Bug fixes:
* slrn enters all groups when read_active is on
Fixed 2001-08-27
When read_active is on, slrn still enters all groups to find the
number of unread articles, which slows down startup considerably.
* force_authentication is ignored when re-connecting
Fixed 2001-08-27
When re-connecting, slrn only sends authentication data if the server
requests it, even if force_authentication is set.
* Request for authentication is not always recognized
Fixed 2001-08-30
In some rare cases, slrn does not notice that it needs to send
authentication data, although the server requests it. This can even
damage your newsrc file.
* Parse "news:" URLs enclosed in angle brackets correctly
Fixed 2001-08-30
When a "news:" URL is enclosed in angle brackets, slrn regards the
closing bracket as a part of it.
