Leafnode 1.9.41 has been released. It fixes the "leafnode keeps

(defaults to off) to work around madness of certain news readers.

mailing list or you can watch file releases at sourceforge below, if you
want to be notified when new leafnode releases become available.

* 1.9.41, 2003-05-22

### BUGFIXES
o Fix the "leafnode keeps fetching a group I've unsubscribed from long ag=
o"
  bug that haunted leafnode since 1.9.18 at the latest and that was more
  prominent with the delaybody migration fixes of 1.9.33.
o "make clean" no longer erases t.pcre_extract

### CHANGES
o Add an EXPERIMENTAL feature, delaybody_in_situ. This may work around
  problems with particular newsreaders in delaybody mode. Do not rely on =
this
  feature for now, and do send feedback if you use it, regardless of whet=
her
  it works or not. Defaults to off (compatible with previous versions). I=
f you
  don't know what it is about, leave it off.
o Some messages in fetchnews have been reworded to make them clearer and =
more
  helpful.

### PORTABIILTY
o Find tcpd on OpenBSD at build time. Patch by Bruno Rohee.
