NNTP 1.5.10 is undergoing alpha testing as this time and will move into beta real soon now. Estimated release date is Labor Day. Here is the list of fixes and features thus far. 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 nntp. [dave@tis.com] Added an explicit definition of $(MAKE) to top-level Makefile. [lar@usl.edu] 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 to SETPROCTITLE option to not destroy environmental and arguement vectors. [Ken Stone <ken@hpsdlz.sdd.hp.com>]
