Changes: ### SECURITY BUGFIXES - Fetchnews did not detect timeouts while it was downloading an article header, which malicious upstream servers could exploit to mount a denial of service attack against the fetchnews client. See leafnode-SA-2005-02.txt. CVE Name: CAN-2005-1911 ### BUGFIXES - Bugfix sed expression in makesubst script. (Reported by Jeff Zacharias.) ### CHANGES - texpire now tags the message.id expired count with "message.id" rather than "total:" to avoid misleading the user who assumes that "total:" would have to be the sum of the group counts. See also the FAQ change below. SourceForge bug #1215453. - When debugmode and verbose mode are set, leafnode programs now print a warning to stdout that the user should check syslog.conf and the syslog output rather than the screen print for debugging and sleeps for three seconds. ### DOCUMENTATION - Add FAQ entry to explain discrepancies between texpire group counts and message.id expired articles counts. - Add FAQ entry to explain influence of Gnus' gnus-read-active-file setting on lost subscriptions, and extend stop fetchnews from unsubscribing FAQ. Debian bug #307685. - Drop FAQ entry on license issues as some parts of leafnode are in fact GPLd. - Drop FAQ entry on why old articles aren't posted, obsolete since 1.9.33. - INSTALL and INSTALL_de have been polished. - Add a hint that syslog.conf must be edited to config.example. - leafnode(8) mentions that LIST ACTIVE keeps an existing subscription fresh.
