                 leafnode 1.10.6.rel has been released.

Leafnode 1.10.6.rel fixes a bug in noactive mode that causes fetchnews
to re-download of all active files when there is an error fetching from
the server that was configured "noactive".

You can skip this update if you are not using a "noactive" server option.
