    I've released nn-6.7.4. (Yes, it's back from hibernation.)

    The main user-visible change is a new variable "nntp_forceauth".
    It can be set either in the init file or on the command-line in order
    to force nn to authenticate, even when the nntp server doesn't request it

    This allows nn to work with places like eternal-september that require
    auth for full access, but don't actually ask for it.

    Other changes:
    Documented nntp-forceauth, nntp-user, and nntp-password
    Disabled :debug in FreeBSD as sbrk is no longer supported
    Changed getline() to nn_getline() to avoid namespace collisions
    added linux to list of systems that need sys/ioctl.h not stropts.h
    changed logfle chmod to 644
    changed MAILX to /usr/bin/mailx for linux
    various code cleanup
    fixed many typos/misspelled words
    use xmakefile.gcc to work around gmake brain damage
    worked around gcc's -fno-common default


    It's available at www.nndev.org
