3.2.0, 2006-08-05

  + Fixed problem where ncftpbatch may requeue downloads when the local file
    was the same as the remote file.

  + ncftpls has been enhanced so that using the new -m option will
    have it try a machine-readable list command.  These commands need to be
    implemented on the remote server for it to work.

  + ncftpls can now try to attempt to filter the files with a wildcard
    with the new -i option.  For this option to work, this functionality
    must be properly implemented in the FTP server software.

  + ncftpls can also now behave similar to /usr/bin/find, with the new -g
    option.  When invoked with -gg, it appends a slash to directory pathnames
    so you can distinguish files from directories.

  + Fixed a problem with ASCII translation where a CR+LF may not have
    been converted to the local text EOLN format if the CR+LF was split
    over an internal block boundary.  The ASCII translation code has
    been rewritten so it is also more tolerant of malformatted text,
    such as CR+CR+LF end-of-lines.
 
  + You can now edit remote files, thanks to <jess AT thrysoee.dk>.  The
    new "edit" command downloads to a temporary file, runs your $EDITOR,
    and uploads any changes back to the remote server.  Naturally this
    requires both read and write permission on the remote server.

  + Handling "~" in paths a little better.  Try to expand it to the
    remote home directory for remote commands, and the local home directory
    for local commands.

  + Progress meters now output to stderr.  This eliminates a problem
    when using ncftpput with "-c" mode, which would result in a corrupted
    file.

  + More careful about trimming the $HOME/.ncftp/log file so it does not
    get too small.

  + You can now resume uploads when uploading into a temporary file
    (e.g. ncftpput's -S and -T options for using a temporary suffix or prefix).

  + The utility programs' "-X" option has been enhanced so it will
    automatically translate some /usr/bin/ftp commands into the raw RFC 959
    FTP protcool commands that are required for this feature.

  + Fixes for Cygwin.

  + Some fixes for largefile support on Windows.

  + You can now resume transfers in ASCII mode, rather than just binary.

  + Fixed a problem with recursive uploads for Windows.

  + Opening a site with a bookmark no longer assumes that the server's
    software has the same configuration (i.e. if it did not support SIZE
    before, it now checks for SIZE each time rather than assuming each
    time the site is opened that the server does not support SIZE).

  + You can now use an empty password if your user account does not have
    a password.

  + Fixed a problem in the "ls" implementation for international
    month names.

  + Fixed a bug where Type of Service socket options were being set
    with IPPROTO_TCP instead of IPPROTO_IP.
