[jira] Commented: (NET-298) Article numbers should be treated as LONG instead of INT in NNTP

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-298?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13003590#comment-13003590 ] 

Sebb commented on NET-298:
--------------------------

Note that changing the counts etc from int to long is an API change, so could not be done in a 2.x release.
