Newts Description

Newts is a modern, actively-maintained implementation of notesfiles, a concept which is half Usenet and half bulletin board. Newts project is a modern, actively-maintained implementation of notesfiles, a concept which is half Usenet and half bulletin board.Notesfiles were developed in the later 1970s at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Newts attempts to closely resemble the functionality of the Unix port of notesfiles from UIUC, and is compatible with the data files used by that port.Newts is written for Unix-like systems, and is known to run on various flavors of Linux, Mac OS X, and probably most other Unixes.Future versions of Newts will include a separate daemon to manage multiple local and network connections, additional backends, and additional clients.What's New in This Release:· Various memory-related and segfault bugfixes in the utilities and main client.· This release contains a first draft of a new client API, but that API is not yet recommended for public use.
