- Update to 1.9.53 Upstream ChangeLog: ### BUGFIXES - Bugfix: do not re-authenticate if server requires authentication for the same command twice - to avoid an unterminated re-authentication loop. - Bugfix: Various error conditions now cause the problem to be logged. - Bugfix: Newly-added groups that are not in a server no longer cause fetchnews to proceed to the next server. - Bugfix: texpire did not repair the spool in archived groups (groupexpire some.news.group = -1) which caused duplicates and articles inaccessible by Message-ID after corruption. Reported by Dirk-Lüder Kreie. - Portability: One string was split for C89 conformance (string constants cannot exceed 509 characters). ### CHANGES - Feature: fetchnews supports an environment variable, LN_SKIP_GROUPS, that is treated as a comma-separated list of wildmats, any match sufficient. All matching groups are skipped, so you can skip your binary groups during daytime, for instance. Don Geddis had complained a configuration cheat he'd been using had stopped working with one of the recent fixes. Let there be an official way to do things instead. - Feature: The time zone is back in leafnode-generated Date: headers, provided that the operating system provides a tm_gmtoff member in struct tm (BSD, GNU). Systems that don't offer this use GMT and report the time zone as -0000. - Feature: The environment variable LN_DEBUG is now read as an integer. The debug level is the greater of debugmode in the config file and the contents of LN_DEBUG. - Compatibility: support forgetful servers that require re-authentication often. Reported by Andrew Cranson. - Consistency: the try_lock() debug message now goes to stdout, and only in verbose mode. It used to be printed on stderr, unlike most of the other debug messages. Reported by Kieron Dunbar. - Consistency: "skipped group.name, not in only_groups_pcre" message is now prefixed with the server name. - Documentation: If the volunteered authentication early in a connection fails, add a log that this condition may have been caused by premature authentication. NOTE: authentication implementations differ a lot. - Documentation: The server= examples in config.example were revised and are now G-rated and end in domains that are guaranteed to not exist.
