3 Urgent
4 =============================================================================
5
6 Got some complains about readers sorting threads wrongly. Caused by noffle?
7
8 Debug gnus.

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
28
29 Check all in
30 http://mars.superlink.net/user/tal/writings/news-software-authors.html
31 (Use NOV library? Use inews for validating posted articles? ... )
32
33 Use numbers when retrieving articles. Retrieving by message-id
34 is disabled at some servers.
35
36 Expire should clean up empty request/outgoing directories, so they will not
37 exists forever after a server change.
38
39 understand supersedes header (useful for reading news.answers group)
40
41 Do not log program abortion due to SIGINT, if no inconsistency can occur,
42 (e.g. when calling 'noffle -d' to a pipe and next program terminates or
43 pressing ^C).
44
45 Improve www page and documentation.
46
47 Keeping the content list for several lock/unlock times could lead to
48 inconsistent results, because content list is maybe modified by
49 pseudo articles. Check this!
50
51 Optimize NEWGROUPS (extra list?)
52
53 Add noffle query option for checking all groups, if they are still
54 available at the remote server(s) and delete them otherwise.
55
56 =============================================================================
57 Some day far away
58 =============================================================================
59
60 Get and execute cancel messages (read control.cancel, but use xpat to get
61 only cancels for groups in fetchlist). Seems to be expensive (20000 headers
62 a day, takes the remote server to search through)
63
64 =============================================================================
65 Always
66 =============================================================================
67
68 Regularely look into news.software.readers to see what people are using,
69 and test them with Noffle compiled in debug mode.
70
71 Readers used by users or suitable for use with noffle.
