Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Pronews/2 v1,52 build cp012 now available

From: Trevor-Hemsleyatno.spam.dial.pipex.com (Trevor Hemsley) 

Pronews/2 v1.52 build cp012 is now available for download from 
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/pn2152cp012.zip and its mirrors.  It's
destination is 
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/news/reader/pn2152cp012.zip 

Pronews/2 is an internet news reader for OS/2!

This release contains the following fixes and enhancements:

1) Attempt to load a URL that spanned multiple lines would fail due to
only partial URL being passed to Netscape. Also change max URL length  to
512.

2) We'd attempt to retrieve "autolimit" headers rather than the number of
messages in the group when "prompt over" was set.

3) CR not added to lines ending in LF when autowrap is OFF !!!

4) "Use Group Defaults" ignored on Posting page of settings note book  for
each group.

5) Add groupname to a couple of messages in the log

6) Add Cancel and Catchup to commands saved at shutdown

7) Modify check for "group rebuilt on server" to only spring into  action
if new "highnum" is less than old "lownum" to stop false  detection and
retrieval of all articles.

8) Handle headers containing only tab characters correctly when emls 
formatting is requested. Stops following header lines from appearing  as
part of the body of the article.

9) Amend Save Queue to save only specific commands not everything  except
posts.

10) Fix crash when attempting to spellcheck a message

11) Handle "Prompt if over" and "Automatically limit to" and upper  limit
of maxheaders in prompt dialogs

12) Append to file dialog box was incorrectly titled Save as...

13) Fixed bug that stopped cancel posts being issued from any group  other
than "Sent Messages".

14) Added PNMAXHEADERS support to 'Retrieve all headers' code section.
Previously only worked for 'get new headers'.

15) Fixed erroneous popup about number of messages in group exceeding 
threshold when there are 0 articles.

16) Semicolon added to list of allowable characters in http[s] URLs.

17) QP encoded articles received from connection now correctly have 
trailing = signs on lines removed before article is written to disk.

18) Translated all C source files to CPP for better typing and casting
support.

19) Subject field is now always QP encoded if it contains 8BIT 
characters. Ignores the newsgroup posting settings.

20) Sender email address was in MIME when quoted in the "On such and 
such, so and so wrote:" line in replies.

21) Corrected "Not enough space" popup error message to include amount of
space required correctly (not 0 any more!)

22) Allowed posting and decoding of multipart articles in up to 2048 
parts now.

23) Added debug code to let me trace what gets called most often and  then
tuned the top 10 or so callees. I feel the need for speed :-)

24) Fixed an error that occurred when the server high message number  was
lower than the local high message number for a group. Ths happens  when a
newsgroup is rebuilt on the server and before, it would not be 
noticeable, just no new messages would show up. Now Pronews will 
automatically adjust the local high message number to the server hmn  and
subsequent fetches will pick up new articles.

25) Added % character as a valid URL character

26) Added support for https:// links

27) Email address local parts containing the / and + character 
incorrectly mangled even though it's a valid RFC822 char.

28) Servers incorrectly go offline even with tasks still queued when  "Go
offline when queue is empty" is set on.

29) Correct incomplete data displayed when editing an article in the  post
queue. Data after the first blank line was omitted from the  editor window
previously.

30) Correct double-decode of quoted printable articles that lost 
characters from them. Decode only once on receipt of article from  server,
not again when displaying it locally.

31) Correct crash when retrieving headers that contain a malformed  date.

32) Two too many articles being retrieved when max headers was being 
reached.

33) Speeded up various functions by eliminating a call to put offline 
servers that were already offline!

34) Changed log functions to add fractions of a second to log output  to
aid in performance debugging

35) Correct a problem with groups containing over 32767 headers where  the
scrollbar behaved weirdly. Scrolling was erratic
to say the least! Aha! This will be the "Scrolling bug when more than  32k
articles in a group" listed as fixed in ia119 by Panacea.

36) Add log debug message when maximum headers dialog window is  issued.
Groupname can be too long to be seen so this at
least lets you find out what group it is.

37) Enhancement: if an environment variable PNMAXHEADERS is set set to a
number then that will become the largest number of headers allowed  in a
newsgroup. Default: 100000.

38) Enhancement: if an environment variable PNNOOFASFILEPART is set to any
value then PN2 will not treat "x of y" as file part numbers in  multipart
decodes, only (x/y) will work.

39) Enhancement to display missing article part numbers when a  multipart
decode is requested. Makes requesting reposts easier.

40) Check for dates with year > 2037 and set to 2001 to stop crash in 
strftime(). Validity check all date fields!
