* 1.9.44, 2003-10-22
### BUGFIXES
o A texpire SIGSEGV was fixed, it struck when expiring articles from groups
that were no longer in interesting.groups. (Reported by Iain D. Broadfoot.)
o Interesting.groups expiry was bugfixed and streamlined, it now happens
before contacting the first server. (Reported by Nikita V. Youshchenko)
o Debugmode is now documented in config.example.
o Debugmode has been cleaned up in fetchnews. It is now possible to log
XOVER replies with debugmode=3.
o One meaningless system error that was included on "illegal article:" log
lines was removed from the line. (Reported by Nikita V. Youshchenko.)
o Fetchnews no longer moves articles into failed.posting if the upstream
server refuses the POST command (before seeing the article).
o The XOVER updater no longer aborts when encountering a group when there is
a sub-group with an all-numeric name. (This only happens in badly
administered newsgroup hierarchies.) Reported by Dâniel Fraga.
o The RPM is now more careful when handling /etc/xinetd.d/leafnode and
/etc/cron.daily.leafnode, both are marked %config(noreplace) now. Reported
by William Hooper.
### PORTABILITY
o __attribute__ is only used with __GNUC__ (gcc), to avoid compiler trouble.
### CHANGES
o Fetchnews now accepts any 2XX reply to NEWGROUPS, to work around a problem
with an MC-link news server. (Reported by Paolo Amoroso.)
o Texpire, when in verbose mode, will now print "Expiring message.id..."
before doing just that.
o The RPM installation was revised (the German manual pages are now in
%_mandir/de/, cruft from doc_german was dropped, xinetd example is
installed).
o Leafnode excludes glibc-2.3 special ctype.h stuff to let binary compiles
work on glibc-2.2.
o Fetchnews has MUCH improved posting behaviour and is more verbose in case of
trouble.
o Fetchnews speed-up in XOVER mode: avoid stat() if the article is ignored for
size or age. Reduces local I/O, particularly with -x, when recovering from
crashes or after adding new servers.
o function inlining is now checked for in ./configure, attributes.h is gone.
### DOCUMENTATION
o There is now a new documentation file, ADD-ONS, that currently lists leafwa
and Nikita V. Youshchenko's "mlgroups" patch.
o A German manual page for leafnode-version(1) has been added.
