VERSION 0.91
- Now display a real thread tree in the article selection list.
- The 'O' command at the newsgroup selection level now marks all articles
in the newsgroup as read when it saves the articles to a folder.
- Fix: Score rules that look for a regular expression in a specific header
now search in the header value only.
- Fix: Character set conversion in the header was incorrect when editing
a message.
- Fix: A reply or followup to a quoted-printable message incorrectly
inserted a quote character after a continued line symbol.
- Fix: The program stopped reading the newsrc file after a line that ended
with a space.
VERSION 0.90
- The news spool file format has changed. It is not compatible with
previous versions of Yarn. Run the cvt09 program to convert an existing
old format news base to the new format.
- Now decode quoted-printable in the reply and followup functions.
- Now display messages in the character set specified by the "charset"
config setting if the Content-Type or charset header is missing.
- When sending an e-mail reply to the author of a USENET article, the
reader program now inserts an X-Newsgroups line instead of a Newsgroups
line into the message header.
- Now pass only the message body to the spell check program.
VERSION 0.89
- The built-in viewer now displays MIME messages with
Content-Type: text/plain and Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable.
- Added config setting to control quit confirmation.
# Ask user for confirmation before exiting news reader.
confirm-quit = on
- Now save calculated scores to avoid recalculating them the next time
your read a newsgroup. All articles in a newsgroup will be rescored
if you change the score files.
- Fix: Scores were not calculated for articles marked as read when using
the V command.
VERSION 0.88
- Now ask the user for confirmation before exiting the reader program.
- Changed configuration file settings:
# default sort criterion for article selection list
# (one of arrival, subject, score,arrival or score,subject)
sort-by = arrival
- Fix: Outgoing messages may be corrupted when you edit replies.
- Fix: The uudecode function left a file open.
VERSION 0.87
- Added uudecode function. Commands changed as follows:
Article selection level and article reading level
B Extract uuencoded file from current article
Message selection level and message reading level
B Extract uuencoded file from current article
E Resend message
- Added save-directory config setting which specifies the directory where
articles are saved.
- Search expressions in score files are now plain string matches by default.
Use the keyword "pattern" to specify a regular expression. For example
-1 pattern Subject: \bFA\b
- Fix: The reader now silently ignores invalid regular expressions in
score files instead of aborting the program.
- Fix: When viewing a folder, the message list had garbage score values.
- Fix: Sort articles by subject didn't work.
VERSION 0.86
- Added support for score files. The ENGLISH.DOC file explains how to use
score files. Added new commands:
Newsgroup selection level
E Edit global score file
Article selection level and article reading level
E Edit newsgroup score file
Changed configuration file settings:
# default sort criterion for article selection list
# (one of arrival, subject or score)
sort-by = arrival
# default display format of article selection list
# 0 = Subject, From
# 1 = Subject, From, Score
# 2 = Subject, From, Lines
# 3 = Subject
message-list-format = 0
- Changed message quoting configuration settings:
# prefix inserted before quoted lines when you reply or followup
reply-quote=>
# Message lines beginning with any of these characters are shown as quoted.
quote=>|:
- When removing deleted messages from a folder, the file is now updated in
place instead of writing a temporary copy of the file.
- Fix: The B (resend) command can now resend USENET articles from the POSTED
folder.
- Fix: The B (resend) command removed any MIME attachments on resent messages.
- Fix: The mail encryption function did an invalid memory access when the
recipient's full name was not specified on the To header.
- Fix: The import program didn't clean up the temporary work directory when
importing SOUP packets with the -n option.
VERSION 0.85
- Replaced the mkhist program with the rebuild program, which can reconstruct
the overview files in addition to the history file.
- Changed the behaviour of the B resend command in the reader. The program
now asks you for the mail address where the message will be resent.
- Instead of the recipient's email address, the recipient's full name is
now passed as the public key ID to PGP.
- Added -u option to import program to import unpacked SOUP files from the
current directory.
- Renamed the "message" configuration setting to "status-line".
- Fix: The expire program deleted articles that didn't have exactly one
space separating the Message-ID: header from the value.
- Fix: The filter rule file wasn't updated after deleting a filter rule.
VERSION 0.84
- The reply to all recipients option in the mail reply function now puts
the author of the original message on the To: line and all other
recipients of the original message except the user on the Cc: line.
- Now the folder list doesn't count the number of messages in each folder
until you view the folder.
- Added | command at the article selection and article reading level to
run a program, piping the article into the program's standard input.
If you put %f on the command line, it is replaced with the name of
a temporary file containing the article, and the article will not be
piped into the standard input.
- The MS-DOS yarn.exe program is now compiled with Borland C++ 4.5 to use
overlays. Thanks to Chris Szurgot <szurgot@infi.net> for compiling it.
I know it's now slower than the previous version, but overlays with C++
templates don't work in Watcom C++ 10.0b.
- Fix: The MS-DOS import.exe program could not handle wild card file names.
- Fix: Corrected memory access violation bugs in yarn.exe and filter.exe.
- Fix: The Enter key on the numeric keypad was ignored.
VERSION 0.83
- Fix: The $HOME\yarn\readart dbm file was not closed on exit, resulting
in lost clusters.

# default display format of article selection list
# 0 = Subject, From
# 1 = Subject, From, Lines
# 2 = Subject
message-list-format = 0
- Added DOS protected mode version of expire program to MS-DOS distribution.
Try the expirex.exe program if the DOS real mode expire.exe program runs
out of memory.
- Fix: The MS-DOS version of import.exe and yarn.exe failed to run external
programs if the program name did not include a file extension.
- Fix: The screen output from the MS-DOS yarn.exe program was invisible on
monochrome display adapters.

previous versions of Yarn. Run the cvt08 program to convert an existing
old format news base to the new format.
