NEWS for lazr.smtptest
======================

1.3 (2011-06-07)
================

- Make the test server thread-safe with other code that starts an asyncore
loop. Requires Python 2.6 or 2.7.

- Be cleaner about stopping the server: before, it left sockets running
ans simply cleared out the socket map. In an associated change, the EXIT
smtp command sends the reply first, and then shuts down the server, rather
than the other way around.

1.2 (2009-07-07)
================

- [bug 393621] QueueServer.reset() was added to clear the message queue. This
is invoked by sending an SMTP RSET command to the server, or through
Controller.reset().


1.1 (2009-06-29)
================

- [bug 391650] A non-public API was added to make QueueController more easily
subclassable.


1.0 (2009-06-22)
================

- Initial release
