foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
* src/crypt.cc: corrected stupid salt calculation
* src/NewsCache.cc (ns_newgroups): fixed a y2k bug
(nnrpd): disabled stream buffering, some clients had problems with
this
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.
Implement percent ('%') filename expansion in the "pipe" widget of the
save/pipe dialog. Especially useful for setting Knews*shellfield.buffer
in ${XENVIRONMENT}.
Count articles for save/pipe command as "1 of N", "2 of N", and so on.
slrn looks for libslang in /usr/pkg by default, and doesn't know about
looking in other locations. Use $PREFIX instead of /usr/pkg now.
Found while compiling this on Solaris (w/o Zoularis, of course :)
- innxmit can again handle regular filenames as input as well as storage
API tokens (allowing it to be used to import an old traditional
spool).
- Several problems with tagged-hash history files have been fixed thanks
to the debugging efforts of Andrew Gierth and Sang-yong Suh.
- A very long-standing (since INN 1.0!) NNTP protocol bug in nnrpd was
fixed. The response to an ARTICLE command retrieving a message by
message ID should have the message ID as the third word of the
response, not the fourth. Fixing this is reported to *possibly* cause
problems with some Netscape browsers, but other news servers correctly
follow the protocol.
- Some serious performance problems with expiration of tradspool should
now be at least somewhat alleviated. tradspool and timehash now know
how to output file names for removal rather than tokens, and fastrm's
ability to remove regular files has been restored. This should bring
expiration times for tradspool back to within a factor of two of
pre-storage-API expiration times.
- An item that was actually changed in 2.3.0 but wasn't noted in NEWS
when it should have been: Users can no longer post articles
containing Approved: headers to moderated groups by default; they must
be specifically given that permission with the access: parameter in
readers.conf. See the man page for more details.
- Added a sample subscriptions file and documentation for it and
innmail.

maintainer: "Besides adding exciting new features, it also fixes a
lot of annoying and some (potentially) security relevant bugs, so I
recommend the upgrade."
"knews" was dumping core when trying to display a PNG image inline,
and now it doesn't.
Note: "Ctl-P" for UU encoded PNG's is a no-op (unrelated problem).
You'll need to have a message with a properly mime-encoded PNG image
in order to see do_png() go to work.
- Make IPv6 addresses (not names) work. You still need to specify the port
number explicitly in this case.
- Fix bug in connection loop which caused PR pkg/12329.
The version number is bumped to "1.0nb5".
using the newest PNG library won't work on system with an older one. To
prevent such problems with precompiled binary packages require at least
"png-1.0.9nb1" in all dependences.
- No busy loops when connecting to the NNTP server.
- Handle multiple records return by getaddrinfo(3) at the proper location.
- Avoid unnecessary socket creations and deletions by always passing the
correct address family to open_socket().
