| 38 | 19 Forget cached group info when group database closed. |
| 20 <li> | |
| 21 Added list of 'forbidden' newsgroup specs., as defined in draft IETF | |
| 22 Newsgroup Format (C.Lindsey), tracked to replace RFC1036. This defines | |
| 23 newsgroup names that should only be used for server-local groups and | |
| 24 server pseudo-groups (e.g. INN's to.*, cancel, cancel.*, junk). These | |
| 25 are now intercepted when querying server groups and ignored. Group names | |
| 26 omitted are any single component names, any 'control.*', 'to' or | |
| 27 'to.*',and any with a component 'all' or 'ctl'. | |
| 28 Note these restrictions do not apply to local group names. | |
| 29 <li> | |
| 30 Fixed problem with article numbering if the overview file empties, | |
| 31 e.g. due to all articles in a very low volume group expiring. This | |
| 32 would cause article numbers to be set back to 1 when a new article | |
| 33 arrives. | |
| 34 <li> | |
| 35 Changed %i to %d in sscanfs everywhere. INN often (as it is entitled to | |
| 36 do) has leading zeros on numbers. %i interprets these as octal | |
| 37 numbers. Also changed %i to %d in printfs, for no good reason. | |
| 38 <li> | |
| 39 New groups now always start numbering at article 1. Previously article | |
| 40 numbering would start with the first held remote article number, in an | |
| 41 attempt to avoid newsreaders noticing if noffle is deleted and | |
| 42 reinstalled. Given Noffle may well not collect the first held article | |
| 43 anyway - it only will if the default number of articles to retrieve on | |
| 44 a first connect is big enough - and the fact that Noffle's pseudo | |
| 45 articles make it impossible to keep local article numbers in lock-step | |
| 46 with the server, there is the chance this scheme would just cause | |
| 47 readers to miss new articles. | |
| 48 <li> | |
| 49 Record newsgroup posting status. Enforce it at posting time. | |
| 50 Added --modify to change newsgroup descriptions for all groups and | |
| 51 posting status for local groups. | |
| 52 <li> | |
| 53 Added group deletion. | |
| 54 <li> | |
| 55 Added message cancellation - from command line or by control message. | |
| 56 Note command line only cancels locally - it can't be used to cancel a | |
| 57 message that has already gone offsite. A control messages cancels | |
| 58 locally if possible; it is only propaged offsite if the target is in a | |
| 59 non-local group and has itself already gone offsite. | |
| 60 <li> | |
| 61 Added wildmat code taken from INN - ensure Noffle wildcarding is | |
| 62 exactly to spec. | |
| 63 <li> | |
| 64 Added group-specific expire times. | |
| 65 <li> | |
| 66 Noffle now sends a "MODE READER" command after connecting to the | |
| 67 remote server. INN needs this before it will permit POST. | |
| 29 | 68 <li> |
