[news.software.anu-news] Status of NEWS 5.9 and "Normal" distribution?

SDROPPERS@pbs.uucp (Seton R. Droppers) (10/14/89)

How is the debugging of News 5.9 comming along, is it to the point where
"consumer" sites should be looking for V5.9 and patches or should we wait a bit
more?  I have been trying to follow the discussion, but being new to ANU News
and its use I am not sure what the customs are.  I am sure there are a number
of use "newer" folks around now that the DECUS UUCP system is about, perhaps
one of you kind soles can post a summary of where the key work for News is
done, and what the normal format for distribution and such is (yes I realise
"normal" is a relative term, but well I hope you get what I am getting at...)?
