Threads with unread watched articles are now
underlined. A visualization option that lets you
hide threads without watched articles was added. A
bug that caused XPN not to kill old articles
reapplying rules was fixed. A bug that caused
crashes when using ID with extended chars was
fixed.
The article management was rewritten, so now the
articles are stored in an SQLite database. Article
management now is faster and easier. Your
xpn-1.0.0 groups and articles will be
automatically imported and converted to the new
format. A filter toolbar was added that lets you
filter the articles by Subject, From, and Body
content. The algorithm used to build the
discussion threads was improved. The menus and
some windows were revisited. Automatic download of
headers periodically was added. Some minor fixes
and refinements were made.
This release adds basic mult-iserver support. This change has required some modifications to the groups db format; in order to keep your subscriptions, you need to export to a newsrc file from XPN-0.6.5 and reimport it in XPN-0.7.0. It is possible to use Function keys for customized key bindings. The command used to test the connection in has been modified order to prevent hamster hang-ups. A bug that caused XPN to crash trying to export newsrc file with empty groups subscribed has been fixed. A bug in the "Apply Scoring and Actions Rules" feature that caused XPN crashes trying to apply the !kill rule has been fixed.
It is now possible to customize keyboard shortcuts, choose the headers to show in the article pane, and reapply scoring/action rules. Two new layouts have been added. Several bugs have been fixed.
