Existing SHA1 digests verified, all found to be the same on the
machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). Existing SHA1
digests retained for now as an audit trail.
3.0.1 Sat Apr 6 01:59:56 EST 2002 (ap.pog.gia.tu.ra)
* compat: update config.sub and config.guess to autoguess
Darwin / MacOSx
* compat: update ./configure to autoconf-2.53
3.0-b2 Fri Apr 5 01:32:28 EST 2002 (oneiromancy)
* new: README.pam
* change: use $libexec/nntpcache.debug for debug symbols
* new: permit ':' and '@' in username and password
definitions. some At-Home & MS passport
controlled (ugh) were of this format
* compat: be more flexible in closing and re-assigning
file-descriptors. fixes some bogus openlog()/
closelog() implementations
* change: doc/proff.style NAZI's
* compat: eliminate pid_t warning in src/debug.c
* compat: change "stat" to "status" for
contrib/newshound/newshound.c. "stat" conflicted
with the stat.h definition under AIX-5.1
* change: don't try and debug the debug task if it
can no-longer read messages from other
tasks
* new: explicitly tell users to use 'nntpcached -n'
for INSTALL step 8
3.0-b1 Sat Mar 30 11:51:29 EST 2002 (Enantiomorphosis)
* new: idiot proof nntpcache.servers configuration
* new: Make the decision to use a new mmap backing
file on restart configuration via "refreshMmap"
* change: explicitly enable core dumps
* bugfix: fix bogus log message in src/xover.c
* new: prevent runaway debug analysis by checking
at most once every half hour
* change: use mode, as opposed to flock/lockf locking for
cached articles/headers. this technique is more
reliable over nfs and newserver/reader crashes
* new: robustify newsgroup structure locking
* compat: under MacOSX, cc reports as gcc, but gcc CPP is
not "gcc -E"
* compat: AIX needs -lbsd for flock()
* new: verbosely describe "server rebuild in progress" error
* change: don't warn on seeing (\r[^\n])+\r\n, as this
seems to be embedded in quite a few wild articles
* bugfix: fix a few (usually rare) xover bugs
* change: reorganise xover opening/locking/writing
functions
* compat: parse numbers representing time_t
so as not to depend on the size of time_t
(Tru64/OSF/alpha needed this)
* compat: remove extra ';' in src/http.c which caused
SUNSpro (Solaris CC) to choke
* new: improved xover expiry
* change: remove a warning in src/bregex.c. Note that the
other warnings (at least under gcc and SUNSpro
are bogus)
* compat: use strrchr instead of rindex in src/authinfo_pipe.c
* compat: EXPORT PAM functions only after pam types
have been defined
* compat: PAM compatability for Solaris and FreeBSD
(tested on Solaris-8.x and FreeBSD-4.x)
* compat: at least one newsreader used AUTHINFO with
no arguments simply to check that the command
was available. In this case return
"350 Continue with authorization sequence"
* compat: smarter scripts/genextern.sh
* compat: add/reorder includes for mmap/mmap_tests.c
* bugfix: don't use autoconf to generate mk/rules.mk,
as automake uses this file before configure
time.
* compat: add SPT_PADCHAR definition for Linux in
libproff/setproctiltle.c
* change: add comment about bogus gcc warning in
libproff/pattern.c
* change: update doc/proff.style
* change: move newshound config file to /etc/newshound/
* bugfix: various newshound bugfixes
* new: perl newshound contributed by jer@gweep.net
* bugfix: add missing /* */ pair in log.h (amazingly
gcc compiled the previous code without
complaint)
* compat: wrap all GNU C extensions in GNUC_EXT
macros, including extensions exported by
scripts/genextern.sh (EXPORT macros)
* compat: explicitly check for GNU make variations
at ./configure time and give copious help
if GNU make can not be located. Explicitly
tell the user to use the discovered GNU make.
* bugfix: CPP does not define build symbols which
are needed by scripts/genextern.sh as
opposed to cc -E. Always check for cc -E
at ./configure time
* new: NEWS file
* change: modify INSTALL so even the pentagon can
understand nntpcache builds with GNUMake
* change: modify INSTALL to reflect new mailinglist details
* bugfix: extensive three pass automake hackery to force
regeneration of .ext's at the correct time and in
the correct order
* bugfix: sometimes a HEAD followed by a BODY when neither
was previously cached resulted additional header
characters in the body. Triggered by Pine.
* compat: don't use creeping bsd featureisms (warn,<err.h>)
in libproff
