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

1.0pre6
-------

 * Add support for XOVER with no argument. Also XHDR with message ID
   argument and XHDR when 'xref' requested (trn needs this).
 * 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.
 * 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
