Bug Fixes
-
Previous versions of INN had an optimization for handling
XHDR Newsgroupsthat used the Xref header field from overview. While this does make the command much faster, it doesn't produce accurate results and breaks the NNTP protocol, so this optimization has been removed. -
Fixed a bug in innd that allowed it to accept articles with duplicated header fields if the header field occurred an odd number of times. Modified the programs for rebuilding overview to use the last Xref header field if there are multiple ones to avoid problems with spools that contain such invalid articles.
-
Fixed yet another problem with verifying that a user has permissions to approve posts to a moderated group. Thanks, Jens Schlegel.
-
Increase the send and receive buffer on the Unix domain socket used by ctlinnd. This should allow longer replies (particularly for innstat) on platforms with very low default Unix domain socket buffer sizes.
-
rnews's handling of articles with nul characters, NNTP errors, header problems, and deferrals has been significantly improved.
-
Thomas Parmelan fixed a problem in send-uucp with picking up old stranded work files.
-
Many other more minor bug fixes, optimization improvements, and documentation fixes.
New Feature
- Thomas Parmelan added support to send-uucp for specifying the funnel or exploder site to flush for feeds managed through one.
