 NOFFLE ChangeLog
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Mon 24 Jul 20:30:05 BST 2000 Jim Hague <jim.hague@acm.org>
+* src/database.h,src/database.c,src/server.c: Redo XHDR and
+XPAT to handle 'XHDR <msgid>' and 'XPAT <msgid>'. Common up
+code shared by XHDR and XPAT.
+* src/server.c,packages/redhat/noffle.spec: Remove pipe through
+sort(1) in printGroups() and dependency on textutil(RedHat)/
+textutils(SuSE) packages in RPM. The RPM now works on RedHat
+and derivatives and SuSE.
+* src/server.c: Release lock while collecting POST article and while
+reporting XOVER x-y results.
+* src/server.c: Update group 'last accessed' timestamp when XOVER read.
+This for smooth working with 'trn' and other newsreaders that only
+read the XOVER unless an article read. I have newsgroups I want to scan
+but only infrequently read an article - I don't want them getting
+unsubscribed.
+* src/server.c: Change server read timeout to 2 secs, release the lock
+if we'v held it for 2 secs so we don't starve anybody else, and
+if reading a command when we don't hold the lock don't use timeout.
+* src/util.c: Fix Utl_newsDate and Utl_parseNewsDateto work properly
+in all timezones.
+* src/lock.h,src/lock.c,src/noffle.c: Add 'fetch' lock to main lock,
+add Lock_gotLock() so we can test the main lock state (currently used
+only in ASSERTs). Fetch lock can be obtained WAIT or NOWAIT - latter
+fails immediately if lock not available.
+* src/client.c,src/fetch.c,src/noffle.c: Change lock handling during a fetch.
+Begin by obtaining 'fetch' lock - if busy, exit fetch immediately with
+error message. Then during fetch release the lock except when processing
+received data; in cases when incoming data is multi-line, collect all
+data first and then process. The aim is to ensure the lock isn't held
+with a network operation is in progress. I may carry on and extend this
+to all server operations as well (so a slow client can't hog the lock).
+Sat Jun 22 2000 Markus Enzenberger <markus.enzenberger@t-online.de>
+* doc/NOTES: Removed section about GNUS hanging. It was caused
+by the "select" bug in Noffle.
 Sat Jul 22 2000 Markus Enzenberger <markus.enzenberger@t-online.de>
 * request.c: Applied patch from M.Nalis:
 Modify Req_add() to append to requested/news.serv.er file each MsgID (and
 * Applied patch from M.Nalis for fixing a small problem with
 the printed counters while fetching articles.
 Wed Jul 19 2000 Markus Enzenberger <markus.enzenberger@t-online.de>
-* Do not acquire global lock for prniting help
+* Do not acquire global lock for printing help
+Mon Jul 17 11:19:06 BST 2000 Jim Hague <jim.hague@acm.org>
+* src/client.h,src/client.c,src/noffle.c,docs/noffle.1: Remove
+'--query times' option. Creation time should always be time of
+creation on local server.
+* src/group.h,src/group.c: Remove Grp_setCreated().
+Fri Jul 14 15:20:14 BST 2000 Jim Hague <jim.hague@acm.org>
+* src/client.c,src/fetch.c,src/noffle.c: The groupinfo.lastupdate file
+was being used to (a) indicate the time of the last addition to group
+information, and (b) the last access to a server. With more than one
+server specified, (a) meant the groupinfo.lastupdate file was updated
+when new groups on the server (or a new fetch of the server group list)
+were processed. When server 2 came to use the file for (b) (to determine
+the time to specify when sending the NEWGROUPS command), the time was
+already set by server 1 and so server 2 would not see new groups. Fix
+this by creating lastupdate.<server> files for use (b).
+* src/client.c,src/group.c: Set initial group creation time to the current
+time. Previously it was set to 0, so new groups were not reported to a
+NEWGROUPS request unless 'noffle --query times' was run - even then,
+local groups would never be reported. Setting the creation time to the
+creation time on the local server makes things work properly. NB - the
+group creation time should always be reported as the creation time on
+the server; must fix this and remove '--query times'. This change will
+require 'noffle --query groups' to be re-run to create the server
+lastupdate.<server> files.
 Fri Jul 14 2000 Matija Nalis <mnalis-sf@voyager.hr>
 * Added counter for --fetch so one can see how much it is until the
 end of the transfer.
+Mon Jul 03 12:05:50 BST 2000 Jim Hague <jim.hague@acm.org>
+* src/database.h,src/database.c,src/server.c: Fix 'XHDR <msgId>' and
+add 'XPAT <msgId>'. 'XHDR <msgId>' previously only worked if
+msgId was a message in the current group. My brain was really
+in neutral when I did that.
 Fri Jun 30 2000 Markus Enzenberger <markus.enzenberger@t-online.de>
 * src/server.c: Leave online mode, if the connection to a remote server
 fails for avoiding a series of timeouts and holding the lock for
 from command line.
 * src/post.c: Bugfix - Post_close on duplicate article post.
 * src/protocol.c: Fix bug in Prt_genMsgId that caused duplicate
 message IDs to be generated for posts in the same second.
+Sat Jun 22 2000 Markus Enzenberger <markus.enzenberger@t-online.de>
+* src/server.c, src/protocol.c: Fixed a critical bug. "select" cannot
+be used with buffered stdio. This caused Noffle to hang with some
+readers (like tin).
 Mon Jun 19 22:43:38 BST 2000 Jim Hague <jim.hague@acm.org>
 * src/util.c, src/database.c: Fix header line reading bug.
