NOFFLE NEWS -- User visible changes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.0pre6
-------

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