2
3 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
4 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
5 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
6 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
7 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
8 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
9 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
10 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
11 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
12 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
13 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
14
15 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
16 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
17 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
18 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
19 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
20 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
21 out of nowhere.
22
23 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
24 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
25 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
26 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
27 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.

29 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
30
31 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
32 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
33 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
34 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
35 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
36 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
37 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
38
39 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
40
41 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
42 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
43
44 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
45
46 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
47 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
48
49 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
50
51 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
52 --enable-apop.
53
54 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
55 along with any -host or -user option.
56
57 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
58
59 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
60
61 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
62 process was fresh in my mind.
63
64 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
65
66 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
67 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
68
69 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
70
71 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
72
73 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
74 patch:
75
76 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
77 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
78 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
79 part of the program's name.
80
81 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
82 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
83 to quote.
84
85 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
86
87 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
88 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
89 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
90 single-character format would cause programs using this
91 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
92 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
93 when the format string was one character. This eventually
94 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
95 in the array.
96
97 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
98
99 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
100 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
101 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
102 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
103 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
104 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
105
106 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
107 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
108 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
109 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
110 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
111 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
112 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
113 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
114
115 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
116 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
117 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
118 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
119 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
120 tags, and "&lt;" and "&gt;" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
121 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
122 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
123 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
124 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
125
126 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
127
128 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
129 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
130
131 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
132 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
133
134 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
135 exit 2
136
137 and:
138
139 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
140
141 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
142 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
143 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
144 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
145
146 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
147 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
148 problem in the routine.
149
150 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
151
152 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
153 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
154
155 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
156 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
157 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
158 spool somehow.
159
160 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
161
162 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
163 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
164 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
165 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
166 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
167 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
168 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
169 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
170 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
171 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
172
173 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
174
175 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
176 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
177 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
178 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
179 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
180 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
181 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
182 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
183 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
184 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
185 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
186 interesting than a duplication of the default.
187
188 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
189 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
190 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
191 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
192 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
193
194 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
195 POP is enabled.
196
197 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
198
199 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
200 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
201 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
202 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
203 here.
204
205 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
206
207 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
208
209 * Applied, after some finessing,
210 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
211
212 Here's a patch that allows you to add
213
214 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
215
216 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
217 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
218 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
219 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
220
221 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
222
223 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
224 forgetting to do so!).
225
226 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
227 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
228 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
229 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
230 arguments to enable all three types.
231
232 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
233 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
234
235 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
236 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
237 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
238 updated copy of mts.conf.
239
240 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
241
242 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
243 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
244 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
245
246 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
247 and
248 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
249
250 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
251 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
252 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
253
254 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
255 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
256 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
257
258 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
259 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
260 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
261
262 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
263
264 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
265
266 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
267
268 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
269
270 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
271 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
272
273 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
274 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
275 certain suffix to run properly.
276
277 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
278 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
279 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
280
281 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
282 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
283 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
284 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
285 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
286 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
287 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
288
289 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
290
291 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
292 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
293 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
294 until some year far in the future).
295
296 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
297
298 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
299
300 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
301 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
302
303 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
304 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
305 corrupted.
306
307 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
308
309 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
310 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
311 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
312 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
313 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
314 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
315
316 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
317
318 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
319
320 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
321 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
322 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
323
324 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
325 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
326 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
327 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
328 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
329 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
330 leads me to:
331
332 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
333 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
334 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
335 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
336 of masquerading individually.
337
338 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
339 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
340 GECOS field delimiters.
341
342 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
343
344 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
345 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
346 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
347 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
348 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
349 and explaining the feature.
350
351 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
352
353 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
354 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
355 so).
356
357 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
358 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
359 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
360
361 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
362 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
363 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
364 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
365
366 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
367 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
368 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
369 anywhere.
370
371 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
372
373 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
374 code to be executed.
375
376 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
377
378 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
379
380 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
381 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
382 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
383 quotes embedded in them.
384
385 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
386
387 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
388 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
389 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
390 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
391 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
392 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
393 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
394 allowed to specify.
395
396 The other theory is that because you can say something like
397 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
398 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
399 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
400 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
401
402 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
403
404 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
405
406 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
407 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
408 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
409 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
410
411 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
412 KPOP server.
413
414 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
415
416 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
417
418 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
419
420 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
421 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
422 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
423
424 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
425 mhn.defaults.sh.
426
427 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
428
429 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
430 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
431 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
432 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
433 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
434 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
435
436 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
437 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
438
439 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
440
441 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
442 page.
443
444 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
445
446 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
447 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
448 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
449 to be setgid.
450
451 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
452 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
453 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
454 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
455 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
456 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
457 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
458 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
459 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
460 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
461 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
462 processing that post has).
463
464 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
465
466 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
467 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
468 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
469 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
470 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
471 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
472 Solaris 2.6).
473
474 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
475
476 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
477
478 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
479
480 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
481
482 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
483 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
484
485 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
486 command-line.
487
488 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
489
490 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
491 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
492 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
493 some development.
494
495 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
496
497 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
498 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
499 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
500 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
501 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
502 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
503
504 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
505
506 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
507
508 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
509
510 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
511 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
512 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
513 caught again. This works for now.
514
515 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
516
517 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
518
519 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
520 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
521
522 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
523
524 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
525 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
526
527 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
528
529 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
530
531 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
532
533 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
534 changes. Both need more cleanup.
535
536 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
537
538 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
539 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
540 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
541 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
542 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
543 multiple purposes.
544
545 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
546
547 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
548 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
549 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
550
551 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
552 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
553 config.guess.
554
555 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
556
557 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
558 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
559 to a directory on another device with more free space.
560
561 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
562
563 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
564 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
565
566 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
567
568 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
569 distributed.
570
571 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
572 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
573
574 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
575 macros, regardless of platform.
576
577 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
578 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
579
580 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
581 with x-conversions=gzip.
582
583 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
584
585 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
586 post.c.
587
588 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
589 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
590 implicit definition of ioctl().
591
592 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
593 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
594 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
595 want to mess with them.
596
597 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
598
599 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
600 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
601
602 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
603 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
604
605 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
606 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
607 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
608
609 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
610 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
611 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
612
613 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
614 function initgroups.
615
616 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
617 function.
618
619 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
620 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
621 to fix warnings.
622
623 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
624 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
625 prevent warnings.
626
627 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
628 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
629 statements).
630
631
632 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
633
634 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
635 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
636 preventing compilation on at least linux.
637
638 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
639 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
640
641 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
642
643 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
644
645 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
646 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
647 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
648 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
649
650 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
651 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
652
653 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
654
655 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
656
657 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
658
659 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
660 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
661
662 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
663
664 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
665 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
666
667 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
668 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
669 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
670 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
671
672 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
673 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
674
675 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
676
677 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
678 substitute it for mktemp if available.
679
680 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
681
682 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
683 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
684 proper #defines.
685
686 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
687
688 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
689
690 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
691
692 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
693 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
694
695 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
696 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
697 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
698
699 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
700 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
701 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
702
703 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
704 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
705 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
706
707 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
708 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
709 <swb@nconnect.net>.
710
711 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
712 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
713
714 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
715 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
716
717 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
718 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
719
720 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
721 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
722 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
723
724 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
725 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
726
727 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
728 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
729 <elleron@servtech.com>.
730
731 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
732 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
733 <rmg@netapp.com>.
734
735 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
736 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
737
738 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
739 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
740 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
741 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
742
743 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
744 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
745
746 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
747
748 * Released nmh-1.0.
749
750 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
751 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
752 would not be changed.
753
754 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
755 one from the Apache web server.
756
757 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
758 (this should have been done a long time ago).
759
760 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
761 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
762 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
763
764 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
765
766 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
767
768 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
769 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
770 verbose printing).
771
772 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
773 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
774 removes a bad race condition.
775
776 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
777 style drop file.
778
779 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
780 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
781 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
782
783 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
784 sequence information.
785
786 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
787 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
788
789 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
790 count.
791
792 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
793 is empty.
794
795 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
796
797 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
798 interpret 034 as octal.
799
800 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
801
802 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
803 mhstore, and mhbuild.
804
805 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
806 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
807
808 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
809 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
810
811 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
812 in the c_cefile structure when building.
813
814 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
815 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
816
817 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
818 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
819 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
820
821 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
822 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
823 and mhshow. Updated man pages
824
825 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
826
827 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
828
829 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
830 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
831 file "mhoutsbr.c".
832
833 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
834
835 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
836 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
837
838 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
839 header field information.
840
841 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
842 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
843
844 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
845 values when parsing a content.
846
847 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
848 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
849
850 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
851 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
852
853 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
854 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
855
856 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
857 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
858
859 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
860
861 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
862
863 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
864
865 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
866
867 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
868 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
869 read.
870
871 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
872 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
873
874 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
875 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
876 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
877 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
878 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
879 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
880 be setuid/setgid.
881
882 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
883
884 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
885 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
886 buffer length checks for this parameter.
887
888 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
889 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
890
891 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
892
893 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
894 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
895 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
896 of the limits on the length of command lines.
897
898 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
899 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
900 fix).
901
902 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
903 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
904 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
905 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
906 arguments.
907
908 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
909
910 * Released nmh-0.27.
911
912 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
913 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
914
915 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
916 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
917 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
918 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
919 with no arguments.
920
921 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
922 mhbuild returns an error.
923
924 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
925 rename the draft file.
926
927 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
928 use a global variable.
929
930 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
931 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
932
933 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
934 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
935
936 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
937 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
938 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
939
940 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
941 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
942
943 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
944 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
945 this new page.
946
947 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
948 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
949 viamail program.
950
951 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
952 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
953
954 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
955 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
956 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
957
958 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
959 to new function output_content_folder.
960
961 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
962 new function output_content_file.
963
964 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
965 to new function parse_format_string.
966
967 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
968 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
969 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
970 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
971
972 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
973 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
974 message/external file from ftp.
975
976 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
977 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
978 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
979
980 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
981 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
982 mhfree.c.
983
984 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
985 file mhshowsbr.c.
986
987 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
988 new file mhstoresbr.c
989
990 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
991 file mhparse.c.
992
993 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
994 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
995
996 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
997 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
998
999 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1000 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1001 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1002
1003 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1004
1005 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1006
1007 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1008 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1009 to main().
1010
1011 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1012 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1013
1014 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1015 to mhparse.c).
1016
1017 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1018
1019 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1020
1021 * Released nmh-0.26.
1022
1023 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1024 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1025 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1026 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1027
1028 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1029 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1030 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1031 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1032 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1033
1034 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1035 But it is not on by default.
1036
1037 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1038 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1039
1040 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1041
1042 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1043
1044 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1045
1046 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1047
1048 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1049 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1050
1051 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1052
1053 * Released nmh-0.25.
1054
1055 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1056 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1057 uses the original name of the library.
1058
1059 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1060 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1061 links remaining.
1062
1063 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1064 list_content and list_debug.
1065
1066 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1067
1068 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1069 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1070
1071 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1072
1073 * Released nmh-0.24.
1074
1075 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1076
1077 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1078 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1079
1080 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1081 large sequence line.
1082
1083 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1084
1085 * Released nmh-0.23.
1086
1087 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1088
1089 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1090 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1091 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1092 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1093
1094 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1095 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1096 file h/mhnsbr.h.
1097
1098 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1099
1100 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1101
1102 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1103
1104 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1105 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1106
1107 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1108 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1109
1110 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1111 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1112
1113 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1114 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1115
1116 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1117
1118 * Released nmh-0.22.
1119
1120 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1121 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1122
1123 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1124
1125 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1126 mh-profile(5) man page.
1127
1128 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1129 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1130
1131 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1132
1133 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1134
1135 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1136 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1137
1138 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1139
1140 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1141 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1142 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1143
1144 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1145 source message on the standard input.
1146
1147 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1148
1149 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1150 rather than -rfc934mode.
1151
1152 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1153 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1154 only one message.
1155
1156 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1157 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1158
1159 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1160 it is still needed.
1161
1162 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1163
1164 * Released nmh-0.21.
1165
1166 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1167 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1168
1169 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1170 encoding to use.
1171
1172 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1173 to use for text contents.
1174
1175 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1176
1177 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1178
1179 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1180
1181 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1182
1183 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1184 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1185
1186 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1187 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1188 spaces between encoded word are.
1189
1190 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1191
1192 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1193 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1194
1195 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1196 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1197 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1198
1199 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1200
1201 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1202 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1203
1204 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1205
1206 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1207
1208 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1209 ISO-8859-X character set.
1210
1211 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1212 pager more.
1213
1214 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1215 permissions, not write permissions.
1216
1217 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1218 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1219
1220 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1221 distribution.
1222
1223 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1224
1225 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1226
1227 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1228 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1229
1230 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1231 message contains valid character set.
1232
1233 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1234 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1235
1236 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1237 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1238
1239 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1240 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1241 between an encoded word and normal text.
1242
1243 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1244 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1245
1246 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1247 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1248
1249 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1250 and -help.
1251
1252 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1253 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1254 loops).
1255
1256 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1257 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1258
1259 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1260 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1261
1262 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1263
1264 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1265
1266 * Released nmh-0.20.
1267
1268 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1269
1270 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1271
1272 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1273 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1274 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1275
1276 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1277 and the To: line was missing.
1278
1279 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1280
1281 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1282
1283 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1284
1285 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1286 watch the POP transaction.
1287
1288 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1289 first, and use it if available.
1290
1291 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1292 first, and use it if available.
1293
1294 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1295
1296 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1297
1298 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1299 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1300 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1301 sequence line.
1302
1303 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1304 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1305 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1306
1307 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1308 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1309 lines.
1310
1311 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1312
1313 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1314 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1315
1316 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1317
1318 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1319 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1320
1321 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1322 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1323 message to which you are replying.
1324
1325 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1326 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1327 making group replies.
1328
1329 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1330
1331 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1332
1333 * Released nmh-0.19.
1334
1335 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1336 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1337
1338 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1339 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1340 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1341 to the end of the man page.
1342
1343 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1344 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1345 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1346 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1347 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1348 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1349
1350 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1351 pages.
1352
1353 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1354 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1355 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1356
1357 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1358 the next available number above the message number you wish
1359 to preserve.
1360
1361 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1362 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1363
1364 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1365 file sbr/seq_print.c
1366
1367 * flist will now update the current folder.
1368
1369 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1370 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1371 but now undocumented.
1372
1373 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1374 traversing folders.
1375
1376 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1377 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1378
1379 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1380
1381 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1382 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1383
1384 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1385
1386 * Released nmh-0.18.
1387
1388 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1389 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1390 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1391
1392 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1393 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1394
1395 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1396 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1397 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1398 previous public/private status.
1399
1400 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1401 correctly.
1402
1403 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1404 private sequences).
1405
1406 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1407 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1408 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1409
1410 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1411 take option to determine whether it should get current
1412 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1413 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1414
1415 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1416
1417 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1418 wait for stopped processes.
1419
1420 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1421 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1422
1423 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1424
1425 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1426
1427 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1428 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1429
1430 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1431 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1432
1433 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1434 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1435 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1436 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1437
1438 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1439 status allocation).
1440
1441 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1442 the code.
1443
1444 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1445
1446 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1447 the debugging output.
1448
1449 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1450 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1451
1452 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1453
1454 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1455
1456 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1457 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1458
1459 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1460
1461 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1462 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1463 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1464 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1465 in the given sequence.
1466
1467 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1468 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1469 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1470 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1471 subdirectories of a given directory.
1472
1473 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1474 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1475 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1476
1477 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1478 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1479
1480 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1481
1482 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1483 to 0700 (was 0711).
1484
1485 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1486 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1487 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1488
1489 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1490 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1491 are calculated at runtime.
1492
1493 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1494
1495 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1496
1497 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1498 about checking for global mh.profile.
1499
1500 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1501 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1502 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1503 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1504 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1505 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1506
1507 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1508 adding message to folder itself.
1509
1510 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1511 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1512 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1513 instead of exiting.
1514
1515 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1516 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1517 the error EEXIST.
1518
1519 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1520 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1521 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1522
1523 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1524 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1525
1526 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1527 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1528 code to use it yet).
1529
1530 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1531
1532 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1533
1534 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1535 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1536
1537 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1538 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1539
1540 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1541
1542 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1543 to folder_addmsg.c
1544
1545 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1550
1551 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1552
1553 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1554 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1555

1570 configuration files.
1571
1572 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1573
1574 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1576 * Released nmh-0.17.
1577
1578 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1579
1580 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1581 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1582
1583 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1584 defined.
1585
1586 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1587 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.

1590 number of refiled message.
1591
1592 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.

1604
1605 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1606
1607 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1608 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1609 deal with binary messages, yet).
1610
1611 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1612
1613 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1614
1615 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1616 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1617 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1618 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1619 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1620 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1621
1622 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1623 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1624
1625 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1626 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1627
1628 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1629 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and

1631
1632 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1633
1634 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1635
1636 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1637 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1638 composition files.
1639
1640 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1641 files.
1642
1643 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1644
1645 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1646 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1647 which used unsigned chars by default.
1648
1649 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1650
1651 * Released nmh-0.15.
1652
1653 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1654 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1655
1656 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1657
1658 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1659
1660 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1661 return 0.
1662
1663 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1664 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1665 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1666
1667 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1668 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1669
1670 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1671
1672 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1673 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1674
1675 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1676 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1677 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1678 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1679
1680 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1681 and put in own subroutine.
1682
1683 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1684 and put in own subroutine.
1685
1686 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1687 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1688 refile.c to use new routine.
1689

1691
1692 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1693
1694 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1695 seq_getnum.
1696
1697 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1698 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1699 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1700
1701 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1702 no longer used.
1703
1704 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1705 adding message to sequence.
1706
1707 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
1708 corresponding file in sbr.
1709
1710 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
1711 file in sbr.
1712
1713 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
1714
1715 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
1716 all selected messages from a sequence.
1717
1718 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
1719 selected messages to a sequence.
1720
1721 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1722 and m_seqok.c.

1737 MH-6.8.4 distribution.
1738
1739 Fri May 2 15:24:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1744 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
1745
1746 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1747
1748 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
1749 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
1750 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
1751 environment variable.
1752
1753 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
1754 draft folder facility in nmh.
1755
1756 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
1757 to fmt_compile.h.
1758
1759 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
1760 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
1761 fmt_addr.c.
1762
1763 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
1764 options.
1765
1766 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1767
1768 * Released nmh-0.13.
1769
1770 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1771 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1772 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1773 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1774 to MAXARGS).
1775
1776 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
1777 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
1778
1779 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1780
1781 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
1782 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
1783
1784 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1785
1786 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
1787 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
1788
1789 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1790
1791 * Released nmh-0.12.
1792
1793 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
1794

1796
1797 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1798
1799 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
1800 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
1801
1802 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
1803 mp->attrstats with macros.
1804
1805 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
1806 in msh.c instead.
1807
1808 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
1809 to hide dd->dd_fd.
1810
1811 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
1812 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
1813
1814 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
1815 will suppress the display of the message header.
1816
1817 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1818
1819 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
1820 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
1821
1822 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
1823
1824 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
1825
1826 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
1827
1828 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
1829 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
1830
1831 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
1832 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
1833
1834 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
1835
1836 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1837
1838 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1839 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1840
1841 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
1842 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

1844 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1845
1846 * Released nmh-0.10.

1851 by default.
1852
1853 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1854
1855 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
1856 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
1857
1858 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
1859 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
1860
1861 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
1862 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
1863
1864 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1867 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
1868
1869 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1870
1871 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
1872 of missing tabs in regex.

1882 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
1883 <sys/ioctl.h>.
1884
1885 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
1886
1887 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1888
1889 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
1890 From MH-6.8.4 diff.
1891
1892 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1893
1894 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
1895
1896 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
1897 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
1898
1899 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1900
1901 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
1902 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
1903
1904 * Released nmh-0.08.
1905
1906 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
1907 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
1908 locking database itself.
1909
1910 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1911
1912 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
1913
1914 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
1915 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
1916 option.
1917
1918 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1919 rather than mmdf format.
1920
1921 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
1922 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
1923 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
1924 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
1925
1926 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
1927
1928 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1929
1930 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
1931 added to packf.
1932
1933 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1934 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1935 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
1936
1937 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1938 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1939 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
1940
1941 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1942
1943 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
1944 can still easily change this in config.h).
1945
1946 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
1947 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
1948 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
1949
1950 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1951
1952 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
1953 than tzset and external timezone variable.
1954

1956
1957 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.

1963
1964 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1965
1966 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
1967 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
1968
1969 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
1970 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
1971 on SCO 5.x.
1972
1973 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
1974 built-in FTP client in mhn.
1975
1976 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
1977 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
1978
1979 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
1980
1981 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
1982
1983 * Added configure check for tzset.
1984
1985 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1986
1987 * Released nmh-0.06.
1988
1989 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
1990 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
1991
1992 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
1993 many such machines around anymore.
1994
1995 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
1996 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
1997
1998 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
1999 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2000
2001 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2002
2003 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2004 pre-generated version if necessary.
2005
2006 * Released nmh-0.05.
2007
2008 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2009 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2010 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2011 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2012
2013 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2014 be linked in one pass.
2015
2016 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2017
2018 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2019 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2020
2021 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2022
2023 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.

2025 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2026
2027 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2028 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2029 become the current folder.
2030
2031 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2036 it.
2037
2038 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2039
2040 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2041 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2042 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2043
2044 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2045
2046 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2047 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2048
2049 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2050
2051 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2052 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2053 using POP.
2054
2055 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2056 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2057
2058 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2059
2060 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2061 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2062 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2063 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2064 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2065 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2066
2067 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2068
2069 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2070 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2071
2072 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2073 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2074
2075 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2076
2077 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2078 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2079
2080 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2081
2082 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2083 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2084 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2085
2086 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2087
2088 * Released nmh-0.03.
2089
2090 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2091 .mh_sequence file existed.
2092
2093 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2094 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2095
2096 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2097 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2098 man page.
2099
2100 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2101
2102 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2103 flist man page.
2104
2105 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2106
2107 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2108 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2109 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2110
2111 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2112
2113 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2114 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2115 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2116
2117 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2118
2119 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2120 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2121
2122 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2123
2124 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2125
2126 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2127 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2128 directory from where the source code is located.
2129
2130 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2149
2150 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2151
2152 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2153 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2154 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2155 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2156 rather than in script.
2157
2158 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2159
2160 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2161
2162 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2163 macro defined on Solaris.
2164
2165 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2166
2167 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2168 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2169
2170 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2171 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2172 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2173 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2174 options if enabled.
2175
2176 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2177
2178 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2179 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2180
2181 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2182 correctly found.
2183
2184 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2185
2186 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2187
2188 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2189 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2190
2191 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2192
2193 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2194 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2195
2196 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2197
2198 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2199 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2200 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2201 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2202 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2203 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2204
2205 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2206
2207 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2208
2209 * Released nmh-0.01.
2210
2211 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2212 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2213 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2214 have POSIX signals.
2215
2216 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2217
2218 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2219 their man pages.
2220
2221 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2222
2223 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2224 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2225
2226 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2227
2228 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2229 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2230 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2231 script to find_program.
2232
2233 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2234
2235 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2236 speed up -recurse option.
2237
2238 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2239 yet, but it compiles :-)
2240
2241 * Changed default location for install to
2242 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2243 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2244 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2245 level Makefile.
2246
2247 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2248 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2249 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
