The new version is a rewrite branch, likely rather different than current CVS, froom what I've gathered. What features (and bugs) it has remain to be seen. That said, yeah, lacking a get new groups option would be, I'd say, a bug, unless it checks automatically for them, in the name of usability. I'd still consider that a regression, however, if the menu item was missing and there was no way to opt-out of automatic checks. Some folks don't need or want an automatic check, and instead run entirely without a list of groups on their main server(s), transfering the subscribed list from a "signup" server, which can then be deleted, once they have all the subscribed groups they want in their main server, without the overall list of groups. This might be particularly true of a young (6-ish) kid's login, setup by a parent to only list nature picture groups and perhaps a couple cartoon groups, and the like. I know of a parent that has that sort of setup. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
