Potentially Fatal Bugs
|
While we have attempted to provide the highest quality software we can,
there are always bugs in any complex application, and it is best if you
know about them rather than stumble on them yourself. This is the
exhaustive list of known bugs in NewsRog. We will be addressing them as
soon as possible, particularly the fatal errors.
Please report new bugs to us: see Contact
for more information.

If an article is displayed using this filter, then the
display filter object is deleted, and lastly, memory
pressure forces an expunge of the library, it is possible
for the system to crash. This should be a very rare
combination of events however.

NewsRog Bug |
Group Window |
At times, articles displayed in the group window are
unavailable from the news server. The expire
option in the group window menu can be used to force an
expire of old group articles, but at times even this
leaves unavailable articles. |

UUDecode Display Filter |
On screens of less than 256 colors, the datatypes display of
inline images is often blank. Workaround: switch to a 256 or
truecolor (16 or 24) bit display mode. NewsRog is designed to
run optimally in at least 1024x768x16-bit. |
