postfaq Change History

1.17 (2013-01-08)

Get the last modified date for the FAQ from the file modification timestamp and always add a Last-Modified subheader if the FAQ has subheaders. Add a new -d option to change the default status directory. Add support for authinfo to BUGS.

Lines changed: +49 -31

1.16 (2008-10-05)

Don't include the revision number in the Last-modified subheader unless it contains a period. Subversion revision numbers aren't very interesting.

Don't use strftime to generate the Expires header, since it may translate the month name.

Reformat the documentation and improve the REQUIREMENTS section.
