Diablo is a backbone news transit system, designed to replace INND on backbone machines. The transit part of Diablo is well established and should work flawlessly. Note that diablo now has a reader part, since version 1.15.

The main purpose of this release is a security fix for feeder authentication that allowed hostname spoofing. This problem exists in all previous versions of Diablo until 2.1-REL, including the 1.xx releases. Upgrading to this release is strongly recommended as there is no patch for versions prior to this release (yet). Other changes since 2.0-REL, include a fix to multiple spool directory usage in feeder/spool, fixed idle/session timeout in reader, control messages retrieved in reader, added compile-time auth option to allow CDB lookups for reader usernames, improved (and unified) rc.news script for feeder and reader, optional new overview expiry method based on calculating the article count from the number of articles and age of articles, use of '400' response when reader client is allowed to connect later, and many other minor bugfixes.
