Subject: Leafwa-0.4.2 - Web-based admin tool for Leafnode
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 19:51:16 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I have put leafwa-0.4.2 on my website at
<http://www.vision25.demon.co.uk/oss/leafwa/intro.html>
Leafwa is a web-based administration tool for Leafnode. (Leafnode
is a small nntp server for "leaf nodes" or small sites; it's often
used in Unix systems to implement offline newsreading).
Leawfa's main features are the ability to subscribe and unsubscribe from
newsgroups, to search for newsgroup names on a regular expression, and
to review/edit unforwarded messages in the news queue.
Version 0.4.2 is a major change over the previous release (0.3.1).
New features include:
* The ability to delete messages in the news queue.
* When looking at a message in the news queue, hyperlinks to the
previous and next messages.
* Ability to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the Leafnode mailing
list.
* Extra help information (though this is still incomplete).
* Works with the newer version of PHP in SuSE6.4 (PHP 3.0.15 -
Leafwa-0.3.1 worked with PHP 3.0.6).
You may use Leafwa under the terms of the GNU Public License.
