This is the fifth release of knews, a threaded nntp newsreader
for X. You can find it at:
http://www.matematik.su.se/users/kjj/knews.html
ftp://ftp.matematik.su.se/pub/kjj/knews-0.9.4.tar.gz
To install it you need an ANSI C compiler, the X libraries of
version X11R4 or greater and an OS supporting POSIX+sockets.
Here are some of the features:
+ True threading, with a graphical tree for the threads.
+ Some features to improve things for people reading over slow lines:
* Background threading.
* Doesn't have to read the active file.
* Caching of thread information.
* A mechanism for reading the spooldir.
+ Kill file support, with the ability to mark interesting articles,
subjects and threads with color blobs.
+ Regular expression searching in articles and the newsgroup list.
+ Different fonts and colors for quoted text and headers in articles.
+ Full support for reading MIME articles, except message/partial.
+ Very configurable.
What's new in 0.9.4?
+ Sorting of the threads.
+ Clicking on URLs.
+ Fast way to add stuff to the kill file.
+ A listing of the groups before posting.
+ Complete reworking of the per server and per group configuration.
+ Many small enhancements, see the CHANGES file for details.
