Here's what's compatable between the versions: ============================================== * The Score file in ~/News/ works as-is. (except for an Xref crash that will be fixed in 0.92) * Exporting a newsrc file from 0.14.x to ~/.pan2/newsrc-N, where N matches the id attribute in ~/.pan2/servers.xml, works. * Message cache files, once copied from ~/.pan/data/messages/cache into ~/.pan2/article-cache, should work? Here's what's not compatable between the versions: ================================================== * The 0.14.x sub/unsub files. But this is a good thing, since these binary pan-only files have been replaced with stanard, human-readable newsrc files, which *are* compatable with 0.14.x. * tasks.xml: again, it was a choice of replacing a pan-specific file format with a standard one, in this case nzb. * The headers files. They are completely incompatable: the new files can hold multiple news servers (which is why .pan2 only has one header file per group, rather than one per group per server) and are (more) human-readable and human-editable. _______________________________________________ Pan-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-devel
