[svn] * Makefile.in, configure, configure.in, docs/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in:
Added checks for the mail and sort programs. ./configure will abort if
they're not found.
* README: Removed the paragraph about news client software, as it's the same
as the one in docs/NOTES.
* TODO: Removed 'expiring by groups' and
'move some text from noffle.1 to noffle.conf.5'.
* docs/NOTES: Changed the text about -DDEBUG to explain one should use
'./configure --enable-debug'.
* docs/noffle.1, docs/noffle.conf.5: Minor fixes. Added myself and Jim Hague
to the AUTHORS section :-)
* src/client.h, src/common.h, src/configfile.h, src/content.c, src/content.h,
src/control.c, src/control.h, src/database.h, src/dynamicstring.c,
src/dynamicstring.h, src/fetch.h, src/fetchlist.h, src/group.h,
src/itemlist.c, src/itemlist.h, src/lock.h, src/log.c, src/log.h,
src/noffle.c, src/online.h, src/outgoing.h, src/over.c, src/over.h,
src/post.h, src/protocol.h, src/pseudo.h, src/request.h, src/server.h,
src/util.c, src/util.h: Added the <config.h> include.
* src/content.c: Added missing include "content.h". Added a missing 'void'
in the declaration of clearCont().
* src/fetchlist.c: Casted fetchlist.size to (size_t) in a call to qsort(),
as qsort() expects a size_t. This removes a warning.
* src/noffle.c: Made doRequested() static. Added missing void to
enableCorefiles().
* src/log.c, src/protocol.c, src/online.c, src/pseudo.c: Added missing
includes.
* src/pseudo.c: Made genOv() and genPseudo() static.
* src/server.c: Added missing void to postArts(). Made touchArticle() static.
* src/util.c: Casted arguments of malloc() and memcpy() to size_t.
* src/dynamicstring.c, src/itemlist.c, src/over.c, src/request.c, src/util.c:
Removed casting of the result of malloc(). This is not necessary and
can hide a missing include of <stdlib.h>.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 0.16 - 1.0pre6pre ----------------- * See ChangeLog
