* configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
[nmh] / ChangeLog
1 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
2
3 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
4 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
5 This allows users to masquerade with the default
6 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
7 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
8 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
9 etc/mts.conf.

11 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
12
13 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
14 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
15 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
16 ruserpass() has a void return type.
17
18 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
19 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
20 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
21 provide memmove() substitute implementation
22
23 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
24 source directory' feature
25
26 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
27 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
28
29 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
30
31 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
32 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
33 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
34 for the patch.
35
36 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
37
38 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
39 is the wrong approach.
40
41 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
42 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
43 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
44 length).
45
46 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
47 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
48 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
49 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
50 broken for continued lines from the server.
51
52 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
53
54 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
55 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
56
57 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
58
59 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
60
61 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
62 been branched off.
63
64 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
65
66 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
67
68 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
69
70 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
71 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
72 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
73 obsolete feature of autoconf
74
75 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
76
77 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
78 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
79 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
80
81 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
82
83 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
84 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
85
86 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
87
88 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
89 multipart messages.
90
91 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
92
93 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
94 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
95 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
96 following done() (should never be reached).
97
98 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
99
100 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
101 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
102
103 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
104
105 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
106 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
107
108 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
109
110 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
111 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
112 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
113 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
114 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
115 acconfig.h if you must.
116
117 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
118
119 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
120 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
121 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
122 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
123
124 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
125
126 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
127 inc sgid.
128
129 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
130
131 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
132 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
133 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
134 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
135 have Content-Disposition.
136
137 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
138
139 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
140 if it isn't valid.
141
142 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
143
144 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
145 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
146
147 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
148
149 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
150 encoded block is empty
151
152 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
153
154 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
155 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
156 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
157 do this.
158
159 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
160
161 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
162 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
163 dtime() prototype.
164
165 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
166
167 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
168 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
169 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
170 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
171 description.
172
173 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
174 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
175
176 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
177
178 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
179 function num_digits into utils.c
180
181 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
182
183 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
184 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
185 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
186
187 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
188
189 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
190 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
191 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
192 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
193 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
194 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
195 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
196 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
197
198 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
199
200 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
201 Content-Disposition header.
202
203 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
204
205 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
206 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
207 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
208 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
209 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
210 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
211 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
212 users to easily accomodate that by adding
213 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
214
215 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
216
217 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
218 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
219
220 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
221
222 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
223
224 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
225 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
226
227 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
228 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
229
230 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
231
232 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
233 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
234 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
235 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
236 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
237 the signature.
238
239 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
240
241 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
242 widths, restoring right justification feature
243
244 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
245
246 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
247 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
248 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
249
250 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
251 chars fit
252
253 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
254
255 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
256 handling multi column characters.
257
258 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
259
260 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
261
262 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
263
264 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
265 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
266 has been removed.
267
268 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
269
270 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
271
272 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
273
274 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
275 calling realloc.
276
277 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
278
279 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
280 calling malloc.
281
282 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
283
284 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
285 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
286 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
287 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
288
289 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
290
291 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
292 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
293 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
294 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
295 where configure's autodetection fails.
296
297 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
298
299 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
300 configure script change.
301
302 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
303
304 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
305 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
306 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
307 systems with libdb4.
308
309 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
310
311 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
312 the context is only read once.
313
314 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
315
316 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
317 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
318
319 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
320
321 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
322 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
323
324 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
325 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
326 the first one.
327
328 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
329 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
330 annotated messages.
331
332 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
333
334 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
335 vi isn't found during build.
336
337 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
338
339 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
340 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
341
342 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
343 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
344 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
345
346 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
347
348 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
349 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
350
351 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
352 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
353 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
354 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
355 very slow).
356
357 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
358 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
359 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
360
361 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
362 entry in the context file.
363
364 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
365
366 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
367 problems on some systems
368
369 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
370 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
371
372 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
373
374 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
375 sendmail isn't found during build.
376
377 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
378
379 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
380
381 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
382
383 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
384 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
385
386 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
387 references to the web page and mailing list locations
388
389 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
390 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
391
392 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
393 autoconf macros
394
395 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
396
397 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
398 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
399 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
400
401 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
402 was configured with --enable-apop.
403
404 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
405 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
406 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
407
408 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
409 new versions of flex.
410
411 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
412 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
413 doesn't guess wrongly.
414
415 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
416
417 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
418 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
419
420 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
421 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
422
423 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
424 files with numbers as names
425
426 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
427
428 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
429
430 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
431
432 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
433
434 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
435 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
436
437 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
438
439 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
440 vfork on Linux
441
442 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
443 test/report error writing to stdout
444
445 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
446
447 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
448
449 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
450 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
451 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
452
453 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
454 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
455 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
456
457 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
458
459 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
460 character set used by the current locale
461
462 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
463 message's filename overflows an int when converted
464
465 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
466 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
467
468 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
469
470 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
471 the terminal
472
473 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
474
475 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
476 from Michael Richardson.
477
478 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
479 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
480
481 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
482
483 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
484 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
485
486 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
487
488 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
489 find sub-parts of the specified part
490
491 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
492
493 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
494 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
495 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
496 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
497 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
498 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
499 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
500 that path.
501
502 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
503
504 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
505 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
506 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
507 renamed.
508
509 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
510 refiling with -src option.
511
512 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
513
514 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
515
516 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
517
518 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
519 mailpath being overwritten.
520
521 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
522
523 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
524 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
525 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
526 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
527 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
528 reinitializes the tmp file string.
529
530 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
531 if a format string was read from the profile.
532
533 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
534 path for the external hook.
535
536 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
537
538 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
539 another location for ndbm.
540
541 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
542
543 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
544 independent.
545 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
546 to empty folder.
547 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
548
549 Debian Bug#
550 136976 - Handle binary content messages
551 143427 - mh-format.man typo
552 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
553 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
554 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
555 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
556 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
557 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
558 181867 - typo for nmh.man
559
560 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
561
562 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
563 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
564 contitional code which will result in cached data to
565 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
566 and parse on the first use.
567 * Remove some unused flag bits.
568
569 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
570
571 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
572 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
573 * Fixes for bugs
574 #578 - repl leaks umask
575 #1393 - sortm core dumps
576 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
577 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
578 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
579 RFC2822 compliant
580 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
581 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
582
583 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
584
585 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
586 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
587
588 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
589
590 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
591 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
592 to docs/README.about.
593
594 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
595
596 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
597
598 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
599 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
600 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
601 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
602 enough).
603
604 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
605
606 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
607 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
608 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
609 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
610 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
611 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
612 as well.
613
614 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
615 summary configure prints out.
616
617 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
618 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
619 subjectively more readable) format.
620
621 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
622
623 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
624 all nmh commands.
625
626 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
627
628 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
629 19xx when it's not necessary.
630
631 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
632
633 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
634 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
635 roff mark-up.
636
637 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
638 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
639 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
640 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
641 the man pages correctly.
642
643 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
644
645 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
646
647 * Finished manpages ali-prev
648
649 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
650 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
651 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
652 structure.
653
654 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
655 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
656 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
657 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
658
659 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
660
661 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
662 the formatting rules I've been using.
663
664 * Finished ali-inc.
665
666 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
667
668 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
669 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
670 used in the manpages.
671
672 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
673 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
674 read in the contents of the file as the variable
675 $DATE.
676
677 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
678 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
679 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
680 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
681 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
682 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
683 bold flags and italicized parameters.
684
685 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
686
687 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
688 --with-locking option.
689
690 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
691 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
692 information was not being communicated to the
693 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
694 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
695 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
696 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
697 undefined symbols problems.
698
699 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
700 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
701 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
702 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
703 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
704 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
705 for a genuine krb4 installation.
706
707 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
708
709 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
710 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
711
712 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
713
714 * Made a new ./configure option called
715 "--with-locking" that allows the file
716 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
717 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
718
719 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
720 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
721 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
722 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
723 the user that these are the valid options, and
724 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
725 descriptive enough.
726
727 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
728
729 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
730 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
731 committed to supporting flex only, since
732 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
733 string, as well as other problems documented
734 below and on nmh-workers.
735
736 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
737 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
738 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
739 the flag.
740
741 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
742 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
743
744 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
745
746 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
747 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
748 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
749
750 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
751
752 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
753 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
754
755 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
756
757 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
758 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
759 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
760 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
761 couldn't correctly identify them.
762
763 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
764
765 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
766 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
767 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
768 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
769 not depending on an external archive.
770
771 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
772 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
773 mts/generic is no longer built.
774
775 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
776
777 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
778 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
779 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
780 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
781 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
782 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
783 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
784 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
785
786 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
787
788 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
789 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
790 correct.
791
792 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
793
794 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
795 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
796 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
797 now finally mts.
798
799 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
800 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
801 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
802 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
803
804 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
805 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
806 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
807 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
808 merged into the smtp code).
809
810 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
811 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
812 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
813 of it for us.
814
815 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
816 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
817 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
818 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
819 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
820 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
821 in the appropriate Makefile.in
822
823 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
824
825 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
826 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
827 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
828 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
829 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
830 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
831 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
832 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
833 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
834 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
835 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
836
837 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
838
839 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
840 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
841 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
842 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
843 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
844 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
845 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
846 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
847 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
848
849 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
850
851 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
852 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
853 able to access them.
854
855 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
856
857 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
858 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
859
860 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
861
862 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
863 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
864 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
865 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
866
867 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
868
869 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
870 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
871 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
872 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
873 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
874
875 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
876 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
877
878 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
879
880 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
881
882 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
883 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
884 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
885 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
886
887 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
888 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
889 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
890 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
891
892 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
893 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
894 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
895 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
896
897 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
898 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
899 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
900
901 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
902
903 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
904 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
905 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
906 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
907 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
908 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
909 my users.
910
911 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
912 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
913
914 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
915 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
916
917 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
918
919 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
920
921 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
922
923 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
924 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
925 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
926 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
927
928 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
929
930 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
931 be easily changed from "," to "#".
932
933 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
934
935 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
936
937 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
938 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
939 README.developers.
940
941 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
942
943 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
944 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
945 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
946 but not for the subsequent data stream.
947
948 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
949
950 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
951 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
952 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
953 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
954 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
955
956 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
957
958 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
959 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
960
961 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
962 cat, also define lorder as echo.
963
964 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
965
966 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
967
968 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
969 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
970 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
971
972 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
973
974 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
975 #if 0 block).
976
977 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
978 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
979
980 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
981
982 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
983 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
984
985 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
986
987 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
988 inc does not need to be setgid.
989
990 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
991
992 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
993 library, as found on Debian systems.
994
995 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
996
997 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
998
999 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1000 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1001 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1002 case-insensitivity flag.
1003
1004 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1005
1006 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1007 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1008
1009 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1010
1011 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1012 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1013 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1014 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1015 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1016 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1017 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1018 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1019 getting moved aside).
1020
1021 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1022 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1023
1024 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1025
1026 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1027 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1028 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1029 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1030 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1031 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1032 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1033 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1034 the prototype, but never sets it.
1035
1036 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1037 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1038 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1039 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1040 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1041 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1042
1043 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1044 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1045 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1046 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1047 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1048
1049 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1050
1051 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1052 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1053 of tws.h.
1054
1055 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1056 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1057 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1058 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1059 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1060 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1061 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1062
1063 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1064
1065 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1066
1067 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1068 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1069 this works on other systems.
1070
1071 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1072
1073 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1074 checks for write failures.
1075
1076 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1077
1078 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1079
1080 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1081 is patched in.
1082
1083 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1084
1085 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1086
1087 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1088
1089 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1090 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1091 a buffer boundary.
1092
1093 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1094
1095 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1096 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1097 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1098 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1099
1100 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1101
1102 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1103 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1104 place.
1105
1106 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1107 as well as Makefiles.
1108
1109 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1110
1111 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1112 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1113 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1114 should make maintainability easier.
1115
1116 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1117 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1118 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1119 whatever you know works.
1120
1121 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1122
1123 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1124 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1125 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1126
1127 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1128 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1129 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1130 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1131
1132 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1133 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1134 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1135
1136 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1137 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1138 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1139 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1140 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1141
1142 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1143 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1144 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1145 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1146 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1147 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1148 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1149 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1150 from the BSD version.
1151
1152 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1153 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1154 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1155
1156 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1157 in ruserpass.c also.
1158
1159 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1160 report:
1161
1162 This happens on solaris:
1163
1164 % man mts.conf
1165 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1166 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1167
1168 It is fixed by
1169
1170 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1171
1172 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1173 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1174
1175 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1176
1177 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1178 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1179 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1180 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1181 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1182 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1183 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1184 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1185 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1186 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1187 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1188
1189 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1190 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1191 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1192 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1193 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1194 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1195 out of nowhere.
1196
1197 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1198 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1199 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1200 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1201 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1202
1203 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1204 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1205
1206 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1207
1208 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1209 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1210 to stdin, such as exmh.
1211
1212 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1213 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1214 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1215 other files.
1216
1217 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1218
1219 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1220 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1221 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1222 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1223 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1224 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1225 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1226
1227 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1228
1229 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1230 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1231
1232 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1233
1234 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1235 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1236
1237 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1238
1239 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1240 --enable-apop.
1241
1242 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1243 along with any -host or -user option.
1244
1245 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1246
1247 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1248
1249 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1250 process was fresh in my mind.
1251
1252 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1253
1254 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1255 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1256
1257 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1258
1259 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1260
1261 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1262 patch:
1263
1264 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1265 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1266 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1267 part of the program's name.
1268
1269 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1270 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1271 to quote.
1272
1273 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1274
1275 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1276 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1277 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1278 single-character format would cause programs using this
1279 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1280 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1281 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1282 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1283 in the array.
1284
1285 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1286
1287 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1288 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1289 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1290 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1291 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1292 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1293
1294 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1295 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1296 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1297 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1298 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1299 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1300 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1301 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1302
1303 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1304 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1305 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1306 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1307 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1308 tags, and "&lt;" and "&gt;" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1309 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1310 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1311 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1312 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1313
1314 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1315
1316 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1317 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1318
1319 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1320 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1321
1322 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1323 exit 2
1324
1325 and:
1326
1327 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1328
1329 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1330 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1331 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1332 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1333
1334 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1335 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1336 problem in the routine.
1337
1338 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1339
1340 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1341 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1342
1343 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1344 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1345 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1346 spool somehow.
1347
1348 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1349
1350 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1351 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1352 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1353 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1354 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1355 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1356 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1357 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1358 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1359 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1360
1361 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1362
1363 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1364 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1365 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1366 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1367 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1368 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1369 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1370 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1371 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1372 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1373 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1374 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1375
1376 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1377 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1378 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1379 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1380 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1381
1382 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1383 POP is enabled.
1384
1385 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1386
1387 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1388 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1389 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1390 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1391 here.
1392
1393 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1394
1395 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1396
1397 * Applied, after some finessing,
1398 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1399
1400 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1401
1402 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1403
1404 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1405 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1406 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1407 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1408
1409 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1410
1411 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1412 forgetting to do so!).
1413
1414 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1415 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1416 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1417 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1418 arguments to enable all three types.
1419
1420 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1421 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1422
1423 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1424 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1425 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1426 updated copy of mts.conf.
1427
1428 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1429
1430 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1431 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1432 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1433
1434 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1435 and
1436 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1437
1438 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1439 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1440 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1441
1442 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1443 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1444 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1445
1446 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1447 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1448 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1449
1450 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1451
1452 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1453
1454 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1455
1456 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1457
1458 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1459 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1460
1461 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1462 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1463 certain suffix to run properly.
1464
1465 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1466 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1467 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1468
1469 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1470 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1471 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1472 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1473 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1474 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1475 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1476
1477 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1478
1479 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1480 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1481 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1482 until some year far in the future).
1483
1484 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1485
1486 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1487
1488 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1489 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1490
1491 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1492 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1493 corrupted.
1494
1495 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1496
1497 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1498 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1499 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1500 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1501 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1502 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1503
1504 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1505
1506 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1507
1508 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1509 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1510 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1511
1512 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1513 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1514 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1515 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1516 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1517 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1518 leads me to:
1519
1520 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1521 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1522 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1523 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1524 of masquerading individually.
1525
1526 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1527 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1528 GECOS field delimiters.
1529
1530 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1531
1532 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1533 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1534 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1535 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1536 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1537 and explaining the feature.
1538
1539 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1540
1541 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1542 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1543 so).
1544
1545 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1546 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1547 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1548
1549 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1550 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1551 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1552 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1553
1554 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1555 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1556 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1557 anywhere.
1558
1559 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1560
1561 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1562 code to be executed.
1563
1564 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1565
1566 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1567
1568 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1569 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1570 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1571 quotes embedded in them.
1572
1573 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1574
1575 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1576 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1577 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1578 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1579 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1580 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1581 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1582 allowed to specify.
1583
1584 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1585 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1586 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1587 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1588 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1589
1590 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1591
1592 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1593
1594 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1595 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1596 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1597 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1598
1599 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1600 KPOP server.
1601
1602 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1603
1604 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1605
1606 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1607
1608 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1609 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1610 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1611
1612 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1613 mhn.defaults.sh.
1614
1615 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1616
1617 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1618 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1619 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1620 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1621 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1622 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1623
1624 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1625 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1626
1627 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1628
1629 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1630 page.
1631
1632 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1633
1634 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1635 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1636 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1637 to be setgid.
1638
1639 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1640 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1641 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1642 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1643 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1644 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1645 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1646 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1647 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1648 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1649 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1650 processing that post has).
1651
1652 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1653
1654 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1655 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1656 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1657 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1658 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1659 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1660 Solaris 2.6).
1661
1662 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1663
1664 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1665
1666 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1667
1668 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1669
1670 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1671 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1672
1673 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1674 command-line.
1675
1676 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1677
1678 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1679 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1680 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1681 some development.
1682
1683 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1684
1685 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1686 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1687 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1688 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1689 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1690 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1691
1692 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1693
1694 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1695
1696 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1697
1698 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1699 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1700 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1701 caught again. This works for now.
1702
1703 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1704
1705 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1706
1707 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1708 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1709
1710 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1711
1712 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1713 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1714
1715 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1716
1717 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1718
1719 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1720
1721 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1722 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1723
1724 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1725
1726 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1727 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1728 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1729 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1730 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1731 multiple purposes.
1732
1733 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1734
1735 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1736 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1737 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1738
1739 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1740 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1741 config.guess.
1742
1743 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1744
1745 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1746 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1747 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1748
1749 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1750
1751 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1752 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1753
1754 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1755
1756 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1757 distributed.
1758
1759 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1760 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1761
1762 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1763 macros, regardless of platform.
1764
1765 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1766 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1767
1768 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1769 with x-conversions=gzip.
1770
1771 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1772
1773 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1774 post.c.
1775
1776 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1777 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1778 implicit definition of ioctl().
1779
1780 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1781 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1782 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1783 want to mess with them.
1784
1785 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1786
1787 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1788 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1789
1790 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1791 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1792
1793 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1794 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1795 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1796
1797 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1798 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1799 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1800
1801 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1802 function initgroups.
1803
1804 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1805 function.
1806
1807 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1808 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1809 to fix warnings.
1810
1811 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1812 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1813 prevent warnings.
1814
1815 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1816 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1817 statements).
1818
1819
1820 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1821
1822 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1823 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1824 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1825
1826 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1827 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1828
1829 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1830
1831 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1832
1833 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1834 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1835 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1836 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1837
1838 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1839 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1840
1841 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1842
1843 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1844
1845 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1846
1847 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1848 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1849
1850 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1851
1852 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1853 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1854
1855 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1856 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1857 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1858 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1859
1860 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1861 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1862
1863 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1864
1865 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1866 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1867
1868 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1869
1870 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1871 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1872 proper #defines.
1873
1874 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1875
1876 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1877
1878 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1879
1880 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1881 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1882
1883 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1884 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1885 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1886
1887 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1888 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1889 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1890
1891 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1892 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1893 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1894
1895 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1896 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1897 <swb@nconnect.net>.
1898
1899 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1900 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1901
1902 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1903 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1904
1905 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1906 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1907
1908 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1909 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1910 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1911
1912 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1913 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1914
1915 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1916 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1917 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1918
1919 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1920 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1921 <rmg@netapp.com>.
1922
1923 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1924 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1925
1926 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1927 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1928 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1929 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1930
1931 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1932 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1933
1934 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1935
1936 * Released nmh-1.0.
1937
1938 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1939 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1940 would not be changed.
1941
1942 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1943 one from the Apache web server.
1944
1945 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1946 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1947
1948 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1949 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1950 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1951
1952 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1953
1954 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1955
1956 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1957 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1958 verbose printing).
1959
1960 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1961 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1962 removes a bad race condition.
1963
1964 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1965 style drop file.
1966
1967 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1968 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1969 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1970
1971 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1972 sequence information.
1973
1974 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1975 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1976
1977 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1978 count.
1979
1980 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1981 is empty.
1982
1983 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1984
1985 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1986 interpret 034 as octal.
1987
1988 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1989
1990 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1991 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1992
1993 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1994 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1995
1996 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1997 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1998
1999 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2000 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2001
2002 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2003 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2004
2005 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2006 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2007 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2008
2009 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2010 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2011 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2012
2013 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2014
2015 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2016
2017 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2018 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2019 file "mhoutsbr.c".
2020
2021 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2022
2023 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2024 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2025
2026 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2027 header field information.
2028
2029 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2030 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2031
2032 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2033 values when parsing a content.
2034
2035 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2036 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2037
2038 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2039 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2040
2041 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2042 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2043
2044 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2045 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2046
2047 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2048
2049 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2050
2051 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2052
2053 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2054
2055 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2056 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2057 read.
2058
2059 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2060 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2061
2062 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2063 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2064 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2065 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2066 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2067 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2068 be setuid/setgid.
2069
2070 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2071
2072 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2073 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2074 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2075
2076 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2077 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2078
2079 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2080
2081 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2082 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2083 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2084 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2085
2086 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2087 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2088 fix).
2089
2090 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2091 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2092 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2093 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2094 arguments.
2095
2096 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2097
2098 * Released nmh-0.27.
2099
2100 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2101 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2102
2103 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2104 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2105 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2106 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2107 with no arguments.
2108
2109 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2110 mhbuild returns an error.
2111
2112 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2113 rename the draft file.
2114
2115 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2116 use a global variable.
2117
2118 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2119 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2120
2121 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2122 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2123
2124 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2125 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2126 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2127
2128 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2129 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2130
2131 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2132 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2133 this new page.
2134
2135 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2136 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2137 viamail program.
2138
2139 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2140 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2141
2142 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2143 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2144 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2145
2146 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2147 to new function output_content_folder.
2148
2149 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2150 new function output_content_file.
2151
2152 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2153 to new function parse_format_string.
2154
2155 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2156 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2157 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2158 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2159
2160 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2161 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2162 message/external file from ftp.
2163
2164 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2165 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2166 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2167
2168 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2169 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2170 mhfree.c.
2171
2172 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2173 file mhshowsbr.c.
2174
2175 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2176 new file mhstoresbr.c
2177
2178 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2179 file mhparse.c.
2180
2181 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2182 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2183
2184 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2185 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2186
2187 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2188 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2189 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2190
2191 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2192
2193 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2194
2195 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2196 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2197 to main().
2198
2199 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2200 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2201
2202 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2203 to mhparse.c).
2204
2205 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2206
2207 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2208
2209 * Released nmh-0.26.
2210
2211 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2212 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2213 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2214 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2215
2216 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2217 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2218 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2219 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2220 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2221
2222 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2223 But it is not on by default.
2224
2225 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2226 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2227
2228 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2229
2230 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2231
2232 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2233
2234 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2235
2236 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2237 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2238
2239 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2240
2241 * Released nmh-0.25.
2242
2243 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2244 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2245 uses the original name of the library.
2246
2247 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2248 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2249 links remaining.
2250
2251 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2252 list_content and list_debug.
2253
2254 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2255
2256 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2257 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2258
2259 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2260
2261 * Released nmh-0.24.
2262
2263 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2264
2265 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2266 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2267
2268 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2269 large sequence line.
2270
2271 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2272
2273 * Released nmh-0.23.
2274
2275 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2276
2277 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2278 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2279 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2280 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2281
2282 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2283 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2284 file h/mhnsbr.h.
2285
2286 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2287
2288 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2289
2290 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2291
2292 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2293 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2294
2295 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2296 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2297
2298 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2299 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2300
2301 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2302 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2303
2304 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2305
2306 * Released nmh-0.22.
2307
2308 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2309 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2310
2311 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2312
2313 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2314 mh-profile(5) man page.
2315
2316 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2317 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2318
2319 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2320
2321 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2322
2323 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2324 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2325
2326 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2327
2328 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2329 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2330 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2331
2332 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2333 source message on the standard input.
2334
2335 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2336
2337 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2338 rather than -rfc934mode.
2339
2340 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2341 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2342 only one message.
2343
2344 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2345 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2346
2347 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2348 it is still needed.
2349
2350 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2351
2352 * Released nmh-0.21.
2353
2354 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2355 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2356
2357 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2358 encoding to use.
2359
2360 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2361 to use for text contents.
2362
2363 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2364
2365 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2366
2367 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2368
2369 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2370
2371 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2372 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2373
2374 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2375 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2376 spaces between encoded word are.
2377
2378 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2379
2380 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2381 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2382
2383 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2384 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2385 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2386
2387 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2388
2389 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2390 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2391
2392 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2393
2394 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2395
2396 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2397 ISO-8859-X character set.
2398
2399 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2400 pager more.
2401
2402 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2403 permissions, not write permissions.
2404
2405 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2406 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2407
2408 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2409 distribution.
2410
2411 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2412
2413 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2414
2415 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2416 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2417
2418 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2419 message contains valid character set.
2420
2421 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2422 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2423
2424 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2425 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2426
2427 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2428 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2429 between an encoded word and normal text.
2430
2431 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2432 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2433
2434 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2435 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2436
2437 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2438 and -help.
2439
2440 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2441 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2442 loops).
2443
2444 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2445 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2446
2447 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2448 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2449
2450 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2451
2452 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2453
2454 * Released nmh-0.20.
2455
2456 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2457
2458 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2459
2460 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2461 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2462 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2463
2464 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2465 and the To: line was missing.
2466
2467 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2468
2469 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2470
2471 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2472
2473 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2474 watch the POP transaction.
2475
2476 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2477 first, and use it if available.
2478
2479 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2480 first, and use it if available.
2481
2482 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2483
2484 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2485
2486 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2487 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2488 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2489 sequence line.
2490
2491 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2492 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2493 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2494
2495 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2496 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2497 lines.
2498
2499 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2500
2501 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2502 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2503
2504 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2505
2506 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2507 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2508
2509 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2510 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2511 message to which you are replying.
2512
2513 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2514 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2515 making group replies.
2516
2517 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2518
2519 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2520
2521 * Released nmh-0.19.
2522
2523 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2524 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2525
2526 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2527 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2528 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2529 to the end of the man page.
2530
2531 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2532 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2533 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2534 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2535 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2536 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2537
2538 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2539 pages.
2540
2541 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2542 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2543 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2544
2545 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2546 the next available number above the message number you wish
2547 to preserve.
2548
2549 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2550 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2551
2552 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2553 file sbr/seq_print.c
2554
2555 * flist will now update the current folder.
2556
2557 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2558 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2559 but now undocumented.
2560
2561 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2562 traversing folders.
2563
2564 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2565 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2566
2567 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2568
2569 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2570 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2571
2572 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2573
2574 * Released nmh-0.18.
2575
2576 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2577 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2578 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2579
2580 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2581 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2582
2583 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2584 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2585 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2586 previous public/private status.
2587
2588 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2589 correctly.
2590
2591 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2592 private sequences).
2593
2594 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2595 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2596 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2597
2598 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2599 take option to determine whether it should get current
2600 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2601 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2602
2603 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2604
2605 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2606 wait for stopped processes.
2607
2608 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2609 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2610
2611 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2612
2613 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2614
2615 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2616 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2617
2618 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2619 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2620
2621 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2622 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2623 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2624 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2625
2626 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2627 status allocation).
2628
2629 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2630 the code.
2631
2632 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2633
2634 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2635 the debugging output.
2636
2637 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2638 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2639
2640 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2641
2642 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2643
2644 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2645 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2646
2647 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2648
2649 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2650 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2651 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2652 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2653 in the given sequence.
2654
2655 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2656 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2657 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2658 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2659 subdirectories of a given directory.
2660
2661 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2662 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2663 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2664
2665 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2666 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2667
2668 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2669
2670 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2671 to 0700 (was 0711).
2672
2673 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2674 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2675 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2676
2677 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2678 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2679 are calculated at runtime.
2680
2681 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2682
2683 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2684
2685 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2686 about checking for global mh.profile.
2687
2688 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2689 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2690 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2691 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2692 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2693 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2694
2695 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2696 adding message to folder itself.
2697
2698 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2699 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2700 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2701 instead of exiting.
2702
2703 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2704 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2705 the error EEXIST.
2706
2707 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2708 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2709 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2710
2711 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2712 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2713
2714 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2715 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2716 code to use it yet).
2717
2718 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2719
2720 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2721
2722 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2723 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2724
2725 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2726 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2727
2728 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2729
2730 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2731 to folder_addmsg.c
2732
2733 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2734
2735 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2736
2737 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2738
2739 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2740
2741 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2742 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2743
2744 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2745
2746 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2747
2748 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2749
2750 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2751
2752 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2753
2754 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2755 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2756
2757 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2758 configuration files.
2759
2760 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2761
2762 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2763
2764 * Released nmh-0.17.
2765
2766 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2767
2768 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2769 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2770
2771 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2772 defined.
2773
2774 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2775 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2776
2777 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2778 number of refiled message.
2779
2780 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2781
2782 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2783 for return value of wait().
2784
2785 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2786
2787 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2788
2789 * Released nmh-0.16.
2790
2791 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2792
2793 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2794
2795 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2796 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2797 deal with binary messages, yet).
2798
2799 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2800
2801 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2802
2803 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2804 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2805 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2806 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2807 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2808 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2809
2810 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2811 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2812
2813 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2814 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2815
2816 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2817 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2818 MH-6.8.4 patch).
2819
2820 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2821
2822 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2823
2824 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2825 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2826 composition files.
2827
2828 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2829 files.
2830
2831 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2832
2833 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2834 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2835 which used unsigned chars by default.
2836
2837 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2838
2839 * Released nmh-0.15.
2840
2841 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2842 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2843
2844 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2845
2846 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2847
2848 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2849 return 0.
2850
2851 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2852 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2853 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2854
2855 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2856 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2857
2858 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2859
2860 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2861 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2862
2863 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2864 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2865 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2866 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2867
2868 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2869 and put in own subroutine.
2870
2871 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2872 and put in own subroutine.
2873
2874 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2875 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2876 refile.c to use new routine.
2877
2878 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2879
2880 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2881
2882 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2883 seq_getnum.

2955
2956 * Released nmh-0.13.

2958 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2959 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2960 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2961 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited

2965 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2966
2967 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2968
2969 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if

2989
2990 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2991 mp->attrstats with macros.
2992
2993 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2994 in msh.c instead.
2995
2996 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2997 to hide dd->dd_fd.
2998
2999 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3000 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).

3017 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3018
3019 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3020 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3021
3022 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3023
3024 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.

3047 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3048
3049 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3081
3082 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
3083
3084 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted

3086
3087 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3088
3089 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3090 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3091
3092 * Released nmh-0.08.
3093
3094 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3095 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3096 locking database itself.
3097
3098 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3099
3100 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3101
3102 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in

3107 rather than mmdf format.
3108
3109 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3110 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3111 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3112 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3113
3114 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3115
3116 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3117
3118 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3119 added to packf.
3120
3121 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3122 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3123 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3124
3125 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3126 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3127 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3128
3129 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3130
3131 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3132 can still easily change this in config.h).
3133
3134 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3135 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3136 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3137
3138 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3139
3140 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3155 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3156
3157 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3158 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3159 on SCO 5.x.
3160
3161 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3162 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3163
3164 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3165 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3166
3167 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3168
3169 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3170

3174
3175 * Released nmh-0.06.
3176
3177 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3178 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3179
3180 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3181 many such machines around anymore.
3182
3183 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3184 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.

3192 pre-generated version if necessary.
3193
3194 * Released nmh-0.05.
3195
3196 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3197 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3198 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3199 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3200
3201 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3202 be linked in one pass.
3203
3204 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3205
3206 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3207 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3208
3209 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3210
3211 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.

3213 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3214
3215 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3216 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3217 become the current folder.
3218
3219 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3227
3228 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3229 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3230 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3231
3232 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3233
3234 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3235 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3236
3237 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3238
3239 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3240 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3241 using POP.
3242
3243 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3244 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3245
3246 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3247
3248 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3249 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3250 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3251 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3252 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3253 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3254
3255 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3256
3257 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3258 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3259
3260 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3261 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3262
3263 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3264
3265 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3266 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3267
3268 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3269
3270 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3271 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3272 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3273
3274 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3275
3276 * Released nmh-0.03.
3277
3278 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3279 .mh_sequence file existed.
3280
3281 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3282 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3283
3284 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3285 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3286 man page.
3287
3288 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3294
3295 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3296 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3297 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3298
3299 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3300
3301 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3302 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3303 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.

3338 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3339
3340 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3341 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3342 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3343 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3344 rather than in script.
3345
3346 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3347
3348 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3349

3357
3358 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3359 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3360 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3361 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop

3365
3366 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3367 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3368
3369 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3370 correctly found.
3371
3372 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3373
3374 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3375
3376 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3377 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3378
3379 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3380
3381 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3382 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3383
3384 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3385
3386 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3387 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3388 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3389 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3390 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3391 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3392
3393 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3394
3395 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3396
3397 * Released nmh-0.01.
3398
3399 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3400 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3401 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3402 have POSIX signals.
3403
3404 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3405
3406 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3407 their man pages.
3408
3409 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3410
3411 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3412 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3413
3414 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3415
3416 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3417 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3418 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3419 script to find_program.
3420
3421 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3422
3423 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3424 speed up -recurse option.
3425
3426 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3427 yet, but it compiles :-)
3428
3429 * Changed default location for install to
3430 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3431 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3432 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3433 level Makefile.
3434
3435 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3436 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3437 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
