Bug Fixes
-
inews no longer downloads the active file, no longer tries to send postings to moderated groups to the moderator directly, and in general duplicates less of the functionality of nnrpd, instead letting nnrpd handle it. This fixes the problem of inews not working properly for users other than news without being setgid.
-
A serious bug in the embedded Perl authentication hooks was fixed, thanks to Jan Rychter.
-
The annoying compilation problem with embedded Perl filtering on Linux systems without libgdbm installed should be fixed.
-
Many other varied bug fixes and documentation fixes of all sorts.
New Features
-
INN now complains loudly at configure time if the configured path for temporary files is world-writeable, since this configuration can be a security hole.
-
Added a man page for ckpasswd.
