Changelog
=========

0.17       Bugfix: Configuration test result for inttypes.h presence is used,
            reintroduce the test removed for 0.16
           Bugfix: BSD version of ntohl() for old systems was broken
           Bugfix: ISO-2022-JP decoder: Mask for unassigned codepoints fixed
           Bugfix: SHA2 support in OpenSSL 1.0.0 must be explicitly enabled
           Display article from "news" type URI in separate window (if it's not
            found in current group)
           Clickable References added (articles displayed in separate window)
           Search for Message-ID added to the Tools menu (Keyboard shortcut
            is Ctrl-s)
           Previous read article (in current group) menu entry added
           Keyboard shortcut for "Quit" changed from Ctrl-x to Ctrl-q (Proposed
            by Marcel Logen)
           Keyboard shortcut for "View source" changed from Ctrl-v to Ctrl-e
            (Proposed by Marcel Logen)
           Menu entry "Article->Mark as unread" (Ctrl-u) changed to toggle
            between read and unread state (Proposed by Marcel Logen)
           Command line option "-4" added (force usage of IPv4 network protocol)
           Flowed format: The 'flowed_insert_crlf' entry in configfile adds an
            empty line separator after every paragraph that ends with an empty
            line. Defaults to 0 (former behaviour)
           Flowed format: The behaviour of 'flowed_insert_crlf' can be requested
            by the sender of an article with "InsLine=yes" in the Content-Type
            headerfield.
           TLS module can now use OpenSSL 3 API (required for FFDHE group
            negotiation with TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 protocols)
           TLS module can now use LibreSSL 3 (formerly major version 2 was used
            to identify LibreSSL and distinguish it from OpenSSL)
           TLS modules compile time option 'CFG_USE_TLS_OWNCERTS' replaced by
            the new 'tls_owncerts' entry in configfile
           TLS modules experimental compile time option 'CFG_USE_TLS_CRLS'
            replaced by normal option 'CFG_TLS_CRLS_DISABLE'. Default is to use
            no CRLs (former behaviour) because this option increases the system
            requirements (to POSIX.1-2001 or XSI extension)
           TLS module now supports new 'crl_check' entry in configfile (ignored
            if CFG_TLS_CRLS_DISABLE is nonzero)
           TLS module now prints real LibreSSL version instead of generic 2.0.0
           TLS module no longer supports options 'CFG_USE_TLS_DHPARAM_CHECK' and
            'CFG_USE_TLS_SETSIGALG'. They were obsoleted by the OpenSSL 1.1 API
           Unicode database updated to version 12.1.0
           GUI module no longer supports experimental FLTK 1.3 option
            'USE_X11_GLYPH_SUBSTITUTION'. It was obsoleted by FLTK 1.4
           Modified LaTeX documentation to work with recent doxygen

Changelog:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V0.16      Bugfix: Supersede now preserves Followup-To header field
           Bugfix: The code that generates the attribute "reply to own article"
            now checks the Message-IDs too (to avoid errors if the parent
            article is missing in the hierarchy)
           Bugfix: Header parser and MIME parser fixed to correctly handle
            MIME entity delimiters (for boundary strings that contain spaces)
           Bugfix: Removed Unicode range U+E0020 ... U+E007E from rejected
            control characters (deprecated since Unicode 5.1, reintroduced for
            different purpose since Unicode 9.0) (Reported by Marcel Logen)
           TLS: Protocol version TLSv1.3 according to RFC8446 is now supported
            (requires at least OpenSSL 1.1.1)
           CORE module now supports multiple article hierarchies
           Unicode database updated to version 11.0.0
           IBM852 to UTF-8 converter added
           If the OS doesn't report IPv6 as available, usage can now be forced
            with the option 'CFG_FORCE_IP6'
           Support for reproducible builds added (option 'CFG_REPRODUCIBLE')
           Some checks for system header files removed to speed up configuration
            (Build fails in any case if they are missing)
           Documentation updated

3814150fbd news/flnews: import flnews-0.15
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)
