+B<nnrpd> now checks at injection time that an article does not contain an
+Injection-Info: header, that an Injection-Date: header (if provided) is
+valid, and that the Path: header does not contain C<.POSTED>. Note that the
+generation of these two injection fields and the update of the Path: field
+for locally posted articles will only be for the next major release of INN.

+A new check has been added to F<newsfeeds> entries: C<Aj>, when present,

+A new parameter has been added to F<inn.conf>: I<logtrash> defines whether

+The default is true but it can be useful to set it to false (especially
