2 The difference between 2.2.1 and 3.0
fml 3.0 provides new automatic registration.
fml 3.0 "auto_subscribe" handler uses both actives and members.
If you do not use automatic registration, you have nothing to do.
2.1 Helper tool to upgrade fml 2.x to fml 3.0
auto_regist -> auto_subscribe
2.2 Caution to automatic registration
How to handle member and actives files is different from fml 2.x to
3.0. If you do not use automatic registration, you feel no difference.
I recommend you use "auto_subscribe" handler but you can continue to
use "auto_regist" in fml 2.x.
Your choice follows
switch to use "auto_subscribe" handler (3.0)
continue to use "auto_regist" handler (2.x)
* 1. use "auto_subscribe" handler == move from 2.x to 3.0
fml 3.0 automatic registration uses "auto_subscribe" handler
irrespective of "auto_regist". When you use "auto_subscribe", you
should copy members to actives before you change "auto_regist" to
"auto_subscribe".
Firstly copy members to actives. You have only to do this.
% cp members actives
* 2. You can continue to use "auto_regist" in fml 3.0 too.
You have nothing to do in this case.
Caution: but I do not recommend case 2 since your policy will change.
2.3 Changes from 2.2.1 to 3.0
* automatic subscribe handles both members and actives.
It is correct design but not compatible with past fml release.
* make messages returned from fml be Japanese.
return message in language defined as $MESSAGE_LANGUAGE.
The default of $MESSAGE_LANGUAGE is $LANGUAGE.
$LANGUAGE is defined in installation.
2.4 Other Changes
change $SKIP_FIELDS default to pass through Received:.
It causes too many hops but need to check spam or back trace.
