[Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've just uploaded a new leafnode-2 snapshot. This is the alpha version
that Ralf mentioned some days ago on the topic of fetchnews
improvements.

Important news in no particular order:

- IMPORTANT: leafnode now automatically appends "leafnode" to your
  sysconfdir. For backwards compatibility, ./configure will strip a
  trailing "/leafnode" or "/leafnode/" so you don't end up with your
  configuration in /etc/leafnode/leafnode/config.
- Rnews is back!
- timeout_active is back!
- delaybody is back!  (Ralf Wildenhues)
  delaybody mode can now be enabled for all or selected groups only,
  specified by wildcard patterns with the "groupdelaybody" option.
- no longer installs the "lsort" program. You can remove it from
  /usr/local/sbin/lsort
- The "dontpost" configuration option is replaced by "feedtype=none".
- There is a new "only_fetch_once" option, that reads a group only from
  the first server queried that carries this group. Suggested by Jörg
  Mensmann.
- Only change permissions/owner of leafnode directories when creating
  them. Requested by Kevin Bulgrien.
- fetchnews revamped (Ralf Wildenhues)
  It is now possible to query all or some newsgroups only, fetch several
  articles by Message-ID and fine-tune fetching of headers and bodies
  of delaybody groups as well as articles in regular groups.

Ralf, this version's CVS tag is "snapshot-20020715a".
