Pan Update

Gee yet another new snapshot.
  • server removal
  • server test is, I think, complete
TODO:
  • group test
  • vserver test
  • article test
  • connect threading to import (trivial)
  • add folder removal
Things to be decided by the Pan developers:
  • are my changes to acache OK?
  • are my changes to message-identifier OK?
  • change decode to work with new setup.
  • method to add extra headers to article, sometime after 1st working db version is released.
  • I've forgotten the rest.

Pan Update

I just put up a new snapshot.
  • bug fixes
  • start of a test of server add,remove,&update
  • start of a test of auto-import. It currently times the import & prints out the read/total counts for folders & subscribed groups. It won't hurt your existing installation, but it's NOT meant for inclusion in the main pan source since it can't be made portable.

Pan Update

I finally found the time to post a new snaphot. The code has some important changes.
  • bug fixes
  • support for adding articles
  • support for retreiveing extra headers
  • import of old data appears to work
  • retrieving list of vservers works
  • retrieving list of groups in a vserver works (tested folders & subscribed)
  • getting article counts from groups works
The current code is a big improvement since it actually works, at least the parts I've tested so far. I still need to test vservers, servers, articles, & threading as well as coding group & extra header addition.

Pan Status

I know, I said I wasn't going to work on the back end for a while. Curiosity can be really anoying at times. I decided to find out if my auto-import feature worked. In the process I've located a lot of bugs, most of which I've fixed. In fact it seems to be working, at lest I get the correct numbers for my folders and newsgroups article counts. To do this I've performed limited testing of vserver and group code. Next I need to test article loading. After that is more vserver and group testing. The auto-import code tests article addition. Once I've added documentation to the new code and a few other things, I'll post a new snapshot.

Pan Update

I've got a new snapshot ready. This one has a nearly feature complete base. And the list of upates are.... in no particular order:
  • article threading
  • article deletion
  • newrc support
  • update message-check
  • various fixes
Base does compile, of course the rest of pan won't. Now if someone would be kind enough to work on the test suite....
