There have been some major changes since 1.60, both to
the DOS UUCP portions and to the BBS. These include
o Support for compressed outgoing Usenet news (you can give
a compressed newsfeed to downstream sites, whereas before only
batch was supported)
o a FOSSIL driver is recognized if one is present. Also, the modem
routines have been enhanced such that it should no longer require
gymnastics to get waffle to answer at high speeds
o improved gatewaying features - hooks are now available to do
custom actions with mail or news on a per site(s) basis. This
helps people who are using waffle to gateway into Fidonet
o a UUQ and UUX are now provided, anonymous UUCP is now secure,
and the UUCP command implements -C option, etc
o the Usenet & UUCP networking documentation for DOS has been
extended and consolidated into a single document
o Several more pages of enhancements
