Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 17:11:15 -0500 From: madodel Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: Pronews/2 v1.58 released ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++ From: Trevor Hemsley I'm pleased to announce the release of Pronews/2 v1.58 Pronews/2 is a multithreaded NNTP Newsreader program for OS/2. If you are upgrading from a release prior to 1.54 then you are strongly urged to backup your existing filter files as the files have a different on-disk format from 1.54 onwards. Failure to backup files *.FLT in \pronews and \pronews\headers will mean it will be impossible to use your filters if you should need to revert to a release prior to 1.54. You should also read the readme.txt file installed in the \pronews directory as this covers changes and new features from prior releases as well as tips for making Pronews/2 quicker. You can find Pronews/2 1.58 on ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming (later to be ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/news/reader) as pn2v158.zip. Pronews/2 is shareware and all profits from its sale are donated to the charity Save the Children. Pronews/2 v1.58 is a relatively small update with a few bugs fixed and one new feature - the ability to send email through servers that require a userid/password. Authenication mechanisms CRAM-MD5, LOGIN and PLAIN are supported. Other fixes include 4 bugs that caused crashes, filters not liking embedded % characters and one fix that stops garbage being posted if you post with autowrap off. More information about all changes and installation instructions can be found in the readme file after (or during) the install.
