2.6.1_vs_2.6.2.

1 Items which are showstoppers for the next major release are marked with '!' 2 in front of them (feel free to up/downgrade and/or add or fix bugs, this 3 file is not read only ,-). 4 5 Bugs 6 ---- 7 o replying via email to an article with 8 From: =?us-ascii?q?<a@example.com>,?= <b@example.org> 9 will result in 10 To: <a@example.com>, <b@example.org> 11 [20141230 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 12 13 o get_respcode() doesn't handle the 401 response code. as we have to 14 evaluate the response text as well we have to fix every 15 nntp_command(..., NULL, 0) call. 16 [20100429 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 17 18 o col_response is a misnomer as the counter doesn't count responses 19 anymore (except on the very first article). The man-page is outdated too. 20 [20080826 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 21 22 o unexpected multiline responses confuse tin, e.g.: 23 | 240 Article posted =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=3C=3D=3Fiso=2D8859=2D1=3Fq=3F=3F=3D87r7k8na?= 24 | =?ISO-8859-1?Q?vt=2Efsf=40urs=2Did=2Etest=2Eka=2Enu=3E?= 25 (the servers response should be a single line (INN 2.2)) 26 [20050207 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 27 28 o better integrate saving of MIME/non-MIME articles when not using libuu. 29 MIME sections are saved by the 's'ave operations, uuencoded sections 30 are saved as part of the postprocess backend 31 [mostly done] 32 [Jason Faultless <jason@altarstone.com>] 33 34 o batch mode has several bugs 35 - -Z and giving a cmd-line group the cmd-line group is not displayed in 36 the statistics nor taken into account for the 'any unread news' status. 37 - -vc could be more verbose (like -vcZ is) 38 - -o currently is not a 'batch_mode' option 39 - -u could be faster if not building threads etc. pp. 40 (build_references(), filter_articles(), make_threads()) 41 [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 42 43 o add version number to other config-files (e.g. tin.defaults) 44 and do the same checks as for TINRC_VERSION/tinrc. for the 45 tinrc, filter and attributes file store the charset the file is written 46 in (e.g. ISO-8859-x vs. unicode) and for the filter file the filter method 47 used (wildmat or regexp (or TRE)) 48 [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 49 50 o overview file caching code is over-complex 51 - cache the original overview info instead of rebuilding it from 52 the processed (decoded etc.) data, no matter if it's broken (e.g. 53 contains raw 8 bit data) as we have to deal with that anyway. if there 54 are no original overviews, cache the original data from the postings 55 headers (after unfolding and tab removal). 56 - Add docs to explain how to create system-wide overviews 57 58 o iso2asc conversion is missing for 'internal' strings (e.g. 'M'enu) 59 [20020319 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 60 61 o comments in attributes get lost (we need to do something like we do for 62 the filter file) 63 [20080425 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 64 65 o if falling back to HEAD/NEXT ([X]OVER not working) tinrc.getart_limit 66 isn't honored 67 [20090112 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 68 69 o the keys GroupToggleSubjDisplay / GROUP_TOGGLE_SUBJECT_DISPLAY and 70 ThreadToggleSubjDisplay / THREAD_TOGGLE_SUBJECT_DISPLAY are misnamed, 71 as they toggle the display of the sender address, not the subject. 72 [20130839 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 73 74 o the key ToggleHelpDisplay / GLOBAL_TOGGLE_HELP_DISPLAY is misnamed 75 (like txt_help_global_toggle_mini_help, but at least text now is 76 updated) wrong as it toggles tinrc.beginner_level which also controls 77 displaying the posting etiquette 78 [20210106 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 79 80 o there is a memleak in read_cmd_line_options(envargs()) if $TINRC is set 81 82 Pager Problems 83 -------------- 84 85 Posting Problems 86 ---------------- 87 o 8bit chars in some headers are RFC-2047-encoded where this is not allowed 88 according to usefor (Newsgrous, Distribution, ...) - do_rfc15211522_encode() 89 simply encodes all headers no matter if any of them must not be encoded 90 (see parse_rfc822_headers()). 91 [20090112 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 92 93 o remove Message-IDs with 8bit chars in them when they occur in 94 Message-ID or References header 95 [done for References in replies/followups, Urs] 96 97 o keep RFC 6532 in mind as parts of it will sooner or later make it into 98 NNTP (sic!). 99 [20120220 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 100 101 o repost ('x') ignores some ~/.tin/attributes 102 [fixed for mailing_list, Urs] 103 104 o forged cancelling via Supersedes:/Also-Control:/Control:-header is possible 105 if it is supplied by hand (inews_prog=--internal) 106 107 o when last articles in a newsgroup were cancelled, it shows that there are 108 new articles in that group (except when using -n cmd-line flag) 109 110 o mailers other than sendmail (f.e. mutt) and use_mailreader_i=OFF may lead 111 to 'duplicated'-headers and multiple signatures 112 113 New features 114 ------------ 115 o add code for other TLS/SSL libraries (wolfSSL, mbed TLS, ...) 116 (<mbedtls/version.h> MBEDTLS_VERSION_STRING_FULL 117 <wolfssl/version.h> LIBWOLFSSL_VERSION_STRING || OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT) 118 119 o add "COMPRESS DEFLATE" support 120 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8054.txt> 121 [20100122 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 122 123 o add possibility to dump the current key mapping to a file 124 125 o make the group status flag (moderated, new, bogus, ...) configurable 126 like the thread and article flag (select.c:build_gline(%f)) 127 [20210709 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 128 129 o add configure check for cl_clear_secret() in libcanlock and CL_API_MAJOR, 130 CL_API_MINOR in canlock.h and if suitable prefer over bundled 131 libcanlock (--with-canlock). 132 [20190212 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 133 134 o update included libcanlock to >= 3.3.0 135 [20211024 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 136 137 o allow per server cache_overview_files setting via serverrc. 138 [20180215 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 139 140 o add something like default_cmd_line_opts (acting like $TINRC) to serverrc? 141 precedence [low to high] = serverrc.def_cmd_line_opts, $TINRC, cmd-line? 142 [20190205 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 143 144 o if we extend serverrc it should also get some 'M'enu. 145 [20190205 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 146 147 o implement SAVE_APPEND_FILE_ALL ('A') and SAVE_OVERWRITE_ALL ('O') keys 148 which just ask once if file(s) already exist (open_save_filename()). 149 [20170811 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 150 151 o add second pipe command when piping multiple articles to use one 152 pipe per article (currently it is one pipe for all). ':' could be 153 used as key (only in use at the pager where this feature doesn't make 154 sense). 155 [20160412 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 156 157 o allow to cancel piping / saving multiple articles, ESC/'z' just stops the 158 current one 159 [20160409 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 160 161 o add per scope getart_limit via attributes 162 [20131114 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 163 164 o add support for %A (Address), %C (Firstname), %N (Fullname) to 165 group_format and thread_format 166 (what about "conflicting" settings for show_author and %[ACIN]?) 167 [20130925 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 168 169 o add a key to "drop" pending data from the server (either by 170 disconnect/reconnect (fast but reconnect may fail due to rate limit or ...) 171 or via calling drain_buffer() (might be slow if there is much pending 172 data)) so one doesn't have to quit and restart tin if the client/server 173 communication gets desynced (i.e by reading an article which has a non 174 dot-stuffed lone '.' in it or the like) 175 [20130615 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 176 177 o x_body currently doesn't allow cmd. execution via ! like x_headers 178 [20110912 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 179 180 o add nntp_default_server to tin.defaults to override compile time setting. 181 if given strings starts with / or ~ the value is taken from the referenced 182 file, if it starts with $ it is read from the referenced variable. 183 [20101118 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 184 185 o the old space_goto_next_article=ON && space_goto_next_unread=OFF is not 186 possible with the new goto_next_unread rc-var, we need something like 187 an additional goto_next_read rc-var 188 [20101101 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 189 190 o add DEFAULT_SIGDASHES_REGEX and related 'M'enu-entry for signature 191 detection in cook.c 192 [20080925 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 193 194 o allow remapping of the 'z' abort-key (lynx style) in wait_for_input(). 195 196 o add more user defined screen layout at different levels (e.g. posting 197 history screen) 198 (mostly done for selection, group and thread level) 199 [20041025 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 200 201 o allow a Message-ID on the cmd. line to jump to the given article 202 [20170718 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 203 204 o add more AUTHINFO SASL (RFC 4643, RFC 5802) support (DIGEST-MD5, 205 EXTERNAL, ...) and a fallback if no libgsasl is found (e.g cyrus-sasl 206 or a handrolled version for at least PLAIN) 207 [20080316 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 208 209 o make 'GNKSA'-parser RFC5322/USEFOR compliant (e.g. 210 misc.c:gnksa_dequote_plainphrase()) and fix bugs 211 212 o add XZVER (and XZHDR) support (zlib compressed yyencoded overview data) 213 <http://helpdesk.astraweb.com/index.php?_m=news&_a=viewnews&newsid=9> 214 215 o the TLD checking in the 'GNKSA'-parser needs some rework, keeping the 216 list of valid TLDs up to date is more or less impossible with the ~1400 217 pending new TLDs 218 [20131024 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 219 220 o add In-Reply-To threading for mailgroups 221 [20030518 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 222 223 o make auto'S'ave also work for inrange groups 224 (unfortunately 'S' at select level is used for something else) 225 [20030508 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 226 227 o turn ask_for_metamail into $MM_NOASK support (see metamail(1)) 228 [20030314 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 229 230 o fetch overview data in chunks (e.g. 100 arts/chunk) to allow 231 faster read interruption. 232 [20020326 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>] 233 234 o add bold-italic, bold-underline, italic-underline, bold-italic-underline 235 word highlightings. 236 [20020721 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 237 238 o allow bold, underline, italic, ... as color substitution for 239 monochrome terminals (map green=underline, italic=yellow) 240 (see also 241 <nntp://news.tin.org/20020416202232.A4575@bloatware.reston01.va.comcast.net>) 242 [20030218 Serge Matveev <sm@cl.spb.ru>] 243 244 o hierarchical 'M'enu, e.g. put all art_marked_*into a 'submenu', 245 restructure/sort 'M'enu items, some display-options (render BiDi) are 246 currently under expert options, some options in display options are 247 navigation options (catchup thread, use mouse, ...) 248 [20020322 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 249 250 o add a postponed 'browser' (store postponed arts in MH or maildir 251 format to make things easier?) 252 [20020305 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>] 253 254 o add postpone option for mail-actions; 255 reusing p'o'stponed articles in mailing_list groups doesn't work 256 (possible fix: store Newsgroups (and other info) via msg_add_header() 257 (to overwrite any old values) in X-Tin-Postponed:-header and remove it 258 before posting.) 259 [20010623 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 260 261 o should the postponed 'file' (and posted messages 'file') be in 262 mailbox_format (even if that's a one file/message format, thus 263 the 'file' actually needs to be a directory?). 264 265 o add maildir/maildir++ support (besides MBOX{O,RD} and MMDF}, 266 MH (not only reading but also writing), mailstore, BABYL, Kendra (MMDF 267 like with 20*CTRL-A as sep.), MBX and MIX (indexed MBOX from UW-IMAP) 268 and add man-pages for the various formats. 269 (see <https://quimby.gnus.org/notes/BABYL> for BABYL, 270 <http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/maildir.html> for maildir, 271 <http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html> for MBOXCL and MBOXCL2, 272 <http://www.washington.edu/imap/listarch/2000/msg00363.html> for MBX, 273 <http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/mixfmt.txt.html for MIX) 274 [20020215 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 275 276 o add $LOCKEXT support 277 [20030611 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 278 279 o add xxencode (<http://www.debath.co.uk/code/xxencode.c>), 280 base224 (<http://b-news.sf.net/>), xBin <http://www.xbin.org/>, 281 base91 (<http://base91.sourceforge.net/>) and yenc (hide/decode-)support 282 (see <http://yydecode.sourceforge.net/> for readable code, ignore 283 the crap on <http://www.yenc.org/>). also check 284 <http://www.exit109.com/~jeremy/news/binaries/> which might replace yenc 285 etc.pp. some day. 286 [20020216 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 287 288 o add "Face:" (incompatible "X-Face:"-replacement) support? 289 [20040107 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 290 291 o turn CA_ERROR_SPACE_IN_NEWSGROUPS, CA_ERROR_NEWLINE_IN_NEWSGROUPS, 292 CA_ERROR_SPACE_IN_FOLLOWUP_TO, CA_ERROR_NEWLINE_IN_FOLLOWUP_TO into 293 CA_WARNING_s (see RFC 5536 3.1.4. and 3.2.6.) and mark them 294 for removal in the future. 295 [define ALLOW_FWS_IN_NEWSGROUPLIST to turn the mentioned errors into 296 warnings. 20011226 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 297 298 o support "Suggested Minimal Digest Format" 299 <ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/faqs/minimal-digest-format> 300 301 o add new threading method: thread by reference, but split threads on 302 subject change 303 [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 304 305 o rewrite thread-method selection that users can easily combine different 306 threading methods (THREAD_SUBJ + THREAD_MULTI || THREAD_REFS + 307 THREAD_MULTI || ...) - see also note in art.c 308 [20011117 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 309 310 o add counter to post-processing commands (processing file x of y) 311 (Is post-processing really that slow? [Jason Faultless 312 <jason@altarstone.com>] no but if you post-process more than a 313 handful of files it would be useful [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]) 314 315 o add key to toggle article and thread sorting preferences on the fly 316 (like 'u' for threading) 317 318 o check if servers high mark is lower than the one in users newsrc, if so 319 issue a warning and allow the luser to reset the highmark in the newsrc 320 to the servers 'l'ow or the servers 'h'igh mark or 'i'gnore it. 321 322 o check if the articles Subject/From in the pager matches (minus 323 whitespaces) the one on the overview file (if available) - if not 324 issue a warning that the servers overviews seem to be broken. trust 325 the headers, not overviews. (see note in rfc2046.c) 326 do the same with the article numbers in the (cached) overview 327 data (we already do this, but currently this will lead to article "loss"). 328 if they are higher than the server's high-mark don't trust them (and 329 discard the locally cached data). 330 331 o attributes (still) needs some work; See doc/config-anomalies. 332 [20030303 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>] 333 334 o add IPv6 support 335 (add protocol independent wrappers which use IPv6 (functions) 336 whenever possible). 337 there are two small problems with the minimalistic IPv6 support which is 338 currently in tin: when getaddrinfo() is used to get the name/ip of the 339 newsserver it always uses DNS (gethostbyname()/gethostbyaddr() checked 340 /etc/hosts first) and getaddrinfo() seems to have a (huge) delay in some 341 cases. use getipnodebyname()/getipnodebyaddr() (if available) instead. 342 check for gethostbyaddr_r()/gethostbyname_r() and use them instead 343 of gethostbyaddr()/gethostbyname() if available. 344 345 o add cmd-line/tinrc-switch to fetch only headers of unread articles; 346 in that case, make 'r' reading the rest of the articles 347 [-G is a start] 348 allow setting a per group limit via attributes 349 350 o check if server supports 'LIST MODERATORS' and/or 'LIST DISTRIB.PATS' and 351 if it does parse the output so it can be shown to the user. (e.g. when 352 posting to a moderated group, show the moderators mail-address, but still 353 leave the mailing to the server; if the group has limited distribution 354 inform the user, ...) 355 356 o if using "-n" command-line switch you can't subscribe to newsgroups not 357 present in your newsrc - a simple check against the server 358 (e.g. GROUP $newsgroup or if !NNTP try to stat the dir) would help. 359 if the server understands "LIST ACTIVE grp" we could also get the group's 360 attribute (moderated, etc.) and with "LIST NEWSGROUPS grp" it's 361 description. 362 363 o item_by_item_etiquette_warnings [compile-time?] 364 (e.g. enable x-posts without f'up warning, disable long-sig warning) 365 366 o posted_articles_file is not available in attributes 367 [20130628 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 368 369 o unify Fcc and posted_articles_file 370 [20031012 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>] 371 372 o MIME-pgp support according to RFC 2015, RFC 3156 -

(but still allow 891 upper/camelcase for -f or a fixed filename in newsrctable). 892 [20160225 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 893 894 o add "host:port" notation support for -g as shortcut for -p port -g host 895 [20160222 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 896 897 o allow "begin-base64"/"====\n" as start/end marker for UUE-blocks besides 898 the traditional "begin"/"end\n"? 899 [20151204 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 900 901 o cache_overview_files also affects $TIN_INDEX_MAILDIR and $TIN_INDEX_SAVEDIR 902 overviews, is this desired? 903 [20151112 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 904 905 o articles without a Message-ID are skipped as the code currently depends 906 on Message-IDs, but they might show up in mailgroups - assign a pseudo 907 Message-ID to them? 908 [20151111 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 909 910 o create missing dir(s) in path to newsrc, right now get_newsrcname() 911 usually comes up with 912 "No permissions to go into /home/$USER/.tin/${NNTPSERVER}" 913 if one uses something like 914 * ~/.tin/${NNTPSERVER-localhost}/.newsrc 915 in newsrctable 916 [20150121 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 917 918 o make --with-defaults-dir= default to $sysconfdir/tin 919 (=/usr/local/etc/tin)? 920 [20110809 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 921 922 o Supersedes (and repost) don't reuse the Reply-To: header of the original 923 article 924 [20110808 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 925 926 o what about !us-ascii chars in username/password when using 927 AUTHINFO USER/PASS? Currently they are sent as is, RFC 3977 says 928 "The character set for all NNTP commands is UTF-8", RFC 4643 doesn't 929 mention any special handling. 930 [20101104 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 931 932 o charset conversion fails when converting articles from multibyte charsets 933 with 0 bytes (UCS2, UCS4, UTF-16[[LB]E], UTF-32[[LB]E], ...), currently 934 we just skip over such parts instead of handling them properly 935 [20100905 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 936 937 o the documentation suggests that novrootdir/$TIN_NOVROOTDIR defaults to 938 spooldir/$TIN_SPOOLDIR if unset, which is not exactly what happens as 939 this default is set at configure/compile time, not at runtime, so 940 setting $TIN_SPOOLDIR to something different than the default will not 941 automatically adjust $TIN_NOVROOTDIR at runtime. we should either 942 fix the documentation or the behaviour. 943 [20100103 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 944 945 o un/subscribe_pattern() is very slow on servers with a huge active file 946 [20091223 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 947 948 o replace wildmat.c with uwildmat.c 949 <http://inn.eyrie.org/trac/browser/trunk/lib/uwildmat.c>? It knows poison 950 patterns and can handle UTF-8 strings 951 [20091223 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 952 953 o support $XDG_CONFIG_HOME[S] / $XDG_DATA_HOME[S] / $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR / 954 $XDG_CACHE_HOME (eg. for cached NEWSGROUPS_FILE) 955 <http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html> 956 [20081010 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 957 958 o add //IGNORE iconv-option like //TRANSLIT? 959 [20080824 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 960 961 o what about REDIRECT_OUTPUT? shouldn't we better add this to DEFAULT_PRINTER 962 so ppl. can override it via the 'M'enu? and shouldn't DEFAULT_PRINTER be 963 detected via configure? 964 [20080625 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 965 966 o create debug output in 967 ${TIN_HOMEDIR-"$HOME"}/.tin"}${NNTPSERVER+"/$NNTPSERVER"} 968 instead of in $TMPDIR (as it may contain username and password, 969 access restrictions in $TMPDIR are a bad idea as other users 970 need to be able to overwrite the file (multi user system)). 971 [20080211 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 972 973 o -M/-N report is mailed to userid, should we use tinrc.mail_address 974 instead? 975 976 o tin uses the first sig-isolator as recent one, USEFOR says it should 977 use the last. There is no consensus that tin should follow this USEFOR 978 requirement. 979 980 o 'K' is still a bit inconsistent: 981 - in the group and thread menu it marks current item read & jumps to the 982 next unread item. 983 - in the article pager (page.c) it marks the rest of the current thread 984 read and jumps to the next unread article. should we let 'K' behave 985 like <TAB> in the pager? 986 987 o rename prompt_followupto (to prompt_extra_headres) and make it an option 988 list like {"Followup-To"; "Summary"; "Keywords"; 989 "Followup-To & Summary"; "Followup-To & Keywords"; 990 "Summary & Keywords"; "Followup-To, Summary & Keywords"} or make it a 991 user-definable text field like news_headers_to_display? or leave this 992 entirely to the user - he could tweak attributes accordingly. 993 [20060503 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 994 995 o in several places only the latest keybinding is shown in prompts 996 (e.g. "q=quit, e=edit, i=ispell, g=pgp, M=menu, w=post, o=postpone: w" 997 with "PostPost p y w" in keymaps) 998 should we try to show them all? 999 [20050718 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1000 1001 o remove hard coded keys (eg. 'q') from txt_filter_global_rules, 1002 txt_reading_article, txt_select_config_file_option, txt_group and 1003 replace with actual keybinding (after making it rebindable). 1004 [20200526 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1005 1006 o add PGP_INCLUDE_KEY to pgp_mail_keys? 1007 [20050426 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1008 1009 o there is no command to undo a range ('#') selection 1010 1011 o 'article loss' reported in 1012 <nntp://news.tin.org/20020915165856.GA1541@martinkl.dialup.fu-berlin.de> 1013 1014 o should 'tin -z foo.bar' only start up if there is any unread news in 1015 foo.bar? 1016 [20040325 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1017 1018 o trn and perls Net::NNTP::Auth use ~/.nntpauth (format is 1019 "^server\s+user\s+password"), shall we also try ~/.nntpauth if we can't 1020 find a matching entry in ~/.newsauth? and should we look for 1021 ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/.newsauth if ~/.newsauth is not found? 1022 [20040128 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1023 1024 o allow a different port in newsauth- and/or newsrctable-file 1025 (server:port [...])? if we do, what's the precedence? 1026 [high] -p, newsauth, newsrctable, $NNTPORT, 119 [low]? 1027 [20140504 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1028 1029 o what todo if in a CTE: x-uue the CD: filename differs from the one given 1030 in the begin line? IMHO we should use the one from the begin line for 1031 saving and in the overview in the pager. 1032 [urs@tin.org] 1033 1034 o inverse_okay's Menu description isn't accurate (inverse is also used for 1035 URL highlighting). mono_mark* do allow "Reverse video" even if 1036 inverse_okay=FALSE. 1037 1038 o --disable-inverse-video seems to be ignored - do we still need it? 1039 1040 o move tinrc.defaults for certain comannds to a pre-filled .inputhistory? 1041 (if so, also move last_search there) 1042 [Jason Faultless] 1043 1044 o what about -a cmd-line flag? is this really needed? IMHO this can be 1045 dropped, '&' can be used for runtime color toggling. 1046 [20021106 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1047 1048 o commas in real-name might cause problems in mail-replies 1049 'From: Last, First <user@example.com>' (which was illegal in RFC 1036 but 1050 is no longer with RFC 5536) leads to 'To: Last, First<user@example.com>' 1051 which is 'last@localhost,user@example.com' should we try to fix things and 1052 quote the realname part? 1053 [20021007 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1054 1055 o setting TIN_HOMEDIR to a non-existent dir gives a "Filesystem full" 1056 error-message (but doesn't force quit) instead of creating the dir. bug? 1057 feature? if the later we should give a more exact error-message. 1058 [20011112 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1059 1060 o update gettext stuff to > gettext-0.12.1 (or drop it?) 1061 1062 o shows up cross-postings multiple times even if read once before getting 1063 a resync/reread active/newsrc-file 1064 1065 o think about group numbering in "only unread" display mode 1066 (using different numbers in show all/show only unread leads to some 1067 problems, f.e. group moving) 1068 1069 o doesn't handle symlinks for .oldnewsrc 1070 (see <20021003021508.GA28021@akk10.akk.uni-karlsruhe.de> for details, urs. 1071 if we're going to 'fix' this we must be careful to avoid symlink 1072 attacks (<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-1999-1091>) 1073 [20020627 Jeff Sheinberg <jeffsh@erols.com>] 1074 1075 o missing newsrc file and connecting to a server without groups leads to the 1076 question "Try and save newsrc file again? (Y/n)" but a newsrc file doesn't 1077 get written. Same may occur on quitting if newsrc file had been removed 1078 while tin was running. Useful? Should write_newsrc() try to create a newsrc 1079 file if it is missing instead of just leaving? 1080 [20061102 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>] 1081 1082 o configure checks for fdopen(3) and defines HAVE_FDOPEN if found, but we 1083 don't have any code guarded with that macro nor any fallback code if not 1084 found. 1085 1086 o re add innlib support? (the old one was dropped as the lib has retired 1087 all (which were not that many) features we used and our code didn't 1088 use the innlibs code where ever it was possible (and useful). 1089 [20080211 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1090 1091 o add check for libarchive <http://www.libarchive.org/> 1092 and use for post-processing? 1093 [20111225 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1094 1095 o add check for liblockfile and/or liblock and use if found? 1096 1097 o add check for heapsort(3) in libbsd? <http://libbsd.freedesktop.org/wiki/> 1098 [20130305 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1099 1100 o add check for libtre and offer TRE as matching method for "wildcard"? 1101 <http://laurikari.net/tre/about/>, <https://github.com/laurikari/tre/> 1102 [20130706 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>] 1103 1104 o eval $NEWSHOST if $NNTPSERVER is unset (like Net::NNTP(3perl)) 1105 [20141225 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]
