----------------------------------------
leafnode 1.12.0 has been released
----------------------------------------
https://www.leafnode.org/
https://leafnode.sourceforge.io/
.--------------------------------------------------------------.
| If you like leafnode, please consider donating - voluntarily |
| Donate via https://sourceforge.net/p/leafnode/donate/ |
`--------------------------------------------------------------'
Leafnode 1.12.0 is a minor maintenance update and changes the PCRE
dependency to the PCRE2 distribution, because PCRE is no longer
maintained, and PCRE2 has been stable for a while so that major
Linux or BSD distributions have been carrying it.
This version is available in .tar.xz and .tar.gz format from these sites
(I chose not to publish .tar.bz2 any more, .xz is more efficient):
o SourceForge -- Source .tar.xz and .tar.gz
https://sourceforge.net/projects/leafnode/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/leafnode/files/leafnode/1.12.0/
Below are file checksums and the NEWS file excerpt, with changes since
the previous release. The full ChangeLog ships with the tarballs.
The Git repository is at https://gitlab.com/leafnode-2/leafnode-1/
and mirrored at https://sourceforge.net/p/leafnode/git/ci/master/tree/
Have fun,

### CHANGES
- leafnode now requires the PCRE2 library instead of PCRE.
PCRE2 has been around for a few years and is maintained,
while PCRE is end of life, no longer supported,
and is being phased out by distributions.
See its home page, https://github.com/PhilipHazel/pcre2
Fixes Debian Bug#1000110 reported by Matthew Vernon via Moritz Mühlenhoff.
- Documentation for running under daemontools/ucspi-tcp (tcpserver)
has been removed, only UNINSTALL-daemontools remains as documentation.
- leafnode 1 is now distributed in gzip and xz formats.
bzip2 will no longer be used because xz performs better overall.
- All files have been converted from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 encoding.
- Added leafnode@.service and leafnode.socket as examples for how to launch
the network-based leafnode listening on port 119.

### CHANGES
- The sourceforge.net hosting was reconfigured to serve HTTPS, thus, the
leafnode website is now at https://leafnode.sourceforge.io/
- https://www.leafnode.org/ is now being served by an external nginx-based
web server so it can use a proper TLS certificate.
- The GMANE links and last modified tag have been removed from the
website.
- The web site has been updated to use newer https:// links where available.
- The mailing list has been moved to the leafnode.org domain. See README.
### BUGFIXES
- A configuration --without-ipv6 now compiles again. Patch by Michael Bäuerle.
- Leafnode recognizes an EEXIST error to rmdir() the same as ENOTEMPTY.
Patch by Gary R. Schmidt.
- Leafnode no longer trashes the stack if it, while scanning the message.id
directory, finds a directory with an all-numeric name that is 1000 or higher.
Reported by Matthias Gerstner.

### BUGFIXES
- The configfile parser now strips whitespace between a configuration
parameter's value and a trailing comment. Found by Cecil Westerhof.
- The roff manual page sources now render proper hyphens (-), minus characters
(\-) and en-dashes (\[en]) depending on their context. This is so that
copying-and-pasting from the manual page works properly.
- The code that checks if the peer is local now properly deals with IPv4
mapped IPv6 addresses.

### BUGFIXES
- Some more format strings that used the 'h' width specifier have been
changed to remove it, and cast the argument instead, in case we must use
our snprintf.c replacement.
Fixes FreeBSD PR#179483 and https://sourceforge.net/p/leafnode/bugs/19/,
debugged and reported by Alexey Markov.
- The configure.ac updates broke detection of a working snprintf, so that
the bug above was exposed on many systems.
### CHANGES
- When cross-compiling, leafnode now assumes that the target has a proper
snprintf implementation, and will not provide its own.

### BUGFIXES
- The whoami() function is now IPv6 enabled. Code contributed to openSUSE by
Boris Manojlovic and submitted by Andreas Stieger, with additional bugfixes
by Robert Grimm, fixing Debian Bug #667998, reported by Jose Antonio Ortega
Ruiz <ja...@gn...>.
- Do not delete news spool on "make uninstall" (which would lose all data),
but instead only print instructions how the user could do that.
Reported by Pasi Kallinen, fixes SourceForge bug #3520120.
- The --with-user= now propagates to leafnode.xinetd.
Inspired by a bug report sent by Ken Robinson.
- When complaining that we are unable to switch the user ID, report the
current real and effective user IDs to ease debugging.
Inspired by a bug report sent by Ken Robinson.
### CHANGES
- Leafnode no longer supports PCRE versions before 2.06.
- Leafnode now lets autoconf look for a good sed command, and runs it
instead of a hard-coded "sed" (first from the $PATH) from "subst".
- Leafnode's subst program (run during build) now runs sed under LC_ALL=C.
This might fix SourceForge Bug#3575233 reported by Martin Krischik,
where leafnode failed to compile under macports for MacOS X 10.8.
- Work around compilation failures in ma_sock2name.c due to broken
IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED macro on Linux eglibc (Ubuntu 12.04) when
compiling in strict conformance mode.
- configure.ac updates to avoid autoconf warnings on newer autoconf versions.
- Remove some compiler warnings that were enabled during development, but
are not terribly useful on code that is not going to change much.

Version 1.11.8 is an update that fixes a few minor bugs and
incompatibilities that have appeared over time.
It improves IPv6 support and enables it by default.
A binary RPM for Linux i486 with glibc 2.3 is provided.
It also requires packages providing libpcre.so.0 and xinetd.
For easier debugging (and only if backtraces are needed, such as when
leafnode/fetchnews stall or crash), there are now
- -debuginfo/-debugsource RPMs, too.

### BUGFIXES
+ Performance optimization, reported by Gary R. Schmidt.
+ Fix a compiler warning on computers where "long" is a wider type than "int",
such as many 64-bit computers.
+ Fix compiler warnings on computers where "long" is a wider type than
"time_t", such as NetBSD 5.X on 64-bit computers.
+ Fix compiler warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules"
+ Fix a file descriptor leak in fetchnews.c's getbody_newno function; reported
to Debian BTS by Helmut Grohne, fix by Robert Grimm.
### CHANGES
+ Leafnode now enables IPv6 support by default. Use --without-ipv6 to disable.
+ Leafnode now supports detecting if a peer is in a local network also
for IPv6 global addresses, providing that the host OS provides getifaddrs().
This comprises Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, but not, for instance, Solaris 10.
Reported missing by M. G. Berberich.
+ Leafnode is now always compiled in maintainer mode.
This has no impact on run-time behaviour.
+ Leafnode now assumes that handlers for signal() do not return a value.
### WORKAROUND
+ Skip arbitrary amounts of contiguous CR right before LF. Reported by John R.
Myers.
### DOCUMENTATION
+ Remove the long-obsoleted README.FIRST file.
+ The FAQ has information on how to copy the spool.
+ FAQ: The MAC OS X two-level namespace documentation for PCRE was removed,
PCRE is no longer part of the leafnode distribution.
+ FAQ: mention how to fix losing unsubscriptions of low-traffic groups in slrn
+ config.example: The expire documentation should now be clearer and closer to
the one in the leafnode(8) manual page. Along the lines discussed by Chris G
and Whiskers on the leafnode mailing list.

Version 1.11.7 is an update that fixes a few minor bugs and
incompatibilities that have appeared over time.
A binary RPM for Linux i486 with glibc 2.4 is provided. It also requires
packages providing libpcre.so.0 and xinetd.
For easier debugging (and only if backtraces are needed, such as when
leafnode/fetchnews stall or crash), there is now a -debuginfo RPM, too.
This version is or will become available in .tar.bz2 format from these sites:
o SourceForge -- Source .tar.bz2 and i486 Linux RPM
http://sourceforge.net/projects/leafnode/
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57767&release_id=677161&package_id=53446
rsync://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/l/le/leafnode/
o Mirror -- Source .tar.lzma, .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, upgrade patch, i486 Linux RPM
http://home.pages.de/~mandree/leafnode/
o IBiblio/MetaLab (will take some days to pick up) -- has FTP sites
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/MIRRORS.html
Check the system/news/transport directory
Not all sites carry all file types (.tar.bz2, .tar.gz, .rpm).
Below are file checksums and the NEWS file excerpt, with changes since
the previous release. The full ChangeLog ships with the tarballs and
can also be viewed at http://home.pages.de/~mandree/leafnode/ChangeLog.txt

### WORKAROUND
+ fetchnews: If the LN_SUPPRESS_DATE environment variable is defined and set
to any value or empty, fetchnews will not test the upstream server's time by
means of the "DATE" NNTP command.
This can be used to quench related log messages.
### BUGFIXES
+ Fix logging if texpire unlinks files without further hardlinks from
message.id/NNN/
+ Fix potential segfault on libcs that do not catch NULL for %s formatting
(several GNU libc versions do) when trying to retrieve delayed bodies from
corrupt article headers. Pretend success, to purge article number from
subscription file. Bug reported by Chris Carr.
+ Fix & change "noactive" so that it can be overridden by "fetchnews -f", as
documented in config.example.
Regression as side effect of 1.9.50 fix, reported by Jesse F. Hughes.
+ Fix logged IP address in "connected to..., reply:" message when compiled
without IPv6 support.
Fixes Mandriva Bug #45605, reported by David W. Hodgins.
+ Print connected to... to console as well at proper verbosity level, found
by maintainer while debugging aforementioned bug.
+ Only emit warning that no server with posting permission was found if that's
actually needed. Reported by Christian Weiske.
+ If corrupted articles had been detected, fetchnews -x NNN would not be able
to re-fetch the said article because a 0-sized file remained in message.id,
making fetchnews believe the article was in the spool.
0-sized message.id/NNN/ files are now purged when checking if the article is
already in the spool.
Reported by Peter Bauernfeind. (de.comm.software.newsserver post, May 2008)
+ Change interface enumeration to track incompatible NetBSD 5 changes. The
latter led to bogus connection refusals in NNTPD. SourceForge Bug #2700756,
by Aleksey Cheusov, fix suggested by Roy Marples.
+ Add support for SIOCGIFALIAS where available (BSD) in order to obtain
netmasks for 4.4BSD-style IP aliases.
getifaddrs() has been suggested as well, but it isn't available everywhere,
so we would have to keep the old code around anyways, and we can just fix
that rather than introduce alternative code branches.
### BUGFIXES BACKPORTED FROM LEAFNODE 2
+ lsort (used by make update) now detects and report errors.
+ "make update" handles the lockfile properly now: it records its PID and
removes the lock also in cases of failure.
+ "make update" restores the old groupinfo file if lsort fails.
+ "make update" now builds an up-to-date lsort first.
+ "make update" now uses the configured NEWS_USER and _GROUP.
+ "make update" is now a phony Makefile target, i. e. it will work even
if there is a file "update" in the build directory.
### CHANGES
+ When creating a Path: header (because the newsreader did not do that), use
"not-for-mail" instead of NEWS_USER (usually "news") as the user component.
This seems to resolve propagation issues with 2nd-hop-upstreams, as reported
in Debian Bug#459980 by Michael Weitzel, with Universität Siegen, Germany.
+ When writing to client fails, log decoded errno, too.
This can help debugging certain firewall misconfigurations more easily.
+ Undoing a wordwrap in configure.ac allows for bootstrapping on Cygwin.
+ Drop obsolete mysetvbuf().
+ leafnode-version now supports an additional "-v" mode to print more
information on the installation. The output then is similar, but not
identical - due to different feature sets - to the way leafnode-2 prints it.
### DOCUMENTATION
+ Add some comments to UNINSTALL-daemontools
+ Put README-FQDN* under leafnode's license. Found to be in conflict with
Debian's DFSG by Mark Brown.

Version 1.11.6 is an update that fixes a few minor bugs.
At the same time, it is the last planned leafnode-1.X release, there is
no more stuff on the 1.X TODO list, so future efforts should go into
leafnode-2, other projects permitting.
A binary RPM for Linux with glibc 2.2 and i486 or compatible processors
is provided. It also requires packages providing libpcre.so.0 and xinetd.
For easier debugging (and only if backtraces are needed, such as when
leafnode/fetchnews stall or crash), there is now a -debuginfo RPM, too.

### BUGFIXES
o Fix logging of invalid FQDH/FQDN.
o Do not trash delaybody download markers if the interesting.group/* files
are writeable by NEWS_USER ("news") but owned by somebody else. Found
debugging a problem described by David Aldred.
o Some syslog messages were still logged at LOG_DEBUG priority without
debugmode set.
o Support noactive = 0. Reported by Rafal Maj, Debian Bug #329760.
o Support nodesc = 0.
o Keep non-expiring groups (negative groupexpire date) in active file even if
they have expired upstream. Sourceforge Bug #1230256, Thomas Zajic.
o INSTALL: leafnode needs a "news" group as well. Found by Julien Sansonnens.
o Allow unterminated lines in regular files. Found by Ivo Maintz.
o Applyfilter unfolds headers before matching, to match fetchnews behavior.
o Applyfilter no longer unconditionally removes messages without body
if delaybody is off. The interesting.groups/group.name file might still
have pointers so that fetchnews will download the bodies later.
### CHANGES
o "killed nnn (<me...@ge...>), already fetched before" messages have been
demoted to debug priority, to avoid syslog spamming with multiple upstream
servers or after crashes. Reported by Adam Funk.
o The RPM is now accompanied by a -debuginfo package.
o Build "grouplist" program in "make check".
o The fetchnews manual pages states that -f is not to be used in cron jobs.
o The filtering documentation (applyfilter(8) man page and filters.example)
was overhauled, at the suggestion of Michael R. McCarrey.
Mike also courteously provided additional filter examples with documentation.
### WEBSITE
o http://www.leafnode.org/ is now served by SourceForge's VHOST service and
thus serves the same content as http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/

### BUGFIXES
o Skip server processing when posting articles fails, for instance,
because of a protocol error or server disconnect/timeout.
Bug found when analyzing Debian #318644.
o Do not mark the active for refetch when the failed server has "noread" set
or fetchnews is in -P (post only) mode. Patch by Brian Sammon.
### COMPATIBILITY CHANGE
o GNU coreutils 5.92 are broken and can no longer create a missing directory
with "mkdir -p missing/." Work around the bug. Reported by Michael Shigorin.
### DOCUMENTATION
o Switch FAQ.pdf formatting back to XSL stylesheets and RenderX XEP 4.4,
now that a personal license for OpenSource documentation is available.
o Renamed all CAN-YYYY-NNNN to CVE-YYYY-NNNN in leafnode-SA-*.txt, ChangeLog,
NEWS and OLDNEWS to chase the CVE database change of 2005-10-19.

I will be maintaining Leafnode for Fedora Extras (whenever Redhat gets
around to sending me the CLA to sign). Meanwhile, I am maintaining a
current RPM on our site which was compiled on FC4 and should be fine on
FC3 and FC4.
I'll take this opportunity to thank Matthias for the excellent work.
Leafnode solves a host of problems.

Corrected: 2005-06-08 14:06 UTC (CVS) - committed corrected version 2005-06-08 leafnode 1.11.3 released 0. Release history 2005-06-08 1.00 initial announcement 1. Background leafnode is a store-and-forward proxy for Usenet news, is uses the network news transfer protocol (NNTP). It consists of several collaborating programs, the server part is usually started by inetd, xinetd or tcpserver, the client part is usually started by cron, a PPP post-connect script or manually. This security announcement pertains to leafnode-1, the stable branch. The leafnode-2 development branch is not subject to security announcements. 2. Problem description A vulnerability was found in the fetchnews program (the NNTP client) that may under some circumstances cause a wait for input that never arrives, fetchnews "hangs". This hang does not cost CPU. 3. Impact As only one fetchnews program can run at a time, subsequently started fetchnews and texpire programs will terminate. This means that the news database will no longer be updated, older articles will no longer expire, until the hanging fetchnews process gets unstuck, usually through a manual "kill" command or a reboot. 4. Workaround Comment out all configuration pertaining to the malicious server. Note that this is not a full solution as transient network errors can also cause delays in querying other network servers, and it requires manual intervention to find out which server is malicious. 5. Solution Upgrade your leafnode package to version 1.11.3. leafnode 1.11.3 is available from SourceForge: <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57767> Leafnode 1.X versions are deemed stable, and it is usually best to go for the latest released 1.X version to have all the other bug fixes as well.

### SECURITY BUGFIXES
o Fetchnews did not detect timeouts while it was downloading an article
header, which malicious upstream servers could exploit to mount a denial of
service attack against the fetchnews client. See leafnode-SA-2005-02.txt.
CVE Name: CAN-2005-1911
### BUGFIXES
o Bugfix sed expression in makesubst script. (Reported by Jeff Zacharias.)
### CHANGES
o texpire now tags the message.id expired count with "message.id" rather than
"total:" to avoid misleading the user who assumes that "total:" would have
to be the sum of the group counts. See also the FAQ change below.
SourceForge bug #1215453.
o When debugmode and verbose mode are set, leafnode programs now print a
warning to stdout that the user should check syslog.conf and the syslog
output rather than the screen print for debugging and sleeps for three
seconds.
### DOCUMENTATION
o Add FAQ entry to explain discrepancies between texpire group counts and
message.id expired articles counts.
o Add FAQ entry to explain influence of Gnus' gnus-read-active-file setting
on lost subscriptions, and extend stop fetchnews from unsubscribing FAQ.
Debian bug #307685.
o Drop FAQ entry on license issues as some parts of leafnode are in fact GPLd.
o Drop FAQ entry on why old articles aren't posted, obsolete since 1.9.33.
o INSTALL and INSTALL_de have been polished.
o Add a hint that syslog.conf must be edited to config.example.
o leafnode(8) mentions that LIST ACTIVE keeps an existing subscription fresh.

### SECURITY BUGFIXES
NOTE: at the time this section was written, the CVE number was not yet known.
The ID will be posted to http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/security.shtml and
has been requested from the FreeBSD security team as a CVE CNA.
o Fix fetchnews segfault when connection to server dies while fetchnews is
reading an article body (use-after-free bug). Regression introduced into
leafnode v1.9.52. Denial of service possible, see leafnode-SA-2005-01.txt.
o Fix fetchnews segfault when connection to server dies while fetchnews is
reading an article header. Regression in security fix of leafnode v1.9.48.
Denial of service possible, see leafnode-SA-2005-01.txt
### BUGFIXES
o fetchnews will no longer re-fetch the active file for a server if it has been
completely received even if fetching articles from this server encounters a
problem. Long-standing bug. Debian bug #70052.
o fetchnews will now properly mark the active for complete re-fetch if it says
so. Previously, it forgot the mark in some circumstances.
o A problem fetching the active file or descriptions for a newly added server
will now mark the active for re-fetch even if articles have successfully
been retrieved from the same server.
### DOCUMENTATION
o Repair two lines in the German leafnode(8) manual page that became invisible
as they ran together with a .PP macro.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 leafnode-SA-2005:01.fetchnews-crashes-on-timeout Topic: potential denial of service in leafnode Announcement: leafnode-SA-2005:01 Writer: Matthias Andree Version: 1.00 Announced: 2005-05-04 Category: main Type: potential denial of service Impact: fetchnews crashes, some servers not queried Danger: low - malicious upstream server can easily be unlisted CVE Name: requested from FreeBSD CNA, for updates, please see <http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/security.shtml> Affects: leafnode versions 1.9.48 to 1.11.1 inclusively Not affected: leafnode 1.11.2 Default install: affected. Corrected: 2005-05-04 10:09 UTC (CVS) - committed corrected version 2005-05-04 leafnode 1.11.2 released 0. Release history 2005-05-04 1.00 initial announcement 1. Background leafnode is a store-and-forward proxy for Usenet news, is uses the network news transfer protocol (NNTP). It consists of several collaborating programs, the server part is usually started by inetd, xinetd or tcpserver, the client part is usually started by cron or manually. This security announcement pertains to leafnode-1, the stable branch. The leafnode-2 development branch has not yet seen a stable release, so it is not subject to security announcements. 2. Problem description Two vulnerabilities were found in the fetchnews program (the NNTP client). These can cause the fetchnews program to crash when the upstream server closes the connection while leafnode is receiving (1) an article header, or (2) an article body. 3. Impact A malicious upstream server that purposefully drops the connection after fetchnews has requested an article header or body can prevent fetchnews =66rom ever querying other servers that are listed after the malicious server in the configuration file. 4. Workaround Comment out all configuration pertaining to the malicious server. Note that this is not a full solution as transient network errors can also cause delays in querying other network servers, and it requires manual intervention to find out which server is malicious. 5. Solution Upgrade your leafnode package to version 1.11.2. leafnode 1.11.2 is available from SourceForge: <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3D57767> Leafnode 1.X versions are deemed stable, and it is usually best to go for the latest released 1.X version to have all the other bug fixes as well.

Leafnode 1.11.0.rel contains two bugfixes that may in some cases require
changes to existing setups, which prompted a bump of the minor version:
1. fetchnews now supports IPv6. leafnode has already supported IPv6 before.
leafnode was sometimes filed into categories of IPv6-aware software,
although only the NNTP server was IPv6 aware, but not the "fetchnews"
NNTP client program. This has regularly caused irritations. This
update makes the fetchnews client IPv6 aware.
2. The configuration file parser now supports quoted strings on the
right hand side of configuration lines. This changes lines that
contain the QUOTATION MARK character (" = ASCII 34 = 0x22 = 042,
"neutral double quote") must be changed. Example: password=sec"ret
now becomes: password="sec\"ret"
This change also enables the NUMBER SIGN (crosshatch, hash mark,
octothorpe, however you call it, # = ASCII 35 = 0x23 = 043) to be
used in passwords, if the passwort is enclosed in quotation marks,
Example: password="sec#ret"

### INCOMPATIBLE BUGFIXES
+ fetchnews now supports IPv6 (this causes the version bump to 1.11)
+ the configuration parser now supports quoted strings on the right-hand
side, so that "#" can be used in passwords. See the section
CONFIGURATION in leafnode(8) for details.
### BUGFIX
+ Fix snprintf test that caused leafnode to always use the local
snprintf rather than the system's. Bug found by Bruno Rohee.
Regression in leafnode-1.10.7, though with no user-visible effect.

leafnode 1.10.7.rel has been released.
----------------------------------------
http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/
Leafnode 1.10.7.rel contains a minor portability fix to systems that
have an snprintf function that is unsuitable for leafnode and could
cause an abort. The "GROUP.NAME not found in groupinfo file" message
will now only appear at verbose levels 2 and higher.
You can skip this update if your previous leafnode version compiled for
you and you aren't annoyed by the message mentioned above.

### BUGFIX
+ The shipped snprintf function didn't report the proper size for
literals. It now does. Report by Michael B=C3=A4uerle.
+ Pull snprintf/vsnprintf replacements from the libc's name space,
prefixing them with ln_ on linker level. This avoids our overriding
libc's snprintf/vsnprintf which may cause bogus aborts when other
parts of the libc (syslog for instance) use formatting characters that
our minimal vsnprintf implementation does not support.
Fixes an abort reported by Michael B=C3=A4uerle on a system that had
a non-working snprintf function.
### CHANGE
+ The "GROUP.NAME not found in groupinfo file" message will now only
appear at verbose levels 2 and higher, to avoid uninteresting output
when a group has just been deleted but is still in interesting.groups.
Reported by Berthold H=C3=B6llmann.
### INTERNAL
+ The use of the shipped snprintf function for testing purposes can now
be forced by running: env FORCE_SHIPPED_SNPRINTF=3Dyes ./configure --op=

installed leafnode version is 1.10.4 at the same time.

leafnode 1.10.4.rel has been released.
----------------------------------------
http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/
Leafnode 1.10.4.rel fixes a critical texpire issue that was introduced
in leafnode 1.9.54: texpire can lose articles from message.id when
another leafnode process is started while texpire is running. Symptoms
are truckloads full of "relink" messages at texpire time, figures of
message.id expiry "articles deleted" not matching the count of articles
deleted in groups and duplicate articles in newsgroups. These have been
reported by Rein Klazes who found the exact location of the bug and Rick
Pasotto.

is provided. It also requires a package providing libpcre.so.0 and xinetd.

### CRITICAL BUGFIX
- - Only texpire will now delete the message.id/XXX/mids files and only after it
has the lock, to prevent premature (but reversible) expiry of message.id
files followed by gazillions of relinks at the next texpire run.
Bug located and fix tested by Rein Klazes, thanks a lot.
### CHANGES
- - Make debug mode logging of texpire a bit more verbose, log the reason why a
message.id file was unlinked.
- - Minor internal cleanups to make the code a bit more efficient, reduced
memory use in texpire a bit.

leafnode 1.10.3.rel has been released.
----------------------------------------
http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/
Leafnode 1.10.3.rel fixes two LIST ACTIVE issues, one is that LIST
ACTIVE with a single group name (not a pattern) didn't refresh
subscriptions, the other is that LIST ACTIVE didn't offer the pseudo
article. These fixes improve compatibility with the venerable pre-KDE
"knews" news reader.

### BUGFIX
- - LIST and LIST ACTIVE reported "empty group" for pseudo groups, rather than
a group with one article. Reported by Brian Sammon.
### COMPATIBILITY
- - Also refresh newsgroup subscription if the newsreader uses LIST ACTIVE
news.group (when news.group is not a pattern). Suggested by Brian Sammon.
