INN 2.5.5

(This release has actually been ready for a while, but there were a few technical difficulties with getting it copied up to the right places, and then I got very distracted by various life stuff.)

This is the first new release of INN in about a year, and hopefully the last in the 2.5.x series. A beta release of INN 2.6.0 will be announced shortly (probably tomorrow).

As is typical for bug-fix releases, this release rolls up a bunch of small bug fixes that have been made over the past year. The most notable changes include new inn.conf parameters to fine-tune the SSL/TLS configuration for nnrpd (generally to tighten it over the OpenSSL defaults), a few new flags to various utilities, multiple improvements to pullnews, and support for properly stopping cnfsstat and innwatch if INN is started and then quickly stopped.

As always, thanks to Julien ÉLIE for preparing this release and doing most of the maintenance work on INN!

You can get the latest version from the official ISC download page or from my personal INN pages. The latter also has links to the full changelog and the other INN documentation.
