From: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=239678 * 1.9.54, 2004-05-20 ### INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES - Consistency: The lockfile timeout for checkgroups has changed to five seconds, checkgroups used to wait indefinitely. ### BUGFIXES - Bugfix: fetchnews and texpire would delete a lockfile held by another process when there were problems reading the configuration file. - Bugfix: when groupexpire settings were used, their memory was leaked at program exit. - Robustness: texpire is a lot more careful about mids files. Johannes Berg reported aborts related to corrupt mids files. mids files are removed at start of any leafnode program. - Documentation: Some minor formatting problems in the manual pages were corrected. Reported by Laurent Fousse. ### CHANGES - Logging: the number of duplicates that texpire has deleted is now printed. - Feature: The maximum time that programs wait for a lock file can now be configured through "timeout_lock" in the configuration file and overridden by the LN_LOCK_TIMEOUT environment variable, to simplify running fetchnews and texpire from a cron job. A workaround was suggested by Dirk-L
