IC Staff Comment: This is a value added version of NewsWatcher 2.1.5, from a different author than the original (John Norstad). The latter is also available from the Internet Connection software library.

NOTE: If you are upgrading from an earlier version of YA-NewsWatcher, be sure to read the "Converting Old Filters" memo in the Docs folder BEFORE starting the program.

Yet Another NewsWatcher is a newsreader with added bonuses, such as filters, automatic anonymous remailing facilities, and PGP encryption!

Yet Another NewsWatcher is being developed by Brian Clark, based on the original NewsWatcher application by John Norstad and Value-Added NewsWatcher by Brian Clark, David Brewster and Bob Boonstra.

Please read the documentation included with YA-NW before installing this new version.

This archive contains the YA-NW application and the YA-Base64 decoder helper application.

2.4.0 (final)
* Fixed a problem with killing articles based on score. The label was
  not being set to (killed). If the "Show Killed Articles" option was
  enabled, an article killed by score would be marked as read but would
  be labeled according to the last matching label rather than labeled
  as (killed).
* Fixed a old, old bug that caused threads to be incorrectly sorted when
  "Sort Labeled to Top" was enabled (the wrong article within a thread
   was used for the sorting comparison).
* The "YA-NW Readme" and the seven illustrated mini-manuals are now
  grouped together in one eDoc "YA-NewsWatcher User Guide" with index
  (actually a table of contents). The eDoc reader application is
  supplied as part of the distribution package. Most of the remaining
  docs are supplied as SimpleText files. Documents prepared by others
  and available via WWW are supplied in html format (downloaded from the
  original web site) with an added link to the original web page.

This new release contains a variety of improvements and bug fixes. See the "Revision History" document for details.
