New snapshots available. Mainly code cleanup like t_config reordering to
avoid padding and minor bugfixing.
New features:
. try charset conversion with ICU ucnv_* (if found) in case iconv() fails or
is not available. see [1] below.
. basic (no custom-messages) $MAILPATH support
. skip reading attributes with -Z
. skip reading filter-file with -u
. warn about -u[oXzZ] and -oZ (useless combination)
. use arc4random_uniform(3) for random-numbers (if found)
Retired features:
. %G, %P expansion in $MAILCAPS (doesn't make much sense)
[1] if you cache overviews and read groups with (lots) of exotic
charsets (which were not recognized in the past and you saw '?' all
over the place; e.g. de.test) you may think about removing the old
data and let it be rebuild (either via "-u" or when you next time enter
the group during a normal session), to find cached data you may use
something like:
tin -vV 2>&1 | grep -q UCN && \
grep -qF cache_overview_files=ON ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc && \
echo "# Consider to remove old overview caches below" && \
find "${TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR-"${TIN_HOMEDIR-"$HOME"}/.tin"}/" \
-type d -name '.news*'
