Najlepiej zapodam za autorem z "Version History":

- MacSOUP now uses registration numbers for registered users.  Please
read the manual chapter "How to register" for details.  The unregistered
version has no limitations or disabled functions except that it displays
a dialog box at startup (which will interfere with unattended downloads
controlled by AppleScript), and the "X-Mailer" or "X-Newsreader" header
of your outgoing messages shows that your version is unregistered.

- Added a "Print Message" command.

- When you're editing a reply to another message or article, you can
open the original message (the one you're replying to) by choosing "Back
to Original Message" from the Message menu (command-B).

- Added a command to cancel your own articles (i.e. to withdraw them
from the server).  Please read the new manual chapter about this topic
for all the details.

- You can now add custom headers to your outgoing messages.  The
contents of the "Mail Headers" and "News Headers" fields from Internet
Config are added to all your messages (as long as they are syntactically
valid, as far as MacSOUP can tell), but you can also edit these headers
on a per-message basis by clicking the Options button in the editor
window.

- Added the functionality of ICeTEe 2 (by Michael Sch�rig,
<http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs90z/>): if you hold down the option key
while command-clicking an URL, the URL is not opened, but sent to your
bookmark helper application.

- Rudimentary support for "text/enriched" messages: these messages are
converted to text/plain, i.e. the formatting tags are stripped.

- Supports the display of icons stored in X-Faces headers.

- Newsgroup names in the main window and the "All Groups" window can now
be copied to the clipboard.

- In earlier versions, when a news index file had to be rebuilt you
would lose all headers (without body) in that group, as well as all
article status information, i.e. which articles you had read, which were
tagged or locked etc.  MacSOUP now keeps additional data files in its
database which allow it to rebuild index files without losing
information.  (Note: If the database was created with an earlier version
of MacSOUP, some older articles that have been deleted or purged may
reappear when an index file is rebuilt.  They will appear as unread, so
they're easy to spot.)

- If you hold down the shift, command, and option keys while opening a
settings file, MacSOUP asks you whether you want to have the news index
files rebuilt.  This may be helpful if you suspect database corruption.

- The "Followup" and "Reply by Mail" menu commands now show their
keyboard shortcuts (F and R, respectively, without the command key).

- When MacSOUP complains about a missing or incorrect Internet Config
setting, there's a button that takes you directly to that setting in
Internet Config.  It's ok to edit IC settings while MacSOUP is open (but
don't forget to save changes).

- Various bugs fixed.
