INN 2.3.0 represents a significant architectural change to INN, with a
completely new internal overview interface, three new overview mechanisms,
two new article storage mechanisms, and the elimination of quite a few old
interfaces and old code.
The NetBSD package furthermore includes IPv6 support and a new style
startup script with backwards compatibility.
Changes:
- INN no longer installs inews setgid news or rnews setuid root by
default. If you need the old behavior, --enable-uucp-rnews or
--enable-setgid-inews must be given to configure. See INSTALL
for more information.
- A security hole when verifycancels is turned on in inn.conf (not
the default) was fixed.
- Message IDs are now limited to 250 octets to prevent
interoperability problems with other servers.
- Various other security paranoia fixes have been made.
- Embedded Perl filters fixed to work with Perl 5.6.0.
- Lots of bug fixes.
- Various minor bug fixes and a y2k bug fix. The y2k bug is in version
version 2.2.1 only and will show up after Jan 1st when a news reader
issues a NEWNEWS command for a date prior to the year 2000.
- Various bug fixes. Most importantly, bug fixes to potential
security holes (buffer overflow type).
