Hi,

I've uploaded the 3rd release candidate to leafnode 1.9.44,
leafnode 1.9.44.rc3, as source tarball and Linux glibc 2.2
i486 RPM, to be downloaded at http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/

Please test this version - what you don't report now, will still be
broken in 1.9.44.rel. I plan to release this code with just a new
version number in a couple of days, presumably this week-end.

I am still 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. Packaging has changed a
bit since rc #2, the RPM is supposed to leave /etc/xinetd.d/leafnode and
/etc/cron.daily/leafnode alone.

For other architectures or systems with older glibc, running rpm -tb
leafnode-1.9.44.rc3.tar.bz2 should compile a binary leafnode RPM.
(This doesn't work with the .tar.gz!)

MD5 hash: (check with md5sum or md5)

Here's the NEWS since 1.9.43, for the full round-up, a ChangeLog is
available at the forementioned URL -- except with changes since -rc2 is
below the NEWS.

Have fun,
Matthias
