I looked, the diffs are not there.

Curious that you had to hack this, since named papers were a config
option in 1.3, and 100% working in 1.4.

There was an fd-eating bug that could happen if you flushed or reloaded
often. I don't know if it made it out into production code, but it was
fixed in 1.4 (and also perhaps in 1.3). As for the ChangeLog, please
see include/patchlevel.h?
If you sent these changes to me I would have worked on incorporating them
and supporting them as part of the INN source base. As it stands now,
this will have to wait for 1.5. Sigh, don't people contact authors any
more?
