New snapshots available. As usual, the new features are not well tested,
esp. away from x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc and new option names may change
before the official release without any code to catch that ...
New tinrc option:
- dont_break_words, if set don't break long ines inside words, just on
SPACE or TAB if possible.
New attributes option (requires ucsdet_*() from ICU >= 3.6; libicui18n):
- undeclared_cs_guess, if set try to guess the charset of an article
whenit has no charset given via Content-Type param.
If ucsdet_*() is available the charset of the description of the group
is guessed; description shall be in UTF-8, but ... As descriptions are
short guessing is difficult and may lead to wrong results (see
ukr.commerce.auto below, I doubt that is correct), but without we hard
assumed UTF-8 and the result were usualy lots of '?' if the description
was not in UTF-8 or US-ASCII. e.g.:
old:
8 tw.bbs.alumni.hsntnu ?????O?W?v?j???????ͷ|
9 han.talk.economy ???? ?????? ???? ???߱?.
...
17 ukr.commerce.auto ?????????????
18 ukr.commerce.chemical ??????? ????Ҧ???, ?????????...
19 ukr.commerce.construction ????????Φ ????Ҧ???
new:

Disallow giving both --with-socks and --with-socks5.
If REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD is set (compile time), __DATE__, __TIME__, $CFLAGS,
$CPPFLAGS and $LDFLAGS in not recoded the binary.
The use of "Distribution: all" will now result on an error and
the use of "Distribution: world" will give a waring right before the
article is posted.
