libutil:
- 091298:
- configutil: fixed a bug in readconfig() which crippled the "nodesc"
option. The format of "nodesc" is now different: it is put on a
separate line.
- 081298:
- activutil: replaced the for{} loop for removal of spurious '\0'
bytes with calls to memchr(). This makes the operation at least
twice as fast if the groupinfo file is not corrupted. If the
groupinfo file is corrupted, the operation becomes rather slow,
however (which is maybe not too bad since it makes users notice :-).
Miscellaneous:
- 091298:
- fixed "nodesc" description in leafnode.8 and config.example
- 081298:
- some changes to the README file
libutil:
- 031298:
- configutil: included some code for parsing "nodesc" parameters with
servers
- 031298:
- configutil: removed code for postserver; we don't need it anymore
- 221198:
- configutil: posting would not work anymore. Fixed.
- 211198:
- configutil: messed up and repaired parse_line()
- 211198:
- xoverutil: removed a superfluous "#include <setjmp.h>"
- 211198:
- deleted sfgets() from nntputil
- 211198:
- moved getaline() from nntputil to miscutil
- 211198:
- configutil: now every server can have its own port, username and
password (suggested by Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net>)
- 211198:
- miscutil: chdirgroup() did always create new directories (annoying
when using Netscape). Fixed.
- 201198:
- configutil: some changes with regard to starting of debugging
- 201198:
- configutil: new parameter maxbytes. Instead of actually determining
how many bytes a message has, maxbytes calculates the maximal number
of lines such a message might have and works then with maxlines.
This reduces NNTP traffic but might be deleterious for program listings
and similar stuff.
- 191198:
- configutil: new parameter minlines
- 181198:
- activutil: readactive(): stuff is now not free()d anymore at the
beginning of the procedure (caused segfaults)
- 131198:
- configutil: debugmode > 1 now makes all programs produce corefiles
- 131198:
- activutil: blocked stuff from leafnode-1.5 removed
- 131198:
- activutil: readactive(): stuff no more static
- 131198:
- activutil: readactive(): active is now always cleared
- 091198:
- activutil: complete rewrite of readactive() since it would still
segfault at times.
- 061198:
- nntputil: new function nntpdisconnect() which makes all the proper
tests and then disconnects an NNTP connection.
- 311098:
- xoverutil: getxover() returns now 0 when directory is empty
- 301098:
- configutil: new parameter "debugmode". If set, the programs will
continue to generate lots of output to the news.debug syslog
facility. Otherwise, they won't.
fetch:
- 051298:
- if a new server is added in the config file, fetch now gets the
full list of newsgroups the first time.
- 041298:
- articles are now posted to all upstream servers that allow posting.
To achieve this, the filenames of successfully posted articles are
put into a list and all entries in this list are deleted later with
the new function delposted(). This is probably not bug-free at all
yet.
- 031298:
- code for postservers removed: fetch now realizes whether a server
allows posting or not and only in the former case will try to post
articles
- 031298:
- code for servers which don't support XGTITLE or LIST NEWSGROUPS
is now partially configurable: option should be
server = your.server.host nodesc
- 221198:
- lockfile_exists() introduced: makes all proper tests and removes
stuff from the main file. Suggested by Bjørn Frantzen
<bjoff@bgnett.no>
- 211198:
- getgroup(): fixed an instance of sloppy programming (introduced by
myself in 1.6.2) that lead to a bug when I rewrote the code for parsing
the config file
- 211198:
- getgroup(): fixed a bug when article was already present (error
message "unable to store article: "). It is unclear at the moment
what causes articles to be fetched twice. It is also unclear what
"Invalid argument" means when returned by stat().
- 201198:
- getgroup(): fixed a bug in the code which would result in odd
behaviour of fetch if verbosity was off and a group contained
no new articles
- 201198:
- getgroup(): for some odd reason fetch forgot to automatically
unsubscribe newsgroups (this bug was introduced in 1.6). Fixed.
- 191198:
- added parameter "minlines" because of spamming with empty articles
of alt.religion.scientology
- 181198:
- corrected a small error when calculating initial limits (reported
by Diana Schirmer <diana.schirmer@t-online.de>)
- 171198:
- some authentication code put into main(), courtesy of Jeff East
<an972@freenet.carleton.ca>
- 101198:
- new code for upstream servers which neither support XGTITLE nor
LIST NEWSGROUPS properly (see detailed explanation under misc).
- 091198:
- fixed problems with delayed body fetching and multiple servers
(reported by Holger Graf <Holger.Graf@gmx.net>).
- 061198:
- removed double call of usage() from main()
- 061198:
- included -f option in usage()
- 061198:
- fetch would sometimes not disconnect properly. Bug and fix reported
by Peter Hirdina <Peter.Hirdina@gmx.net> and Juergen Richter
<richter@wohnheim.uni-ulm.de>.
- 061198:
- fixed a typo in age()
- 061198:
- fetch now logs its version number to news.debug
- 301098:
- added debugmode thingy
- 281098:
- removed a possible cause of segfaults if /var/spool/news/active.read
did not exist (in nntpactive()).
- 251098:
- fetch would ignore lines beginning with a dot. Fixed. Reported
by Michael Guertler <guertler@cs.bonn.edu>.
- 221098:
- fetch crashed if the permissions of /var/lock/news were messed up
(which they should never have been, but apparently some people
messed around with permissions). Now fetch terminates with proper
error message. Reported by Peter Hirdina <Peter.Hirdina@gmx.net>.
nntpd:
- 211198:
- pseudo articles now do not refer to http://www.troll.no/ anymore.
- 211198:
- removed superfluous declaration of fqdn[64]
- 101198:
- removed creation of dotfiles in dolistgroup()
- 091198:
- when a client would use LIST OVERVIEW.FMT after GROUP, XOVER would
not work properly anymore. Reported and fixed by Michael Schwendt
<sidplay@geocities.com>. (This bugfix makes the news client of
StarOffice work properly.)
- 061198:
- markinterest(): interesting.groups/news.groups.name is now opened
with O_APPEND instead of O_TRUNC. (Opening the file with O_TRUNC
would delete previously marked articles when using the "delaybody"
option.) Bug report and fix provided by Holger Graf
<grafh@t-online.de>.
- 311098:
- for some reason nntpd would not log incoming commands anymore
if debugmode was on. Fixed.
- 301098:
- added debugmode thingy
texpire:
- 211198:
- total deletes are now also logged to news.info
- 201198:
- messed around with the expiry algorithm
- 061198:
- added logging of version number to news.debug
- 061198:
- added a usage message
- 061198:
- added -f option (don't check atimes of files, important when
you grep through a spool directory or otherwise read files in
the spool directory manually)
- 301098:
- added debugmode thingy
checkgroups:
- 301098:
- more informative error message if checkgroups file could not
be opened
Misc:
- 031298:
- documentation for "nodesc" added
- 031298:
- Makefile: #define HAVE_XGTITLE removed (now configurable)
- 211198:
- gave up the project to give each function its own file since size
reduction is at most 10 kBytes after stripping (before stripping
there is even size increase):
"old" "new"
20464 14640 checkgroups
51824 46976 fetch
48560 44088 nntpd
33800 23368 texpire
- 211198:
- updated leafnode.8 and config.example (which did not include
an example of a supplementary server either)
- 201198:
- updated leafnode.8 to include "minlines" and "maxbytes"
- 101198:
- updated README
- 101198:
- Makefile: new #define HAVE_XGTITLE (by default switched on) must
be switched off if upstream newsserver supports neither "XGTITLE
news.group.name" nor "LIST NEWSGROUPS news.group.name" (reported
by Richard Poole <rp202@rp202.demon.co.uk>)
- 091198:
- fixed a typo in newsq.1 (reported by Lenz Grimmer
<grimmer@suse.de>)
- 091198:
- changed Makefile: newsq is now also installed (in /usr/local/bin)
- 091198:
- updated TODO file
- 091198:
- added CREDITS file
- 061198:
- added documentation for -f to texpire.8
- 061198:
- added documentation for debugmode to leafnode.8
