New Snapshots available. Various bug fixes (e.g. positive getart_limit
had several bugs) and new features like color the color-menu items while
selecting the color, per scope hide_inline_data via attributes, ALPN with
TLS (RFC 7301) and some new stuff in the serverrc:
- add_cmd_line_opts to add server specific cmd-line args
(e.g. -A4 to force auth and ipv4), see serverrc in tin(5) for allowed
cmd-line switches
- disabled_nntp_cmds to avoid certain nntp commands, this should be left
blank and only used if conneting to a buggy server (e.g. closing
connection on unknown command), see serverrc in tin(5) for nntp
commands.
- cache_overview_files like tinrc but server specifc
- compress_overview_files like tinrc but server specifc
The settings in serverrc have a higher priority than the tinrc/command-line
ones. There is no serverrc-menu yet.
If you like to e.g. cache oeverviews on some but not all servers,
enable the option in the serverrc for those you want caching and
leave it to off in the tinrc. be aware that if you change the
tinrc setting (cache_overview_files and/or compress_overview_files) via
the 'M'enu it _will_ be promoted to the serverrc (of the current server;
like the initial value if no serverrc setting was found).
I hope I didn't break things to badly.
