This release fixed a large number of minor bugs.
Auto-fetching of articles with high scores in "true
offline" mode was implemented along with symbolic
names for function keys in the config file.
This release offers "true offline reading" when
using slrn with slrnpull. Minor new features
include support for IPv6, server-recommended
Message-IDs, cancel locks, GNU TLS, and new
intrinsic functions. A number of bugs (including a
possibly remote-exploitable buffer overflow) have
been fixed, and new translations were added. The
reference manual has been restructured and the FAQ
was rewritten.
This release contains lots of minor bugfixes
(including some rare segfaults) and improvements,
a new sorting implementation (allowing powerful
custom sorting), new translations (es, fr, ko),
and a few new intrinsic functions.
This release has full gettext and automake support (Unix only), a function that shows which scorefile entries matched an article, an autosave feature for newsrc files, and a few new intrinsic functions, as well as many minor improvements. It also fixes some bugs and one security hole.
