1 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
4 message's filename overflows an int when converted
6 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
7 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
9 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
11 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
14 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
16 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
17 from Michael Richardson.
19 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
20 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
22 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
24 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
25 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
27 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
29 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
30 find sub-parts of the specified part
32 2003-9-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
33 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
35 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
37 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
40 136976 - Handle binary content messages
41 143427 - mh-format.man typo
42 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
43 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
44 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
45 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
46 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
47 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
48 181867 - typo for nmh.man
50 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
52 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
53 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
54 contitional code which will result in cached data to
55 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
56 and parse on the first use.
57 * Remove some unused flag bits.
59 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
61 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
62 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
64 #578 - repl leaks umask
65 #1393 - sortm core dumps
66 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
67 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
68 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
70 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
71 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
73 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
75 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
76 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
78 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
80 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
81 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
84 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
86 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
88 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
89 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
90 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
91 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
94 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
96 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
97 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
98 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
99 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
100 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
101 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
104 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
105 summary configure prints out.
107 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
108 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
109 subjectively more readable) format.
111 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
113 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
116 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
118 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
119 19xx when it's not necessary.
121 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
123 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
124 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
127 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
128 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
129 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
130 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
131 the man pages correctly.
133 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
135 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
137 * Finished manpages ali-prev
139 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
140 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
141 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
144 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
145 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
146 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
147 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
149 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
151 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
152 the formatting rules I've been using.
156 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
158 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
159 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
160 used in the manpages.
162 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
163 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
164 read in the contents of the file as the variable
167 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
168 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
169 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
170 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
171 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
172 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
173 bold flags and italicized parameters.
175 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
177 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
178 --with-locking option.
180 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
181 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
182 information was not being communicated to the
183 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
184 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
185 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
186 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
187 undefined symbols problems.
189 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
190 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
191 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
192 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
193 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
194 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
195 for a genuine krb4 installation.
197 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
199 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
200 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
202 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
204 * Made a new ./configure option called
205 "--with-locking" that allows the file
206 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
207 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
209 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
210 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
211 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
212 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
213 the user that these are the valid options, and
214 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
217 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
219 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
220 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
221 committed to supporting flex only, since
222 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
223 string, as well as other problems documented
224 below and on nmh-workers.
226 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
227 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
228 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
231 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
232 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
234 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
236 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
237 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
238 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
240 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
242 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
243 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
245 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
247 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
248 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
249 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
250 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
251 couldn't correctly identify them.
253 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
255 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
256 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
257 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
258 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
259 not depending on an external archive.
261 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
262 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
263 mts/generic is no longer built.
265 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
267 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
268 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
269 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
270 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
271 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
272 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
273 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
274 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
276 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
278 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
279 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
282 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
284 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
285 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
286 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
289 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
290 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
291 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
292 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
294 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
295 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
296 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
297 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
298 merged into the smtp code).
300 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
301 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
302 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
305 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
306 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
307 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
308 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
309 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
310 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
311 in the appropriate Makefile.in
313 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
315 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
316 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
317 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
318 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
319 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
320 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
321 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
322 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
323 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
324 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
325 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
327 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
329 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
330 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
331 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
332 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
333 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
334 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
335 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
336 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
337 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
339 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
341 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
342 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
345 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
347 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
348 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
350 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
352 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
353 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
354 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
355 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
357 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
359 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
360 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
361 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
362 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
363 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
365 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
366 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
368 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
370 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
372 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
373 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
374 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
375 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
377 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
378 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
379 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
380 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
382 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
383 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
384 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
385 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
387 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
388 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
389 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
391 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
393 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
394 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
395 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
396 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
397 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
398 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
401 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
402 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
404 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
405 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
407 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
409 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
411 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
413 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
414 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
415 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
416 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
418 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
420 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
421 be easily changed from "," to "#".
423 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
425 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
427 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
428 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
431 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
433 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
434 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
435 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
436 but not for the subsequent data stream.
438 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
440 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
441 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
442 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
443 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
444 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
446 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
448 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
449 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
451 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
452 cat, also define lorder as echo.
454 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
456 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
458 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
459 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
460 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
462 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
464 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
467 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
468 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
470 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
472 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
473 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
475 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
477 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
478 inc does not need to be setgid.
480 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
482 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
483 library, as found on Debian systems.
485 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
487 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
489 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
490 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
491 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
492 case-insensitivity flag.
494 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
496 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
497 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
499 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
501 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
502 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
503 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
504 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
505 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
506 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
507 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
508 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
509 getting moved aside).
511 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
512 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
514 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
516 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
517 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
518 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
519 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
520 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
521 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
522 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
523 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
524 the prototype, but never sets it.
526 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
527 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
528 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
529 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
530 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
531 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
533 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
534 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
535 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
536 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
537 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
539 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
541 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
542 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
545 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
546 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
547 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
548 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
549 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
550 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
551 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
553 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
555 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
557 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
558 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
559 this works on other systems.
561 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
563 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
564 checks for write failures.
566 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
568 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
570 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
573 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
575 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
577 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
579 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
580 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
583 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
585 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
586 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
587 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
588 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
590 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
592 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
593 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
596 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
597 as well as Makefiles.
599 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
601 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
602 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
603 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
604 should make maintainability easier.
606 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
607 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
608 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
609 whatever you know works.
611 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
613 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
614 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
615 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
617 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
618 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
619 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
620 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
622 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
623 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
624 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
626 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
627 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
628 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
629 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
630 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
632 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
633 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
634 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
635 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
636 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
637 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
638 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
639 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
640 from the BSD version.
642 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
643 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
644 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
646 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
649 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
652 This happens on solaris:
655 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
656 No manual entry for mts.conf.
660 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
662 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
663 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
665 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
667 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
668 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
669 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
670 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
671 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
672 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
673 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
674 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
675 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
676 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
677 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
679 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
680 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
681 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
682 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
683 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
684 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
687 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
688 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
689 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
690 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
691 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
693 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
694 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
696 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
698 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
699 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
700 to stdin, such as exmh.
702 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
703 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
704 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
707 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
709 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
710 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
711 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
712 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
713 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
714 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
715 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
717 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
719 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
720 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
722 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
724 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
725 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
727 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
729 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
732 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
733 along with any -host or -user option.
735 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
737 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
739 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
740 process was fresh in my mind.
742 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
744 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
745 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
747 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
749 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
751 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
754 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
755 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
756 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
757 part of the program's name.
759 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
760 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
763 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
765 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
766 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
767 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
768 single-character format would cause programs using this
769 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
770 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
771 when the format string was one character. This eventually
772 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
775 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
777 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
778 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
779 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
780 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
781 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
782 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
784 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
785 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
786 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
787 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
788 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
789 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
790 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
791 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
793 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
794 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
795 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
796 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
797 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
798 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
799 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
800 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
801 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
802 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
804 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
806 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
807 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
809 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
810 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
812 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
817 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
819 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
820 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
821 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
822 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
824 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
825 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
826 problem in the routine.
828 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
830 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
831 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
833 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
834 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
835 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
838 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
840 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
841 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
842 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
843 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
844 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
845 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
846 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
847 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
848 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
849 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
851 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
853 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
854 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
855 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
856 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
857 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
858 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
859 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
860 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
861 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
862 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
863 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
864 interesting than a duplication of the default.
866 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
867 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
868 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
869 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
870 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
872 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
875 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
877 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
878 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
879 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
880 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
883 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
885 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
887 * Applied, after some finessing,
888 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
890 Here's a patch that allows you to add
892 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
894 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
895 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
896 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
897 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
899 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
901 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
902 forgetting to do so!).
904 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
905 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
906 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
907 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
908 arguments to enable all three types.
910 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
911 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
913 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
914 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
915 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
916 updated copy of mts.conf.
918 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
920 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
921 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
922 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
924 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
926 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
928 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
929 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
930 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
932 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
933 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
934 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
936 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
937 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
938 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
940 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
942 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
944 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
946 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
948 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
949 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
951 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
952 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
953 certain suffix to run properly.
955 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
956 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
957 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
959 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
960 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
961 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
962 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
963 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
964 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
965 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
967 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
969 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
970 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
971 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
972 until some year far in the future).
974 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
976 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
978 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
979 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
981 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
982 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
985 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
987 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
988 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
989 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
990 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
991 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
992 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
994 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
996 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
998 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
999 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1000 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1002 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1003 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1004 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1005 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1006 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1007 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1010 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1011 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1012 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1013 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1014 of masquerading individually.
1016 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1017 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1018 GECOS field delimiters.
1020 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1022 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1023 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1024 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1025 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1026 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1027 and explaining the feature.
1029 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1031 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1032 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1035 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1036 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1037 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1039 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1040 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1041 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1042 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1044 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1045 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1046 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1049 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1051 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1052 code to be executed.
1054 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1056 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1058 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1059 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1060 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1061 quotes embedded in them.
1063 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1065 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1066 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1067 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1068 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1069 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1070 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1071 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1074 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1075 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1076 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1077 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1078 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1080 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1082 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1084 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1085 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1086 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1087 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1089 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1092 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1094 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1096 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1098 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1099 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1100 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1102 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1105 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1107 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1108 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1109 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1110 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1111 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1112 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1114 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1115 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1117 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1119 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1122 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1124 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1125 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1126 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1129 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1130 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1131 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1132 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1133 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1134 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1135 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1136 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1137 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1138 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1139 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1140 processing that post has).
1142 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1144 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1145 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1146 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1147 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1148 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1149 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1152 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1154 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1156 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1158 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1160 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1161 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1163 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1166 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1168 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1169 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1170 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1173 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1175 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1176 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1177 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1178 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1179 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1180 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1182 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1184 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1186 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1188 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1189 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1190 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1191 caught again. This works for now.
1193 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1195 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1197 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1198 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1200 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1202 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1203 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1205 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1207 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1209 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1211 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1212 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1214 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1216 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1217 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1218 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1219 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1220 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1223 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1225 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1226 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1227 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1229 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1230 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1233 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1235 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1236 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1237 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1239 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1241 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1242 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1244 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1246 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1249 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1250 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1252 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1253 macros, regardless of platform.
1255 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1256 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1258 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1259 with x-conversions=gzip.
1261 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1263 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1266 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1267 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1268 implicit definition of ioctl().
1270 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1271 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1272 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1273 want to mess with them.
1275 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1277 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1278 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1280 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1281 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1283 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1284 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1285 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1287 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1288 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1289 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1291 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1292 function initgroups.
1294 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1297 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1298 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1301 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1302 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1305 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1306 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1310 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1312 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1313 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1314 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1316 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1317 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1319 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1321 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1323 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1324 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1325 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1326 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1328 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1329 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1331 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1333 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1335 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1337 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1338 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1340 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1342 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1343 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1345 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1346 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1347 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1348 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1350 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1351 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1353 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1355 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1356 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1358 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1360 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1361 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1364 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1366 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1368 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1370 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1371 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1373 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1374 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1375 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1377 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1378 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1379 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1381 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1382 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1383 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1385 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1386 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1389 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1390 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1392 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1393 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1395 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1396 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1398 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1399 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1400 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1402 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1403 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1405 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1406 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1407 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1409 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1410 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1413 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1414 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1416 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1417 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1418 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1419 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1421 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1422 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1424 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1428 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1429 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1430 would not be changed.
1432 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1433 one from the Apache web server.
1435 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1436 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1438 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1439 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1440 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1442 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1444 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1446 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1447 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1450 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1451 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1452 removes a bad race condition.
1454 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1457 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1458 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1459 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1461 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1462 sequence information.
1464 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1465 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1467 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1470 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1473 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1475 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1476 interpret 034 as octal.
1478 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1480 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1481 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1483 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1484 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1486 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1487 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1489 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1490 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1492 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1493 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1495 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1496 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1497 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1499 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1500 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1501 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1503 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1505 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1507 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1508 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1511 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1513 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1514 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1516 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1517 header field information.
1519 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1520 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1522 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1523 values when parsing a content.
1525 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1526 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1528 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1529 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1531 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1532 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1534 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1535 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1537 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1539 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1541 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1543 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1545 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1546 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1549 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1550 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1552 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1553 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1554 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1555 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1556 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1557 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1560 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1562 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1563 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1564 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1566 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1567 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1569 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1571 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1572 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1573 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1574 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1576 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1577 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1580 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1581 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1582 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1583 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1586 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1588 * Released nmh-0.27.
1590 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1591 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1593 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1594 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1595 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1596 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1599 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1600 mhbuild returns an error.
1602 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1603 rename the draft file.
1605 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1606 use a global variable.
1608 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1609 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1611 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1612 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1614 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1615 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1616 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1618 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1619 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1621 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1622 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1625 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1626 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1629 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1630 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1632 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1633 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1634 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1636 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1637 to new function output_content_folder.
1639 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1640 new function output_content_file.
1642 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1643 to new function parse_format_string.
1645 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1646 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1647 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1648 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1650 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1651 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1652 message/external file from ftp.
1654 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1655 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1656 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1658 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1659 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1662 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1665 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1666 new file mhstoresbr.c
1668 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1671 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1672 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1674 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1675 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1677 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1678 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1679 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1681 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1683 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1685 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1686 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1689 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1690 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1692 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1695 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1697 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1699 * Released nmh-0.26.
1701 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1702 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1703 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1704 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1706 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1707 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1708 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1709 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1710 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1712 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1713 But it is not on by default.
1715 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1716 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1718 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1720 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1722 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1724 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1726 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1727 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1729 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1731 * Released nmh-0.25.
1733 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1734 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1735 uses the original name of the library.
1737 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1738 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1741 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1742 list_content and list_debug.
1744 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1746 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1747 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1749 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1751 * Released nmh-0.24.
1753 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1755 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1756 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1758 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1759 large sequence line.
1761 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1763 * Released nmh-0.23.
1765 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1767 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1768 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1769 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1770 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1772 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1773 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1776 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1778 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1780 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1782 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1783 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1785 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1786 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1788 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1789 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1791 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1792 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1794 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1796 * Released nmh-0.22.
1798 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1799 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1801 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1803 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1804 mh-profile(5) man page.
1806 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1807 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1809 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1811 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1813 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1814 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1816 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1818 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1819 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1820 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1822 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1823 source message on the standard input.
1825 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1827 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1828 rather than -rfc934mode.
1830 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1831 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1834 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1835 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1837 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1840 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1842 * Released nmh-0.21.
1844 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1845 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1847 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1850 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1851 to use for text contents.
1853 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1855 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1857 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1859 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1861 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1862 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1864 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1865 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1866 spaces between encoded word are.
1868 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1870 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1871 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1873 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1874 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1875 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1877 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1879 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1880 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1882 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1884 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1886 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1887 ISO-8859-X character set.
1889 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1892 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1893 permissions, not write permissions.
1895 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1896 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1898 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1901 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1903 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1905 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1906 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1908 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1909 message contains valid character set.
1911 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1912 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1914 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1915 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1917 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1918 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1919 between an encoded word and normal text.
1921 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1922 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1924 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1925 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1927 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1930 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1931 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1934 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1935 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1937 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1938 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1940 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1942 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1944 * Released nmh-0.20.
1946 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1948 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1950 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1951 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1952 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1954 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1955 and the To: line was missing.
1957 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1959 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1961 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1963 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1964 watch the POP transaction.
1966 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1967 first, and use it if available.
1969 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1970 first, and use it if available.
1972 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1974 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1976 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1977 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1978 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1981 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1982 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1983 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1985 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1986 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1989 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1991 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1992 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1994 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1996 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1997 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1999 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2000 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2001 message to which you are replying.
2003 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2004 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2005 making group replies.
2007 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2009 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2011 * Released nmh-0.19.
2013 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2014 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2016 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2017 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2018 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2019 to the end of the man page.
2021 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2022 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2023 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2024 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2025 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2026 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2028 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2031 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2032 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2033 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2035 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2036 the next available number above the message number you wish
2039 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2040 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2042 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2043 file sbr/seq_print.c
2045 * flist will now update the current folder.
2047 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2048 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2049 but now undocumented.
2051 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2054 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2055 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2057 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2059 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2060 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2062 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2064 * Released nmh-0.18.
2066 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2067 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2068 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2070 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2071 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2073 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2074 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2075 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2076 previous public/private status.
2078 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2081 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2084 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2085 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2086 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2088 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2089 take option to determine whether it should get current
2090 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2091 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2093 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2095 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2096 wait for stopped processes.
2098 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2099 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2101 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2103 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2105 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2106 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2108 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2109 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2111 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2112 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2113 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2114 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2116 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2119 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2122 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2124 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2125 the debugging output.
2127 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2128 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2130 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2132 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2134 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2135 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2137 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2139 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2140 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2141 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2142 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2143 in the given sequence.
2145 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2146 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2147 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2148 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2149 subdirectories of a given directory.
2151 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2152 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2153 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2155 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2156 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2158 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2160 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2163 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2164 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2165 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2167 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2168 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2169 are calculated at runtime.
2171 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2173 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2175 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2176 about checking for global mh.profile.
2178 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2179 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2180 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2181 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2182 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2183 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2185 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2186 adding message to folder itself.
2188 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2189 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2190 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2193 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2194 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2197 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2198 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2199 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2201 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2202 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2204 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2205 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2206 code to use it yet).
2208 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2210 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2212 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2213 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2215 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2216 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2218 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2220 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2223 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2225 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2227 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2229 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2231 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2232 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2234 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2236 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2238 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2240 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2242 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2244 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2245 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2247 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2248 configuration files.
2250 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2252 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2254 * Released nmh-0.17.
2256 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2258 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2259 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2261 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2264 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2265 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2267 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2268 number of refiled message.
2270 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2272 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2273 for return value of wait().
2275 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2277 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2279 * Released nmh-0.16.
2281 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2283 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2285 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2286 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2287 deal with binary messages, yet).
2289 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2291 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2293 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2294 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2295 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2296 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2297 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2298 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2300 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2301 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2303 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2304 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2306 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2307 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2310 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2312 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2314 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2315 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2318 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2321 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2323 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2324 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2325 which used unsigned chars by default.

2329 * Released nmh-0.15.
2331 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2336 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2338 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2341 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2342 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2343 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2345 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2346 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2348 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2350 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2351 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2353 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2354 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2355 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2356 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2358 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2359 and put in own subroutine.
2361 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2362 and put in own subroutine.
2364 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2365 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2366 refile.c to use new routine.

2370 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2372 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2375 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2376 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2377 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2379 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2382 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2386 corresponding file in sbr.
2388 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2391 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2393 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2394 all selected messages from a sequence.
2396 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2397 selected messages to a sequence.
2399 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2402 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2404 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2405 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2407 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2409 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2428 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2429 environment variable.
2431 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2432 draft folder facility in nmh.
2434 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2446 * Released nmh-0.13.
2448 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2449 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2450 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2451 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2454 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2455 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2457 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2459 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2460 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2462 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2464 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2489 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2490 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2492 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2493 will suppress the display of the message header.
2495 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2497 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2498 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2500 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2502 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2504 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2506 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2507 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2509 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2510 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2512 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2514 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2516 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2517 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2519 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2520 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2522 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2524 * Released nmh-0.10.

2534 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2536 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2537 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2539 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2540 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2542 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2544 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2545 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2547 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2549 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2577 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2579 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2580 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2582 * Released nmh-0.08.
2584 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2585 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2586 locking database itself.
2588 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2590 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2592 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2593 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2596 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2597 rather than mmdf format.
2599 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2600 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2601 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2602 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2604 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2606 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2608 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2611 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2612 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2613 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2615 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2616 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2617 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2619 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2621 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2622 can still easily change this in config.h).
2624 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2625 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2626 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2628 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2630 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2644 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2645 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2647 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2648 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2651 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2652 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2654 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code

2665 * Released nmh-0.06.
2667 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2668 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2670 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2671 many such machines around anymore.
2673 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2674 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2676 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2677 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2679 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2681 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2682 pre-generated version if necessary.
2684 * Released nmh-0.05.
2686 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2687 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2688 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2689 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2691 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2692 be linked in one pass.
2694 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2696 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2697 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2699 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2701 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2703 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2705 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2706 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2707 become the current folder.
2709 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2711 * Released nmh-0.04.

2716 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2718 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2719 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2720 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2722 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2724 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2725 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2727 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2729 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2730 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2733 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2734 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2736 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2738 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2739 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2740 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2741 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2742 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2743 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2745 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2747 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2748 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2750 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2751 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2753 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2755 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2756 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2758 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2760 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2761 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2762 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2764 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2766 * Released nmh-0.03.
2768 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2769 .mh_sequence file existed.
2771 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2772 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2774 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2775 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2778 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2780 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2783 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2785 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2786 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2787 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2789 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2791 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2792 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2793 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2795 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2797 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2798 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2800 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2802 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2804 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2805 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2806 directory from where the source code is located.
2808 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2810 * Released nmh-0.02.

2824 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2826 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2828 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2830 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2831 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2832 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2833 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2834 rather than in script.
2836 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2838 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2840 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

2845 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2846 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2848 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2849 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2850 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2851 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2854 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2856 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2857 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2859 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2862 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2864 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2866 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2867 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2869 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2871 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2872 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2874 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2876 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2877 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2878 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2879 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2880 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2881 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.

2885 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2887 * Released nmh-0.01.
2889 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2890 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2891 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't

2906 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults

2913 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2914 speed up -recurse option.

2917 yet, but it compiles :-)
2919 * Changed default location for install to
2920 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2921 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2922 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2925 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2926 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2927 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
