2.1.2-current "Sydney/Waverton" : 29-Mar-2021
ADDED_FEATURES:
This is just a tiny improvement of the documentation of v.2.1.0. No actual changes were made in the code. This release is named Crows Nest, after one of my favorite parts of Sydney during the years when I was a regular visitor of NSW.

Please note that this is a minor clean-up release. No upgrades are necessary.
2.0.9-stable "Bergen, Christmas Releae 2017" : 18-Dec-2017
FIXES:
- 'configure' script did not check whether the `install' tool is
present. The tool's presence is now also checked.
MISC:
- Old RFC 850 mentions YY (two-digit) yearly format. However, INNd
uses YYYY (four-digit) yearly format. WendzelNNTPd now does the
same.
- Tiny code cleanup (removed two doubled prototype definitions).
- Ran WendzelNNTPd with lib efence, just to see whether memory leaks
would be detected. Executed (hopefully) all possible NNTP commands.
No memory leaks were revealed. However, tested only Sqlite3 setup,
not MySQL.

This new minor release is basically just an improvement for those who are new to WendzelNNTPd. The documentation was improved and the code now compiles a bit easier under FreeBSD. No bugs were discovered or fixed and an update from v.2.0.7 is not necessary.
2.0.8-stable "Oslo" : 31-Jan-2017
ADDED_FEATURES:
- *BSD support: Add comment how to install WendzelNNTPd under FreeBSD
and other BSD derivates in documentation and also adjust the Makefile
accordingly since group "root" is called "wheel" there. Now use 0:0
instead of root:root in install/upgrade targets of the Makefile.
MISC:
- Slight improvement of the documentation (how to start/stop/restart
the service and how to install the startup script) and in the expla-
nation of the default config file (wendzelnntpd.conf).
- Slight improvement of help output and comments in configure script
and Makefile.
- Tiny code e-mail address clean-up

This new release fixes a problem with the XHDR command that led to problems with some Usenet clients (e.g. claws-mail). Additional tiny improvements were made to improve the error reporting.
No security fixes were applied but it is recommended to upgrade from all v2.0.x releases to v2.0.7 in order to prevent NNTP protocol problems with clients using XHDR.
As usual: Enjoy the new release!
