Log Message:
Update "inn" package to version 2.4.3. Changes since version 2.4.1:
- Previous versions of INN had an optimization for handling XHDR
  Newsgroups that used the Xref header from overview.  While this does
  make the command much faster, it doesn't produce accurate results and
  breaks the NNTP protocol, so this optimization has been removed.
- Fixed a bug in innd that allowed it to accept articles with duplicated
  headers if the header occurred an odd number of times.  Modified the
  programs for rebuilding overview to use the last Xref header if there
  are multiple ones to avoid problems with spools that contain such
  invalid articles.
- Fixed yet another problem with verifying that a user has permissions
  to approve posts to a moderated group.  Thanks, Jens Schlegel.
- Increase the send and receive buffer on the Unix domain socket used by
  ctlinnd.  This should allow longer replies (particularly for innstat)
  on platforms with very low default Unix domain socket buffer sizes.
- rnews's handling of articles with nul characters, NNTP errors, header
  problems, and deferrals has been significantly improved.
- Thomas Parmelan added support to send-uucp for specifying the funnel
  or exploder site to flush for feeds managed through one and fixed a
  problem with picking up old stranded work files.
- INN is now licensed under a less restrictive license (about as
  minimally restrictive as possible shy of public domain), and the
  clause similar to the old BSD advertising clause has been dropped.
- make install and make update now always install the newly built
  binaries, rather than only installing them if the modification times
  are newer.  This is the behavior that people expect.  make install now
  also automatically builds a new (empty) history database if one
  doesn't already exist.
- The embedded Tcl filter code has been disabled (and will be removed
  entirely in the next major release of INN).  It hasn't worked for some
  time and causes innd crashes if compiled in (even if not used).  If
  someone wants to step forward and maintain it, I recommend starting
  from scratch and emulating the Perl and Python filters.
- ctlinnd should now successfully handle messages from INN up to the
  maximum allowable packet size in the protocol, fixing problems sites
  with many active peers were having with innstat output.
- Overview generation has been fixed in both makehistory and innd to
  follow the rules in the latest NNTP draft rather than just replacing
  special characters with spaces.  This means that the unfolding of
  folded header lines will not introduce additional, incorrect
  whitespace in the overview data.
- nnrpd now uniformly responds with a 480 or 502 status code to attempts
  to read a newsgroup to which the user does not have access, depending
  on whether the user has authenticated.  Previously, it returned a 411
  status code, claiming the group didn't exist, which confuses the
  reactive authentication capability of news readers.
- If a user is not authorized to approve articles (using the A access
  control in readers.conf), articles that include Approved headers will
  be rejected even if posted to unmoderated groups.  Some other site may
  consider that group to be moderated.
- The configuration parser used for readers.conf and others now
  correctly handles "#" inside quoted strings and is more robust against
  unmatched double quotes.
- Messages mailed to moderators had two spaces after the colons in the
  headers, rather than one.  This bug has been fixed.
- A bug that could cause heap corruption and random crashes in innd if
  INN were compiled with Python support has been fixed.
- Some problems with innd's tracking of article size and enforcement of
  the configured maximum article size have been fixed.
- pgpverify will now correctly verify signatures generated by GnuPG and
  better supports GnuPG as the PGP implementation.
- INN's code should now be more 64-bit clean in its handling of size_t,
  pointer differences, and casting of pointers, correcting problems that
  showed up on 64-bit platforms like AMD64.
- Improved the error reporting in the history database code, in inews,
  in controlchan, and in expire.
- Many other more minor bug fixes, optimization improvements, and
  documentation fixes.
