<h2>Current developer version</h2>

<ul>

line options --create and --cancel.
</ul>

<h2>Version 1.0pre5</h2>

<ul>
<li>
Fixed bug: multiple-line headers of posted articles were truncated.
<li>
Core files are always enabled when running as server and debugging
symbols are always in the executable.

Use GDBM_FAST flag for hash files.
<li>
Fixed a bug in online mode with servers that need authentication.

article list after releasing/regetting the global lock
<li>
Server is now allowed to generate core files on crash (in spool directory)
if compiled with -DDEBUG option

New config option "connect-timeout"
<li>
Minor improvements and bug-fixes
</ul>

<h2>Version 1.0pre3</h2>
