news/flnews,
Fast and lightweight USENET newsreader with GUI
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 0.18,
Package name: flnews-0.18,
Maintainer: michaflnews is a client with graphical user interface to read USENET newsgroups.
It is intended for POSIX compliant operating systems running the X window
system.
The main development goals are (in order of importance):
- No bloat
- Support for old workstations
- Standard compliance
- Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others
- Compatibility with other newsreaders
- Usable X display redirection via network (or ssh tunnel)
- Warn users about things that are not forbidden but considered "bad practice"
Features that are currently not implemented (or not usable yet):
- UUCP
- Multiple servers
- Offline mode (for network connection via dialup line)

Log message:
news/flnews: Update to 0.18
- Searching for Unicode string in current article is now supported (case
insensitive variant based on Unicode case folding algorithm)
- Unicode database updated to version 13.0.0 (CaseFolding.txt added)
- The new 'force_unicode' entry in configfile set to a nonzero value sends
all outgoing articles in Unicode, if they contain non-ASCII characters
- Dark background color is now usable
- MIME conformance reached (as defined in RFC 2049 Section 2)
- If selected text is present, quote only selected text for followup
- XDG desktop entry and icon theme added (option CFG_XDG_DISABLE)
- Configuration window in GUI now allows to disable the "User-Agent" header
field for outgoing articles
- It is now possible to enable AUTHINFO USER/PASS without encrypted connection
(option CFG_NNTP_AUTH_UNENCRYPTED)
This allows to use stunnel instead of the internal TLS module
- TLS module no longer calls deprecated functions HMAC*(), RSA_size() and
SSL_get_peer_certificate() for OpenSSL API 3.0.0

Changelog
=========
0.17 Bugfix: Configuration test result for inttypes.h presence is used,
reintroduce the test removed for 0.16
Bugfix: BSD version of ntohl() for old systems was broken
Bugfix: ISO-2022-JP decoder: Mask for unassigned codepoints fixed
Bugfix: SHA2 support in OpenSSL 1.0.0 must be explicitly enabled
Display article from "news" type URI in separate window (if \
it's not
found in current group)
Clickable References added (articles displayed in separate window)
Search for Message-ID added to the Tools menu (Keyboard shortcut
is Ctrl-s)
Previous read article (in current group) menu entry added
Keyboard shortcut for "Quit" changed from Ctrl-x to Ctrl-q \
(Proposed
by Marcel Logen)
Keyboard shortcut for "View source" changed from Ctrl-v to \
Ctrl-e
(Proposed by Marcel Logen)
Menu entry "Article->Mark as unread" (Ctrl-u) changed to \
toggle
between read and unread state (Proposed by Marcel Logen)
Command line option "-4" added (force usage of IPv4 network \
protocol)
Flowed format: The 'flowed_insert_crlf' entry in configfile adds an
empty line separator after every paragraph that ends with an empty
line. Defaults to 0 (former behaviour)
Flowed format: The behaviour of 'flowed_insert_crlf' can be requested
by the sender of an article with "InsLine=yes" in the \
Content-Type
headerfield.
TLS module can now use OpenSSL 3 API (required for FFDHE group
negotiation with TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 protocols)
TLS module can now use LibreSSL 3 (formerly major version 2 was used
to identify LibreSSL and distinguish it from OpenSSL)
TLS modules compile time option 'CFG_USE_TLS_OWNCERTS' replaced by
the new 'tls_owncerts' entry in configfile
TLS modules experimental compile time option 'CFG_USE_TLS_CRLS'
replaced by normal option 'CFG_TLS_CRLS_DISABLE'. Default is to use
no CRLs (former behaviour) because this option increases the system
requirements (to POSIX.1-2001 or XSI extension)
TLS module now supports new 'crl_check' entry in configfile (ignored
if CFG_TLS_CRLS_DISABLE is nonzero)
TLS module now prints real LibreSSL version instead of generic 2.0.0
TLS module no longer supports options 'CFG_USE_TLS_DHPARAM_CHECK' and
'CFG_USE_TLS_SETSIGALG'. They were obsoleted by the OpenSSL 1.1 API
Unicode database updated to version 12.1.0
GUI module no longer supports experimental FLTK 1.3 option
'USE_X11_GLYPH_SUBSTITUTION'. It was obsoleted by FLTK 1.4
Modified LaTeX documentation to work with recent doxygen
