3.0.3 2018-12-05
Build system fixed for cross build (Patch suggested by Helmut Grohne,
modified to work on macOS)
Update provided by Michael Bäuerle via wip.
Version 1.0.3 release notes
===========================
Version 1.0.3 is primarily a bug-fix release. See changes.txt for
details.
Support for SSLv3 has been disabled since it is to POODLE attacks.
On 32 bit systems, support has been added for files larger than 2GB.
Support added for both 32 and 64 bit mingw and cygwin compilers.
Version 1.0.2 release notes
===========================
Version 1.0.2 is primarily a bug-fix release. See changes.txt for
details.
Note: slang version 2.2.3 or later is required. Version 2.3.0 is
the current version.
The intrinsic function get_header_flags was modified to return the
full set of flags when called with an optional argument. Symbolic
constants for the corresponding flags were added to the interpreter
interface.
The value for query_read_group_cutoff was increased to 1000.
Support for building slrnpull on win32 systems was added.

* 1.11.11, 2015-08-25
### BUGFIXES
- The configfile parser now strips whitespace between a configuration
parameter's value and a trailing comment. Found by Cecil Westerhof.
- The roff manual page sources now render proper hyphens (-), minus characters
(\-) and en-dashes (\[en]) depending on their context. This is so that
copying-and-pasting from the manual page works properly.
- The code that checks if the peer is local now properly deals with IPv4
mapped IPv6 addresses.
From Michael Bäuerle via pkgsrc-wip.
New features and changes since tin-2.2.0
New features
------------
- simplified Chinese translation
- handle RFC 2231 parameter value continuation
- skip over RFC 2231 language parameters
- RFC 2231 decoding of non us-ascii MIME-parameter values
- options to color external quotes (extquote_handling, extquote_regex,
col_extquote)
- LookupMessage ('L') in select level if reading via NNTP
Changes
-------
The gTLD list is no longer actively maintained (too many new gTLD recently),
disable_gnksa_domain_check=OFF might result in false positives.
--enable-heapsort is now default during configure (sort_function in tinrc
still needs to be set accordingly if you like to use heapsort instead of
qsort)
--enable-ipv6 is now default during configure
--enable-break-long-lines is now default during configure
sigfile=!/path/to/command no longer passes the name of the current
newsgroup to command. One can specify %G which will be replaced by
the name of the current newsgroup.
To match the old behaviour: 'sigfile=!/path/to/command %G'.
--enable-cancel-locks requires libcanlock-3 (which is included, but
some distros (e.g. debian) are linking against a shared lib which may
be too old).
Retired Features
----------------
. groupname_max_length, can now be set via user defined screen layout at
select level
Packaged for wip by Michael Bäuerle.
libcanlock is a library for creating and verifying RFC 8315 Netnews
Cancel-Locks. This implementation uses the recommended algorithm from
Section 4 with HMAC based on the same hash function as <scheme>.
A command line utility "canlock" is built together with the library.
Additional header parsers (for the receiving side) are available in the
package canlock-hp.
Packaged for wip by Michael Bäuerle.
The canlock-hp package contains standalone header parsers that can be used to
implement RFC 8315 Netnews Cancel-Locks on the receiving (server) side.
They are intended as preprocessors for canlock, the command line frontend of
libcanlock, but are independent programs.
canlock-mhp (Message Header Parser) is intended to process RFC 5536 Netnews
articles and can be used to extract and unfold a single header field.
canlock-hfp (Header Field Parser) is intended to process RFC 8315 header fields
("Cancel-Lock" and "Cancel-Key").
flnews is a client with graphical user interface to read USENET newsgroups.
It is intended for POSIX compliant operating systems running the X window
system.
The main development goals are (in order of importance):
- No bloat
- Support for old workstations
- Standard compliance
- Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others
- Compatibility with other newsreaders
- Usable X display redirection via network (or ssh tunnel)
- Warn users about things that are not forbidden but considered "bad practice"
Features that are currently not implemented (or not usable yet):
- UUCP
- Multiple servers
- Offline mode (for network connection via dialup line)

Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:
pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F
Upgrading from 2.5 to 2.6
The following changes require your full attention because a manual intervention may be needed:
The name and location of the pullnews configuration file have changed. It is now pullnews.marks, located in pathdb when pullnews is run as the news user, or otherwise in the running user's home directory. This file was previously stored in .pullnews in the running user's home directory (even for the news user). If you use pullnews, you need to manually move and rename the configuration file; otherwise, it will no longer work. Note that the -c flag passed to pullnews allows to specify another configuration file, if need be.
The default location of the mailpost database directory has changed from pathtmp to pathdb. If you use mailpost without an explicitly specified database directory (using the -b flag), then you should manually move your current database files mailpost-msgid.dir and mailpost-msgid.pag from pathtmp to pathdb.
If you have been using TLS/SSL with nnrpd before, be aware that the default value of a few inn.conf parameters have changed: the server now decides the preferred cipher (instead of the client), and only TLS protocols are allowed (using the flawed SSLv2 and SSLv3 protocols is now disabled). If you want to change these settings, the respective tlspreferserverciphers and tlsprotocols parameters can be tuned to your needs.
The --with-kerberos configure flag used to add Kerberos v5 support has been renamed to --with-krb5.
The --with-berkeleydb configure flag used to add Berkeley DB support has been renamed to --with-bdb.
The --enable-ipv6 configure flag no longer exists. IPv6 is now unconditionally enabled, if available.
$HOME is no longer exported as an environment variable by innshellvars, innshellvars.tcl and the Perl module INN::Config. It was previously overriding the default user home directory with pathnews. If you use these scripts in your own scripts, you will have to take care of that change.
Owing to the implementation of RFC 4643 (AUTHINFO USER/PASS) in innd, if remote peers have to authenticate in order to feed articles, they now have to send a username (which was previously wrongly optional), before sending their password. The mandatory username, though currently unused by innd, can be whatever the remote peer wishes. In previous versions of INN, inncheck was already complaining when passwd.nntp contained an empty username associated with a password.
A manual review of authenticated feeds should then be done so as to ensure that they are properly working.
The Injection-Date: and Injection-Info: headers are now generated by nnrpd at injection time instead of the NNTP-Posting-Date:, NNTP-Posting-Host:, X-Complaints-To: and X-Trace: headers. Local scripts that were using (for authentication, privacy, etc.) these now deprecated headers should be updated. Also note that the Path: header of locally posted articles can also contain the contents of the deprecated NNTP-Posting-Host: field.
The two addnntppostingdate and addnntppostinghost parameters in inn.conf have been respectively renamed to addinjectiondate and addinjectionpostinghost. innupgrade takes care of the modification only for inn.conf; a manual change will therefore be needed for readers.conf, if these parameters are overridden in this file.
The default values of a few inn.conf parameters have changed to make use of the vastly expanded storage and RAM commonly available today: datamovethreshold (from 8192 to 16384), msgidcachesize (from 16000 to 64000), overcachesize (from 64 to 128), and wireformat (now enabled by default).
The generation of status reports and performance timings are now also enabled by default: logstatus and nnrpdoverstats parameters, with a frequency of 10 minutes (status and timer parameters).
The default value of max-queue-size has changed from 5 to 20, and use-mmap now defaults to true for innfeed.conf.
Changes in 2.6.1
nnrpd now uses -0000 as the time zone for Date: and Injection-Date: header fields it generates. It was previously using +0000, wrongly systematically indicating a local time zone at Universal Time when localtime is set to false (which is the default) in readers.conf. The +0000 time zone will now be used only if localtime is set to true and UTC is really the local time zone of the server.
Julien Elie has implemented in nnrpd the new COMPRESS command described in draft-murchison-nntp-compress that extends the NNTP protocol to allow a connection to be effectively and efficiently compressed. News clients that also support that extension will be able to benefit from that bandwidth optimization and improvement in speed. Moreover, using COMPRESS is more secure than TLS-level compression, as far as authentication credentials are concerned.
The default value for the tlscompression parameter in inn.conf has changed. TLS-level compression is now disabled by default, to comply with the best current practices for a secure use of TLS in application protocols like NNTP. Using the new COMPRESS command is recommended.
The tlscompression parameter in inn.conf now also permits to disable TLS-level compression with OpenSSL 0.9.8. It previously had an effect only when OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later was used.
rnews no longer segfaults at startup when started setuid news. Thanks to Marcus Jodorf for the bug report.
Fixed slow nnrpd responses for a few NNTP commands. The TCP_NODELAY option was unconditionally set whereas only BSD/OS systems needed it. Thanks to Christian Mock for having discovered that.
Articles containing a Received: or a Posted: header field are no longer rejected by nnrpd at injection time.
Articles containing control characters or whitespace-only content lines in their headers are now rejected by nnrpd at injection time.
OpenSSL 1.1.0 support has been added to INN.
When an encryption layer is negotiated during a successful use of the STARTTLS command, or after a successful authentication using a SASL mechanism that negotiates an encryption layer, nnrpd now updates the permissions of the news client according to the new secure state of his connection (that is to say auth blocks in readers.conf using the require_ssl parameter are taken into account). Previously, only connections on a dedicated port (usually 563) were taking benefit from that parameter. Thanks to Steve Crook for the bug report.
When a data integrity layer was negotiated during a successful SASL authentication, nnrpd was wrongly reseting any knowledge obtained from the client, such as the current newsgroup and article number. This behaviour now applies only when an encryption layer is negotiated.
nntpsend now correctly waits until all of the child innxmit processes exit before it does. It was causing nntpsend to fail to work properly on systems that use systemd, because when it exits prematurely, systemd kills all of the processes it launched, including the innxmit processes. Thanks to Jonathan Kamens for the patch.
Update from GNU Libtool 2.4.2 to 2.4.6.
Other minor bug fixes and documentation improvements.
Changes in 2.6.0
The NNTP protocol requires a username to be sent before a password when authentication is used. innd was wrongly allowing only a password to be sent by authenticated peers. See the note above for more details.
The Lines: header is no longer generated by nnrpd at injection time.
The Injection-Date: header is now generated by nnrpd at injection time instead of the deprecated NNTP-Posting-Date: header, when addinjectiondate is set to true. Note that addnntppostingdate has been renamed to addinjectiondate in inn.conf.
The Injection-Info: header is now generated by nnrpd at injection time instead of the deprecated NNTP-Posting-Host: (when addinjectionpostinghost is set to true), X-Complaints-To: and X-Trace: headers. Note that addnntppostinghost has been renamed to addinjectionpostinghost in inn.conf. The Path: header of locally posted articles now also contains the contents of the NNTP-Posting-Host: header.
A new addinjectionpostingaccount parameter has been added in inn.conf. When set to true, the Injection-Info: header field contains an additional posting-account attribute that mentions the username assigned to the user at connection time or after authentication. The default value for this parameter is false.
A few headers are now considered as obsolete by nnrpd at injection time: NNTP-Posting-Date:, NNTP-Posting-Host:, X-Complaints-To:, X-Trace:, Also-Control:, Article-Names:, Article-Updates:, and See-Also: headers.
Besides, nnrpd will similarly reject obsolete sendsys, senduuname and version control messages.
The presence of a Subject: header field beginning with cmsg no longer causes an article to be interpreted as a control message by nnrpd at injection time.
nnrpd no longer differentiates IHAVE from POST. Articles injected with IHAVE are now treated as though they were injected with POST. It means that if the previous behaviour of IHAVE was expected, innd should handle itself the connection instead of nnrpd.
The name of the pullnews configuration file is now pullnews.marks located in pathdb when pullnews is run as the news user, or otherwise in the running user's home directory. It was previously stored in .pullnews in the running user's home directory (even for the news user).
Fixed a leak of semaphores when using buffindexed. Thanks to Richard Kettlewell for having fixed the issue.
Building with Libtool is no longer optional. The --enable-libtool option to configure has been removed.
DESTDIR and non-root installs are now properly supported and documented in INSTALL. The make install, make update and make cert steps properly obey DESTDIR. Besides, it is no longer a requirement that the installation step be done by the superuser, as long as the user executing the install has supplied a DESTDIR value that points to a writable directory, and the person or process performing the install corrects the file ownerships when INN is installed on the system on which it's going to run. Thanks to James Ralston for this support.
When building INN with Berkeley DB, Cyrus SASL, Kerberos v5, OpenSSL, or zlib support, no longer add standard locations to compiler and linker include flags. Such default paths are now added only if explicitly given to one or more of the --with-bdb, --with-bdb-include, --with-bdb-lib, --with-sasl, --with-sasl-include, --with-sasl-lib, --with-krb5, --with-krb5-include, --with-krb5-lib, --with-openssl, --with-openssl-include, --with-openssl-lib, --with-zlib, --with-zlib-include, or --with-zlib-lib configure flags (the flags ending with -include and -lib are new in INN 2.6.0).
If the Berkeley DB, Cyrus SASL, Kerberos v5, or OpenSSL SSL and crypto libraries are found at configure time, INN will now be built with support for them unless respectively the --without-bdb, --without-sasl, --without-krb5, or --without-openssl flags are explicitly passed to configure.
Note that it was already the default behaviour for zlib support when Berkeley DB support was also enabled.
The configure flag --enable-reduced-depends has been added to request that library probes assume shared libraries are in use and dependencies of libraries should not be probed. It therefore tries to minimize the shared library dependencies of the resulting binaries on platforms with proper shared library dependencies. This is not enabled by default, and is of interest primarily to people building packages for distributions.
Building INN with Python support now requires the use of Python 2.2.0 or later as the distutils.sysconfig module used was introduced with Python 2.2.0.
The INN test suite driver is now fully synchronized with the upstream version of the C TAP Harness package maintained by Russ Allbery. Keeping the INN test suite driver up-to-date will be possible thanks to a new getc-tap-harness script in the support directory that automatically fetches the latest upstream changes.
Similarly, the new getrra-c-util script permits to keep most of the utility and portability functions synchronized with the upstream version of the rra-c-util package maintained by Russ Allbery.

Newsbeuter is an open-source RSS/Atom feed reader for text terminals.
It runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and other Unix-like operating systems.

perfect choice for people that need a slick and fast feed reader that can
be completely controlled via keyboard. It's the Mutt of RSS feed readers.
Originally packaged in pkgsrc-wip by Claudio M. Alessi.
for all pkgsrc dir/file ownership rules. Fixes unprivileged
user/group names from leaking into binary packages, manifest as
non-fatal chown/chgrp failure messages at pkg_add time.
Bump respective packages' PKGREVISION.
Previously there were at least 5 different ways MACHINE_ARCH could be set,
some statically and some at run time, and in many cases these settings
differed, leading to issues at pkg_add time where there was conflict
between the setting encoded into the package and that used by pkg_install.
Instead, move to a single source of truth where the correct value based on
the host and the chosen (or default) ABI is determined in the bootstrap
script. The value can still be overridden in mk.conf if necessary, e.g.
for cross-compiling.
ABI is now set by default and if unset a default is calculated based on
MACHINE_ARCH. This fixes some OS, e.g. Linux, where the wrong default was
previously chosen.
As a result of the refactoring there is no need for LOWER_ARCH, with
references to it replaced by MACHINE_ARCH. SPARC_TARGET_ARCH is also
removed.
Existing SHA1 digests verified, all found to be the same on the

* innxmit: tidy up GetMessageID buffer handling In theory, if you
could get a message with an empty message-id header through
before anything else, it would call memcpy(NULL, p, 0) which
(surprisingly) has undefined behavior. This doesn't seem a very
likely contingency but I tidied up the code to avoid it and
(hopefully) be clearer anyway.

Thanks to Richard Kettlewell for the bug report.
* Correctly flush CNFS buffers when nfswriter is true in inn.conf
* Correct remap check in tradindexed group lookup
Previously the remap check had an off-by-one bug and moreover
would never be done due to the loop condition (making the
off-by-one bug moot).
This one could be a problem in real life; if creating a group
causes innd to expand the index then an already-running nnrpd
will not automatically notice, and so won't be able to find the
group.

2014-11-11 iulius
* Improve tuning of the SSL/TLS configuration
nnrpd's TLS support is basically using OpenSSL's defaults WRT
issues such as protocol support and cipher suites. In these days
of POODLEs and other vulnerabilities, it should be useful to be
able to have better control over what's offered. So this patch
adds a few options to inn.conf:
- tlsprotocols: allows to select the SSL/TLS versions that are
supported
- tlsciphers: allows to give an OpenSSL cipher string to tailor
the cipher suites that are offered to clients
- tlspreferserverciphers: switches on the server-side selection
of the cipher suite (TLS default is "client chooses")
- tlscompression: allows to turn off TLS compression (because of
the CRIME attack) if the OpenSSL version supports this.
Many thanks to Christian Mock for his patch.

innwatch creates a child process only for sleeping and then waits

Based on PR pkg/49129 by Leonardo Taccari.
Changes since 1.0.0
1. An issue with the wrap_width variable was fixed.
Changes since 0.9.9p1
1. src/charset.c: Avoid using CODESET if it is not defined.
2. doc/slrn.1: Remove blank line at top of file. (Ignatios Souvatzis)
3. src/Makefile.in: /bin/sh on solaris does not like empty lists in a
for loop causing make install to fail. Workaround added
(Petr Sumbera).
4. src/mime.c: rewrote much of the email address encoding/decoding so
that only comment fields in email addresses are encoded/decoded.
slrn is also smarted in encoding/decoding other headers (based on
patch from Robert Grimm).
5. autoconf/Makefile.in: Added dependencies such that if the
Makefile.in and config.in files have been modified, the user is
told to re-run the configure script.
6. Updated the copyright years to 2009.
7. src/mime.c: Omit the mime headers if the content is pure 7bit.
Also, if mime-headers already exist, do not add append additional
ones.
8. configure: Added the configuration option --with-non-gnu-iconv that
can be used to indicate that local version of iconv is not
compatible with GNU iconv (Piotr 'aniou' Meyer).
9. src/charset.c: Upon failure, slrn_test_convert_lines will return the line
that caused it to fail.
10. src/charset.c: If the --debug option is given, slrn will write the
strings that iconv failed to convert to the log file.
11. src/post.c: Skip long line checks between verbatim marks. (Robert
Grimm).
12. src/nntplib.h: Removed duplicate declarations of nntp_server_cmd
and nntp_server_vcmd. (Li Hong).
13. src/decode.c: If an output file already exists, create a new one
by appending an integer to the name.
14. src/slrn.c: work around a SLang_getkey bug that arises when the
underlying read system call is interrupted, and the interrupt hook
creates a different read descriptor.
15. src/misc.c: All error messages (including slang tracebacks) are
logged to the --debug output file.
16. src/art.c,etc: If an article has invalid headers, clear the error
but give the article an initial score of -1000. This number may
be customized using the "invalid_header_score" variable.
17. src/mime.c: In slrn_mime_process_article, decode headers even if
Content-Type is not understood and metamail is needed.
18. src/art.c: Avoid a buffer overflow when reconstructing huge
threads. Thanks to Robert Grimm for finding the problem.
19. src/version.c: %d format was used to print a long integer.
20. src/nntplib.c: slrn user "narke" discovered that his server will
disconnect if an attempt is made to post an empty body. slrn does
this after authenticating with the server to verify that posting
is possible. As a work-around, the response comment from the
AUTHINFO command is parsed.
21. src/sltcp.c: Add support for gnutls logging functions.
22. src/chkslang.c: Fixed a sscanf format issue involving long long
integers.
23. src/sltcp.c: Change 21 needed #ifdef SLTCP_HAS_GNUTLS_SUPPORT.
24. src/nntplib.c: A comparison in #20 should have used != instead of
==.
25. doc/slrn.rc: "utf8" changed to "utf-8" (Thomas Wiegner).
26. src/art_misc.c: Increased the search range for a pgp signature.
27. src/misc.c: The rline_update callback function was not handling
the case where no prompt (prompt==NULL) was associated with the
readline object. (M. G. Berberich)
28. src/vfile.c: Add explicit void* to char* cast for better C++
compliance.
29. doc/tm/: Updated the Makefile and rebuilt the docs
30. src/interp.c, art.c: Added support for an optional argument to the
replace_article function that dictates if the article should be
mime processed.
31. src/*: Updated copyright year and trimmed extra whitespace.
32. macros/mime.sl: Added initial support for multipart mime messages.
See macros/mime.sl for additional information.
33. macros/mime.sl;src/*.c: More support for processing multipart mime
messages, including the ability to save/view the various parts of
a message.
34. src/misc.c:generic_read_input: If point is negative, regard it as
an offset from the end of the string. Changes were also made to
the callers of this function accordingly.
35. macros/mailcap.sl: If an executable does not exist on the search
path, skip the mailcap entry.
36. src/interp.c: Added "replace_cooked_article", which is like
to "replace_article", but does not affect the raw lines. mime.sl
was updated to use this.
37. macros/mime.sl: Added an option to the browse menu that permits
the full raw article to be viewed.
38. macros/mime.sl: Added a more informative message when a mime
article is encountered.
39. src/mime.c: A couple of strncmp calls used the wrong length (Patched
by Thomas Wiegner).
40. macros/mime.sl: The boundary subkeyword was not being detected in a
case-insensitive way. Also the wrong filename was mentioned in
the usage comments. (Christian Ebert)
41. macros/mime.sl: Add an option to view all parts of a mime
multipart message.
42. Added a top-level win32 directory containing scripts for building
slrn using MinGW on a Windows system. See doc/INSTALL.w32 for
details.
43. src/*.c: Various win32-specific tweaks to avoid some warnings
generated by MinGW's gcc.
44. win32/msinstall.sl: Use $prefix/share/man instead of $prefix/man
for the directory where man pages are installed.
45. doc/THANKS updated.
46. updated autoconf/config.guess and autoconf/config.sub
47. doc/THANKS rearranged.
48. src/art_misc.c: New config variable: "wrap_width", which sets the
width that will trigger wrapping.
49. doc/: Updated txt docs from slrn doc project's svn repos.
50. Version 1.0 released [Dec 21, 2012].
Changes in 2.5.4
* An up-to-date control.ctl file is provided with this release. You
should manually update your control.ctl file with the new information
recorded about Usenet hierarchies.
* A test has been improved in innwatch.ctl so that innwatch no longer
throttles innd when no overview directory exists. You should manually
update your innwatch.ctl file to get this improvement.
* Fixed a long-standing limitation on how controlchan and pgpverify were
checking the signer of control messages. They now properly handle the
case of several UIDs being defined on a single PGP key, as well as the
presence of spaces into UIDs. In previous versions of INN, a few
valid control messages got ignored because of that limitation
(fido.ger.* and grisbi.* were for instance impacted).
* As the name of the radius.conf configuration file shipped with INN for
the nnrpd authenticator against a RADIUS server conflicts with the
libradius package, this file is renamed to inn-radius.conf (innupgrade
takes care of the rename during the update).
* The attributes hash is now accessible to nnrpd Perl posting filter.
As a result, filter_nnrpd.pl can make use of it. Only authentication
and access Perl hooks could previously use the attributes hash.
Thanks to Steve Crook for this addition.
* INN now properly builds fine with flex 2.5.36 (this version introduced
a change of type for a variable used by INN).
* When using funnel feeds, innfeed log files were open forever, which
resulted in empty log files, once rotated by scanlogs. innfeed now
reopens its log files upon receiving a HUP signal; this signal is in
particular sent by scanlogs during log rotation. Thanks to Florian
Schlichting for the patch.
* Exploder and process channels are now reopened when "ctlinnd
flushlogs" is used. Otherwise, they could hold open an already
deleted errlog file. The issue affected in particular controlchan or
ninpaths, running as such channels.
* Fixed a buffer overflow when using imapfeed with more than a million
commands during the same IMAP session. Thanks to David Binderman for
the bug report.
* Fixed a segfault occurring in innd on systems where time_t is a 64-bit
integer. Thanks to S.P. Zeidler for the patch.
* Fixed a segfault occurring in nnrpd when a res block was used in
readers.conf without the program: key.
* Fixed an issue where users were denied posting because of an
overlapping buffer copy in a check nnrpd was doing. Thanks to Florian
Schlichting for the patch.
* Fixed a regression that occurred in INN 2.5.3 regarding the path used
by default by pullnews for its configuration file. Instead of looking
in the running user's home directory, it was looking in the *pathnews*
directory set in inn.conf. Thanks to Tony Evans for the bug report.
* When neither wget nor ncftpget nor ncftp was found at configure time,
the path to the simpleftp substitution program shipped with INN was
not properly set in innshellvars, innshellvars.pl, and the
"INN::Config" Perl module. Thanks to Christian Garbs for the bug
report.
* ckpasswd no longer tries to use the ndbm compatibility layer provided
by Berkeley DB if Berkeley DB has been built without ndbm support.
Also add support for gdbm libraries in ckpasswd.
* Fixed a Perl warning in inncheck; using "defined(@array)" has been
deprecated since Perl 5.16.
* Fixed the occurrence of an unexpected "cant select" error generated by
innd. Thanks to Paul Tomblin for having caught that long-standing
issue.
* When building INN with Berkeley DB support, no longer add -L/usr/lib
to the linker include flags; unconditionally adding it may break the
build on systems using lib32 and lib64 directories.
* On a fresh INN install, motd.innd and motd.nnrpd are no longer
installed by default. Instead, samples for these files are provided
in *pathetc*, named differently so that their default contents are not
displayed to news clients before they get customised.
* Other minor bug fixes and documentation improvements (like the
addition in the readers.conf man page of the log: and program:
parameters in res blocks, and the include directive).
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.

(thanks)
Changes from 2.5.2 to 2.5.3:
* When HDR/XHDR/XPAT were used on a new article coming into a newsgroup,
requesting a header not present in the overview database, the first
subsequent OVER/XOVER command did not show that article. A remap of
the overview data file was missing in nnrpd. Thanks to Sam
Varshavchik for the bug report.
* When a header field appeared more than once in an article, it was
missing from the overview data. OVER/XOVER, as well as HDR/XHDR/XPAT
using the overview, were therefore returning an empty field. The
content of the first occurrence is now returned, in accordance with
RFC 3977.
Perl and Python filters for innd now also properly initialize their
header variables with the first occurrence of header fields. (It is
still the last occurrence for the Perl filter for nnrpd.)
* Fixed a possible plaintext command injection during the negotiation of
a TLS layer. The vulnerability detailed in CVE-2011-0411 affects the
STARTTLS and AUTHINFO SASL commands. nnrpd now resets its read buffer
upon a successful negotiation of a TLS layer. It prevents malicious
commands, sent unencrypted, from being executed in the new encrypted
state of the session.
* Fixed a regression that occurred in INN 2.5.0 when leading whitespace
characters have been made significant in header field bodies. It
could lead INN to drop articles and throttle itself when running as a
slave because Xref: header fields generated by other news servers, or
even INN 2.4.6, could contain (valid) leading whitespace. Thanks to
Matija Nalis for having caught this bug.
* Fixed an invalid 431 response to CHECK commands when innd is paused:
the message-ID of the article to defer was missing. Also fixed
another issue in the messages innd replied; when an error occurred
during a write on a channel, a trailing extra junk byte was added to
the reply. Thanks to River Tarnell for these bug reports.
* It is now possible to properly generate daily statistics with
sendinpaths thanks to the new -k and -r flags that permit to control
the interval of days for processing dump files. The new -c flag
permits to send a copy of the generated e-mail to the newsmaster.
Also fixed an issue with statistics that could be missing or
duplicated for a couple of days when monthly sent.
The documentation has been updated and mentions a preferred daily run
of sendinpaths. This script is a complete rewrite in Perl, and is
based on Mohan Kokal's initial work.
* cnfsheadconf now properly recognizes continuation lines in
cycbuff.conf, that is to say lines ending with a backslash ("\").
Thanks to John F. Morse for the bug report.
* The order of CNFS buffers in a metacycbuff is now properly read and
written by cnfsheadconf. There previously was a confusion between
hexadecimal and decimal values. Thanks again to John F. Morse.
* When the -l flag is given to cnfsstat, the cycbuff.conf and
storage.conf files are now reloaded if they have been modified since
the previous output of cnfsstat.
* A single header field line is limited to 998 bytes, per RFC 5536.
innd was previously accepting, and also generating Xref: header field
lines, up to 1022 bytes. Now, nnrpd (acting as an injecting agent)
rejects articles which contain header field lines whose length exceeds
998 bytes. And innd (acting as a relaying or serving agent) no longer
checks that.
* nnrpd advertises the COUNTS, DISTRIBUTIONS, MODERATORS, MOTD and
SUBSCRIPTIONS variants of the LIST command in response to
CAPABILITIES. These commands already existed in nnrpd but RFC 6048
had not yet been published.
* Add support for LIST MOTD in innd. Consequently, the motd.news
configuration file which was previously used only by nnrpd is renamed
to motd.nnrpd (innupgrade takes care of the rename). innd uses the
new motd.innd file in *pathetc* for its message of the day.
* Fixed an issue at configure time that made INN wrongly assume that
OpenBSD (4.6) didn't support Unix-domain sockets. Thanks to Wim Lewis
for the patch.
* Fixed an issue on systems which do not have a working flock(2)
function (Solaris, for instance). mailpost and pullnews are reported
not to be usable on such systems. Many thanks to Dennis Davis for the
bug report.
A wrapper around shlock is now called in Perl scripts. The
INN::Utils::Shlock module has been added for that use.
* Fixed an issue in the Python access hook for nnrpd: it has not been
working since Python 2.5 on 64-bit platforms, owing to a change to
Python's C API, using a new Py_ssize_t type definition instead of int.
Thanks to Raphael Barrois for the patch.
* Improve the stability of the Perl filters for innd and nnrpd: properly
save and restore the stack pointer when needed.
* The Injection-Date: header, when present, is now used by innd and
makehistory to determine the posting date of an article. Otherwise,
the Date: header is used.
* controlchan now imposes a date cutoff on processing control articles.
The *artcutoff* parameter set in inn.conf is used. Otherwise, without
that cutoff, old control articles could be maliciously reinjected into
Usenet, and replayed. (An unsigned Injection-Date: header field could
be added to an article that only had a Date: header field.) A new -c
flag has been added to controlchan to disable the cutoff check, if
needed (usually when manually invoking the program).
* nnrpd no longer adds or updates the Path: header field when an article
is forwarded to a moderator. It could otherwise lead to rejects at
injection time when the article was approved by the moderator.
* The X-Trace: header field was not properly generated when an article
was locally posted. The field mentioning the IP address was skipped,
resulting in a wrong syntax for this header. The local "127.0.0.1" IP
address is now used. Besides, "localhost" is now mentioned instead of
an obscure "stdin" in injection header fields.
* Fixed a bug in the frequency innfeed logs its status: too many
useless lines were written to news.notice. Thanks to Florian
Schlichting for the fix.
* When unset in innfeed.conf, the *dynamic-method* parameter now
properly defaults to 3 (instead of 0) and *use-mmap* to false (instead
of true). These two values were already the recommended ones in the
documentation and the sample file. Note that *use-mmap* is only used
when innfeed is given file names to send instead of storage API
tokens, which is a fairly rare use case.
* innfeed no longer generates an error message (logged in news.err) when
a parameter is not defined in innfeed.conf. All the parameters have a
default value, so there is no need to warn the user if they are not
present in innfeed.conf. Thanks to Dieter Stussy for having reported
this problem.
* Implement an upper limit to the number of file descriptors innd can
handle. At most (FD_SETSIZE-1) file descriptors can be used. This
upper limit now overrides any superior number set with *rlimitnofile*
in inn.conf. Thanks to Steve Crook for the bug report.
* A default timeout on outgoing sockets (using NNTPconnect) has been
added by Florian Schlichting. For a long time, there have been
occasional problems with actsync (and probably other programs) that
would hang until manually killed or restarted.
* The flag -S has been added to innd by Florian Schlichting. When used,
innd reports the errors found in incoming.conf and exits.
* pullnews no longer stops processing newsgroups when an error occur
during its run (for instance when a newsgroup mentioned in the
configuration file is removed from an upstream server). Besides, it
can now use authentication when posting to the downstream server.
A few other minor bugs have been fixed as for the way pullnews counts
the articles.
* Fixed the way innreport handles leap years. It now properly generates
HTML reports; dates were assumed to be relative to the current year,
which may break their computation during for instance the whole 2012
leap year. Please note that no HTML reports have been lost, and that
they will appear when INN is updated to this new version.
* A new parameter has been added to inn.conf to determine whether the
status file that innd can write out (depending on the value of the
*status* parameter) is plain text or wrapped in HTML. It previously
only was a compile-time option, set to true by default. Florian
Schlichting added the *htmlstatus* parameter to provide a configurable
behaviour.
* It is now possible to run a script at the end of the execution of
innshellvars scripts. If a file named innshellvars.local,
innshellvars.pl.local or innshellvars.tcl.local is present and
executable in *pathetc*, then it will be executed by the corresponding
innshellvars script (respectively shell, INN::Config Perl module, and
Tcl). A typical use is to add or override variables.
* Add support for wire-formatted articles in scanspool.
* A lot of work on cleaning old perl4-style code has been done by
Florian Schlichting.
* inncheck now generates a proper non-zero exit value when errors are
found, and allows quiet mode with the -q flag. Florian Schlichting
has greatly improved this script in many regards, especially with a
config-syntax parser for incoming.conf, innfeed.conf, readers.conf and
storage.conf.
* inncheck now properly finds the boundaries of substituted variables in
newsfeeds thanks to Alexander Bartolich.
* docheckgroups no longer uses awk. On a few systems, the script was
failing because of the presence of an old version of awk that has a
limit in the size of the input it can handle. Processing large
newsgroups files was consequently impossible. docheckgroups now uses
Perl instead of awk, which solves the issue reported by John F. Morse.
* Other minor bug fixes and documentation improvements. In particular,
the *debug-shrinking*, *fast-exit* and *initial-sleep* keys in
innfeed.conf are now documented. The function "filter_end()", called
when Perl filtering is turned off, is also documented for the innd and
nnrpd Perl filters.
There have been several packages with patches that directly change an
iconv function without the use of a __NetBSD__ macro. This is a NetBSD-
specific modification and changing iconv to match the NetBSD prototype
breaks the package on other platforms.
0.138 "Der Geraet"
* Hotkey for showing/hiding signatures in the article body. (Heinrich Müller,
#350496)
* Keep position on selected item on re-order. (Heinrich Müller, #443702)
* Remember last read post. (Heinrich Müller, #448416)

* Updated translations: Spanish (Daniel Mustieles), French (Bruno Brouard),
Czech (Petr Kovar), Slovenian (Martin Srebotnjak, Andrej Žnidaršič, Matej
Urbančič).
0.137 "The Mattel and Mars Bar Quick Energy Chocobot Hour"
* Bugfix release for errors regarding segfaults etc. with thread handling.
* Colorize group names. (Heinrich Müller)
* Fix three-horizontal-pane layout between sessions. (Heinrich Müller)
* Stop tasks when there is no space left on device. (Heinrich Müller)
* Honour default attachments folder setting if group folder is not set. (Heinrich Müller)
* libXp was used by Xaw8, but it had been obsolated, and in pkgsrc,
x11/libXaw/buildlink3.mk had been switched to pick up Xaw7 by default.
* With x11/xorg-cf-files, libXp was offered with XawClientLibs,
but updated to 1.0.4, it was removed.
* And pkgsrc had been switched to use always xorg-cf-files and imake from pkgsrc,
so all platforms should not require libXp from libXaw with Imake.
Bump PKGREVISION.
This release introduces a plethora of bugfixes and improvements, everybody
using older versions of Pan is encouraged to upgrade. This version supports
binary uploading, TLS (SSL) connections, PGP handling and other nice
features.
Remove devel/py-ctypes (only needed by and supporting python24).
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED and PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE
lines that just mirror defaults now.
Miscellaneous cleanup while editing all these files.
This is only required for gcc 4.4 (I think) and up where otherwise cpp
doesn't preserve whitespace, but it should be harmless for all gcc
versions ranging back to the prehistorical.
Fixes problems caused by running cpp on makefiles.
(while here, clean up and fix dependencies)
== LottaNZB 0.4.1 - January 27, 2009 ==
* For those who initially used the Ubuntu package of LottaNZB 0.3, this
release fixes a severe problem with the automatic extraction of downloaded
archives. LottaNZB now always uses 'unrar' instead of 'unrar-free' because
unfortunately, the free alternative isn't capable of extracting a majority
of downloads. We recommend you to reenable the automatic extraction in the
preferences window.
* Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian Bokmal and Spanish translation
updated.
* Turkish translation added.
* Bug fixed that prevented LottaNZB from working properly on machines with
Turkish locale. (LP: #318328)
* Remove unwanted leading and trailing whitespaces from category and
download directory names for downloads that were added to the download
queue using an older version of LottaNZB (thanks to Mikal Krogstad for
reporting this).
* A bunch of Debian/Ubuntu package improvements, which were necessary to
make LottaNZB ready for the Debian and Ubuntu package repositories:
E. g. a new man page and an application menu entry on Debian.
* LICENSE=modified-bsd.
* no need to buildlink with obsolated py-xml, add py-expat to DEPENDS instead.
* distutils pkg, so switch to use python/distutils.mk.
