Greetings,

leafnode-1.11.7.rc4 has been released, it is available from
<http://home.pages.de/~mandree/leafnode/> and a release candidate to
leafnode-1.11.7. It's now also available as .tar.lzma archive,
lowering the download size by more than 10% compared to .tar.bz2.

My development tree has been converted to Git (used to be in CVS) and is
mirrored online (currently only with HTTP, not Git) from
<http://home.pages.de/~mandree/leafnode/leafnode-1.git/>.

Please test this release candidate and report success or failure,
particularly if you can access the leafnode server on BSDI,
DragonflyBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or PC-BSD!

Note also that you can donate via the SourceForge system (links are
readily available on http://www.leafnode.org/). Your donations help
finance the infrastructure used to host leafnode.

The changes from leafnode-1.11.7.rc3 are:

==============================================================================
### BUGFIXES BACKPORTED FROM LEAFNODE 2
+ lsort (used by make update) now detects and report errors.
+ "make update" handles the lockfile properly now: it records its PID and
  removes the lock also in cases of failure.
+ "make update" restores the old groupinfo file if lsort fails.
+ "make update" now builds an up-to-date lsort first.
+ "make update" now uses the configured NEWS_USER and _GROUP.
+ "make update" is now a phony Makefile target, i. e. it will work even
  if there is a file "update" in the build directory.

### CHANGES
+ leafnode-version now supports an additional "-v" mode to print more
  information on the installation. The output then is similar, but not
  identical - due to different feature sets - to the way leafnode-2 prints it.
==============================================================================

Have fun
Matthias
