WebNews / News: Recent posts

This release includes a few small speed optimizations, and a clarification to the instructions on the subscriptions page.

Andreas Karrer contributed a large number of patches for this release, which implement support for CSS, previous/next article buttons, colorized quoting, and several bug fixes. Taken together, his changes make for a faster and much better-looking WebNews -- you should definitely check it out!

This is mostly a minor bug fix release, but it also makes installing into a separate "cgi-bin" directory slightly easier.

Tomas Christian Jensen has sent me a new version of the Danish translation for WebNews. You can download the new translation patch from our website, or from our SourceForge file download area. Thanks, Tomas!

New configuration variable "MAINTAINER" so you don't need to edit
webnews.cgi to change the e-mail address that appears at the bottom
of each page.
You can also get a Danish localization with this release
(webnews-dk). See:
http://webnews.sourceforge.net/contrib.shtml

Several incremental performance improvements have been made, and a couple of important race-condition bugs have been fixed. For more info:

I'm interested in the thoughts of our vast non-user community. If you are the sort of person who fills out surveys and runs a web site, take a moment to fill out our survey:

The information has been added to the documentation. View it at

I am interested in hearing other people's experiences, too.

All existing releases of WebNews have been uploaded to SourceForge.

Web News is primary a test project on sourceforge
and will try to implement a simple to use pack of
perl modules/scripts to have a news part on your homepage.
