User-visible WebNews changes. Updated: $Date: 2001/11/20 10:42:33 $

Since 1.2.1:

Make browser rendering of UI elements slightly cleaner, by hardcoding
the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes of IMG tags. The ideal solution would
be to use a Perl png library to read the widths and heights from the
files on disk.

Fixed a perl -w warning.

Probably fixed bug involving race conditions between different WebNews
processes which want to modify the same .newsrc or the active file
at the same time. As a result, WebNews is only guaranteed to work if Perl's
"flock" is available.

Speed improvements:
	Only open newsrc when it is needed; only save it when it is modified.
	Only open connection to the news server when it is needed.
	Only load the active file when changing subscriptions.

Fixed some little bugs involving the interaction between the posting form,
its Submit button, and the Return to Article button.

Add support for skipping the loading-in of the newsrc, the starting-up of
the NNTP connection, and the loading-in of the active file, in many cases.

WebNews now makes sure to send the "MODE READER" command for news servers
that require it.

Correct plurals in article counts in the group index: If there is only
one article, it now says "1 article", not "1 articles."

Since 1.2:

Fixed bug involving NNTP XOVER commands which were too long.

Since 1.1:

You can now toggle the visibility of already-read articles from
either the article index screen or the group index screen; this
preference will remain in effect until you exit WebNews.

Spacing in some messages and around some buttons has been tidied up.

Since 1.0.2:

Now, you can sort by article number, from, subject, date (default is
number) when browsing the article index. There are buttons at top of
the article index to select whichever option you like.

From addresses have quotes stripped and dates are standardized to GMT
in the article index.

Carbon-copy by e-mail (the Cc: field of the article posting screen)
has been implemented. In order to make this work, you need to edit your
webnews.conf and set $MAILHOST to the name of the machine that accepts
mail for your WebNews server.

Sometimes \r's would appear in posted messages; these are now stripped
before posting.

Since 1.0.1:

The article-posting function can do your word wrapping for you.
The catch-up function is done.

Since 1.0:

Conf file introduced.

Various other changes lost to the sands of time; 1.0 was not widely
released.
