1 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
3 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
4 function num_digits into utils.c
6 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
8 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
9 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
10 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
12 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
14 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
15 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
16 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
17 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
18 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
19 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
20 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
21 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
23 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
25 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
26 Content-Disposition header.
28 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
30 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
31 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
32 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
33 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
34 Build 10.0.3416, in particular, doesn't see attachments in
35 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
36 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
37 users to easily accomodate that by adding
38 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
40 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
42 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
43 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
45 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
47 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
49 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
50 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
52 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
53 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
55 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
57 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
58 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
59 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
60 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
61 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
64 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
66 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
67 widths, restoring right justification feature
69 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
71 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
72 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
73 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
75 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
78 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
80 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
81 handling multi column characters.
83 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
85 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
87 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
89 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
90 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
93 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
95 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
97 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
99 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
102 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
104 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
107 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
109 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
110 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
111 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
112 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
114 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
116 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
117 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
118 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
119 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
120 where configure's autodetection fails.
122 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
124 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
125 configure script change.
127 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
129 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
130 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
131 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
134 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
136 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
137 the context is only read once.
139 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
141 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
142 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
144 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
146 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
147 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
149 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
150 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
153 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
154 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
157 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
159 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
160 vi isn't found during build.
162 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
164 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
165 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
167 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
168 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
169 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
171 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
173 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
174 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
176 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
177 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
178 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
179 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
182 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
183 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
184 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
186 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
187 entry in the context file.
189 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
191 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
192 problems on some systems
194 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
195 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
197 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
199 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
200 sendmail isn't found during build.
202 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
204 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
206 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
208 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
209 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
211 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
212 references to the web page and mailing list locations
214 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
215 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
217 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
220 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
222 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
223 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
224 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
226 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
227 was configured with --enable-apop.
229 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
230 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
231 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
233 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
234 new versions of flex.
236 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
237 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
238 doesn't guess wrongly.
240 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
242 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
243 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
245 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
246 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
248 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
249 files with numbers as names
251 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
253 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
255 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
257 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
259 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
260 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
262 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
264 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
267 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
268 test/report error writing to stdout
270 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
272 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
274 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
275 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
276 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
278 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
279 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
280 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
282 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
284 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
285 character set used by the current locale
287 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
288 message's filename overflows an int when converted
290 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
291 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
293 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
295 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
298 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
300 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
301 from Michael Richardson.
303 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
304 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
306 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
308 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
309 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
311 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
313 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
314 find sub-parts of the specified part
316 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
318 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
319 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
320 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
321 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
322 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
323 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
324 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
327 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
329 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
330 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
331 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
334 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
335 refiling with -src option.
337 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
339 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
341 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
343 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
344 mailpath being overwritten.
346 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
348 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
349 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
350 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
351 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
352 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
353 reinitializes the tmp file string.
355 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
356 if a format string was read from the profile.
358 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
359 path for the external hook.
361 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
363 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
364 another location for ndbm.
366 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
368 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
370 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
372 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
375 136976 - Handle binary content messages
376 143427 - mh-format.man typo
377 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
378 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
379 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
380 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
381 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
382 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
383 181867 - typo for nmh.man
385 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
387 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
388 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
389 contitional code which will result in cached data to
390 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
391 and parse on the first use.
392 * Remove some unused flag bits.
394 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
396 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
397 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
399 #578 - repl leaks umask
400 #1393 - sortm core dumps
401 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
402 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
403 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
405 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
406 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
408 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
410 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
411 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
413 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
415 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
416 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
417 to docs/README.about.
419 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
421 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
423 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
424 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
425 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
426 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
429 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
431 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
432 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
433 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
434 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
435 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
436 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
439 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
440 summary configure prints out.
442 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
443 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
444 subjectively more readable) format.
446 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
448 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
451 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
453 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
454 19xx when it's not necessary.
456 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
458 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
459 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
462 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
463 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
464 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
465 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
466 the man pages correctly.
468 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
470 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
472 * Finished manpages ali-prev
474 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
475 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
476 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
479 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
480 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
481 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
482 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
484 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
486 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
487 the formatting rules I've been using.
491 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
493 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
494 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
495 used in the manpages.
497 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
498 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
499 read in the contents of the file as the variable
502 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
503 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
504 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
505 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
506 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
507 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
508 bold flags and italicized parameters.
510 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
512 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
513 --with-locking option.
515 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
516 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
517 information was not being communicated to the
518 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
519 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
520 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
521 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
522 undefined symbols problems.
524 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
525 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
526 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
527 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
528 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
529 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
530 for a genuine krb4 installation.
532 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
534 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
535 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
537 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
539 * Made a new ./configure option called
540 "--with-locking" that allows the file
541 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
542 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
544 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
545 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
546 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
547 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
548 the user that these are the valid options, and
549 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
552 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
554 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
555 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
556 committed to supporting flex only, since
557 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
558 string, as well as other problems documented
559 below and on nmh-workers.
561 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
562 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
563 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
566 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
567 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
569 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
571 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
572 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
573 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
575 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
577 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
578 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
580 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
582 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
583 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
584 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
585 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
586 couldn't correctly identify them.
588 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
590 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
591 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
592 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
593 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
594 not depending on an external archive.
596 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
597 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
598 mts/generic is no longer built.
600 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
602 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
603 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
604 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
605 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
606 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
607 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
608 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
609 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
611 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
613 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
614 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
617 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
619 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
620 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
621 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
624 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
625 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
626 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
627 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
629 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
630 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
631 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
632 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
633 merged into the smtp code).
635 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
636 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
637 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
640 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
641 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
642 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
643 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
644 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
645 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
646 in the appropriate Makefile.in
648 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
650 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
651 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
652 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
653 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
654 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
655 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
656 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
657 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
658 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
659 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
660 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
662 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
664 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
665 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
666 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
667 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
668 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
669 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
670 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
671 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
672 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
674 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
676 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
677 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
680 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
682 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
683 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
685 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
687 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
688 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
689 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
690 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
692 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
694 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
695 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
696 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
697 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
698 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
700 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
701 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
703 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
705 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
707 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
708 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
709 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
710 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
712 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
713 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
714 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
715 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
717 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
718 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
719 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
720 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
722 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
723 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
724 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
726 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
728 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
729 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
730 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
731 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
732 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
733 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
736 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
737 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
739 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
740 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
742 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
744 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
746 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
748 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
749 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
750 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
751 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
753 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
755 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
756 be easily changed from "," to "#".
758 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
760 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
762 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
763 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
766 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
768 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
769 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
770 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
771 but not for the subsequent data stream.
773 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
775 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
776 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
777 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
778 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
779 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
781 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
783 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
784 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
786 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
787 cat, also define lorder as echo.
789 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
791 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
793 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
794 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
795 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
797 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
799 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
802 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
803 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
805 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
807 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
808 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
810 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
812 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
813 inc does not need to be setgid.
815 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
817 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
818 library, as found on Debian systems.
820 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
822 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
824 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
825 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
826 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
827 case-insensitivity flag.
829 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
831 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
832 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
834 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
836 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
837 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
838 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
839 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
840 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
841 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
842 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
843 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
844 getting moved aside).
846 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
847 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
849 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
851 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
852 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
853 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
854 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
855 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
856 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
857 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
858 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
859 the prototype, but never sets it.
861 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
862 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
863 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
864 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
865 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
866 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
868 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
869 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
870 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
871 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
872 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
874 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
876 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
877 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
880 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
881 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
882 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
883 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
884 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
885 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
886 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
888 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
890 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
892 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
893 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
894 this works on other systems.
896 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
898 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
899 checks for write failures.
901 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
903 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
905 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
908 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
910 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
912 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
914 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
915 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
918 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
920 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
921 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
922 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
923 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
925 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
927 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
928 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
931 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
932 as well as Makefiles.
934 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
936 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
937 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
938 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
939 should make maintainability easier.
941 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
942 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
943 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
944 whatever you know works.
946 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
948 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
949 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
950 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
952 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
953 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
954 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
955 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
957 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
958 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
959 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
961 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
962 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
963 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
964 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
965 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
967 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
968 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
969 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
970 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
971 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
972 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
973 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
974 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
975 from the BSD version.
977 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
978 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
979 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
981 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
984 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
987 This happens on solaris:
990 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
991 No manual entry for mts.conf.
995 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
997 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
998 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1000 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1002 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1003 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1004 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1005 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1006 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1007 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1008 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1009 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1010 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1011 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1012 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1014 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1015 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1016 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1017 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1018 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1019 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1022 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1023 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1024 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1025 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1026 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1028 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1029 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1031 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1033 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1034 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1035 to stdin, such as exmh.
1037 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1038 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1039 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1042 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1044 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1045 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1046 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1047 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1048 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1049 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1050 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1052 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1054 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1055 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1057 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1059 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1060 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1062 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1064 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1067 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1068 along with any -host or -user option.
1070 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1072 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1074 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1075 process was fresh in my mind.
1077 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1079 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1080 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1082 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1084 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1086 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1089 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1090 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1091 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1092 part of the program's name.
1094 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1095 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1098 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1100 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1101 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1102 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1103 single-character format would cause programs using this
1104 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1105 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1106 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1107 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1110 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1112 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1113 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1114 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1115 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1116 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1117 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1119 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1120 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1121 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1122 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1123 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1124 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1125 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1126 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1128 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1129 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1130 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1131 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1132 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1133 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1134 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1135 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1136 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1137 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1139 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1141 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1142 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1144 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1145 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1147 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1152 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1154 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1155 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1156 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1157 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1159 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1160 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1161 problem in the routine.
1163 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1165 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1166 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1168 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1169 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1170 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1173 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1175 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1176 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1177 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1178 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1179 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1180 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1181 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1182 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1183 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1184 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1186 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1188 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1189 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1190 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1191 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1192 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1193 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1194 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1195 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1196 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1197 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1198 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1199 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1201 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1202 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1203 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1204 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1205 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1207 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1210 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1212 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1213 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1214 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1215 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1218 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1220 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1222 * Applied, after some finessing,
1223 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1225 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1227 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1229 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1230 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1231 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1232 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1234 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1236 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1237 forgetting to do so!).
1239 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1240 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1241 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1242 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1243 arguments to enable all three types.
1245 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1246 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1248 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1249 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1250 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1251 updated copy of mts.conf.
1253 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1255 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1256 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1257 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1259 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1261 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1263 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1264 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1265 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1267 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1268 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1269 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1271 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1272 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1273 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1275 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1277 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1279 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1281 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1283 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1284 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1286 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1287 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1288 certain suffix to run properly.
1290 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1291 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1292 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1294 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1295 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1296 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1297 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1298 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1299 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1300 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1302 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1304 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1305 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1306 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1307 until some year far in the future).
1309 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1311 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1313 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1314 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1316 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1317 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1320 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1322 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1323 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1324 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1325 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1326 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1327 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1329 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1331 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1333 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1334 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1335 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1337 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1338 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1339 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1340 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1341 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1342 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1345 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1346 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1347 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1348 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1349 of masquerading individually.
1351 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1352 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1353 GECOS field delimiters.
1355 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1357 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1358 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1359 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1360 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1361 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1362 and explaining the feature.
1364 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1366 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1367 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1370 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1371 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1372 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1374 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1375 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1376 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1377 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1379 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1380 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1381 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1384 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1386 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1387 code to be executed.
1389 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1391 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1393 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1394 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1395 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1396 quotes embedded in them.
1398 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1400 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1401 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1402 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1403 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1404 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1405 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1406 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1409 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1410 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1411 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1412 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1413 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1415 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1417 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1419 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1420 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1421 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1422 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1424 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1427 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1429 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1431 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1433 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1434 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1435 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1437 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1440 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1442 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1443 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1444 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1445 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1446 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1447 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1449 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1450 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1452 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1454 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1457 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1459 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1460 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1461 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1464 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1465 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1466 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1467 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1468 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1469 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1470 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1471 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1472 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1473 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1474 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1475 processing that post has).
1477 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1479 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1480 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1481 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1482 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1483 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1484 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1487 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1489 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1491 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1493 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1495 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1496 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1498 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1501 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1503 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1504 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1505 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1508 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1510 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1511 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1512 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1513 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1514 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1515 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1517 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1519 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1521 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1523 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1524 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1525 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1526 caught again. This works for now.
1528 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1530 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1532 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1533 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1535 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1537 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1538 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1540 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1542 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1544 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1546 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1547 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1549 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1551 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1552 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1553 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1554 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1555 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1558 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1560 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1561 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1562 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1564 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1565 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1568 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1570 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1571 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1572 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1574 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1576 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1577 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1579 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1581 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1584 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1585 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1587 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1588 macros, regardless of platform.
1590 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1591 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1593 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1594 with x-conversions=gzip.
1596 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1598 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1601 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1602 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1603 implicit definition of ioctl().
1605 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1606 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1607 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1608 want to mess with them.
1610 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1612 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1613 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1615 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1616 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1618 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1619 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1620 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1622 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1623 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1624 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1626 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1627 function initgroups.
1629 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1632 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1633 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1636 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1637 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1640 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1641 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1645 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1647 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1648 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1649 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1651 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1652 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1654 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1656 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1658 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1659 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1660 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1661 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1663 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1664 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1666 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1668 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1670 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1672 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1673 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1675 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1677 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1678 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1680 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1681 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1682 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1683 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1685 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1686 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1688 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1690 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1691 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1693 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1695 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1696 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1699 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1701 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1703 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1705 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1706 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1708 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1709 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1710 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1712 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1713 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1714 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1716 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1717 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1718 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1720 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1721 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1724 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1725 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1727 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1728 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1730 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1731 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1733 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1734 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1735 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1737 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1738 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1740 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1741 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1742 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1744 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1745 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1748 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1749 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1751 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1752 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1753 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1754 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1756 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1757 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1759 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1763 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1764 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1765 would not be changed.
1767 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1768 one from the Apache web server.
1770 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1771 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1773 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1774 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1775 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1777 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1779 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1781 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1782 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1785 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1786 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1787 removes a bad race condition.
1789 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1792 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1793 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1794 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1796 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1797 sequence information.
1799 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1800 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1802 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1805 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1808 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1810 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1811 interpret 034 as octal.
1813 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1815 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1816 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1818 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1819 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1821 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1822 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1824 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1825 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1827 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1828 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1830 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1831 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1832 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1834 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1835 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1836 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1838 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1840 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1842 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1843 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1846 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1848 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1849 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1851 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1852 header field information.
1854 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1855 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1857 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1858 values when parsing a content.
1860 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1861 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1863 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1864 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1866 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1867 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1869 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1870 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1872 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1874 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1876 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1878 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1880 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1881 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1884 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1885 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1887 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1888 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1889 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1890 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1891 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1892 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1895 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1897 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1898 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1899 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1901 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1902 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1904 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1906 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1907 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1908 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1909 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1911 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1912 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1915 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1916 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1917 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1918 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1921 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1923 * Released nmh-0.27.
1925 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1926 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1928 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1929 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1930 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1931 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1934 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1935 mhbuild returns an error.
1937 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1938 rename the draft file.
1940 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1941 use a global variable.
1943 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1944 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1946 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1947 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1949 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1950 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1951 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1953 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1954 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1956 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1957 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1960 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1961 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1964 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1965 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1967 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1968 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1969 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1971 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1972 to new function output_content_folder.
1974 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1975 new function output_content_file.
1977 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1978 to new function parse_format_string.
1980 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1981 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1982 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1983 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1985 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1986 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1987 message/external file from ftp.
1989 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1990 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1991 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1993 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1994 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1997 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2000 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2001 new file mhstoresbr.c
2003 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2006 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2007 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2009 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2010 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2012 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2013 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2014 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2016 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2018 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2020 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2021 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2024 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2025 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2027 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2030 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2032 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2034 * Released nmh-0.26.
2036 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2037 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2038 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2039 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2041 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2042 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2043 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2044 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2045 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2047 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2048 But it is not on by default.
2050 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2051 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2053 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2055 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2057 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2059 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2061 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2062 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2064 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2066 * Released nmh-0.25.
2068 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2069 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2070 uses the original name of the library.
2072 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2073 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2076 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2077 list_content and list_debug.
2079 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2081 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2082 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2084 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2086 * Released nmh-0.24.
2088 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2090 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2091 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2093 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2094 large sequence line.
2096 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2098 * Released nmh-0.23.
2100 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2102 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2103 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2104 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2105 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2107 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2108 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2111 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2113 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2115 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2117 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2118 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2120 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2121 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2123 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2124 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2126 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2127 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2129 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2131 * Released nmh-0.22.
2133 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2134 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2136 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2138 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2139 mh-profile(5) man page.
2141 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2142 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2144 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2146 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2148 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2149 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2151 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2153 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2154 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2155 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2157 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2158 source message on the standard input.
2160 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2162 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2163 rather than -rfc934mode.
2165 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2166 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2169 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2170 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2172 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2175 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2177 * Released nmh-0.21.
2179 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2180 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2182 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2185 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2186 to use for text contents.
2188 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2190 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2192 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2194 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2196 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2197 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2199 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2200 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2201 spaces between encoded word are.
2203 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2205 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2206 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2208 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2209 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2210 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2212 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2214 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2215 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2217 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2219 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2221 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2222 ISO-8859-X character set.
2224 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2227 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2228 permissions, not write permissions.
2230 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2231 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2233 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2236 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2238 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2240 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2241 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2243 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2244 message contains valid character set.
2246 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2247 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2249 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2250 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2252 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2253 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2254 between an encoded word and normal text.
2256 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2257 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2259 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2260 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2262 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2265 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2266 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2269 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2270 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2272 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2273 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2275 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2277 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2279 * Released nmh-0.20.
2281 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2283 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2285 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2286 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2287 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2289 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2290 and the To: line was missing.
2292 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2294 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2296 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2298 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2299 watch the POP transaction.
2301 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2302 first, and use it if available.
2304 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2305 first, and use it if available.
2307 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2309 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2311 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2312 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2313 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2316 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2317 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2318 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2320 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2321 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2324 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2326 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2327 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2329 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2331 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2332 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2334 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2335 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2336 message to which you are replying.
2338 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2339 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2340 making group replies.
2342 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2344 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2346 * Released nmh-0.19.
2348 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2349 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2351 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2352 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2353 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2354 to the end of the man page.
2356 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2357 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2358 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2359 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2360 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2361 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2363 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2366 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2367 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2368 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2370 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2371 the next available number above the message number you wish
2374 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2375 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2377 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2378 file sbr/seq_print.c
2380 * flist will now update the current folder.
2382 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2383 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2384 but now undocumented.
2386 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2389 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2390 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2392 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2394 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2395 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2397 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2399 * Released nmh-0.18.
2401 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2402 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2403 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2405 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2406 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2408 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2409 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2410 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2411 previous public/private status.
2413 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2416 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2419 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2420 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2421 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2423 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2424 take option to determine whether it should get current
2425 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2426 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2428 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2430 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2431 wait for stopped processes.
2433 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2434 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2436 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2438 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2440 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2441 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2443 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2444 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2446 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2447 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2448 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2449 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2451 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2454 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2457 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2459 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2460 the debugging output.
2462 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2463 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2465 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2467 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2469 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2470 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2472 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2474 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2475 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2476 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2477 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2478 in the given sequence.
2480 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2481 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2482 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2483 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2484 subdirectories of a given directory.
2486 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2487 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2488 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2490 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2491 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2493 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2495 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2498 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2499 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2500 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2502 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2503 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2504 are calculated at runtime.
2506 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2508 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2510 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2511 about checking for global mh.profile.
2513 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2514 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2515 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2516 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2517 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2518 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2520 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2521 adding message to folder itself.
2523 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2524 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2525 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2528 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2529 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2532 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2533 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2534 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2536 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2537 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2539 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2540 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2541 code to use it yet).
2543 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2545 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2547 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2548 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2550 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2551 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2553 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2555 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2558 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2560 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2562 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2564 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2566 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2567 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2569 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2571 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2573 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2575 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2577 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2579 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2580 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2582 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2583 configuration files.
2585 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2587 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2589 * Released nmh-0.17.
2591 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2593 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2594 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2596 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2599 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2600 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2602 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2603 number of refiled message.
2605 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2607 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2608 for return value of wait().
2610 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2612 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2614 * Released nmh-0.16.
2616 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2618 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2620 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2621 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2622 deal with binary messages, yet).
2624 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2626 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2628 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2629 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2630 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2631 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2632 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2633 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2635 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2636 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2638 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2639 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2641 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2642 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2645 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2647 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2649 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2650 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2653 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2656 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2658 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2659 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2660 which used unsigned chars by default.
2662 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2664 * Released nmh-0.15.
2666 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2667 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.

2671 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2673 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2676 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2677 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2678 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2680 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2681 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2683 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2685 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2686 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2688 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2689 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2690 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2691 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2693 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2694 and put in own subroutine.
2696 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2697 and put in own subroutine.
2699 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2700 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2701 refile.c to use new routine.
2703 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2705 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2707 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2710 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2711 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2712 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2714 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2717 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2718 adding message to sequence.
2720 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2721 corresponding file in sbr.
2723 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2726 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2728 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2729 all selected messages from a sequence.
2731 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2732 selected messages to a sequence.
2734 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2737 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2739 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2740 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2742 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2744 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2745 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2747 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2749 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2750 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2754 * Released nmh-0.14.
2756 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2757 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2759 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2761 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2762 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2763 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2764 environment variable.
2766 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2767 draft folder facility in nmh.
2769 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2772 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2776 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2779 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2781 * Released nmh-0.13.
2783 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2784 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2785 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2786 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2789 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2790 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2792 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2794 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2795 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2797 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2799 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2800 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2802 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2804 * Released nmh-0.12.
2806 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
2808 * Released nmh-0.11.
2810 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2812 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2813 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2815 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2816 mp->attrstats with macros.
2818 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2821 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2824 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2825 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2827 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2828 will suppress the display of the message header.
2830 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2832 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2833 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2835 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2837 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2839 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2841 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2842 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2844 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2845 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2847 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2849 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2851 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2852 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2854 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2855 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2857 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2859 * Released nmh-0.10.

2866 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2868 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2869 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2871 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2872 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2874 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2875 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2877 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2879 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2880 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2882 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2884 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2885 of missing tabs in regex.
2887 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2889 * Released nmh-0.09.

2907 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2909 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted

2912 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2914 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2915 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2917 * Released nmh-0.08.
2919 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2920 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2921 locking database itself.
2923 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2925 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2927 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2928 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2931 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2932 rather than mmdf format.
2934 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2935 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2936 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2937 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2939 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2941 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2943 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2946 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2947 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2948 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2950 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2951 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2952 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2954 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2956 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2957 can still easily change this in config.h).
2959 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2960 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2961 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2963 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2965 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2966 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2968 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2970 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.

2977 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2979 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2980 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2982 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2983 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2986 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2987 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2990 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2992 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2994 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2996 * Added configure check for tzset.

3000 * Released nmh-0.06.
3002 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3003 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3005 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3006 many such machines around anymore.
3008 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3009 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3011 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3012 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3014 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3016 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3017 pre-generated version if necessary.
3019 * Released nmh-0.05.
3021 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3022 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3023 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3024 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3026 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3027 be linked in one pass.
3029 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3031 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3032 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3034 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3036 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3038 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3040 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3041 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3042 become the current folder.
3044 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3046 * Released nmh-0.04.
3048 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3051 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3054 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3055 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3057 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3059 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3060 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3062 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3064 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3065 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3068 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3069 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3071 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3073 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3074 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3075 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3076 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3077 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3078 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3080 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3082 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3083 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3085 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3086 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3088 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3090 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3091 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3093 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3095 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3096 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3097 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3099 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3101 * Released nmh-0.03.
3103 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3104 .mh_sequence file existed.
3106 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3107 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3109 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3110 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3113 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3115 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3118 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3120 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3121 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3122 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3124 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3126 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3127 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3128 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3130 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3132 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3133 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3135 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3137 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3139 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3140 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3141 directory from where the source code is located.
3143 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3145 * Released nmh-0.02.
3147 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3152 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3154 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3155 and sys_nerr directly.
3157 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3159 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3161 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3163 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3165 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3166 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3167 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3168 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3169 rather than in script.
3171 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3173 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3175 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3176 macro defined on Solaris.
3178 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3180 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3181 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3183 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3184 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3185 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3186 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3189 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3191 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3192 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3194 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3197 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3199 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3201 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3202 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3204 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3206 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3207 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3209 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3211 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3212 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3213 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3214 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3215 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3216 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3218 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3220 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3222 * Released nmh-0.01.
3224 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3225 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3226 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3229 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3231 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3234 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3236 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3237 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3239 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3241 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3242 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3243 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3244 script to find_program.
3246 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3248 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3249 speed up -recurse option.
3251 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3252 yet, but it compiles :-)
3254 * Changed default location for install to
3255 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3256 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3257 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3260 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3261 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3262 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
