• Make sure a HTTP fetched .remailers file is "touch"ed so that it isn't considered out of date all the time.
• Use the now very standard Data::Dumper for "makenym" pretty-printing (not required unless "makenym" command is used).
• Add a new "delete" command to create a nym deletion request.
• Use the "create" syntax for both creation and modification requests, allowing an extant nym to be used but otherwise "re-initialized" when performing the "modify" command.
• Allow an e-mail address (or even a remailer) to be the final hop, rather than only a newsgate-via-remailer.
• Allow the Subject: to be set independently of Newsgroups: (in support of an e-mail address as the final hop). Only add the hashmarks if there are actually headers to add.
• Make error exit conditions return nonzero to the shell.
• Make --ctype=gpg work properly. Supports GnuPG 1.3.4 and higher, only if compiled with IDEA support; also requires that the chosen nymserver supports OpenPGP (nearly all except nym.alias.net do).
• Exit with error if gpg or pgp exited with an error.
• Add two more public newsgates, and rename the newsgates to _news (so as not to collide with remailer names in "makenym").

• Antonym can now encrypt emails to a chain of remailers.
• It's now possible to generate create and modify messages, encrypt them for anonymous remailing, and send them - all on a single command line.
• Added support for cursory validation of reply blocks.

• CRITICAL UPDATE! Older versions of Antonym mistakenly left out the '**' line in the intermediate stages of reply block creation, possibly causing some information to not be encrypted! Do not trust reply blocks created with versions of Antonym older than 1.7! You have been warned!
• Added support for automatically fetching remailer information from a remote data source.
• Moved much closer to consolidating all PGP calls into one abstraction function.
• Accidently addressed create requests to a nymserver's 'send' address instead of the 'config' address.
• 'nymcrypt' can now correctly encrypt newsgroup postings as well as email messages.

• Important new security features:
• Temporary files are no longer used at all when interacting with PGP. All communication is through pipes, so no data will be written to your hard drive.
• antonym can now use STDIN and STDOUT in addition to named files for I/O. This is good for two reasons:
1. It is now much easier to use antonym as a "filter"
2. Coupled with the first update, you can now decrypt and read incoming messages to your nym without ever writing a single byte of data to your hard drive!
• The 'create' and 'modify' commands now write to a file or STDOUT just like everything else. The '--blockfile' option no longer exists.
• Massive changes. Refactored much of the frame work and added quite a few new features:
• New Getopt options: remailers, mailinformat, mailoutformat, debug.
• Antonym now parses a .remailers file in the standard format to get information about hops, services, etc.
• 'addr' keys in a reply block can now be an email address (as before), the name of a remailer (from .remailers), or the name of a mail2news gateway.
• New 'nymcrypt' command Can a file that looks like an email. An example usage would be to write an email in gnus, pipe that buffer through antonym, and paste the results back into the buffer.
• New 'list' command prints a list of remailers, mail2news gateways, and nymservers that antonym knows about.
• New command 'chainstat' calculates the expected latency and probability of success of a chain of remailers.
• New functions readMailFile() and writeMailFile() make it easy to parse a mail file, operate on its contents, then generate a new one. It should be a very small step to support encrypting a file for resending through a specified remailer.
• Started work to unclutter command output. Errors and warnings now go to STDERR when possible, and debugging messages may now be turned off altogether.
• Added a proper GPL notice.
