INN 2.3.4 is at <ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/testing/inn-2.3.4.tar.gz> and
is available for testing.  If no problems are found, I'll put out the
release later this week.

I'm hoping that INN 2.4.0 will be out soon and that this will be the last
release from the 2.3 branch, but there may need to be one final one after
this one.

Here is the draft announcement:

From: Russ Allbery <rra at isc.org>
Organization: Internet Software Consortium
Subject: [ANNOUNCE] INN 2.3.4 available
To: inn-announce at isc.org
Newsgroups: news.software.nntp

The Internet Software Consortium is pleased to announce that a new bug-fix
release of INN is available at:

    ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/inn-2.3.4.tar.gz

The MD5 checksum of this release is:

    <to be filled in>

A PGP signature will soon be available in the same directory.  There is a
patch from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 available there as well.

This is a bug-fix release over 2.3.3.  Upgrading an existing INN 2.3.3
installation is as simple as building INN 2.3.4, running make update, and
restarting innd and related programs.

Because of the extensive additions, it's also recommended that you look at
the new sample control.ctl file and update yours where appropriate.

Changes from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4:

  * LIST ACTIVE no longer returns data when given a single group argument
    if the client is not authorized to read that group.

  * XHDR and XPAT weren't correctly parsing article headers, resulting in
    searches for the header "newsgroup" matching the header "newsgroups".

  * Made CNFS more robust against crashes by actually syncing the cycbuff
    headers to disk as was originally intended.  Fixed a memory leak in
    the tradspool code.

  * Two bugs in pgpverify when using GnuPG were fixed: it now correctly
    checks for gpgv (rather than pgp) when told to use GnuPG and expects
    the keyring to be pubring.gpg (not pubring.pgp).

  * Substantial updates to the sample provided control.ctl file.

  * Compilation fixes with Perl 5.8.0, BerkeleyDB 4.x, current versions of
    Linux (including with large file support), and Tru64.  inndf fixes for
    ReiserFS.

  * Various bugs in the header handling in nnrpd have been fixed,
    including hangs when using virtual domains and improper processing of
    folded headers under certain circumstances.

  * Other minor bug fixes and documentation improvements.

Please submit all bug reports to inn-bugs at isc.org.  Please send all
patches to inn-patches at isc.org.
