- Update to version 2.6.5:
* A new step in INN development has been achieved with the migration of
the INN project to GitHub.
* An up-to-date nocem.ctl file is provided with this release. You
should manually update your nocem.ctl file with the new information
recorded about NoCeM issuers, and make sure the right PGP keys are
present on your system.
* Up-to-date control.ctl and moderators files are provided with this
release. You should manually update them (notably for the fido7.*
hierarchy).
* Added a stricter validation of article numbers given in NNTP commands
so that numbers superior to 2^31 are correctly considered invalid.
Thanks to Richard Kettlewell for the patch.
* Added a check in rc.news for the existence of the *pathrun* directory.
INN won't start until this directory is writable. Previously, it
bailed out quickly after starting, without clear logs about why it
failed.
* Fixed parallel builds using "make -j". Thanks to Richard Kettlewell
for the path.
* nnrpd now properly gathers timer statistics when a compression layer
is active.
* nnrpd now properly discards data received from a news client after a
timeout when a TLS layer is active. It previously tried to read
incoming data before closing the socket, leading to decoding errors
from an underlying compression or SASL layer.
* innfeed and ovdb_stat now generate status reports in valid HTML
syntax.
* Fixed a bug in the buffindexed overview that prevented it from working
on several systems, amongst them FreeBSD. Unsupported, and useless,
permission bits were given to semaphores.
