slrn (0.9.9~pre122-1) unstable; urgency=low GNU TLS support is back. Since this version you can use encrypted connections. -- Jörg Sommer Fri, 25 Jul 2008 12:21:50 +0200 slrn (0.9.9~pre102-3) unstable; urgency=low I've found a way to make slrn and slrnpull read /etc/news/server. So, this file is since this version supported. -- Jörg Sommer Tue, 13 May 2008 16:18:39 +0200 slrn (0.9.9~pre77-1) experimental; urgency=low John E. Davis, the inventor of slrn, has taken over upstream development again. He has stripped down the source to bring UTF-8 integration forward. In this version, UTF-8 should be fully supported. Unfortunately he has removed support for GNU TLS. As Debian does not have permission to link slrn against SSL, this package does not provide any support for encryption. Stay tuned: this may well come back soon. He has also temporarily dropped support for slrnpull. I've built the package but you should expect everything to be broken. The support of /etc/news/server was dropped, too. This will be fixed in the future, but until then you must use the option -h or set the environment variable NNTPSERVER, i.e. create an alias in your shell: alias slrn='NNTPSERVER="$(cat /etc/news/server)" slrn' -- Jörg Sommer Sun, 6 Apr 2008 17:05:17 +0200
