Hi,

I've released leafnode 1.9.44.rc1 as source tarball and Linux glibc 2.2
i486 RPM, to be downloaded at http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/

I am soliciting comments on the binary RPM which is _supposed_ to work
on all recent Intel 32-bit x86 or AMD 32-bit based Linux distributions
that have glibc 2.2 or glibc 2.3.

For other architectures or systems with older glibc, running
rpm -tb leafnode-1.9.44.rc1.tar.bz2
should compile a binary leafnode RPM. (This doesn't work with the
tar.gz!)

Here's the NEWS since 1.9.43, for the full round-up, a ChangeLog is
available at the forementioned URL.

Have fun,
Matthias

### BUGFIXES
* A texpire SIGSEGV was fixed, it struck when expiring articles from groups
  that were no longer in interesting.groups. (Reported by Iain D. Broadfoot.)
* Interesting.groups expiry was bugfixed and streamlined, it now happens
  before contacting the first server. (Reported by Nikita V. Youshchenko).
* Debugmode is now documented in config.example.
* Debugmode has been cleaned up in fetchnews. It is now possible to log
  XOVER replies with debugmode=3.
* One meaningless system error that was included on "illegal article:" log
  lines was removed from the line. (Reported by Nikita V. Youshchenko.)

### CHANGES
* Fetchnews now accepts any 2XX reply to NEWGROUPS, to work around a problem
  with an MC-link news server. (Reported by Paolo Amoroso.)
* Texpire, when in verbose mode,  will now print "Expiring message.id..."
  before doing just that.
* The RPM installation was revised (the German manual pages are now in
  %_mandir/de/, cruft from doc_german was dropped, xinetd example is
  installed).
* Leafnode excludes glibc-2.3 special ctype.h stuff to let binary compiles
  work on glibc-2.2.

### DOCUMENTATION
* There is now a new documentation file, ADD-ONS, that currently lists leafwa
  and Nikita V. Youshchenko's "mlgroups" patch.
* A German manual page for leafnode-version(1) has been added.
