Changed criteria for deciding if articles have been read?

[Lloyd Zusman <ljz@asfast.com>]

I've been away from the group for a month or so, and I haven't done a
CVS update in that long.

I just now did the CVS update, and when I run the resultant gnus
build, I see many old articles in almost all my groups showing up as
unread.

The weird thing about this is that not all old articles show up as
unread ... only maybe the past 3-5 weeks' worth.

If I switch to my older version of Oort, the unread-ness of the
articles once again appears correct.

Are recent Oort versions doing something different with marks, or
something?

Forgive me if this has been discussed during the past few weeks, but
due to my absence, I've gotten way behind in all my mailing list and
newsgroup reading, and I still haven't been able to catch up on
everything I've missed.

Feel free to email me privately if this has recently been discussed
and you don't want to clutter the group with redundant info.

Thanks in advance.
