+
+  - Added two optional (and experimental) parameters to firma.conf:
+    USE_GPG_HIDDEN_RECIPIENT_OPTION and SEND_MESSAGES_USING_BCC. If
+    both are enabled, firma will use GnuPG's --hidden-recipient
+    option (available from version 1.4.0 onwards) and send list
+    messages to all subscribers at once, using BCC. This should
+    speed up message processing, specially on lists with several
+    subscribers.
+
+  - Major changes on functions SendListMessage and SendWarningMessage
+    to implement the two options above, and some minor changes on
+    functions SendBounceMessage and ProcessMessage.
+
+  - Added a new check on function CheckFirmaConfigFile, to make sure
+    GnuPG's version is 1.4.0 or later in case
+    USE_GPG_HIDDEN_RECIPIENT_OPTION is enabled.
+
+  - Added/removed some local variables:
