* Thu Feb 22 2024 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Use %patch -P N instead of deprecated %patchN.
* Thu Jul 14 2022 Michael Ströder <michael@stroeder.com>
- Update to version 2.6.5:
* A new step in INN development has been achieved with the migration of
the INN project to GitHub.
* An up-to-date nocem.ctl file is provided with this release. You
should manually update your nocem.ctl file with the new information
recorded about NoCeM issuers, and make sure the right PGP keys are
present on your system.
* Up-to-date control.ctl and moderators files are provided with this
release. You should manually update them (notably for the fido7.*
hierarchy).
* Added a stricter validation of article numbers given in NNTP commands
so that numbers superior to 2^31 are correctly considered invalid.
Thanks to Richard Kettlewell for the patch.
* Added a check in rc.news for the existence of the *pathrun* directory.
INN won't start until this directory is writable. Previously, it
bailed out quickly after starting, without clear logs about why it
failed.
* Fixed parallel builds using "make -j". Thanks to Richard Kettlewell
for the path.
* nnrpd now properly gathers timer statistics when a compression layer
is active.
* nnrpd now properly discards data received from a news client after a
timeout when a TLS layer is active. It previously tried to read
incoming data before closing the socket, leading to decoding errors
from an underlying compression or SASL layer.
* innfeed and ovdb_stat now generate status reports in valid HTML
syntax.
* Fixed a bug in the buffindexed overview that prevented it from working
on several systems, amongst them FreeBSD. Unsupported, and useless,
permission bits were given to semaphores.
* Fixed the detection of library paths at configure time: multilib
directories (lib32 or lib64) are now also used if they exist, even it
the system does not use multilib. It will notably fix the detection
of the OpenSSL 3.0.0 library.
* The *tlscertfile* parameter in inn.conf now permits the use of a
complete certificate chain, instead of necessarily having to use
* tlscafile* for additional certificates.
* Added support for the new OpenSSL 3.0.0 API, which deprecated a few
functions.
* The inn.conf default value for *tlsprotocols* no longer contains TLS
versions 1.0 and 1.1, which have been deprecated by RFC 8996.
* A new inn.conf parameter has been added to tune the length of the
queue of pending connections to innd, nnrpd and the "ovdb" overview
storage method: the *maxlisten* parameter now permits configuring
their listen backlog, whose previously hard-coded values were 128 for
nnrpd and 25 for the others, which was not high enough for some uses.
The default value is now 128 for all of them, and configurable in
inn.conf. Thanks to Kevin Bowling for the patch.
* The name of seven man pages for routines built in libinn(3) are now
prefixed with libinn_ so as not to consume namespace and conflict with
other packages (notably, the list(3) and uwildmat(3) man pages are now
named libinn_list(3) and libinn_uwildmat(3)).
* Other minor bug fixes and documentation improvements, notably a
revised installation checklist and a section summarizing the most used
configuration at the beginning of a few complex man pages.
- delete inn-2.6.4.diff patch
- add inn-2.6.5.diff patch instead

- Update to version 2.6.4:
+ Bug Fix: nnrpd now adapts the length of the DH parameter used
during a DHE key exchange so as to comply with the security
level OpenSSL 1.1.0 or later expects.
+ New Features:
* Added support for systemd notifications and socket
activation. Use of more features provided by systemd,
including more notifications, will come in future releases.
* cnfsstat now also returns information about retired CNFS
buffers: buffers mentioned in cycbuff.conf as a cycbuff but
not declared in a metacycbuff.
* Switch default innreport behaviour to the common practice of
externalizing CSS into a separate file. Its name can be
configured with the html_css_url parameter in innreport.conf.
If this parameter is unset, the default innreport.css file
name will be used and innreport will generate this CSS file
for you. Previously generated reports are kept untouched,
though, and will still contain inline CSS if you had not
already set the html_css_url parameter in previous INN
versions.
* sm can now read and store any number of articles given in
wire format on its standard input when both -s and -R are
used. Only native format was previously possible.
* Added new -a flag to rnews to disallow, if needed, the use of
additional unpackers from the rnews.libexec sub-directory of
pathbin (as set in inn.conf); only rnews and cunbatch will
then be recognized as valid batch commands.
* Added new -b flag to rnews to save rejected articles in the
bad sub-directory of pathincoming (as set in inn.conf).
Otherwise, rnews just logs and discards any articles that are
rejected or cannot be parsed for some reason.
* Added new -d flag to rnews to log via syslog the message-ID
and the Path header body of each article rejected as a
duplicate.
* Added new --enable-hardening-flags configure-time option,
enabled by default, to use hardening build flags like -fPIE
and -fstack-protector-strong. This option can easily be
disabled if the compiler or the platform does not support
them well. More hardening build flags will eventually be
added in future releases.
- Rename inn-2.6.3.diff to inn-2.6.4.diff.
- Use url in sources as far as possible.
* Wed Sep 22 2021 Johannes Segitz <jsegitz@suse.com>
- Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400). Modified:
* inn.service
* Mon Jul 12 2021 Steve Kowalik <steven.kowalik@suse.com>
- Switch BuildRequires to python3-devel, to build using Python 3.
* Sun Dec 20 2020 Callum Farmer <gmbr3@opensuse.org>
- Fixes for %_libexecdir changing to /usr/libexec (bsc#1174075)
* Mon Nov 09 2020 mls@suse.de
- rename the list.3 manpage to list-inn.3 as it conflicts with the
list.3 manpage from the man-pages 5.09 package [bnc#1178534]
* Sun Jun 14 2020 Lars Vogdt <lars@linux-schulserver.de>
- update to inn-2.6.3
+ Fixed the selection of the elliptic curve to use with OpenSSL 1.1.0 or
later; NIST P-256 was enforced instead of using the most secure curve.
+ A new inn.conf parameter has been added to fine-tune the cipher suites
to use with TLS 1.3: the *tlsciphers13* now permits configuring them.
A separate cipher suite configuration parameter is needed for TLS 1.3
because TLS 1.3 cipher suites are not compatible with TLS 1.2, and
vice-versa. In order to avoid issues where legacy TLS 1.2 cipher
suite configuration configured in the *tlsciphers* parameter would
inadvertently disable all TLS 1.3 cipher suites, the inn.conf
configuration has been separated out.
+ Fixed a regression since INN 2.6.1 that prevented articles with
internationalized header fields (that is to say encoded in UTF-8) from
being posted.
+ Support for Python 3 has been added to INN. Embedded Python filtering
and authentication hooks for innd and nnrpd can now use version 3.3.0
or later of the Python interpreter. In the 2.x series, version 2.3.0
or later is still supported.
+ When configuring INN with the --with-python flag, the "PYTHON"
environment variable, when set, is used to select the interpreter to
embed. Otherwise, it is searched in standard paths.
+ In case you change the Python interpreter to embed, make sure that the
Python scripts you use are written in the expected syntax for that
version of the Python interpreter. Notably, buffer objects have been
replaced with memoryview objects in Python 3, and UTF-8 encoding now
really matters for string literals (Python 3 uses bytes and Unicode
objects).
+ INN documentation and samples of Python hooks have been updated to
provide more examples.
+ When a Python or Perl filter hook rejects an article, innd now
mentions the reason in response to CHECK and TAKETHIS commands.
Previously, the reason was given only for the IHAVE command.
+ nnrpd now properly logs the hostname of clients whose connection
failed owing to an issue during the negotiation of a TLS session or
high load average.
