Cachers,
I've created a development snapshot of 0.91.0UL. It is probably
frightfully unreliable and will not work correctly with systems that do
not have a working mmap(). Even so, I'd really appreciate some critical
feed back or encouragements at this stage. There are some fairly
extensive changes in the new code.
You will need to completely remove the cache heirarchy and
make a /etc/nntpcache (config) directory and place
required files (nntpcache.{config,servers,access}) there
in order test this latest incarnation.
