-
- Changes from 0.9.1:
- o The trn code through version 3.4.1 is included, which fixes many bugs
- and includes a couple new features.
- * A few crash bugs were fixed.
- * When an NNTP connection times out, strn will now attempt to restore
- the connection.
- o Group scan and virtual newsgroup files may be shared via the
- World Wide Web using Uniform Resource Locators (URLs).
- (At this time only the HTTP subset of URLs are supported, but FTP
- support is planned.)
- See the group scan and virtual scan online documentation for details
- and a sample site.
- o Group scan files can contain labels, allowing multiple menus within
- a single file. See the group scan documentation.
- o A new file "hier_groups" is included in the distribution, containing
- a set of menus covering most of USENET in a beginner-friendly way.
- o Scoring is much less verbose by default. Use the online configuration
- (the scoring section) if you want more information.
- o The RUNBACK #define has been removed--the background scoring
- code is always compiled now.
- o Minor documentation changes have been made, including the JOB file.
- (I'm still looking, although I have a temporary non-computer job.)
- o The following files in the strn library directory are now
- updated automatically when install.strn or install.full is run:
- newsnews.strn (old copy in strnnews.old)
- default_topic (old copy in default.old)
- hier_groups (old copy in hier.old)
- See the "Installation" help files for details.
