X-Newsreader: Arn V1.00

Hi!

Arn V1.00 (USENET/UUCP newsreader) is available.
I put it into a.s.a.u.p. Enjoy, merry X-mas and a happy new year!
My site is offline until 6.1.93, so please have patience with replies.

An announce should appear in comp.sys.amiga.announce where to get it via
FTP and anon-uucp.


                           RELEASE-HISTORY and CHANGES
                           ---------------------------

+ means new feature, - means changes, bug-fixes.

Version:                   Bugs,Bug-Fixes,Enhancements:

Arn V1.00      + Arn now shows all threads chronologically
               - bug fixed in kill-subject from pager
               - select new doesn't select read articles
               - % (unselect all) in article-selection implemented.
               + Correct handling of empty newsgroups.
               - Bug fixed in pager (occured if displayed more than 64
                 pages).
               + Pager now can jump to bottom of the file.
               + optimized screen refresh at group- and article-selection
               + search functions in group- and article level work now.
               + AUX: support via termcap
               + 'k' junk thread in pager
               + configurable font
               - CTRL-Z recalls command-line instead of ESC
               + CTRL-L refreshs screen in all levels
               + new method of managing (adding/removing) newsgroups
               - deletion of articles no longer possible
               +}New design of key mappings. No longer Ctrl-keys, instead
               -}submenus are used. I hope they are now more orthogonal
                 (consistent) than the old ones.
               - article is closed before invoking the external program.
               + Complete rewrite of the manual.
               - fixed some bugs in selectors.
               + "moderators"-file support.
               - fixed bug in catchup from groupmenu-level.
               - some variable-types converted from long to ULONG.
               - fixed bug in ArnMaster (non existing dirs caused early abort).
               - removed Relay-Version and Posting-Version header lines
                 which were not required by RFC-1036, but by a draft version of it.
               + additional check for "FollowUp-To: poster" and non existing groups.
               - compiling under SAS/C 6.01.
               + using upto 78 screen lines within selection screens
               + longer subjects at article selector (depends on screen size)
               - fixed article-menu refresh (there was no bug).
               + limited MIME-support (qp and base64-decoding for text/plain).
               - Rescan for active-file only from group-level possible.
               + n,N flags in range-flags added
               + using local,environment variables for USERNAME etc.

Regards,
 Roland
