0.3.8 Tue Aug 10 15:15:34 EEST 2004
SNHELLO: CR chars had accidentally become LFs, fixed.
sndumpdb: Print decimal numbers instead of x/100 fractions.
Made the header field name check more lenient in order to avoid unnecessary warnings.
snmail: Convert In-Reply-To: to References: only if the message has no References:.
snmail: Use last <> enclosed string in In-Reply-To: as the message-id.
snmail: removed Message-ID checking and generation - this is handled by snstore.
Replaced Message-ID checking with looser implementation based on RFC 2822.
--
0.3.7 Mon Apr 26 01:11:42 EEST 2004
Added contrib directory for contributed tools/examples, and populated it
  with 2 authentication implementations + an auto subscribe script.
Code changes to improve readability: use booleans instead of integers where
  appropriate, and NULL instead of 0 for pointers.
Renamed log() -> log_() to avoid annoying warning in gcc 3.3.
Fixed Segfault on PPC Linux systems. (Thanks to Chris Niekel)
Renamed lockf to snlockf, POST to SNPOST and HELLO to SNHELLO in order to
  prevent conflicts with executables from other packages.
--
0.3.6 Thu Jan 16 18:07:03 EET 2003
Fixed XOVER for the case where a header is present but empty.
Reorganized the Makefile a bit to make it simpler: added PREFIX variable.
snsend: Fixed rnews batch reading for zero-length articles.
--
0.3.5 Sat Jul  6 18:37:50 EEST 2002
Added an FAQ, containg the solution to the infamous POST problem.
NEWGROUPS and NEWNEWS now works properly during DST. (Was offset one hour.)
Made "sncat -i foo" work for users with read-only access to the spool.
Expiration ages can now be specified in years, e.g. "2y" = 2 years.
Made snexpire use a month of 30.415 days instead of 28.
  With the old code, "12m" actually meant about 11 months.
Fixed snget's -m option for the case where .serial can't be read.
Made the XHDR command work for Xref headers.
Removed the ugly "Terminated" messages from HELLO when using bash 2.
--
0.3.4a Tue Nov 13 00:17:20 EET 2001
Made HELLO work with bash version 2.
Fixed a bug in request-newgroups.
--
0.3.4 Sun Nov 11 19:08:55 EET 2001
Reformatted the source with GNU indent to make it easier to read (for me).
Made the request-list and request-newgroups features work again.
snstore fixes: don't exit if =junk doesn't exist,
  and strip trailing spaces from newsgroup names
"dup/present" were printed the wrong way around in snfetch.
Bug in Message-ID checking disallowed <foo@[IP-number]>.
Made the "Can't write in spool" error a bit more informative.
snget's -m option didn't work.
Improved portability. (The biggest change was to replace all calls to
  flock() with lockf().) sn should now work on most UNIXish systems,
  as long as the GNU tools (gmake, gcc, bash, etc.) are installed.
--
0.3.3 Thu Nov 23 17:50:12 EET 2000
Fixed a bug related to article ranges outside of the available articles.
Added new Makefile variable: DEFAULT_ADMIN_EMAIL

Empty article kludge^H^H^H^H^H^Hfix
HELLO auth kludge
post.c truncates lines from POST, fixed
PATH made to include BINDIR in snntpd.c
Log levels tweaked in snfetch, was too noisy

INSTALL.notes error, missing snprimedb -i command for reconstructing
database.
Another race in snstore, when creating a new article file.
snexpire now checks to make sure id being deleted is the right one.
snfetch now checks for duplicate ID's within the same session.
snsend new program supercedes snstore.
