Description Starz McCllelan 2004-06-18 22:16:30 UTC
004-06-17 v0.27:

    * Cache file format change, so switch default NGETHOME to ~/.nget5. (Upgrade should be as simple as "mv ~/.nget4 ~/.nget5; rm ~/.nget5/*,cache*")
    * Don't store fileid codes in the cache file, instead calculate them when needed. (Can halve size of gzipped cache files.)
    * Change fileid calculation for single-part posts to include the message-id, fixes problem with multiple posts with the same subject/author not downloading when using -K.
    * Support IPv6 if available. (Can force off with configure --disable-ipv6)
    * If a hostname resolves to multiple ip addresses, try as many as needed to find one that works.
    * Add NGETRC environment variable to specify alternate config file directly.
    * Extend removal of identical dupe downloaded files to also cover incomplete/broken files. (Based on patch from Bram)
    * Add "update" and "updateage" -R keywords to select based upon when items were added to the cache.
    * Fix par2 handling not finding incomplete/broken files with non-lowercase names.
    * Fix compile with gcc-3.4.
