Change Logs

* Sat May 28 2022 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.1.0
  Bug fixes:
  * CORE: Authentication without password is now rejected.
  * MAIN: Potential deadlocks in thread-safe replacement functions
    fixed.
  * GUI: State machine modified to avoid race condition when
    articles are marked read while group is not completely loaded
    yet.
  New features and improvements:
  * GUI: Option to automatically check for new articles added (an
    interval in minutes can be configured with the new
    "refresh_interval" entry in configfile).
  * GUI: Checkbox "Tools->Debug mode" removed. Debug mode must be
    enabled with command line option "-debug".
  * NNTP: Protocol logfile is only created if debug mode was
    enabled (and unlinked otherwise, if present). "Tools->Protocol
    console" window now requires debug mode.
  * GUI: Support for estimated article count in subscription window
    added
  * GUI: Support for group descriptions in subscription window
    added
  * NNTP: Support for LIST NEWSGROUPS command (RFC 3977) added
  * GUI: Support for subscription proposals from server added
    (offered to user after server was changed and group list is
    empty)
  * CORE: Support for subscription proposals from server added
  * NNTP: Support for LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS command (RFC 6048) added
  * GUI: File save operations now suggest a pathname in the file
    selection window.
  * GUI: File save operations now ask the user before an existing
    file is overwritten.
  * CORE: Function added to suggest a pathname (created from home
    directory, program name and timestamp).
  * CORE: Message-IDs are now generated with algorithm A3 (uses a
    modified Base64 alphabet with "/" replaced by "-"). This
    allows to generate RFC 5538 conformant "news"-URIs without
    percent-encoding.
* Thu May 13 2021 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.0.0
  Important notes:
  * The new configuration data format is not compatible with versions 0.x
    (indicated by the major number bump)!
    A script is provided to automatically convert existing configuration
    data to the new format. Read "migration/README" for details.
  * Because the location of the configuration has changed (see new XDG
    module below), the configuration for versions 0.x is preserved.
  * It is still possible to downgrade flnews to 0.x, the preserved old
    configuration data is used again in this case.
  * Now the release version contains 3 numbers "x.y.z"
    Major (x) indicates compatibility with configuration data
    Minor (y) is incremented for new features
    Patch (z) is incremented for bug fixes
  Bug fixes:
  * CORE: Request for group information is no longer rejected with error
    if the group list is empty.
  * GUI: After unsubscribing the last group, the article tree/list was not
    cleared and the user can click on articles for which the associated
    data no longer exists. Such operations will crash the program
    (reported by Martin Schnitkemper).
  * CORE: Line length limit (998 octets) is now checked before injection.
  * GUI: On macOS with system menu bar the status updates to menu entry
    "Group->Sort by article number" work now (patch from Dennis Preiser).
    The required method update() is not available with old FLTK 1.3
    libraries, the option CFG_COCOA_SYS_MENUBAR now requires FLTK 1.4.
  * ENC: URI percent encoder for scheme <news> fixed: The characters
    defined as <gen-delims> (RFC 3986 Section 2.2) are now encoded
    (reported by Marcel Logen).
  * GUI: The URI parser now accepts empty <host> for scheme <news>.
  * GUI: The current group selection is now restored after a click into
    the empty space below the group list (reported by Christian
    Schumacher).
  * GUI: The article list/tree is now cleared after selecting an empty
    group (formerly articles of an unrelated group may still be visible).
  * GUI: Some FLTK versions accept selection of deactivated items. There
    is now a workaround implemented to make such selections nonfatal.
  * GUI: Horizontal scrolling to highlighted result of search fixed.
  * GUI: Use FLTK default forground color for group subscription window
    too. This should make the content readable with dark background
    (reported by Christian Schumacher).
  * NLS: German translation "Artikel herunterladen fehlgeschlagen" fixed
    (reported by Marcel Logen).
  * GUI: If there are multiple signature separators ("-- ") present, now
    the last one is used according to "Usenet Best Practice" draft 01
    (reported by Marcel Logen).
  New features and improvements:
  * XDG: Moved default configuration directory to location defined by XDG
  * Base Directory Specification 0.7 ("$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$CFG_NAME").
    Other modules now ask the XDG module for the configuration path.
  * MAIN: The new command line option "-confprefix" can be used to
    override the configuration directory (proposed by Helmut Waitzmann).
  * GUI: It is now possible to mark all articles in all groups as read
    (menu entry "Group->Mark all groups as read").
  * MAIN: New command line option "-debug" to enable debug mode early.
  * CONF: configfile entry "domain" replaced with "fqdn". Some users
    saw the hostname field in Message-ID algorithm A1 as privacy problem.
    A <dot-atom> can be configured for the new entry "fqdn" (should be a
    fully qualified domain name, but without root domain). It is used as
    <id-right> element when a Message-ID is created with algorithm A2.
  * Support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH Specification 1.1 added to build system.
    Reproducible build option CFG_REPRODUCIBLE removed from CONFIG.
    The SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH variable from the environment now overrides the
    dates in the GUI, the output of the "-v" command line option and the
    man pages (original patch from Bernhard M. Wiedemann).
  * Support for target "install-strip" added to build system. The target
    "install" no longer strips unnecessary symbols from binaries
    (proposed by Martin Schnitkemper).
  * EXT: Support for external inews added.
    Pathname can be specified with the new "inews" entry in configfile.
  * TLS: Protocol versions 1.0 and 1.1 are now disabled as required by
    RFC 8996. Both versions are still available in "weak" encryption mode.
  * GUI: New menu entry "Group->Mark subthread as read".
  * GUI: If there is only one entity to display for a MIME multipart
    message (e.g. the selected one with multipart/alternative), the
    entity header is now displayed too.
  * GUI: An initial greeting phrase can now be specified with the new
    "initial_greeting" entry in configfile. It is inserted into articles
    that start a new thread (proposed by Wolfgang Bauer).
  * FUTIL: Function added to create (multiple) missing directories of a
    path.
  * FILTER: New scorefile syntax to eliminate the workaround with type
    "extended". All score rules now have a wildmat in the first field.
  * FILTER: Simplified default regex for test group detection to
    "\.test$|^test$", removing the ".*" part at the beginning (proposed by
    Urs Janßen).
  * POSIX: Support for POSIX.1-2008 and SUSv4 added.
    No local replacement functions are used anymore on modern operating
    systems. snprintf() replacement function now uses SUSv4 semantics.
  * ENC: MIME encoded-words are now generated with "US-ASCII" charset
    declaration if there is no 8-bit data to encode in the header field
    (e.g. to represent words like " =?-?= " in a RFC 2049 conformant way).
    This follows the "lowest common denominator" principle decribed in
    RFC 2046 Section 4.1.2.
  * TLS: Deprecated functions from OpenSSL 3 API are no longer used.
  * GUI: Modified question popup windows to handle pressing ESC key as
    "No" or "Reject" respectively.
  * GUI: Some entries moved from menu "Article" to "Group".
