   Hello Tommi!

   ### Version 1.5.10 (February 1, 2026)   
      
   #### Article Fetch Error Recovery   
   Fixed issue where a timeout fetching one article would cause all subsequent   
   articles   
   and newsgroups to fail with "cannot read from timed out object".   
      
   Detailed error logging: Now logs error type (timeout, connection error, etc.)   
   with newsgroup   
   context   
      
   Always update high water mark: Previously only updated when messages were   
   fetched successfully.   
   Now always updates to `end_article` to skip problematic articles on retry   
      
   Failed article tracking: Logs which article numbers failed for diagnostics   
      
   Example log output:   
   ```   
   ERROR - Timeout fetching article 1655389 from alt.usage.english: timed out   
   WARNING - Multiple connection errors, attempting reconnect to alt.usage.english   
   INFO - Reconnected successfully, continuing fetch from article 1655390   
   WARNING - Failed to fetch 1 article(s) from alt.usage.english: [1655389]   
   ```
