Archive-Name: inews-xt
Submitted-By: Olaf Titz <olaf@inka.de>
Environment: cnews, perl, unix

This is a complete rewrite in perl of the "inews" script supplied with
older versions of C News (as of Summer 1993, or C News XT 1.3, but can
be used with new versions as well). It is much faster, does MIME
encoding and header syntax checks. The script is self-contained, it
doesn't need the auxiliary stuff in bin/inject. Some options have to
be set at the top of the script before running.

Changes since last published versions:

* 2.7 1996/12/22
- Silently discard empty articles if -E flag is given.
  This fits into batch/viainews.
- Now allows more than one header with the same name.
- Disallows override of NNTP-Posting-* set by nntpd.
- Yet another Q-P encoding bug removed, faster.
- Reject excess cross postings.

* 2.6 1996/05/06
- Fixed timezone encoding bug that missed DST.

* 2.5 1996/04/02
- Much faster due to improved input handling.
- Bugs fixed: server usage shell quoting, relaynews parameters.
- May run setuid now.
- Minor cleanups, more items configurable.

* 2.3 1996/01/20
- Split long header lines where applicable.
- Bugs in RFC1522 encoding fixed.
- Now generates date header in local timezone.

* 2.2 1995/12/06
- More rigid handling of whitespace in headers.
- Minor cleanups: dead.article handling, encodings and mailpaths parsing.

* 2.1 1995/11/10
- Added the "encodings" file.

* 1.8 1995/10/03
- Added rigid header syntax checking.
  "From: user@PROBLEM..." and "From: <Mozilla>" is right out.
  Invalid date in Expires line, ditto.
- Don't RFC1522ize headers that don't deserve it. Flag error instead.
- Added "trusted" users who may supply own From and Sender lines.
- Added Message-ID algorithm from Cleanup Release.
- Added -S option (suppress .signature).
- Various code cleanups.
- Better support for new C News versions.

* 1.5 1995/06/23
- First release.
