Here is the final list of features/bugs fixes for NNTP 1.5.10. It has
passed alpha testing (on BNEWS and CNEWS) and is now entering beta. I
expect that beta will be smooth and it will release shortly after
September 1st.

	Fixes to spawn.c to allow it to work correctly with CNEWS.
	[All CNEWS sites....Sorry, guys and gals!]
	Fixes to prevent mysterious chowning of directories by nntpd.
	[dave at tis.com]
	Corrections to code in misc.c so that #undef SYSLOG will still
	compile. [rb at newton.physics.purdue.edu]
	Added more precision to time reports. [flee at shire.cs.psu.edu]
	Modified nntpsend.sh to use the correct test flag. 
	[zjat02 at trc.amoco.com (Jon A. Tankersley)]
	Fixed a bug in check_ng that caused the server to close down
	and abort on occasion. [Jyrki Kuoppala <jkp at cs.hut.fi>]
	Fixed a bug in access.c that might cause the first line in the
	nntp_access file to be skipped. [Jari Helminen <hja at otax.tky.hut.fi>]
	Fix to mini-inews to insure that variables are being set before they
	are used. [muller at ucsd.edu]
	Fix so that SETPROCTITLE option will not destroy environmental and
	arguement vectors. [ken at hpsdlz.sdd.hp.com, leres at ftp.ee.lbl.gov]
	Support for mmap() system call in nntpxmit. [david at elroy.jpl.nasa.gov,
	stevo at elroy.jpl.nasa.gov]
	Changes for hpux so that SETPROCTITLE will work and flexnames can be
	used if supported. [pk at unidoct.chemietechnik.uni-dortmund.de,
	ken at hpdlz.sdd.hp.com]
	LOAD now supported when nntp is started by inetd. [mcooper at usc.edu]
