Since 2.19, Newsboat treated HTTP code 304 (Not Modified) as error, and
retried the download up to the limit specified by `download-retries`.
The default for that setting is 1, so no harm done, but if the user
changed it, Newsboat turned into a request-spamming machine.

Today’s release fixes that. We’re also making point releases for
everything starting from 2.19 all the way up to the previous release,
2.36. If you can upgrade to 2.37, great. If you can't, please, please
upgrade to the closest point release you can.

There are a bunch of other fixes and improvements in 2.37 as well, but
they’re less important, so find them in the changelog.

Hello,
It seems many of the linked release versions return a 403 error so the 2.37 tarball can't be downloaded. Is something misconfigured on newsboat.org?
Thanks.

Indeed it was! I forgot to update the file mode bits after uploading the
files. It's all fixed now; sorry for the mess.
