VERSION 0.73 - Fix: The expire -r command corrupted the news base. - Fix: Memorized keyword search truncated the search expression to the keyword file name length. - Fix: If an article's References: header was continued over more than one line, only the first line was read. - Fix: Save thread to file function did not write user defined header at beginning of each article. VERSION 0.72 - Pressing the Esc key at the article reading level now returns you to the article selection level. The 'q' key now returns you to the newsgroup selection level. - Added memorized keyword search. In the search functions, enter @filename for the search text to match any of the keywords listed in the file. The file should list one keyword per line. - The import program now returns errorlevel 1 if the SOUP file could not be unpacked. - Fix: The import program inserted an extraneous / path separator if the TMP environment setting ended with a \. - Fix: After the expire program deleted all the articles in a newsgroup, the reader program reported 1 unread article in the newsgroup. VERSION 0.71 - When sending a USENET post containing a Cc: header, a copy of the message with the Cc: replaced with To: is also sent as mail. - Fix: The import program inserted an extraneous \ path separator if the TMP environment variable was set to the root directory. - Fix: The yarn program corrupted the user's newsrc file if it contained a newsgroup not in the active newsgroup list. - Fix: The yarnx.exe program did no daylight saving time adjustment on the time zone part of the Date: header in outgoing messages. VERSION 0.70 - Added 'B' command to resend a message. This command works only in the MAILED and POSTED folders. - The import program uses the directory specified by the environment setting TMP to hold temporary working files. - Fix: The expire command with no arguments did not remove old entries from the history file. - Fix: The rmgroup command corrupted the active file. - Fix: The join truncated subject code did not include white space or punctuation in the count of matching characters. VERSION 0.69 - Now look at Message-ID: and References: headers to order the articles in a thread. - Added CONFIG setting to allow you to join truncated subjects into a common thread. For example, use the setting join-truncated-subjects = 21 to join articles with subjects truncated by a QWK reader into the proper thread. The setting specifies the number of characters to match in the subject, not counting the Re: portion. - Yarn used the date in the Expires: header only if it was further in the future than the normal article expiry date. - Removed "Abort" selection from menus. With the 'A' and 'S' keys adjacent to each other, users might accidently select "Abort" when they intended to select "Send". To abort now, press the Esc key. - At start up, now estimate the number of unread articles in each newsgroup instead of loading the newsgroups and actually counting unread articles. VERSION 0.68 - If mail filtering was enabled, the import program repeatedly displayed the error message "Cannot create INBOX" when reading a download packet containing many mail messages. - Fixed wrapping of long address lists in To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers of outgoing messages.

VERSION 0.66 - The F3 command refused to add an entry to the address book if the alias field matched the beginning of the address field. - If the address book contained a very long address list, yarn overflowed a memory buffer when you tried mailing to that list. If the address list is longer than 80 characters, the F2 pick list inserts the alias instead of the address. - Increased address field maximum length in an address book entry to 32000 characters. - Now avoid writing long lines to the address book file by writing each address in an address list on a separate line followed by the \ line continuation character. - Added CONFIG settings for save to file command: The save to file command writes this line at the start of each saved message. The default is to write no line at the beginning of the message. save-mail-header = Message %a of %C: The save to file command writes this line at the start of each saved article. The default is to write no line at the beginning of the article. save-news-header = Article %a of %C: - To enable support for the ISO-8859/8 (Hebrew) character set, put the line charset = iso-8859-8 in the CONFIG file and set the code page to 862. - Added CONFIG option for visually impaired users. Set speech = on to enable a speech friendly user interface. - To show only certain message headers, put show = <header list> in the CONFIG file, where <header list> is a list of headers separated by spaces.

VERSION 0.65 - The "expire -r" command also deleted old articles from the history file. - When sending a message, insert the configured From: header and discard any changes made to the header while in the editor. - The left and right arrow keys now move between the newsgroup selection level, article selection level and article reading level. Pressing the right arrow key at the article reading level moves to the next unread article. VERSION 0.64 - The "expire -r" program corrupted the history file. - Added PGP hooks. - The timezone in the Date: header now accounts for daylight savings time. - While entering a form field that asks for a mail address, the selection of an entry from the address book using the F2 key now inserts the address instead of the alias. - By default, comments (parentheses and the text between them) are now stripped from the To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers of outgoing messages. To leave the comments in, put this line in the CONFIG file: address-comments=on VERSION 0.63 - The "expire -r" command hung if all articles in the news base were marked as read. - Catch up command at newsgroup selection level did not clear count of unread articles. - When saving to a folder, pressing the F2 key while entering the folder name pops up a list of existing folders you can select from. - Enable high intensity background colors. VERSION 0.62 - Changed the command key mapping to eliminate Alt- keys.
