Description Dirk-Lüder Kreie 2004-06-05 13:43:40 UTC
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

  the hard links are correct.
- Documentation: INSTALL reminds the user to erase the distributor package
  first before doing a source install.
