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.
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.
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].
0. Bug fixes include:
* slrnpull's download statistics should work correctly in offline mode.
* slrn crashed on some operating systems when posting.
* slrn crashed when trying to decode base64 encoded articles without body.
* Don't destroy soft links / multiple hard links when writing newsrc file.
* Always apply scoring rules in the order given in the scorefile.
* When reading cross-posts, slrn sometimes marked additional articles in
the other group(s) as read (Joerg Lueders).
* slrnpull no longer posts backup copies (*~) of files you edited manually
in the out.going directory.
* slrnpull tries to write .headers files on interrupts.
* The "Has-Body" scoring field sometimes did not work correctly.
* When retrieving article children, headers without body were not marked.
* Ignore signature delimiters in verbatim text blocks.
* Do not choke on long header lines when replying by email.

* Email address parser is more RFC2822 compliant
1. In the config file (and the corresponding intrinsic functions), the
following names now denote special function keys: <PageUp> <PageDown>
<Up> <Down> <Right> <Left> <Delete> <BackSpace> <Insert> <Home> <End>
<Enter> <Return> <Tab> <Space> <Esc> and <F1> through <F12>
If using these names does not seem to work for you, please make sure your
terminfo settings are correct.
2. In true offline mode, slrnpull can now automatically retrieve bodies of
articles that get a high score value (--fetch-score option).
3. Added Swedish translation (Johan Svedberg)
4. Make hide_pgpsignature hide GnuPGs optional "NotDashEscaped" lines.

Changes since slrn 0.9.7.4:
-1. Changes when building on Un*x: [...]
0. Bug fixes include: [...]
1. Changes to the user interface: [...]
2. When used in combination with slrnpull, slrn now supports "true offline
reading". [...]
3. slrnpull no longer completely rewrites the overview files when expiring

7. Custom sorting now allows you to use different criteria for sorting
initial articles of threads and articles inside threads. [...]
9. When reading in spool mode with spool_check_up_on_nov set, slrn now finds
out the number of bytes of each article, even if it is not included in
the news overview file (based on a patch by Jurriaan W Kalkman).
10. Support Cancel-Locks using the canlock library (--with-canlock) that can
be obtained from <http://cssri.meowing.net/> [...]
11. Support GNU TLS via its new OpenSSL compatibility layer (--with-gnutls).
[...]
12. New command-line option "-w0" that waits on startup, but only if a
warning or error is displayed.
13. Updated cleanscore, see contrib/NEWS.cleanscore (Felix Schueller)
14. Verbatim text can be hidden using toggle_verbatim_text (default binding
'{') or hide_verbatim_text in the config file. (Arek Sochala)
15. The "BEGIN PGP SIGNED ARTICLE" line is displayed using the "pgpsignature"
color and stripped on followups. (Emmanuele Bassi)
16. If query_read_group_cutoff is set to -n, slrn will automatically

17. Support Turkish characters on Win32 - set charset to "ibm857" for this.
With help from A. Alper ATICI
18. Re-structured the manual and added a chapter about slang's
pre-processing facilities. (Matthias Friedrich)
19. The config variable cc_followup_string is obsolete [...]
20. New translations: [be, fi, tr]
21. Remove duplicates when browsing URLs (Ruediger Sonderfeld)
22. IPv6 support (requires getaddrinfo; patch by J.H.M. Dassen (Ray))
23. A new, updated and more comprehensive FAQ (doc/FAQ) - it replaces the
files FAQ, SCORE_FAQ and slrnpull/FAQ (written by Matthias Friedrich and
me, based on John E. Davis' original files).
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).
Bug fixes include:
* Removed code that unpacks "shell archives" as it causes a serious
security hole.
* Even when using read_active, slrn would enter all subscribed groups.
* force_authentication was ignored when re-connecting.
* In rare cases, the need to send authentication data was not recognized.
* Interpret "news:" URLs enclosed in angle brackets correctly.
* Scorefiles get "include"d only once (no more loops).
* Unsubscribed groups are no longer moved to the bottom of the newsrc file.
* Multiple '%s' in (non_)Xbrowser are handled correctly (fixes segfault).
Minor UI changes:
* Tagging ('*') an article marks it as unread.
* The new default of 'reject_long_lines' is 2.
* When confirm_actions is set, catching up a group requires confirmation.
* Complain if user specifies a nonexistant config file on the command line.
* Made new_subject_breaks_threads a bitmapped value (see manual for details)
On Unix, gettext is used to translate messages.
Currently, the following translations are available:
- da.po (Danish; Byrial Jensen)
- de.po (German; Jens Wahnes)
- it.po (Italian; Emmanuele Bassi)
- nl.po (Dutch; Jelmer Vernooij)
- pl.po (Polish; Jarek Baczynski / Arkadiusz Sochala)
- ru.po (Russian; Andy Shevchenko)
The new function "view_scores" (bound to 'v' in article mode) shows you
which scorefile entries matched the current article. Assigning names to
your entries (see score.txt for details) will make this even more useful.
The new intrinsic functions "register_hook" and "unregister_hook" allow
the definition of multiple functions for most hooks.
An autosave copy of the newsrc file is created whenever you leave a
group. This can be turned off with no_autosave.
Scoring on "Bytes:" (by integer value, not regexp) is possible. In
header_display_format, you can use '%b' to display the number of bytes.
This is available when reading overview data only (e.g. _not_ in slrnpull)!
In *_display_format and *_status_line, the additional modifier '*' can be
used to center justify text in a field of a given width.
slrn accepts 8bit characters in newsgroup names.
Updated cleanscore, see contrib/NEWS.cleanscore
The code that allows running slrnpull as an unpriviledged user can now
be turned on by passing --enable-setgid-code to configure. It no longer
makes outgoing postings group writeable.
The bottom line now has its own color object ("message").
New intrinsic functions get_fg_color and get_bg_color that return the
current color of an object.
In the readline keymap, the new functions "delbol" (^U) and "delbow"
(^W) will delete to the beginning of the line or the word, respectively.
In selection lists (e.g. used by color.sl), pressing a letter takes you to
the next (or previous, if shift was held down) entry that starts with it.
ew descriptors in header_status_line: %h, %l and %k now stand for the
number of high / low scoring / killed articles, respectively.
New intrinsic functions read_mini_variable (tab completes variable
names) and read_mini_integer. See macros/varset.sl for an example
(easy interactive setting of variables at runtime).
Besides a number of bugfixes, better support for non-Unix
systems and a bit of new documentation, it starts up faster
on some systems and has minor new features, like tab completion
or detection of ``news:'' URLs. It is also more RFC compliant
than ever.
It has a fully customizable group mode and status bars,
highlights URLs, makes use of some common NNTP extensions,
offers better documentation and has lots of minor improvements
and bugfixes over the previous version.
