Dear DeleGate users,

I inform you of the new release of DeleGate available as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DeleGate/9.8.1 (BETA) -- fixes for Windows 

- Fixed accessing to local directory as an origin server on Windows

  since DeleGate/9.2.2-pre3, DeleGate on Windows could fail access or MOUNT
  to local directory because of stati64 for a directory named with trailing
  "/" like stati64("directory/") fails.  (in 9.2.2, DeleGate switched from
  stat() to stati64() to cope with huge files larger than 4GB)
  This fix will also be applied to the next stable version (9.7.8)

- Fixed MOUNT whith CHROOT=/ as an origin FTP server

  CHROOT=/ causes DGROOT=/ thus a relative path based on DGROOT like
  MOUNT="/* file:*" did generate an absolute path like "//xxx/path" which is
  interpreted by DeleGate as a FTP proxy as a remote path to a server "xxx".

The following fixes are inherited from the stable version (9.7.7):

- Revival of IPv6 on Windows

  IPv6 capability of the binary distribution for Windows has been disabled
  since DeleGate/9.2.2

- Introduced SMTPCONF="MX:server:domain" configuration parameter
- Enabled "onerror=xxx" MountOption for a origin-HTTP server
- Coped with compilation with gcc -g3 option
