   1 Things to add to the release notes for the next full release:
   2
   3 ------------
   4 NEW FEATURES
   5 ------------
   6
   7 - The default editor has been changed from 'vi' to 'prompter', to align with
   8   historical practice and reduce packaging dependencies on external programs.
   9 - A new -checkbase64 switch to mhfixmsg(1).
  10 - inc(1)/msgchk(1) now support STARTTLS for the POP protocol.
  11 - All TLS-supported protocols now will send the SNI (server name indicator)
  12   TLS extension.
  13 - A new mh-format function %(ordinal) has been implemented to output the
  14   appropriate ordinal suffix for numbers.  Example: "%(num 22)%(ordinal)"
  15   will output "22nd".
  16 - show and mhl now decode more addresses in header fields.
  17
  18 -----------------
  19 OBSOLETE FEATURES
  20 -----------------
  21
  22 - The MIME content cache functionality has been mostly non-functional since
  23   the development on nmh, and consequently all of the content caching code
  24   and related switches (-cache/-rcache/-wcache) have been removed.
  25 - Support for generating and reassembling message/partial messags has been
  26   removed; it seems that this has been broken since 1.5 and there is very
  27   little support across MUAs.
  28
  29 -------------------
  30 DEPRECATED FEATURES
  31 -------------------
  32
  33 - The generation and verification of Content-MD5 headers is no longer
  34   performed.  The -check and -nocheck switches to various nmh programs
  35   that would control this functionality still exist, but are non-functional
  36   and will be removed in the next release.
  37
  38 ---------
  39 BUG FIXES
  40 ---------
  41
  42 - Fixed bcc to work with sendmail/pipe, and better documented that dcc
  43   doesn't work with it [Bug 55700].
  44 - An -attendee switch has been added to mhical(1), for use when more than one
  45   (or zero) attendees match a user's mailbox.
  46 - Fixed inc(1) and %(me) function escape to not obey Local-Mailbox profile
  47   component.
