the message header, to be
used for mail sorting if you don't have a proper domain/multidrop mailbox.
-consolidate initialization code from retrievers to RetrieverSkeleton base
class.
-slight change to main script and retriever base classes to change the
way the retriever objects are destroyed and garbage-collected
-get rid of unneeded hostname variable in MultiDestinationBase
-add "Summary:" header line to main script output in verbose mode
-wrap code for 80 columns
-fix error message when a filter doesn't return a message properly.
Thanks: Shantanu Kulkarni.

19 July 2004

-change syntax of MultiSorter's locals parameter. The previous syntax was
fragile and was mostly a holdover from previous versions; it is now a tuple of
items, each of which is a 2-tuple of quoted strings.
-add Python version to --dump output.
-eliminate redundant _confstring() method in _retrieverbases.py.
-small documentation updates.

18 July 2004

-documentation updates.
-include RPM build. Rapidly approaching release state.

-changes to an "impossible" error handler in _child_handler(), just in case.
-move some code from destinations.MultiSorter() into new MultiDestinationBase
base class.
-fix MultiDestinationBase._get_destination()
-add MultiDestination class to deliver messages to multiple destinations
unconditionally.
-cosmetic fixes to output

15 July 2004

-move common child-handling code out of filters and destinations into new
baseclasses.ForkingBase() class.
-add __all__ declarations to modules that were missing them, to help prevent
namespace clutter for others

15 July 2004

-apply the child fix from b3 to Filter_classifier; I missed this in the
update. Thanks: Dave Osbourn.
-cosmetic fix for output describing filters and destination objects.
Thanks: Dave Osbourn.
-catch configuration error of non-multidrop retriever with multidrop-only
destination. This broke when I cleaned up the message attribute interface
in alpha 29. Thanks: Dominik Kacprzak.
