[leafnode-list] leafnode 2.0b8_ma9.1pre available



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Happy new year!

I just uploaded leafnode 2.0b8_ma9.1pre to
http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/beta/

It's a no-feature bugfix release to address most of the bug reports
since 2.0b8_ma8, to get another stable version out before making further
changes which could affect stability. I'm releasing this although I
haven't yet received confirmation by Tim Dodge if his problem is gone;
Tim, please ignore the patch I sent and test 9.1pre instead; if you
tested with my patch, please do still send your findings.

Thanks to Volker Apelt, Tim Dodge, Raymond Scholz, Oliver Titz, for
reporting and/or fixing bugs.

Sorry to Jörg Mensmann and Robert Marshall for not being able to help
now or for rejecting a patch for now. Jörg, I put your suggestion on my
TODO list. Robert, your issue will be reconsidered as more information
comes in.

Please do *not* send minor fixes to documentation or Makefile or build
procedure now, these will undergo substantial changes soon.

If you want to convert the documentation to some widespread SGML stuff
like DocBook, feel free to contact me.


Here's the ChangeLog excerpt:

2002-01-03  Matthias Andree  <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>

        === RELEASE 2.0b8_ma9.1pre ===
	* Makefile.in: Include README (text version) in distributions --
	note: requires lynx to build the tarball!
	* rnews.c: Apply Volker Apelt's patch to log initialization
	troubles to syslog.

	* nntpd.c: Apply Volker Apelt's patch to log initialization
	troubles to syslog.

	* fetchnews.c: Apply Volker Apelt's patch to log initialization
	troubles to syslog.

	* checkgroups.c: Apply Volker Apelt's patch to log initialization
	troubles to syslog.

	* leafnode.h: Change initvars "program" parameter prototype to
	const char * (was char *).

	* texpire.c: Apply Volker Apelt's patch to log initialization
	troubles to syslog.

	* applyfilter.c: Apply Volker Apelt's patch to log initialization
	troubles to syslog.

	* miscutil.c: Apply Volker Apelt's patch to log initialization
	troubles to syslog.

	* fetchnews.c: Accept =, x, j status characters in LIST replies.
	Move first/last initialization down a bit to fix bogus low/high
	article numbers in groupinfo that occurred after fetchnews
	-f. Long-standing bug. This should fix a couple of
	incompatibilities.

	* activutil.c: Transform status characters: x -> n, j -> y, = -> y
	* texpire.c: Fix commentary whitespace.
	* store.c: Fix double angle bracket reject filter logging.
	* leafnode.h: Change return type of writeactive to int (was void).
	* fetchnews.c: When reading newsgroups from an upstream server,
	make finding and parsing the status character more robust. Should
	fix the NUL bytes in groupinfo's status column that Tim Dodge
	reported.

	* artutil.c: When superseding or canceling an article, an ENOENT
	is only logged with NOTICE priority (the article may have been
	filtered or expired already).

	* activutil.c: Make writeactive() more robust (no crash without
	active).  If groupinfo is truncated, log problematic lines and
	skip over them.

2002-01-02  Matthias Andree  <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>

	* filterutil.c: Respect DEBUG_FILTER. Found by Oliver Titz, fixed by
	Raymond Scholz.

2001-12-29  Matthias Andree  <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>

	* Makefile.in: Use $(...) Makefile macros rather than
	config.status @...@ expansions for config.c for everything except
	PACKAGE_VERSION. Found by Ben Holness and Jörg Dietrich.
