[tin-announce] [ANNOUNCE] tin 2.6.0 released

[Urs Janßen]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

30 years after the initial release[1] I made a new major version
(2.6.0) available:

New features:
. jump to article in posting history screen ('W')
. ThreadTagParts ('T') in thread level
. filter articles based on Path, see doc/filtering for details
. allow multibyte chars (e.g. emojis) as art_marked_*

Changes:
. Subjects are now normalized if local charset is UTF-8 and system supports it
. With the new GNKSA_MISSING_REALNAME return code for filtering filter rules
  with "gnksa=>NUM" may need inspection if filtering on missing real names is
  desired.
. sigfile=!/path/to/command no longer passes the name of the current
  newsgroup to command. One can specify %G which will be replaced by
  the name of the current newsgroup to match the old behaviour:
  'sigfile=!/path/to/command %G'.
. --enable-cancel-locks requires libcanlock-3 (which is included, but
  some distros (e.g. debian) are linking against a shared lib which may
  be too old).
. "make install" no longer strips the tin binary

Retired Features:
. tinrc and attributes option auto_save for saving articles based on the
  Archive-name:-"header", it didn't work with NOV present and the logic
  was shar(1)-archive centric and didn't work for FAQs or the like.
. tinrc and attributes option start_editor_offset as editor_format is flexible
  enough
