the upstream changelog for 1.3 mentions:
v1.3:
Applied a patch from Benjamin Boksa to fix highlight under MacOS IE
Included French localization
Fixed an (unexploitable) stack-overflow from very repeated keywords
Changed date widths to 170 for MSIE under Windows 2000.
Decoding of international headers no longer injects incorrect spaces
Message-id now don't break in some timezones during daylight savings
Use sysexits.h if available for mailer compatible return codes
Increased maximum lengths of some config-file fields
Suggest attachment filenames via Content-Disposition
Due to popular demand, reversed the direction of thread arrows
Fixed transparency of the house icon under IE
as already mentioned, it is a bugfix-only release, and at least the
'header decoding' and 'daylight saving' fixes are important as they fix
lurker's archiving mechanism. it would be very useful to push these
fixes into sarge.
for the debian package, the only changes are:
1.3-2:
* patched common/MessageId.cpp to make lurker compile with gcc-2.95
* updated french debconf templates, thanks to Eric (closes: #308354)
1.3-1:
* new bugfix-only upstream release
* updated czech debconf templates, thanks to Miroslav Kure
(closes: #307169)
1.2-6:
* patch lurker/CharsetEscape.cpp: lurker parsed mutt-generated
subject headers incorrectly (closes: #306859)
* add a note in NEWS.Debian to inform admins about the fact that
they have to regenerate lurkers database to apply the parsing
fix.
* updated french debconf templates, thanks to Eric (closes: #298958)
the patch from 1.2-6 is included upstream in 1.3.
the patch from 1.3-2 is a one-line fix, adding one more #define line.
unfortunately there are no debian bugreports which mention the bugs in
1.2-5. nevertheless the bugs exist, and it would be better to have a
fixed lurker in sarge.
