proftpd (1.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

     Starting from 1.3.0 proftpd support  DSO and debian packaging moved
     to  a single  package  style, in  respect  with the  multi-binaries
     package  previously used.  The  list of  modules  (all modules  are
     enabled per default) is  visibile in /etc/proftpd/modules.conf. You
     could  also need  to  comment  out the  unused  SQL backend  module
     loading (mod_sql_mysql  or mod_sql_postgres) in that  file in order
     to  have  the right  SQL  engine  working. Another  possibility  is
     specifying a suitable AuthOrder in your configuration file.

     mod_sql_mysql should handle old MySQL password format more
     gracefully.  Starting with MySQL 4.1.1, the format for passwords stored
     using the MySQL PASSWORD() function changed.  This format change causes
     issues for sites that have passwords stored in the older format.  Users
     of mod_sql+mod_sql_mysql would see this as users being unable to login.
     Now, if compiled against MySQL 4.1.1 or later, mod_sql_mysql will first
     check the password using the current MySQL format; if that fails it
     will fall back to checking the old format.  Note that this only affects
     sites which have "SQLAuthTypes Backend" in their proftpd.conf.
