ftp://ftp.nntpcache.org/pub/nntpcache-2.3.3b1.tar.gz 2.3.3b1: Mon Aug 3 07:50:25 EST 1998 * change: task structures revamped * new: user definable nice values for process crew. * change: Exit -> retire_vm_proc where applicable. * bugfix: process pid was wrongly reported in process list * new: web-server / statistics substantially extended * bugfix: the introduction of 64 bit counters in nntpcache-2.3.2 caused headaches (e.g sigsegvs, in the nocem logging macros/statistics) for systems which didn't auto-demote 64bit - 64bit arithmetic into a 32bit int when used as an argument to *printf corresponding to a '%d' format specifier. * bugfix: src/nocem.c:nocem_scan_group() typo caused the last nocem update time to be miscalculated. * bugfix: missing flushes in src/ihave.c caused IHAVE to sometimes pause forever. * bugfix: more than maxXoverNodes * 512 (10240 by default) XOVER's being accessed in one hit resulted in XOVER's prior to this figure (in the same hit) not making it onto the disk. * bugfix: /* hpux */ comment in configure.in naturally tried to run the first thing in the root directory ;) * bugfix: don't believe a news-server when it says there are 0 0 articles in a group in response to a GROUP command - 0 0 means `undefined' according to RFC977. * bugfix: potential race condition for Update and Expire daemon reaping. * bugfix: gif images were not always presented correctly from the nntpcahce web-server (cache miss conditional blank line in the HTTP prelude). * change: clarify a few type definitions that egcs-2.91.50+1998071 took a disliking to. now compiles with -O9 and -mpentium * bugfix: ARTICLE <stats@nntpcache> a sigsegv. this code is being phased out anyway (in favour of statistics as presented by the web-server), it now (mostly) works again. * bugfix: global (as opposed to per-server) byte counter statistics were not collected correctly. * bugfix: trivial typo (extra \r\n) for loginn macro in src/post.c * bugfix: add a dummy call calloc() to force linking with our calloc() replacement. some systems (e.g linux/libc6) don't over-ride libc calloc otherwise and thus suffer from interference between the nntpcahce shared memory [cm]alloc replacement library and libc calloc (the latter being called not from nntpcache, but directly from libc routines). * bugfix: tweak inn logging compatability macros for greater verismiltude. * bugfix: taskInfoPrivacy (concealing the current group of a client from ps(1)) wasn't obeyed everywhere. * bugfix: add a few missing closelog()'s (not important) * bugfix: trivial logging typo in src/nntpcache.c * bugfix: force `mode reader' for async ACTIVE/NEWSGROUPS (etc) updates. Some news-servers didn't refused to dish out active lists et al when not in reader mode. * new: adaptive LISTGROUP * new: smarter handling of high/low article counts * bugfix: "permissions" in src/http.c somehow ended up as "permimacroons". No-one caught this before. Like the peasents cheering the emperor's imaginary clothes, no one wanted to admit they were just too unhip to dig it.
