Here is the final list of features/bugs fixes for NNTP 1.5.10. It has passed alpha testing (on BNEWS and CNEWS) and is now entering beta. I expect that beta will be smooth and it will release shortly after September 1st. Fixes to spawn.c to allow it to work correctly with CNEWS. [All CNEWS sites....Sorry, guys and gals!] Fixes to prevent mysterious chowning of directories by nntpd. [dave@tis.com] Corrections to code in misc.c so that #undef SYSLOG will still compile. [rb@newton.physics.purdue.edu] Added more precision to time reports. [flee@shire.cs.psu.edu] Modified nntpsend.sh to use the correct test flag. [zjat02@trc.amoco.com (Jon A. Tankersley)] Fixed a bug in check_ng that caused the server to close down and abort on occasion. [Jyrki Kuoppala <jkp@cs.hut.fi>] Fixed a bug in access.c that might cause the first line in the nntp_access file to be skipped. [Jari Helminen <hja@otax.tky.hut.fi>] Fix to mini-inews to insure that variables are being set before they are used. [muller@ucsd.edu] Fix so that SETPROCTITLE option will not destroy environmental and arguement vectors. [ken@hpsdlz.sdd.hp.com, leres@ftp.ee.lbl.gov] Support for mmap() system call in nntpxmit. [david@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov, stevo@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov] Changes for hpux so that SETPROCTITLE will work and flexnames can be used if supported. [pk@unidoct.chemietechnik.uni-dortmund.de, ken@hpdlz.sdd.hp.com] LOAD now supported when nntp is started by inetd. [mcooper@usc.edu]
