devel has been merged into master for rslight:
https://gitlab.com/rslight-public/rocksolid-light
This is version 0.9.157

Below are some more important commits.

It is important to restart your nntp servers(s) with this upgrade.
touch <config_dir>/nntp.reload should do that.
This step is also now included in the debian-upgrade script.

Article number tracking for remote servers is now in a serialzed file,
no longer a flat file. It is working well. You may notice in
spoolnews.log
on the first run a lot of 'Duplicate' notifications. This is to be
expected
as the serialized file is written the first time. Once caught up, which
doesn't take long, testing on my servers shows that spoolnews.php runs
at least 3-4 times as fast, and much more cleanly (less dupes, etc. in
log) than
previously. This should reduce cpu and bandwidth use.

This is all done from an XOVER query to the remote server. It is not
actually
downloading all these articles.

There has always been an issue with the (old) newsportal code somehow
wiping out
a group and restarting from only recent articles. Rslight still
maintained all
the articles, but newsportal did not display them. This is now
automatically detected if it happens, and is handled automatically.

Forward interBBS mail to email feature has been added. It is OFF by
default.
Notify admin of things such as low disk space by email has been added
(OFF by default)

I'm sure there are also some fun new bugs!

Fix checking for group count mismatch between newsportal and
rslight.
If newsportal (web interface) and rslight (backend) get out of sync,
this auto-detects that and fixes it.
