[leafnode-list] RELEASE CANDIDATE: leafnode-1.9.33.devel2



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

Hi,

after some more bugfixing, leafnode-1.9.33 is ready to be released. To
get some more testing, I have made leafnode-1.9.33.devel2 available at
http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/ -- please test thoroughly
(particularly fetching and delaybody mode as well as pseudo articles
appearing when they need to). leafnode-1.9.33.devel2 is supposed to have
release quality and should become 1.9.33 on Monday or Tuesday.

Here's the NEWS file excerpt:

================================================================================
* 1.9.33, 2003-01-XX

### BUGFIXES
o Ralf Wildenhues fixed two subtle bugs in signal handling again, making sure
  we don't warp backwards in the program flow when ^C is pressed twice.
o Fix local article number extraction again, along the lines suggested by
  Fumiaki Miura. This bug marked the wrong article for download if a header
  of the structure "Xref: my.ser.ver abcabc:20 abc:10" was in the article.
o Fix client hang when an article had suffered corruption and its Message-ID
  could not be retrieved. Also consider the article broken and unlink it.
o Pseudo article display was fixed for newsgroups that were once there but
  that have expired without their article pointers reset in the groupinfo file.
o Switching delaybody off no longer makes bodies of article headers retrieved
  before the switch inaccessible. (affects leafnode, fetchnews)

### CHANGES: documentation
o Options added since 1.9.20 now appear with the leafnode version when the
  option was introduced in the manual pages.

### CHANGES: fetchnews
o Leafnode will now use the "ARTICLE" command to download articles if no
  filterfile is defined or if the new "article_despite_filter" option is set
  and "delaybody" is off. This speeds up article download, particularly on
  high-latency links such as interleaved DSL or satellite links.
o There is a new global option, "article_despite_filter", defaults to 0 for
  compatibility.
o There is a new per-server option, "noread", which defaults to 0 and is
  therefore compatible with previous releases of leafnode.
  If set, the server is not queried for active files or articles (but
  skipped), but posting to this server is still tried. Useful to  complement
  "nopost".  Courtesy of Dmitry Samersoff <dsamersoff@xxxxxxxxx>.
o Fetchnews compares the local clock to that of the upstream server it's
  talking to if the upstream supports the "DATE" command, and warns if both
  clocks are more than 10 minutes apart (but the program will continue for
  compatibility.)

### CHANGES: leafnode
o The DATE command is now supported.
