USE_GCC2 or USE_GCC3 where appropriate.
the functionality of the old gcc.buildlink2.mk has been rolled into
compiler.mk now, which is automatically used.
more changes to come later...
==============================================================================
* 1.9.43, 2003-09-04
### INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE
- In the traditional spool, newsgroups with all-numeric components show up
with a - (minus, hyphen) prefixed to the number, the newsgroup example.1234
will be stored as /var/spool/news/example/-1234.
It is believed this change does not cause troubles because news systems that
offered the traditional spool have been incapable of providing news access,
and because the count of news groups with such names is way below 0.1% on
the news servers I have access to. The gain in functionality justifies the
incompatibility.
NOTE: this only affects newsreaders that directly access the spool.
NNTP-based newsreaders will see no difference.
### BUGFIXES
- Fix leafnode.8 manual pages (EN and DE languages) to explain 0 and negative
values for expire/groupexpire.
- Avoid premature abort (that causes .overview and groupinfo files to become
stale) when the stdout becomes disconnected. Reported by Sytse van Slooten.
- Make sure that texpire fixes the groupinfo lines of groups in "archive mode"
(groupexpire -1). Reported by Sytse van Slooten.
- Repair groupexpire 0 (= use global default, rather than expire immediately).
Broken since 1.9.23.
- Make sure that fetchnews complains when a timeout happens while reading
newsgroups lists ("active file") or newsgroup descriptions. Found after a
related report from Tim Daneliuk.
- Use different fix for newsgroup names with all-numeric components that does
not require two stat() calls in XOVER handling. Tracked down and reported by
Rein Klazes.
- Remove bogus error messages "article * is below/above the *-water mark" that
occur when reading a group that fetchnews is fetching into. Reported by Rein
Klazes.
- Make sure XOVER related error messages don't show up in the NNTP client.
### CHANGES
- fetchnews puts stdout into line buffered, or -- failing that -- unbuffered
mode (Patch by Mark Brown, Debian maintainer).
- leafnode processes warn (syslog and stderr) when a groupexpire is set to 0
(which means "use the default", which some users may not be aware of).
### DOCUMENTATION
- Added FAQ item on running leafnode as nntps server.
- Mention SuSEconfig difficulties with /etc/hosts in README-FQDN*
- Clarify item #13 in INSTALL.
==============================================================================
* 1.9.42, 2003-06-27
### SECURITY RELEVANT BUGFIXES
- Fix hang when trying to download an article that lacked mandatory headers.
(Very old bug, recently found by Joshua Crawford)
NOTE: this assertion that the bug is security relevant (denial of service)
has been made after 1.9.42 release.
### BUGFIXES
- Check lastreply() against NULL, in an effort to fix obscure sporadic and
non-reproducable crashes on OpenBSD sparc64. (Reported by Bruno Rohee)
- Fix bogus "Cannot open .../interesting.group/group.name for reading" when a
group subscription has expired. (Reported by Andreas Muck)
### CHANGES
- The ChangeLog file has been split, older parts (leafnode 1.9.31.rel and
before) have moved to the "new" ChangeLog.old file.
==============================================================================
* 1.9.41, 2003-05-22
### BUGFIXES
- Fix the "leafnode keeps fetching a group I've unsubscribed from long ago"
bug that haunted leafnode since 1.9.18 at the latest and that was more
prominent with the delaybody migration fixes of 1.9.33. Reported by Andreas
Muck and Gerry Doris.
- "make clean" no longer erases t.pcre_extract
### CHANGES
- Add an EXPERIMENTAL feature, delaybody_in_situ. This may work around
problems with particular newsreaders in delaybody mode. Do not rely on this
feature for now, and do send feedback if you use it, regardless of whether
it works or not. Defaults to off (compatible with previous versions). If you
don't know what it is about, leave it off.
- Some messages in fetchnews have been reworded to make them clearer and more
helpful.
### PORTABIILTY
- Find tcpd on OpenBSD at build time. Patch by Bruno Rohee.
==============================================================================
* 1.9.40, 2003-05-08
### BUGFIX
- Leafnode no longer aborts when using the replacement snprintf function
(FreeBSD) and is about to display a pseudo article.
New Features include:
Added support for GNet2, which adds IPv6 support to Pan.
Added Baltic Windows-1257 charset support.
Display the total score for a thread when the thread is collapsed.
Added menu buttons and shortcuts for `go to next new article' and
`go to next new thread'
Also lots of bug fixes and usability improvements.
For the complete list see http://pan.rebelbase.org/ or read the ChangeLog.
Test76 is a bug-fix release that mainly fixes a potential crash
bug, but also has several other minor changes.
Test 75 provides some simple bug fixes and minor improvements that
have been simmering for quite some time.
now and not NetBSD-*-arm32. Changes include one or more of:
- Change MACHINE_ARCH == arm32 to also match arm
- Where ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM includes NetBSD-*-arm32, add NetBSD-*-arm
- Where BROKEN or worked around for arm gcc bugs, set USE_GCC3
The last may shake out a few more broken packages the next bulk build.
- Clients using POST are no longer permitted to provide an Injector-Info
header.
- Fixed a bug causing posts with Followup-To set to a moderated group to
be rejected if the posting user didn't have permission to approve
postings.
- Fixed bugs in inncheck with setuid rnews or setgid inews, in
innconfval with inn.conf parameters containing shell metacharacters
but no spaces, and in parsedate.y with some versions of yacc. Fixed a
variety of size-related printf format warnings (e.g., %d vs. %ld)
thanks to the work of Winfried Szukalski.
While INN 2.3.5 is not the latest officially released version it is the
latest one for which an IPv6 patch is available.
Supports slrn and XNews-style scorefiles.
Added sixth layout mode in the Preferences|Layout dialog.
Added a default character set to the Posting Profiles.
Faster article filters.
Lots of bugfixes.
o Bugfixes were published on the slrn website since the release
of 0.9.7.4 last year. Even though no new version was released,
they are quite needed for normal operation (specifically, I was
hit by a locale bug that makes slrn segfault when scoring).
o ${PKGLOCALEDIR} needs to be enforced both in package's Makefile
and PLIT, and in the source (po Makefile has a hard-coded path
that may not match the path used in other parts of the source
tree).
Changes:
both.c - sgetline() - changes to fix SSL bug with the select,
connect_to_nntphost() - add code to handle
host:port syntax. This fix also allows you to
specify a port number for the local host.
suck.c - to handle SIGINT in addition to SIGTERM,
build_command() fix in potential buffer overflow
testhost.c - added -Q option, to allow user to specify
NNTP authentiation via env variables.
And other bug fixes.
- LIST ACTIVE no longer returns data when given a single group argument
if the client is not authorized to read that group.
- XHDR and XPAT weren't correctly parsing article headers, resulting in
searches for the header "newsgroup" matching the header "newsgroups".
- Made CNFS more robust against crashes by actually syncing the cycbuff
headers to disk as was originally intended. Fixed a memory leak in
the tradspool code.
- Two bugs in pgpverify when using GnuPG were fixed: it now correctly
checks for gpgv (rather than pgp) when told to use GnuPG and expects
the keyring to be pubring.gpg (not pubring.pgp).
- Substantial updates to the sample provided control.ctl file.
- Compilation fixes with Perl 5.8.0, BerkeleyDB 4.x, current versions of
Linux (including with large file support), and Tru64. inndf fixes for
ReiserFS.
- Various bugs in the header handling in nnrpd have been fixed,
including hangs when using virtual domains and improper processing of
folded headers under certain circumstances.
- Other minor bug fixes and documentation improvements.
While INN 2.3.4 is not the latest officially released version it is the
latest one for which an IPv6 patch is available.
This release adds a faster task manager, faster loading of large
groups, a few major bugfixes, about a dozen minor bugfixes, fifteen
updated translations, and many usability improvements.
Summary of changes since 1.9.31:
Bug and documentation fixes including:
* fetchnews_check_date.c: Portability: don't pass time_t to
syslog(...%ld...), sizeof time_t != sizeof long on 64bit FreeBSD,
reported by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.inka.de>.
* fetchnews_check_date.c: Check for overflow of time difference.
Paranoia mode, someone needs to hose his clock by at least 68 years
to run into this.
* miscutil.c, TODO: Change to spooldir at the end of initvars()
(after changing uid/gid) to avoid barfing when run from
misconfigured cron.
* pcre_extract.c: Fix abort when extracting string, introduced with
previous strlcpy -> xstrlcpy commit. Reported by Joshua Crawford
<mortarn@softhome.net> Add debug variable to conditional TEST part
to use this code standalone.
* fetchnews.c: Several bug fixes
Please see the ChangeLog file in the source distribution for more details.
Extract of changes:
-Q option to specify NNTP authentication via environment variables
Changes to allow it to use SSL.
-i option, to ignore the readonly opening response and try to post
anyway, since inn-2.3, when using authinfo, still sends 201 code
meaning readonly.
do_one_group() - added code for resetcounter
option. If remote end resets its article numbers
the normal suck response is to ignore the group
and reset the lastread counter to match the current
high counter. This option tells suck to reset
its lastread counter to the low counter, effectively
causing suck to get all articles for the group, and
use the historydb to check for dupes.
Added low_read option. This option is used in concert
with the maxread option of the sucknewsrc. Normally
when there is a maxread in the sucknewsrc, suck will
download the newest articles. This option tells suck
to download instead the oldest articles.
do_articles() - added code for show_group option.
This option will add the name of the current group
to the BPS display as you download the articles.
do_nodownload() - added, this routine allows you
to specifiy Message-IDs to never download. See the
SUCKNODOWNLOAD section in the man page.
Bugfixes and code cleanups.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
