WendzelINNTPd 1.4.1

You can connect to such a sever with all the well known Usenet-Clients (like some eMail-Clients with additional Usenet functions like MS Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird).

The WendzelNNTPd is a simple IPv6-ready Usenet server with the main goal to be as easy to use as possible. WendzelNNTPd is also portable (Linux/*BSD/*nix/Win32) and comes with a Qt based GUI.

Major Features:

1. Tiny does only implement the most important NNTP commands + authentication commands
2. only about 3.650 lines of C and C++ code (for everything: the daemon, the admin tool and the GUI)
3. designed for small environments (at home, small companies, work-groups, customer support)
4. based on SQLite3 (MySQL support for medium/big size environments under development)
5. Easy to Use: The main target on the development of the WendzelNNTPd was to create an Usenet server everybody can use.
6. Qt GUI is available
7. Other Features: IPv6-ready (not the Windows version since Microsoft has no real IPv6 support)

Enhancements:

• Now storing the posting body in files what makes SQLite faster and prevents the need for a 2.0.0-mysql release since only using SQLite3 for meta information (header information, newsgroup meta data and the like).
• Instead of 120.000 bytes a posting can now have a much bigger size (16 kbyte header, like before) and a 20 M huge body (one can change this in src/include/wendzelnntpdpath.h)
• Improved some error handling in database.c/server.c - ported code to windows once again
• Tiny URL fix to new website (wendzel.de) in configure script

Requirements: none
