   1 Things to add to the release notes for the next full release:
   2
   3 ------------
   4 NEW FEATURES
   5 ------------
   6
   7 - The default editor has been changed from 'vi' to 'prompter', to align with
   8   historical practice and reduce packaging dependencies on external programs.
   9 - A new -checkbase64 switch to mhfixmsg(1).
  10 - inc(1)/msgchk(1) now support STARTTLS for the POP protocol.
  11 - All TLS-supported protocols now will send the SNI (server name indicator)
  12   TLS extension.
  13 - A new mh-format function %(ordinal) has been implemented to output the
  14   appropriate ordinal suffix for numbers.  Example: "%(num 22)%(ordinal)"
  15   will output "22nd".
  16 - show and mhl now decode more addresses in header fields.
  17 - Added warning from all programs that read the profile if the profile
  18   contains a post entry, which is ignored, but does not contain a
  19   postproc entry.  In other words, if you get this warning and want
  20   to suppress it, your options include:
  21   1) Remove your post profile entry.
  22   2) Make your post profile entry a comment by prepending it with the #:
  23      comment indicator.
  24   3) Add a postproc entry that points to the post that you use.  That can
  25      be viewed with "mhparam postproc".

  27 -----------------
  28 OBSOLETE FEATURES
  29 -----------------
  30
  31 - The MIME content cache functionality has been mostly non-functional since
  32   the development on nmh, and consequently all of the content caching code
  33   and related switches (-cache/-rcache/-wcache) have been removed.
  34 - Support for generating and reassembling message/partial messags has been
  35   removed; it seems that this has been broken since 1.5 and there is very
  36   little support across MUAs.
  37
  38 -------------------
  39 DEPRECATED FEATURES
  40 -------------------
  41
  42 - The generation and verification of Content-MD5 headers is no longer
  43   performed.  The -check and -nocheck switches to various nmh programs
  44   that would control this functionality still exist, but are non-functional
  45   and will be removed in the next release.

  51 - Fixed bcc to work with sendmail/pipe, and better documented that dcc
  52   doesn't work with it [Bug 55700].
  53 - An -attendee switch has been added to mhical(1), for use when more than one
  54   (or zero) attendees match a user's mailbox.
  55 - Fixed inc(1) and %(me) function escape to not obey Local-Mailbox profile
  56   component.
  57 - Fixed source charset in mhfixmsg textcharset verbose output.
  58 - Fixed file descriptor leak in mhfixmsg when run on multiple input files.
