Choice of news Server owners can now offer their users both threaded and messageboard (1.2.3 style) news.

Fixes:
Issue: An error message occurs when a user attempts to create a file with an apostrophe in it. Solution: The apostrophe is replaced with another character (dash), allowing the file to be created.
Issue: Can’t work with a remote file with a filename greater than 32 characters on a Mac. Solution: The name will be truncated during download.
Issue: An exploit where a malicious user can log on invisibly to a server. Solution: Fixed, no invisible users allowed.
Issue: Transport related error Solution: Functional banners. Error was caused by client attempting to connect to non-existent banner servers.
