Version 1.11.4 is an update that fixes two minor bugs in fetchnews.


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.

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=373192
   rsync://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/l/le/leafnode/

o Dortmund University -- Source .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

Have fun,

### 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.
