NewsHound, v1.39
****************** Release Notes ******************
****************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ******************
There are now two newshound mailing lists - newshound-announce
for announcements of new versions, and newshound-l for
discussion. Please see the stronghelp manual for details of
how to subscribe.
**** Version 1.37 ****
This version uses a slightly different queue format, and so you
need a new version of Qedit to be able to edit messages in the
queue.
Qedit 0.58j is available from
<http://www.ping.demon.co.uk/acorn/download.html>.
**** Version 1.36 ****
Voyager users should note that to achieve the same behaviour as the
last version, -voyager must be passed to NewsHound on the command
line.
Also, NewsHound will now report groups that you've asked it to
fetch but are not on the server - you can disable this in the
configuration window if it's not to your liking.
NewsBase 0.60m or later is recommended.
**** Version 1.34 ****
NewsHound now longer used the toolbox modules - the 'Res' and 'Messages'
files may be removed if you're upgrading an old copy.
**** Version 1.22 ****
If you're upgrading from a version prior to 1.22, you should note that the
Rulefile format has changed slightly. Matching on fields is not case
insensitive anymore - lower case now matches anything, and upper only
upper.
To retain the same effect as previous versions of NewsHound, you should
make sure all your rules are written in LOWER case.

Upgrading
~~~~~~~~~
a) Transport:
Run !InstTrans to update the transport definition. (you don't need to
copy it out of the archive first if you're using SparkFS).
NB. If you manually installed the newsbase transport anywhere other than
!NewsDir.newsbase.transports, delete it!
b) NewsHound:
Just drag !NewsHound out of the archive over the top of your main copy.
It contains no config files, it will not wipe your current settings.
See the 'Docs' directory for more information.
