  • Wiki: program options as in the corrected man pages From #126: newscache -h, and -o reads the configuration first; newscacheclean -c, -s, -p, -t, -v, -h; updatenews -c, -v, -h, -g wins over -o, -l only with -g, and what it does without -a, -g, -o and -l.

  • Wiki: options and fixes on main since 1.3.22 Configuration: ReadTimeout, MaxArticleSize, MaxPostSize; defaults and ranges of the numeric options, which are now checked; ConnectTimeout (default 0, also used by updatenews); NiceClean is used now; ClientTimeout limits writes and reads in a command; the log file and the pid file aren't written through links; Username warning. Upstream servers: ReadTimeout and Retries, the starttls login waits for STARTTLS, 400/503 replies, MaxArticleSize and the 16 KiB line limit, 403 on upstream failures. Caching: updatenews -w is ignored, --lock-groups, the last prefetch line without a newline, ConnectTimeout; newscacheclean doesn't follow symlinks and uses NiceClean; queued posts stay in .artSpool.
