| 6 ------- | |
| 7 | |
| 8 * Forget cached group info when group database closed. | |
| 9 * Added list of 'forbidden' newsgroup specs., as defined in draft IETF | |
| 10 Newsgroup Format (C.Lindsey), tracked to replace RFC1036. This defines | |
| 11 newsgroup names that should only be used for server-local groups and | |
| 12 server pseudo-groups (e.g. INN's to.*, cancel, cancel.*, junk). These | |
| 13 are now intercepted when querying server groups and ignored. Group names | |
| 14 omitted are any single component names, any 'control.*', 'to' or | |
| 15 'to.*',and any with a component 'all' or 'ctl'. | |
| 16 Note these restrictions do not apply to local group names. | |
| 17 * Fixed problem with article numbering if the overview file empties, | |
| 18 e.g. due to all articles in a very low volume group expiring. This | |
| 19 would cause article numbers to be set back to 1 when a new article | |
| 20 arrives. | |
| 21 * New groups now always start numbering at article 1. Previously article | |
| 22 numbering would start with the first held remote article number, in an | |
| 23 attempt to avoid newsreaders noticing if noffle is deleted and | |
| 24 reinstalled. Given Noffle may well not collect the first held article | |
| 25 anyway - it only will if the default number of articles to retrieve on | |
| 26 a first connect is big enough - and the fact that Noffle's pseudo | |
| 27 articles make it impossible to keep local article numbers in lock-step | |
| 28 with the server, there is the chance this scheme would just cause | |
| 29 readers to miss new articles. | |
| 30 * Record newsgroup posting status. Enforce it at posting time. | |
| 31 Added --modify to change newsgroup descriptions for all groups and | |
| 32 posting status for local groups. | |
| 33 * Added group deletion. | |
| 34 * Added message cancellation - from command line or by control message. | |
| 35 Note command line only cancels locally - it can't be used to cancel a | |
| 36 message that has already gone offsite. A control messages cancels | |
| 37 locally if possible; it is only propaged offsite if the target is in a | |
| 38 non-local group and has itself already gone offsite. | |
| 39 * Added wildmat code taken from INN - ensure Noffle wildcarding is | |
| 40 exactly to spec. | |
| 41 * Added group-specific expire times. | |
| 42 * Noffle now sends a "MODE READER" command after connecting to the | |
| 43 remote server. INN needs this before it will permit POST. | |
| 44 * added support for local groups | |
| 45 * new command line options --create and --cancel | |
| 46 * Changed output of 'noffle -a all' to standard mailbox format, | |
| 47 so that tools like grepmail work. | |
| 48 * documentation updates | |
| 49 * NOFFLE now uses the autoconf/automake build-system | |
