The main new things are documentation, working split rules, and group authentication. Also new are the STAT and TOUCH commands. There are some changes to nndb.el, but I haven't pulled in Kai's newest release, yet. 0.10 should be out soon, with a better, stronger, faster nndb.el. We have the technology to rebuild it. (reference to the now-obscure american TV show "$6M Man"). Here are the ChangeLog entries: Mon Apr 15 11:30:52 1996 Joe Hildebrand * nndb.PL: released version 0.9 * lib/NNDB/NNTP.pm (STAT): add it.

Cleaned out old config options. Edited pod documentation to reflect change. * MH_Article.pm: Changed delete_article_file() to not refigure the new last article number. * NNTP.pm: Added new Group_Auth stuff. It now checks for permissions at the protocol level. Wed Apr 10 12:38:43 1996 David Blacka * lib: Capitalized all lower-case modules; made collateral changes in all of the perl files that 'use'd those modules. * MANIFEST: changed to reflect new module names.
