* Fix segfault when timeout or connection reset encountered while
article header is read.
* fetchnews will no longer re-fetch the active file for a server if it
has been completely received even if fetching articles from this server
encounters a problem. Long-standing bug. Debian bug #70052.
* fetchnews will now properly mark the active for complete re-fetch if
it says so. Previously, it forgot the mark in some circumstances. A
problem fetching the active file or descriptions for a newly added
server will now mark the active for re-fetch even if articles have
successfully been retrieved from the same server.
* Fix use-after-free segfault when server dies while body is being
received.
* Support quoted strings on the right hand side of configuration lines.
* Support IPv6 in fetchnews as well.
* In LIST ACTIVE/GROUP, keep group interesting in spite of being
pseudo (which includes empty) as long as it is interesting. Avoids
unsubscription of low-traffic groups that fall empty.
* nntpd will now disable ln_log()'s sending its logging to the
console (stderr usually), to prevent them from being seen by the
newsreader, which then gets confused.
* Usage fixes and usage info update
* Fix memory leaks
* Other bug fixes

Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a
few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net.
The work in this package is based on that of Ingolf Steinbach
in PR#13830. wiz@ made some suggestions as well. Thanks to both of them.
