Subject: WU-FTPD 2.5.0 Released

WU-FTPD 2.5.0 is now available for download.  Two formats are available,
please choose the one best suited to your needs:

  ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-current.tar.gz

This release is believed to be very stable on all platforms.  All users are
STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to upgrade their servers as soon as possible.

Anyone using any 'Academ Beta' version of WU-FTPD 2.4.2, or the original
version 2.4 from Washington University, should UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY to avoid
a number of potentially serious security issues.

Version 2.5.0 marks first official release from the WU-FTPD Development
Group.  This version is based the VR series of upgrades to the Academ
version 2.4.2 release.

The WUFTPD Development Group was formed to foster continued development of
the daemon.  Initial plans call for merging the two major versions of the
daemon: 2.4.2-VR and BeroFTPD.  At this point, however, the release is
solely corrections to the last VR upgrade.
