http://www.nntpcache.org/ 3.0.1 Sat Apr 6 01:59:56 EST 2002 (ap.pog.gia.tu.ra) * compat: update config.sub and config.guess to autoguess Darwin / MacOSx * compat: update ./configure to autoconf-2.53 3.0-b2 Fri Apr 5 01:32:28 EST 2002 (oneiromancy) * new: README.pam * change: use $libexec/nntpcache.debug for debug symbols * new: permit ':' and '@' in username and password definitions. some At-Home & MS passport controlled (ugh) were of this format * compat: be more flexible in closing and re-assigning file-descriptors. fixes some bogus openlog()/ closelog() implementations * change: doc/proff.style NAZI's * compat: eliminate pid_t warning in src/debug.c * compat: change "stat" to "status" for contrib/newshound/newshound.c. "stat" conflicted with the stat.h definition under AIX-5.1 * change: don't try and debug the debug task if it can no-longer read messages from other tasks * new: explicitly tell users to use 'nntpcached -n' for INSTALL step 8 3.0-b1 Sat Mar 30 11:51:29 EST 2002 (Enantiomorphosis) * new: idiot proof nntpcache.servers configuration * new: Make the decision to use a new mmap backing file on restart configuration via "refreshMmap" * change: explicitly enable core dumps * bugfix: fix bogus log message in src/xover.c * new: prevent runaway debug analysis by checking at most once every half hour * change: use mode, as opposed to flock/lockf locking for cached articles/headers. this technique is more reliable over nfs and newserver/reader crashes * new: robustify newsgroup structure locking * compat: under MacOSX, cc reports as gcc, but gcc CPP is not "gcc -E" * compat: AIX needs -lbsd for flock() * new: verbosely describe "server rebuild in progress" error * change: don't warn on seeing (\r[^\n])+\r\n, as this seems to be embedded in quite a few wild articles * bugfix: fix a few (usually rare) xover bugs * change: reorganise xover opening/locking/writing functions * compat: parse numbers representing time_t so as not to depend on the size of time_t (Tru64/OSF/alpha needed this) * compat: remove extra ';' in src/http.c which caused SUNSpro (Solaris CC) to choke * new: improved xover expiry * change: remove a warning in src/bregex.c. Note that the other warnings (at least under gcc and SUNSpro are bogus) * compat: use strrchr instead of rindex in src/authinfo_pipe.c * compat: EXPORT PAM functions only after pam types have been defined * compat: PAM compatability for Solaris and FreeBSD (tested on Solaris-8.x and FreeBSD-4.x) * compat: at least one newsreader used AUTHINFO with no arguments simply to check that the command was available. In this case return "350 Continue with authorization sequence" * compat: smarter scripts/genextern.sh * compat: add/reorder includes for mmap/mmap_tests.c * bugfix: don't use autoconf to generate mk/rules.mk, as automake uses this file before configure time. * compat: add SPT_PADCHAR definition for Linux in libproff/setproctiltle.c * change: add comment about bogus gcc warning in libproff/pattern.c * change: update doc/proff.style * change: move newshound config file to /etc/newshound/ * bugfix: various newshound bugfixes * new: perl newshound contributed by jer@gweep.net * bugfix: add missing /* */ pair in log.h (amazingly gcc compiled the previous code without complaint) * compat: wrap all GNU C extensions in GNUC_EXT macros, including extensions exported by scripts/genextern.sh (EXPORT macros) * compat: explicitly check for GNU make variations at ./configure time and give copious help if GNU make can not be located. Explicitly tell the user to use the discovered GNU make. * bugfix: CPP does not define build symbols which are needed by scripts/genextern.sh as opposed to cc -E. Always check for cc -E at ./configure time * new: NEWS file * change: modify INSTALL so even the pentagon can understand nntpcache builds with GNUMake * change: modify INSTALL to reflect new mailinglist details * bugfix: extensive three pass automake hackery to force regeneration of .ext's at the correct time and in the correct order * bugfix: sometimes a HEAD followed by a BODY when neither was previously cached resulted additional header characters in the body. Triggered by Pine. * compat: don't use creeping bsd featureisms (warn,<err.h>) in libproff -- Julian Assange |If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people |together to collect wood or assign them tasks and proff@iq.org |work, but rather teach them to long for the endless proff@gnu.ai.mit.edu |immensity of the sea. -- Antoine de Saint Exupery _______________________________________________ NNTPCache-users mailing list NNTPCache-users@nntpcache.org http://www.nntpcache.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nntpcache-users
