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.

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: which logins are required, allow authentication, 500 What?
From the corrected docs (#126): only "Authentication unix" without
fields requires a login; file:, pam, pam+file and unix with fields are
optional. "allow authentication" only keeps a client connected so that
it can log in. Where no login can add a right, a command that needs it
gets "500 What?", POST included.

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.

Wiki: daemon and log files, upgrading from 1.3.22
Installation: SIGTERM ends the sessions at once, the warning without
Username, the log directory needn't be writable for news when the
programs start as root, autogen stops when autoreconf fails.
Troubleshooting: log file links, fds 0-2 on /dev/null, config errors,
481, and what changes for users of 1.3.22.

Wiki: GNU/Hurd, current unit checks
NewsCache builds on Debian GNU/Hurd (#119): libcrypt-dev must be
installed there, and the e2e tests are skipped (no Go). The list of
unit checks adds cNewsgroupList, cLogger and cUtil.

Wiki: reply codes per RFC 3977/4643
Failed login 481, PASS without USER 482, AUTHINFO after a login or
without Authentication 502; greeting and MODE READER 201 when the client
may not post; MODE READER and CAPABILITIES before the login; 403 for
upstream failures and internal faults; POST answers only 240 or 441
after the article; GROUP/LISTGROUP 411 only for a missing group, 412
when the current group is gone; 420 for OVER/XOVER/XHDR without a
current article; 501 Line too long; NEWGROUPS in LIST ACTIVE format;
LIST ACTIVE and LIST NEWSGROUPS keep to the client's List. Also prefix

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.
