Version 3.0.90 (CVS)
+* Fuller SMTP timeout control
+
+In order to more fully control SMTP transactions, new timeout value
+is introduced: initial-response-timeout. This is the maximum time
+to wait for the remote to issue the initial SMTP response. This value
+is especially useful for dealing with the servers that impose a
+delay before the initial reply (most notably "CommuniGate Pro"
+ones"). The default value is 30 seconds which should be enough for
+most normal servers. See the documentation, node "SMTP Timeouts" for
+the detailed discussion.
+
+* No more `retry' options.
+
+The `retry' options and pragmas have been removed. The new timeout
+control scheme warrants that the polling will take at most the given
+interval of time. In particular, that affects:
+
+** Command line option `--retry'
+** Pragma options io-retry and connect-retry
+
* Bugfixes
** Fix storing the macro values obtained from Sendmail
** Collect zombie subprocesses as soon as possible
** Fix arithmetical expression syntax in rc.mailfromd
** Fix multiple from address handling
+** Fix race condition when using GDBM
