Features:
* sfeed_update: use xargs -P for improved job handling when updating feeds in
parallel.
* sfeed_update: update default maxjobs from 8 to 16.
Fixes:
* sfeed_json: fix name of "url" field for attachments.
* sfeed_opml_export and sfeed_update: allow only regular files.
* sfeed_update: improve compatibility with zsh as a non-interactive shell,
because some variables likes like $path and $status are reserved.
* sfeed_update:
when the feeds() function is not defined then exit with status code 1 (this
was incorrectly status code 0).
* sfeed_update: improvements in the cleanup of temporary files for edge-cases.
Code improvements:
* sfeed_curses/sfeed_gopher: mark functions as static.
* sfeed_gopher: fix a clang-analyzer warning (no difference in behaviour).
* sfeed_update: in the order() function suppress output to stderr, like merge()
already does.
* Some small documentation improvements.
There was some work in adding tests for sfeed_update. This makes testing for
regressions on many platforms faster to spot.

TUI feed reader for RSS, Atom, and (eventually) Podcasts. VIM keybindings.
Ranger-inspired interface. Configurable.
On first boot, Moccasin will create both a database and a config file in your
default config directory, which varies depending on your platform.
The moccasin.toml file can be edited to customize app behavior, add feeds in
bulk, change the color scheme, etc. Most of these properties can be changed
from within the application as well, which will write to this file.
To create a custom color scheme, the color_scheme field can be declared as a
table in which the keys are interface elements and the values are either a
built-in ANSI color (which will inherit from your terminal emulator),
a HEX color, or in InlineTable with fg and bg properties of the same type.
The application uses VIM-style keybinds, but arrow keys can also be used for
navigation. At the moment, the app has a NORMAL mode and a COMMAND mode.
In future, you should also be able to tag and group feeds and items in GROUP
mode.

1.9

Features:
* sfeed_{curses,frames,gopher,html,plain}: add $SFEED_NEW_MAX_SECS
By introducing the new environment variable $SFEED_NEW_MAX_SECS in some
sfeed_* utilities marking feeds as new based on comparing their age, it is now
possible to override this age limit. The default limit was the last day (86400
seconds).
This allows, for example, to be notified about new feeds within the last
hour with by prefixing new items with " N ":
SFEED_NEW_MAX_SECS=3600 sfeed_plain ~/.sfeed/feeds/*
While creating a web report for last week's news by:
SFEED_NEW_MAX_SECS=604800 sfeed_html ~/.sfeed/feeds/*
This marks the items of the last week as bold in HTML.
Based on the initial patch by Alvar Penning, thanks!
* sfeed_update/sfeedrc: add url a as parameter to the filter() and order()
function This makes it easier to set filters or ordering by pattern matching on
a group of feeds by the feed URL. For example for Youtube or Reddit feeds.
* sfeed_curses: move one line down when marking an item as read or unread.
I don't mind either behaviour, but it has been suggested by a few people. For
example the mutt mail client also has this behaviour.
Fixes:
* Improve to use proper includes.
Reduce using some of the unneeded sys/* headers too. Using the C99 includes.
* sfeed_atom: for gmtime_r() make the error message consistent with sfeed_mbox.
* Makefile: change Gentoo commented example from -lcurses to -lncurses.
* sfeed_markread: fail early if creating a temporary file failed.
Code-cleaning / pedantic fixes:
* sfeed: datetounix: code-style, change , to separate lines (-Wcomma).
* sfeed_curses: make struct urls static like the other variables.
* sfeed_gopher: reduce scope and shadowing of a variable (no effective change though).
* xml.h: _XML_H_: macro name with an underscore is a reserved identifier.
Documentation:
* Improve note about CDNs and HTTP User-Agent blocking and change the example
in sfeedrc.5 by setting a User-Agent.
* sfeedrc.example: add comment to reference to the man pages and README file.
* README: RSS 0.90+ is supported (not 0.91+).
* Typo fixes, consistency and structure fixes and some rewording.
In many cases the reasoning is poorly documented, or the reasoning
for setting GCC_REQD is to work around a compiler bug. Practically
a c99 compiler is now required for bootstrap (in at least several
dependencies) so we can entirely rule out GCC versions before 3.0.
1.2.0 2023-06-08 Release
--------------------------
Important notes:
- The experimental option USE_CUSTOM_FONTSIZE has been removed
Since FLTK 1.4 there is a resize feature via keyboard (Ctrl-+/-).
- Doxygen 1.9.4 is now required to build the documentation.
Bug fixes:
- GUI: Callback for "Mark all groups read" fixed to not block any
further operation if confirmation was "No" (reported by Marcel Logen).
- GUI: Callback for "Next unread group" fixed to not always select the
first group with unread articles (reported by Dennis Preiser).
- CONF: Update of configuration data fixed (formerly truncated if
filesystem was full). Return values of flush operations are now
checked before rename() is executed.
- GUI: Group list is now updated to previous group after group selection
error (reported by Michael Uplawski).
- GUI: No longer show busy mouse cursor after group selection if article
tree/list has no drawing area (reported by Michael Uplawski).
- ENC: Memory leak fixed in MIME Content-Disposition decoder.
- TLS: Memory leaks fixed.
- TLS: OpenSSL 3 version number is now printed correctly on terminal.
- GUI: Soft hyphens are now handled consistently with all FLTK backends
(formerly X11 rendered all SHY characters visible, as defined by
ISO 8859-1, while Pango and Cocoa rendered SHY characters invisible).
- FILTER: Documentation of scorefile syntax fixed (type "extended" is no
longer supported).
- CORE: Doxygen documentation of function core_get_msgid() fixed.
New features and improvements:
- GUI: French translation added for NLS support (provided by yamo').
NLS documentation updated for hexadecimal-escape-sequence (not
allowed in translated strings).
- GUI: Option to skip to next group while searching for next unread
article added (can be enabled with a nonzero value for the new
"unread_in_next_group" entry in configfile) (proposed by Thomas
Barghahn).
- GUI: No longer uses Fl_Pack widget because behaviour has changed in
recent FLTK 1.4.0 snapshots (reported by Dennis Preiser).
- CONF: Support for custom colors in displayed article added
(based on patch from Martin Schnitkemper).
- INET: Support for user defined TCP connection timeout (suggested by
yamo'). Option CFG_TCP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT in CONFIG added.
- GUI: With FLTK 1.4 (or FLTK 1.3.3 ABI) the horizontal scrollbar of the
article tree or list respectively is moved to a sensible position.
- CORE: Header field "Newsgroups" can now be extracted from overview, if
present. Scoring rules of type "group" are applied to all groups of an
Xpost in this case.
- NNTP: Support for LIST OVERVIEW.FMT command (RFC 3977) added.
- NNTP: Experimental support for MAXARTNUM extension added.
Intended to be compliant with the RFC draft provided by Julien Élie
in Message-ID <tnqm14$35bas$1@news.trigofacile.com>.
- ENC: Zero-width space (ZWSP) is now used too as line breaking hint for
the format "flowed" decoder.
- GUI: URI delegation: Separate error message for invalid encoding.
- EXT: External URI handler returns a flag to indicate invalid encoding.
- EXT: Examples for postprocessor added in subdirectory "postproc"
(suggested by yamo').
- EXT: Example for external editor added in subdirectory "editor".
- CONF: Documentation of configfile entry "cancelkey" modified (added
note that "fqdn" entry must also be set to create Cancel-Lock/Key
header fields).
- FILTER: Documentation of scorefile modified (added notes that scoring
rules can be shared).
- Build system: The mkconfig script now checks for POSIX.1c-1995
Thread-Safe Functions (TSF) option too. Usage is forced by default via
CFG_FORCE_TSF option in CONFIG.
- Build system: The C++ object files are moved to the beginning of the
list. This can reduce build time with make utilities that support
parallel build.
- Build system: BSD install utility now deletes existing target files
before copying new ones. This solves problems with macOS on machines
with Apple Silicon and signed binaries (patch from Dennis Preiser).
- Unicode database updated to version 15.0.0
Almost all uses, if not all of them, are wrong, according to the
semantics of BUILD_DEPENDS (packages built for target available for
use _by_ tools at build-time) and TOOL_DEPEPNDS (packages built for
host available for use _as_ tools at build-time).
No change to BUILD_DEPENDS as used correctly inside buildlink3.

upstream changelog:
Changes in 2.7.1 (2023-04-16)
* Added a new *groupexactcount* parameter in readers.conf to force nnrpd
to report the exact number of still existing articles in newsgroups
instead of an estimated count. When the estimated number of articles
is strictly below *groupexactcount* (set to 5 by default), nnrpd now
recounts them and reports the actual value (articles that have been
cancelled or overwritten in self-expiring CNFS buffers may otherwise
still be counted in the estimate). News clients will then be directly
aware of empty newsgroups; they would otherwise have tried to retrieve
possible articles, to finally not show anything to the user.
* Programs sending mails now include, when appropriate, an
Auto-Submitted header field in the message headers (either set to
"auto-generated" or "auto-replied", following the recommendation in
RFC 3834). Thanks to Harald Dunkel for this suggestion which will for
instance help to avoid unnecessary vacation replies.
* Added a new -a option to innmail to specify additional header fields
to add in the headers of messages. This is notably used to internally
support the addition of the Auto-Submitted header field in outgoing
mails.
* Added new ovsqlite-util program to perform some basic consistency
checks and dump operations on an overview database using the ovsqlite
method. More checks and features will be added in future releases.
You'll need the "DBI" Perl module with the "DBD::SQLite" driver
installed on your system to use this program.
* Added TLS support in pullnews for connections to upstream servers
configured in pullnews.marks, and to the downstream server in the
existing -s flag. A port can now also be specified for connections to
upstream servers (it was already possible for the downstream server
only).
* Added a new -L option to pullnews to specify the largest wanted
article size in bytes. Articles whose size exceeds that value will no
longer be downloaded by pullnews.
* pullnews now detects a socket timeout while downloading articles from
a remote peer. The download gracefully stops, and another attempt can
be automatically made according to the setting given with the -t flag.
Thanks to Jesse Rehmer for the bug report.
* Fixed the generation and the handling of storage tokens on wrapped
CNFS buffers, thanks to bug reports from Kamil Jonca:
* Duplicate entries were returned by makehistory on fully wrapped
cyclic buffers (the first article of the cyclic buffer appeared
twice in the output).
* The first article of a fully wrapped cyclic buffer was removed too
soon from history (expire wrongly thought its storage token was no
longer existing after a wrap).
* The first article of the previous cycle number of a cyclic buffer
containing articles from two different cycle numbers was wrongly
considered by makehistory to belong to the current cycle number.
* innd no longer dies when a newsfeeds entry has an unexpected trailing
whitespace.
* The size of duplicated articles was counted twice in totals, average
article sizes and graphs by innreport, when parsing innd checkpoints.
Thanks to Hauke Lampe for the patch to count it only once.
* Customizing the domain part of Message-IDs generated by nnrpd and the
server name indicated in Injection-Info header fields is now easier:
the *domain* parameter in the access blocks of readers.conf can be
directly used (without needing to set *virtualhost* as it was
previously the case).
* If the *domain* parameter is set in inn.conf or in a readers.conf
access block, and has invalid characters, or if the fully qualified
domain name (FQDN) of the news server has invalid characters when
*domain* is unset, a fatal error is now reported at startup. It is a
basic configuration error which otherwise leads to the generation of
invalid article Message-IDs.
* Improved the speed of article searches with HDR, LAST, NEXT, and XPAT
commands when there is a (huge) gap in article numbers. On newsgroups
with several millions of consecutive missing articles (which is a rare
situation), these commands could take several seconds to run.
* Incoming articles in newsgroups that have exceeded the maximum number
of articles they can contain (2^31-1) are now correctly rejected. INN
was otherwise happily accepting them but either numbers returned in
NNTP responses were not right, or some news clients choked when
receiving unexpected large article numbers. (The current version of
the NNTP protocol only allows article numbers up to 2^31-1.)
* Fixed the renumbering of reported low water marks for empty newsgroups
in active after overview expiration, when using the ovsqlite method.
They were set to 1 for empty newsgroups whereas they were not supposed
to decrease. (These reported low water marks regained their expected
values during the next overview expiration, provided that the
newsgroup was no longer empty.)
* The reported high water mark of empty newsgroups is now correctly set
to one less than the reported low water mark in overview data.
(Previously, the reported low water mark was set to one more than the
reported high water mark.)
* Fixed the output of the "ctlinnd feedinfo ''" command that was
returning information only for the first site, and the output of the
"ctlinnd name channel" command that was returning partial information
for the requested channel.
* The build of external programs which include inn/storage.h was failing
because of the unexpected inclusion of config.h in one of the included
headers. Also, a few Autoconf results were not correctly made
available to external programs. This is now fixed.
* Fixed the build on systems whose default shell does not completely
meet the Posix standard. A few build scripts were run with the
default shell instead of the one found by Autoconf and afterwards used
for INN.
* Use standard daemon(3) C function, when available, to daemonize innd,
nnrpd, ovdb_server and ovsqlite-server instead of an INN-specific
function.
Upgrading from 2.6 to 2.7
The following changes require your full attention because a manual
intervention may be needed:
* The *require_ssl* parameter in readers.conf has been renamed to
*require_encryption* as it applies to any kind of encryption layers,
including TLS and SASL security layers. Since innupgrade only takes
care of the change in the file named readers.conf, you will have to
manually rename that parameter in configuration files for nnrpd with
an alternate name.
* The innreport.conf file in *pathetc* has been split into a general
configuration file (innreport.conf itself) and a display configuration
file (innreport-display.conf in *pathlib*). If you made local changes
in sections other than the *default* section in innreport.conf, and
wish to keep them, then you need renaming the new
innreport-display.conf file to another name in *pathlib*, setting this
local file name in the new *display_conf_file* option in
innreport.conf, and re-applying your local changes to that local
display configuration file.
As a matter of fact, the default display configuration file would
otherwise be overwritten each time INN is updated. Bug fixes or
enhancements are made from time to time to the display configuration
of innreport, and previously couldn't be automatically be merged in
innreport.conf on update. This new separate configuration file to
parameterize the display will now permit an automatic update (if of
course you use the default display configuration file).
* A new inn-secrets.conf configuration file has been added in *pathetc*.
The intent is that, from now on, new secrets used by INN are added to
that file, and that all secrets currently stored in several other
configuration files eventually move to that file. Make sure it is
properly created during the upgrade, and not world-readable. It
currently only stores the secrets used for the new Cancel-Lock
functionality.
* The -C flag given to innd to disable the execution of cancels has been
deprecated and is no longer taken into account (an error message will
be present in your logs if innd is started with it). Instead, a new
parameter has been added in inn.conf to tune the types of cancels innd
should process. If *docancels* is set to "require-auth", which is the
default if INN has Cancel-Lock support, only articles originally
protected by the Cancel-Lock authentication mechanism can be withdrawn
by a valid authenticated cancel article or a valid authenticated
supersede request. Withdrawals of articles not originally protected
by Cancel-Lock will not be executed. See inn.conf(5) for more details
about the different values of the new *docancels* parameter, and make
sure to parameterize it according to your needs.
* The *refusecybercancels* and *verifycancels* parameters have been
removed from inn.conf. The first was performing an inefficient and
inexact check (that should be done, if wanted, in the special "ME"
entry in newsfeeds, or even better, ask your peers not to feed you
articles with "cyberspam" in the Path header field body); the second
check performed on the newsgroups present in cancel articles was not
useful in innd (this check is relevant to posting agents).
The related lines in inn.conf will be commented by innupgrade during
the upgrade.
* The XBATCH command is no longer enabled by default in innd. You'll
have to explicitly enable that capability by setting the new *xbatch*
parameter to true in incoming.conf for the peers sending you such
compressed batches.
* The *nolist* and *noresendid* parameters in incoming.conf have been
respectively renamed to *list* and *resendid* (and the meaning of
their related boolean values is now the opposite). Besides, the
unused *comment* and *email* parameters in incoming.conf have been
removed. innupgrade will take care of the changes (inverting the
boolean values, and commenting the lines with removed parameters).
* filechan is no longer shipped with INN; it was just a simple version
of buffchan. All calls to "filechan" will be changed to "buffchan -u"
(for its unbuffered mode) in newsfeeds by innupgrade. If you have
local scripts running filechan, you will have to manually take care of
the change.
* send-nntp is no longer shipped with INN. If you have local scripts
running it, you will have to manually adjust them to use nntpsend
which basically does the same thing, better. Or, even greater, use
innfeed if that is possible.
* Wrappers around old Perl and Python authentication and access hooks,
pre-dating INN 2.4.0 and identifiable by the *nnrpperlauth* and
*nnrppythonauth* parameters in inn.conf, are no longer shipped as
samples in INN releases. If not already done, you should either
replace old hooks with new modern hooks or use the possibilities that
readers.conf and regular authenticator and resolver programs offer.
* The libauth.h header file and the libstorage library have been renamed
to libinnauth.h and libinnstorage to homogenize their name with
existing libinnhist library. External programs building or linking
against them need a manual change.
If you are upgrading from a version prior to INN 2.6, see also
"Upgrading from 2.5 to 2.6".
Changes in 2.7.0 (2022-07-10)
* Upgrading to a major release is a good time to ensure that your
configuration files, that are usually kept untouched during normal
updates, are up-to-date: notably control.ctl (with your local changes
in a separate control.ctl.local file), new better default values in
inn.conf and innfeed.conf, improvements in innreport.conf (along with
innreport-display.conf) and innreport.css, fixes in innwatch.ctl,
updated moderators and nocem.ctl files.
You may also want to check that the PGP keys used to verify the
signature of control articles and NoCeM notices are still up-to-date
and working. The keys of a few hierarchies and NoCeM issuers have
recently changed.
* Bo Lindbergh has implemented a new overview storage method based on
SQLite, known for its long-term stability and compatibility. Robust
and faster at reading ranges of overview data, but somewhat slower at
writing, this new SQLite-based method is a perfect choice to store
overview data.
To select it as your overview method, set the *ovmethod* parameter in
inn.conf to "ovsqlite". Details about ovsqlite, the ovsqlite.conf
configuration file and how to switch to that new modern overview
storage method can be found in the ovsqlite(5) and makehistory(8) man
pages.
* Julien Elie has implemented Cancel-Lock support in innd and nnrpd,
based on RFC 8315 and libcanlock. A new inn-secrets.conf
configuration file has been added in *pathetc* wherein you can set the
secrets to use for Cancel-Lock. See the inn-secrets.conf(5) man page
for more details.
A new -F flag is recognized by innconfval to indicate the type of file
to parse (by default, "inn.conf"); just run "innconfval -F
inn-secrets.conf" to get the values of that new configuration file.
Another new flag, -f, permits specifying another file name to parse
than the standard one.
The *addcanlockuser* parameter has been added in readers.conf to
deactivate the generation of user-specific hashes when several
different posters have the same identity in an access group. This
parameter also permits setting whether the hash, when generated, is
based on the username or the (static) IP of the connection.
* Added a new tool, gencancel, to help the news administrator generate
authenticated cancel control messages, with the expected admin
Cancel-Key hashes. See the gencancel(1) man page for more details.
* A new *docancels* parameter has been added in inn.conf to define which
types of cancels innd should process. The -C flag given to innd is
deprecated in favour of that new parameter (you'll see in your logs
the message "innd -C flag has been deprecated and has no effect; use
docancels in inn.conf" in case you're passing that flag to innd).
* Andreas Kempe has implemented blacklistd support in nnrpd. This
daemon, available notably in FreeBSD and NetBSD, can be used to
prevent brute force attacks by blocking attackers after a number of
failed login attempts. When nnrpd is run with the new -B flag, and
INN has been configured with the new --with-blacklist option, it will
report login attempts to the blacklistd daemon for potential blocking.
* Building INN with TLS support using LibreSSL is now supported (only
OpenSSL was previously officially supported and tested).
* Fixed the parsing of *hosts* and *localaddress* parameters in
readers.conf; exclusion patterns (beginning with "!") have not been
working since INN 2.5.0.
* Improved the robustness of innxmit when receiving 500 or 501 response
codes from peers, indicating they do not understand the NNTP command
or (wrongly) think there is a syntax error. Richard Kettlewell added
a proper handling of these responses, making innxmit dropping the
refused article instead of keeping sending it over and over (and thus
receiving each time the same error in response codes).
* innreport now collects statistics from innxbatch and generates a
section for them in its reports.
* The innreport.conf file in *pathetc*, previously containing almost
2500 lines, has been split into a general configuration file
(innreport.conf itself, still in *pathetc*, with about 60 lines) and a
display configuration file (innreport-display.conf, a new separate
file in *pathlib*). The name of this display configuration file can
be parameterized in the new *display_conf_file* option in
innreport.conf.
* The -m flag given to mailpost now sets a List-ID header field instead
of a Mailing-List header field.
* rc.news, used to start and stop INN daemons, now checks whether it is
run as the news user. It will exit if not the case, to ensure not to
tamper with the ownership of files INN manipulates.
* filechan has been removed; it was just a simple version of buffchan,
which should now be used.
* send-nntp has been removed; it was just a simple version of nntpsend,
which should now be used (or, even better, innfeed).
* The *refusecybercancels* and *verifycancels* parameters have been
removed from inn.conf. Besides, inews no longer checks if the From or
Sender header fields of a cancel or supersede request match the ones
of the original article being withdrawn. All of these were either
inefficient or inexact checks.
* The *xbatch* parameter has been added in incoming.conf to enable the
XBATCH command in innd for specific remote peers. The default is to
disable the capability.
* The *nolist* and *noresendid* parameters in incoming.conf have been
respectively renamed to *list* and *resendid* (and the meaning of
their related boolean values is now the opposite). Besides, the
unused *comment* and *email* parameters in incoming.conf have been
removed.
* inews no longer adds a Sender header field nor overwrites an existing
one in articles it processes if the new -P flag is used. The Path
header field, if unset, no longer systematically contains the path
identity of the local news server (you may want to add it manually
with the -x flag, if needed). Finally, inews also no longer adds the
obsolescent Lines header field.
* A new -E flag can now be given to inews to silently discard empty
articles, instead of bailing out with an error. Another new -m flag
permits setting the Message-ID instead of letting inews generate one.
And a third new flag, -Y, forces inews to authenticate to the remote
news server even if not asked to.
* signcontrol has been removed as it embeds per-site configuration which
is overwritten each time INN is updated to a newer version, and it is
unlikely you ever need it. Nonetheless, if you need to issue
PGP-signed control messages, you can still download it from
<https://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/>.
* Support in controlchan for obsolete *sendsys*, *senduuname* and
*version* control messages has been removed. These control messages,
long been deprecated, should no longer be sent nor honoured nowadays.
Besides, the "doifarg" keyword in control.ctl is no longer recognized
(it was only used for these three kinds of control messages).
* The *require_ssl* parameter in readers.conf has been renamed to
*require_encryption*, which is a better name as it applies to any kind
of encryption layers, including TLS and SASL security layers.
* Fixed the use of a deprecated API in Kerberos V5. INN now requires
version 1.6.1 or higher of MIT Kerberos v5 to build.
* The libauth.h header file and the libstorage library have been renamed
to libinnauth.h and libinnstorage to homogenize their name with
existing libinnhist library.
* All of the applicable bug fixes from the INN 2.6 STABLE series are
also included in INN 2.7.
Changes:
1.8
---
Fixes:
* sfeed_update: fail early if creating a temporary directory or status file fails.
* sfeed_atom, sfeed_json, sfeed_mbox:
Fix reading past the buffer with an escaped NUL byte (\ NUL).
Note that this could not happen with output from sfeed itself. Only if it was
manipulated.
* sfeed_curses: fix (very hard to trigger) memleak when getline() returns EOF
for lazyloaded items.
* sfeed parser:
* Improve parsing RFC2822 obsolete short year.
* Use errno ENOMEM instead of EOVERFLOW.
This matches the behaviour of setting errno for malloc/calloc on the following
systems too: glibc, musl libc, OpenBSD libc.
* date to unix timestamp: fix incorrect int type to long.
Found while testing sfeed on 16-bit MS-DOS with Open Watcom (for "fun" :)).
* Makefile: remove duplicate CPPFLAGS for sfeed_curses
Features:
* sfeed_json: add JSON output format tool. This formats the TSV data to JSON.
It uses a subset of JSON Feed 1.1: https://www.jsonfeed.org/version/1.1/
Optimizations:
* sfeed_atom: save a few bytes in the output by removing the type="text"
attribute, because for Atom the default for the type is text.
* Slightly reduce stack size for translating XML entities.
A numeric entity could use 5 bytes, so use a round number of 8 bytes.
Misc:
* sfeed: simplify time calculation and make it slightly easier to read.
This also fixes a calculation (possibly a compiler bug) with Open Watcom 1.9.
* Remove the sfeed name in some outputs ("branding").
Documentation:
* Fix some typos and improve code comments, in particular about the time parsing.
* README: sfeed_download example: change youtube-dl to yt-dlp:
this is an active maintained fork.
* README: add error checking for temporary files in the examples.
Aside from the above changes there have been lots of testing on different and
strange systems and the test-cases have been expanded to cover some cases.
These tests are in a separate repo.
Some tested strange systems:
* SerenityOS: gophers://codemadness.org/9/paste/sfeed-serenityos.webm partially
works. The core base utilities like sort are limited and non-POSIX though, so
sfeed_update doesn't work directly there.
* MS-DOS (16-bit and 32-bit extender) using Open Watcom 1.9. Works fine using a
32-bit extender. No 2038-support with 64-bit time_t though, just _unsigned_
32-bit :)
Tested these less-used systems or compilers can be fun and also discover
(pedantic) bugs.
While adding JSON Feed output support (sfeed_json) I also wrote a parser for it
to read the data. It can convert from JSON Feed to Atom. It can also convert
directly from JSON Feed to sfeed(5). It is available at:
https://git.codemadness.org/jfconvert/files.html
1.7
---
Changes:
sfeed_curses:
* Add SCO keys for next, prior (CSI I and CSI G).
Tested on DragonFlyBSD (cons25 console).
* Add SUN keys support.
Tested on OpenIndiana.
sfeed_gopher:
* Remove unnecesary PATH_MAX restricting the path length.
This also makes it compile cleanly on GNU/Hurd.
* Man page and documentation improvements.
Added upstream patch to fix build.

This release fixes a regression from v0.153 where pan can segfault
when reading groups. See issue #156 for details.
Some other cleanup related to gtk2 were done.
Many thanks to Thomas Tanner for the work done on this release.
0.153 "Mariupol" - 2022-11-13
I botched previous release. This release is identical to 0.152
except that Pan is modified to correctly identify itself as version
0.153.
0.152 "Mariupol" (¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿) - 2022-11-12
The main points of this release are:
- Gtk2 was removed from Pan. Only Gtk3 is working.
- Links to old pan.rebelbase.com are replaced with links to
pan gitlab page.
- Pan can be compiled with clang
- Several updated translations: da de hu pl pt_BR sl sr sv tr uk.
0.3.2 Released on 30/08/2022
- Fixed articles sorted by date
0.3.1 Yanked relese
0.3.0 Released on 29/08/2022
- Show timestamp next to articles (can be configured)
- Added new key article-title to configuration (optional)
Changes:
1.6
---
* Code cleanups: unused code and refactored the code for reading read items
from a plain-text URL file list.
* Fix typos in the code and documentation.
* Improve clarity of some code comments.
* Add setsid example to the README.
The package changed with the addition of its libepoll-shim dependency.
Otherwise, we can get:
ERROR: libepoll-shim>=0.0.20210418 is not installed; can't buildlink files.
