 #
+#               December 2023:
+#               Julien Élie fixed the computation of the Bytes header field,
+#               the use of trailing LF in rnews batches (-r option), and
+#               trailing CRLF in generated header fields.

 #               February-March 2023:
 #               Julien Élie added TLS support for both downstream and upstream
 #               servers.  Also made pullnews robust on socket timeout and lock
