The first Beta release of OpenDMARC is now available for testing.  It 
can be downloaded from SourceForge.

All of the work this time has gone into improvements in the filter based 
on user suggestions.  Keep 'em coming!

There have been no changes to the library, so there's no need to update 
unless you're using the filter.

The current RELEASE_NOTES entry:

0.2.0		2012/08/??
 	Feature request #15: If there's no SPF Authentication-Results field,
 		look for a Received-SPF field to get SPF results.
 	Feature request #16: Add "RecordAllMessages" setting to record all
 		messages (the previous default).  The new default is to record
 		only those messages whose From: domains had a published
 		DMARC record.
 	Feature request #19: Add "IgnoreMailFrom" setting, allowing mail from
 		specific domains to be ignored.
 	Feature request #20: Allow "AuthservID" to be a comma-separated list
 		of authserv-ids to trust as local.  The first one is used
 		in header field generation.  Suggested by Andreas Schulze.
 	Fix bug #18: Pass the absence of a "rua" field in a DMARC record
 		to the history file and into the "requests" table.
 	Prevent crashes when parsing horribly malformed From: fields.
 		Problem noted by Todd Lyons.
 	Don't apply a default IgnoreHosts list in test mode.  Problem noted
 		by Marcos Digirati.
 	Don't expire request records for stuff that's never been generated
 		yet.  Problem noted by Todd Lyons.
 	Register the filter with SMFIF_ADDHDRS not SMFIF_CHGHDRS.  Problem
 		noted by Todd Lyons.
 	DB: Add some indexes to optimize operations.  Suggested by Todd Lyons.
 	REPORTING: Feature request #17: Add "opendmarc-params" tool, and
 		tie it to opendmarc-import, so that administrators can force
 		reports for specific domains to go to specific destinations
 		regardless of DMARC record contents.
 	REPORTING: Feature request #21: Add "--test" and "--keepfiles" options
 		to opendmarc-reports.  Patch from Todd Lyons.
 	REPORTING: Add opendmarc-importstats.
 	TOOLS: Feature request #14: Add "openmarc-parse" command line tool for
 		translating DMARC records found in the DNS.

This Beta period should last a couple of weeks.  We'll make a formal 
release when this code base appears to be stable.

Thanks to all the testers who have provided feedback!  Looking forward to 
some more good feedback from everyone.
