Bug Fixes
-
innxmit can again handle regular filenames as input as well as storage API tokens (allowing it to be used to import an old traditional spool).
-
Several problems with tagged-hash history files have been fixed thanks to the debugging efforts of Andrew Gierth and Sang-yong Suh.
-
A very long-standing (since INN 1.0!) NNTP protocol bug in nnrpd was fixed. The response to an ARTICLE command retrieving a message by Message-ID should have the Message-ID as the third word of the response, not the fourth. Fixing this is reported to possibly cause problems with some Netscape browsers, but other news servers correctly follow the protocol.
-
Some serious performance problems with expiration of tradspool should now be at least somewhat alleviated. tradspool and timehash now know how to output file names for removal rather than tokens, and fastrm's ability to remove regular files has been restored. This should bring expiration times for tradspool back to within a factor of two of pre-storage-API expiration times.
-
Various other bug fixes and documentation updates.
New Feature
- Added a sample subscriptions file and documentation for it and innmail.
