  • TLS for clients: "from 1.3.23" again instead of "on main" The pages describe main; "from 1.3.23" stays right after the release, "on main" doesn't.

    @go-while go-while committed Oct 31, 2026
  • Update wiki for current main behavior Document bounded and adaptive upstream replies, multi-server posting dates and stalled client writes. Correct stale client TLS, authentication, command and spool statistics descriptions. Co-Authored-By: GPT-6.1 Terra <noreply@openai.com>

    @go-while go-while committed Oct 31, 2026
  • TLS for Clients: new page (TLSListenTo, certificates, AuthRequiresTLS, -t); links from Home, sidebar, Configuration, Installation, Access, Troubleshooting

    @go-while go-while committed Oct 28, 2026
  • Wiki: failed-login delay at most 1 s (#147), log redaction (#146), MD5 on big-endian (#148)

    @go-while go-while committed Oct 28, 2026
  • Wiki: Configuration: Server-only Retries/ReadTimeout, ConfigVersion, Hostname, Nice options From the corrected newscache.conf(5) (#126): Retries and ReadTimeout are options of a Server entry only; ConfigVersion accepts only 5 and may be left out; Hostname is the host name in generated Message-IDs; the Nice defaults, NiceServer also for the sessions, NiceClient without effect; User/Password, ConnectTimeout, ConnectBackoff and dontgenmsgid as described there. Also rejoins the server option table, which had a blank line before its last row. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

  • 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.
