| 6 Got some complains about readers sorting threads wrongly. Caused by noffle? | |
| 7 | |
| 8 Debug gnus. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 Has Client_connect resource leaks if it fails? | |

| 15 | |
| 16 Move some text from noffle.1 to noffle.conf.5 | |
| 17 | |
| 18 Read timeout when running as server and automatically close if client | |
| 19 does not send data for a longer time. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 Implement simple filter using popen or fifos. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 Make compatible to latest NNTP draft. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 Improve speed of online mode: | |
| 26 * Never update overview more than once per hour (or configurable time) | |
| 27 * Keep connection to server open for a while | |

| 41 exists forever after a server change. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 understand supersedes header (useful for reading news.answers group) | |
| 44 | |
| 45 Do not log program abortion due to SIGINT, if no inconsistency can occur, | |
| 46 (e.g. when calling 'noffle -d' to a pipe and next program terminates or | |
| 47 pressing ^C). | |
| 48 | |
| 49 Improve www page and documentation. | |
| 50 | |
| 51 Keeping the content list for several lock/unlock times could lead to | |
| 52 inconsistent results, because content list is maybe modified by | |
| 53 pseudo articles. Check this! | |
| 54 | |
| 55 Optimize NEWGROUPS (extra list?) | |
| 56 | |
| 57 Add noffle query option for checking all groups, if they are still | |
| 58 available at the remote server(s) and delete them otherwise. | |

| 63 | |
| 64 Get and execute cancel messages (read control.cancel, but use xpat to get | |
| 65 only cancels for groups in fetchlist). Seems to be expensive (20000 headers | |
| 66 a day, takes the remote server to search through) | |

| 71 | |
| 72 Regularely look into news.software.readers to see what people are using, | |
| 73 and test them with Noffle compiled in debug mode. | |
| 74 | |
| 75 Readers used by users or suitable for use with noffle. | |
