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
