Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my scan.MMDDYY and
[nmh] / ChangeLog

2
3 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
4 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
5 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
6 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
7 9999. Changed these to 4. I had already removed the "replied /
8 encrypted" column in YYYYMMDD, but this time I removed it on
9 MMDDYY as well (I've never seen it used...).
10
11 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
12
13 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
14 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
15 able to access them.
16
17 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
18
19 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
20 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
21
22 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
23
24 * Fixed install in etc/Makefile.in so it wouldn't fail when
25 configuring and building outside the source tree.
26
27 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
28
29 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
30 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
31 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
32 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
33 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
34
35 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
36 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
37
38 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
39
40 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
41
42 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
43 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
44 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
45 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
46
47 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
48 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
49 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
50 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
51
52 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
53 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
54 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
55 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
56
57 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
58 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
59 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
60
61 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
62
63 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
64 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
65 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
66 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
67 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
68 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
69 my users.
70
71 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
72 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
73
74 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
75 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
76
77 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
78
79 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
80
81 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
82
83 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
84 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
85 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
86 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
87
88 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
89
90 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
91 be easily changed from "," to "#".
92
93 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
94
95 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
96
97 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
98 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
99 README.developers.
100
101 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
102
103 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
104 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
105 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
106 but not for the subsequent data stream.
107
108 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
109
110 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
111 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
112 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
113 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
114 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
115
116 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
117
118 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
119 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
120
121 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
122 cat, also define lorder as echo.
123
124 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
125
126 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
127
128 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
129 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
130 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
131
132 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
133
134 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
135 #if 0 block).
136
137 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
138 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
139
140 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
141
142 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
143 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
144
145 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
146
147 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
148 inc does not need to be setgid.
149
150 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
151
152 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
153 library, as found on Debian systems.
154
155 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
156
157 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
158
159 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
160 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
161 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
162 case-insensitivity flag.
163
164 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
165
166 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
167 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
168
169 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
170
171 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
172 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
173 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
174 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
175 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
176 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
177 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
178 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
179 getting moved aside).
180
181 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
182 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
183
184 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
185
186 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
187 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
188 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
189 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
190 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
191 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
192 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
193 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
194 the prototype, but never sets it.
195
196 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
197 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
198 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
199 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
200 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
201 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
202
203 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
204 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
205 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
206 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
207 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
208
209 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
210
211 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
212 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
213 of tws.h.
214
215 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
216 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
217 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
218 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
219 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
220 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
221 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
222
223 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
224
225 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
226
227 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
228 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
229 this works on other systems.
230
231 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
232
233 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
234 checks for write failures.
235
236 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
237
238 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
239
240 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
241 is patched in.
242
243 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
244
245 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
246
247 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
248
249 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
250 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
251 a buffer boundary.
252
253 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
254
255 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
256 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
257 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
258 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
259
260 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
261
262 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
263 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
264 place.
265
266 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
267 as well as Makefiles.
268
269 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
270
271 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
272 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
273 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
274 should make maintainability easier.
275
276 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
277 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
278 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
279 whatever you know works.
280
281 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
282
283 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
284 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
285 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
286
287 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
288 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
289 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
290 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
291
292 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
293 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
294 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
295
296 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
297 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
298 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
299 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
300 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
301
302 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
303 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
304 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
305 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
306 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
307 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
308 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
309 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
310 from the BSD version.
311
312 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
313 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
314 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
315
316 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
317 in ruserpass.c also.
318
319 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
320 report:
321
322 This happens on solaris:
323
324 % man mts.conf
325 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
326 No manual entry for mts.conf.
327
328 It is fixed by
329
330 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
331
332 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
333 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
334
335 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
336
337 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
338 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
339 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
340 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
341 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
342 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
343 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
344 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
345 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
346 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
347 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
348
349 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
350 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
351 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
352 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
353 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
354 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
355 out of nowhere.
356
357 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
358 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
359 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
360 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
361 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
362
363 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
364 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
365
366 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
367
368 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
369 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
370 to stdin, such as exmh.
371
372 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
373 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
374 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
375 other files.
376
377 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
378
379 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
380 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
381 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
382 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
383 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
384 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
385 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
386
387 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
388
389 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
390 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
391
392 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
393
394 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
395 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
396
397 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
398
399 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
400 --enable-apop.
401
402 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
403 along with any -host or -user option.
404
405 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
406
407 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
408
409 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
410 process was fresh in my mind.
411
412 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
413
414 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
415 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
416
417 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
418
419 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
420
421 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
422 patch:
423
424 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
425 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
426 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
427 part of the program's name.
428
429 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
430 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
431 to quote.
432
433 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
434
435 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
436 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
437 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
438 single-character format would cause programs using this
439 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
440 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
441 when the format string was one character. This eventually
442 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
443 in the array.
444
445 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
446
447 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
448 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
449 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
450 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
451 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
452 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
453
454 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
455 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
456 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
457 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
458 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
459 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
460 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
461 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
462
463 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
464 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
465 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
466 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
467 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
468 tags, and "&lt;" and "&gt;" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
469 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
470 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
471 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
472 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
473
474 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
475
476 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
477 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
478
479 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
480 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
481
482 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
483 exit 2
484
485 and:
486
487 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
488
489 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
490 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
491 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
492 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
493
494 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
495 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
496 problem in the routine.
497
498 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
499
500 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
501 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
502
503 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
504 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
505 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
506 spool somehow.
507
508 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
509
510 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
511 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
512 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
513 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
514 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
515 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
516 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
517 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
518 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
519 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
520
521 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
522
523 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
524 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
525 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
526 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
527 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
528 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
529 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
530 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
531 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
532 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
533 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
534 interesting than a duplication of the default.
535
536 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
537 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
538 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
539 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
540 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
541
542 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
543 POP is enabled.
544
545 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
546
547 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
548 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
549 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
550 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
551 here.
552
553 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
554
555 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
556
557 * Applied, after some finessing,
558 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
559
560 Here's a patch that allows you to add
561
562 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
563
564 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
565 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
566 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
567 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
568
569 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
570
571 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
572 forgetting to do so!).
573
574 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
575 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
576 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
577 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
578 arguments to enable all three types.
579
580 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
581 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
582
583 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
584 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
585 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
586 updated copy of mts.conf.
587
588 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
589
590 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
591 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
592 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
593
594 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
595 and
596 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
597
598 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
599 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
600 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
601
602 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
603 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
604 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
605
606 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
607 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
608 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
609
610 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
611
612 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
613
614 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
615
616 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
617
618 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
619 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
620
621 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
622 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
623 certain suffix to run properly.
624
625 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
626 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
627 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
628
629 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
630 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
631 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
632 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
633 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
634 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
635 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
636
637 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
638
639 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
640 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
641 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
642 until some year far in the future).
643
644 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
645
646 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
647
648 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
649 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
650
651 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
652 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
653 corrupted.
654
655 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
656
657 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
658 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
659 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
660 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
661 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
662 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
663
664 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
665
666 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
667
668 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
669 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
670 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
671
672 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
673 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
674 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
675 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
676 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
677 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
678 leads me to:
679
680 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
681 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
682 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
683 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
684 of masquerading individually.
685
686 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
687 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
688 GECOS field delimiters.
689
690 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
691
692 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
693 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
694 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
695 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
696 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
697 and explaining the feature.
698
699 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
700
701 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
702 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
703 so).
704
705 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
706 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
707 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
708
709 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
710 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
711 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
712 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
713
714 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
715 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
716 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
717 anywhere.
718
719 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
720
721 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
722 code to be executed.
723
724 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
725
726 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
727
728 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
729 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
730 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
731 quotes embedded in them.
732
733 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
734
735 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
736 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
737 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
738 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
739 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
740 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
741 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
742 allowed to specify.
743
744 The other theory is that because you can say something like
745 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
746 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
747 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
748 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
749
750 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
751
752 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
753
754 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
755 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
756 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
757 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
758
759 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
760 KPOP server.
761
762 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
763
764 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
765
766 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
767
768 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
769 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
770 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
771
772 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
773 mhn.defaults.sh.
774
775 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
776
777 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
778 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
779 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
780 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
781 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
782 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
783
784 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
785 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
786
787 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
788
789 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
790 page.
791
792 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
793
794 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
795 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
796 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
797 to be setgid.
798
799 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
800 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
801 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
802 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
803 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
804 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
805 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
806 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
807 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
808 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
809 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
810 processing that post has).
811
812 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
813
814 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
815 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
816 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
817 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
818 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
819 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
820 Solaris 2.6).
821
822 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
823
824 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
825
826 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
827
828 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
829
830 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
831 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
832
833 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
834 command-line.
835
836 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
837
838 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
839 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
840 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
841 some development.
842
843 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
844
845 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
846 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
847 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
848 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
849 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
850 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
851
852 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
853
854 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
855
856 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
857
858 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
859 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
860 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
861 caught again. This works for now.
862
863 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
864
865 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
866
867 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
868 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
869
870 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
871
872 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
873 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
874
875 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
876
877 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
878
879 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
880
881 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
882 changes. Both need more cleanup.
883
884 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
885
886 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
887 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
888 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
889 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
890 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
891 multiple purposes.
892
893 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
894
895 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
896 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
897 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
898
899 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
900 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
901 config.guess.
902
903 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
904
905 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
906 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
907 to a directory on another device with more free space.
908
909 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
910
911 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
912 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
913
914 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
915
916 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
917 distributed.
918
919 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
920 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
921
922 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
923 macros, regardless of platform.
924
925 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
926 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
927
928 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
929 with x-conversions=gzip.
930
931 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
932
933 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
934 post.c.
935
936 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
937 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
938 implicit definition of ioctl().
939
940 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
941 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
942 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
943 want to mess with them.
944
945 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
946
947 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
948 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
949
950 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
951 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
952
953 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
954 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
955 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
956
957 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
958 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
959 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
960
961 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
962 function initgroups.
963
964 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
965 function.
966
967 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
968 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
969 to fix warnings.
970
971 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
972 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
973 prevent warnings.
974
975 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
976 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
977 statements).
978
979
980 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
981
982 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
983 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
984 preventing compilation on at least linux.
985
986 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
987 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
988
989 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
990
991 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
992
993 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
994 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
995 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
996 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
997
998 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
999 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1000
1001 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1002
1003 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1004
1005 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1006
1007 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1008 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1009
1010 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1011
1012 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1013 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1014
1015 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1016 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1017 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1018 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1019
1020 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1021 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1022
1023 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1024
1025 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1026 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1027
1028 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1029
1030 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1031 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1032 proper #defines.
1033
1034 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1035
1036 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1037
1038 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1039
1040 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1041 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1042
1043 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1044 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1045 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1046
1047 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1048 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1049 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1050
1051 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1052 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1053 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1054
1055 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1056 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1057 <swb@nconnect.net>.
1058
1059 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1060 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1061
1062 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1063 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1064
1065 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1066 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1067
1068 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1069 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1070 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1071
1072 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1073 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1074
1075 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1076 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1077 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1078
1079 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1080 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1081 <rmg@netapp.com>.
1082
1083 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1084 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1085
1086 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1087 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1088 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1089 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1090
1091 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1092 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1093
1094 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1095
1096 * Released nmh-1.0.
1097
1098 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1099 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1100 would not be changed.
1101
1102 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1103 one from the Apache web server.
1104
1105 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1106 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1107
1108 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1109 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1110 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1111
1112 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1113
1114 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1115
1116 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1117 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1118 verbose printing).
1119
1120 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1121 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1122 removes a bad race condition.
1123
1124 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1125 style drop file.
1126
1127 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1128 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1129 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1130
1131 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1132 sequence information.
1133
1134 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1135 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1136
1137 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1138 count.
1139
1140 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1141 is empty.
1142
1143 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1144
1145 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1146 interpret 034 as octal.
1147
1148 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1149
1150 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1151 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1152
1153 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1154 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1155
1156 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1157 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1158
1159 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1160 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1161
1162 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1163 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1164
1165 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1166 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1167 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1168
1169 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1170 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1171 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1172
1173 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1174
1175 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1176
1177 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1178 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1179 file "mhoutsbr.c".
1180
1181 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1182
1183 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1184 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1185
1186 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1187 header field information.
1188
1189 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1190 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1191
1192 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1193 values when parsing a content.
1194
1195 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1196 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1197
1198 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1199 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1200
1201 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1202 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1203
1204 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1205 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1206
1207 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1208
1209 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1210
1211 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1212
1213 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1214
1215 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1216 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1217 read.
1218
1219 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1220 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1221
1222 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1223 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1224 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1225 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1226 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1227 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1228 be setuid/setgid.
1229
1230 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1231
1232 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1233 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1234 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1235
1236 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1237 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1238
1239 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1240
1241 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1242 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1243 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1244 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1245
1246 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1247 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1248 fix).
1249
1250 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1251 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1252 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1253 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1254 arguments.
1255
1256 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1257
1258 * Released nmh-0.27.
1259
1260 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1261 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1262
1263 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1264 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1265 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1266 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1267 with no arguments.
1268
1269 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1270 mhbuild returns an error.
1271
1272 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1273 rename the draft file.
1274
1275 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1276 use a global variable.
1277
1278 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1279 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1280
1281 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1282 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1283
1284 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1285 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1286 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1287
1288 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1289 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1290
1291 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1292 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1293 this new page.
1294
1295 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1296 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1297 viamail program.
1298
1299 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1300 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1301
1302 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1303 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1304 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1305
1306 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1307 to new function output_content_folder.
1308
1309 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1310 new function output_content_file.
1311
1312 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1313 to new function parse_format_string.
1314
1315 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1316 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1317 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1318 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1319
1320 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1321 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1322 message/external file from ftp.
1323
1324 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1325 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1326 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1327
1328 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1329 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1330 mhfree.c.
1331
1332 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1333 file mhshowsbr.c.
1334
1335 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1336 new file mhstoresbr.c
1337
1338 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1339 file mhparse.c.
1340
1341 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1342 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1343
1344 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1345 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1346
1347 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1348 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1349 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1350
1351 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1352
1353 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1354
1355 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1356 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1357 to main().
1358
1359 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1360 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1361
1362 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1363 to mhparse.c).
1364
1365 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1366
1367 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1368
1369 * Released nmh-0.26.
1370
1371 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1372 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1373 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1374 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1375
1376 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1377 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1378 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1379 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1380 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1381
1382 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1383 But it is not on by default.
1384
1385 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1386 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1387
1388 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1389
1390 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1391
1392 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1393
1394 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1395
1396 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1397 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1398
1399 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1400
1401 * Released nmh-0.25.
1402
1403 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1404 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1405 uses the original name of the library.
1406
1407 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1408 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1409 links remaining.
1410
1411 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1412 list_content and list_debug.
1413
1414 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1415
1416 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1417 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1418
1419 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1420
1421 * Released nmh-0.24.
1422
1423 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1424
1425 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1426 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1427
1428 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1429 large sequence line.
1430
1431 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1432
1433 * Released nmh-0.23.
1434
1435 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1436
1437 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1438 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1439 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1440 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1441
1442 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1443 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1444 file h/mhnsbr.h.
1445
1446 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1447
1448 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1449
1450 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1451
1452 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1453 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1454
1455 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1456 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1457
1458 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1459 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1460
1461 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1462 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1463
1464 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1465
1466 * Released nmh-0.22.
1467
1468 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1469 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1470
1471 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1472
1473 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1474 mh-profile(5) man page.
1475
1476 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1477 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1478
1479 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1480
1481 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1482
1483 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1484 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1485
1486 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1487
1488 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1489 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1490 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1491
1492 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1493 source message on the standard input.
1494
1495 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1496
1497 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1498 rather than -rfc934mode.
1499
1500 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1501 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1502 only one message.
1503
1504 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1505 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1506
1507 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1508 it is still needed.
1509
1510 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1511
1512 * Released nmh-0.21.
1513
1514 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1515 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1516
1517 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1518 encoding to use.
1519
1520 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1521 to use for text contents.
1522
1523 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1524
1525 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1526
1527 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1528
1529 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1530
1531 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1532 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1533
1534 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1535 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1536 spaces between encoded word are.
1537
1538 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1539
1540 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1541 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1542
1543 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1544 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1545 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1546
1547 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1548
1549 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1550 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1551
1552 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1553
1554 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1555
1556 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1557 ISO-8859-X character set.
1558
1559 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1560 pager more.
1561
1562 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1563 permissions, not write permissions.
1564
1565 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1566 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1567
1568 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1569 distribution.
1570
1571 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1572
1573 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1574
1575 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1576 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1577
1578 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1579 message contains valid character set.
1580
1581 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1582 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1583
1584 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1585 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1586
1587 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1588 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1589 between an encoded word and normal text.
1590
1591 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1592 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1593
1594 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1595 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1596
1597 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1598 and -help.
1599
1600 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1601 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1602 loops).
1603
1604 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1605 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1606
1607 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1608 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1609
1610 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1611
1612 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1613
1614 * Released nmh-0.20.
1615
1616 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1617
1618 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1619
1620 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1621 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1622 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1623
1624 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1625 and the To: line was missing.
1626
1627 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1628
1629 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1630
1631 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1632
1633 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1634 watch the POP transaction.
1635
1636 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1637 first, and use it if available.
1638
1639 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1640 first, and use it if available.
1641
1642 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1643
1644 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1645
1646 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1647 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1648 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1649 sequence line.
1650
1651 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1652 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1653 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1654
1655 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1656 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1657 lines.
1658
1659 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1660
1661 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1662 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1663
1664 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1665
1666 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1667 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1668
1669 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1670 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1671 message to which you are replying.
1672
1673 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1674 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1675 making group replies.
1676
1677 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1678
1679 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1680
1681 * Released nmh-0.19.
1682
1683 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1684 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1685
1686 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1687 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1688 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1689 to the end of the man page.
1690
1691 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1692 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1693 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1694 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1695 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1696 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1697
1698 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1699 pages.
1700
1701 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1702 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1703 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1704
1705 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1706 the next available number above the message number you wish
1707 to preserve.
1708
1709 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1710 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1711
1712 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1713 file sbr/seq_print.c
1714
1715 * flist will now update the current folder.
1716
1717 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1718 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1719 but now undocumented.
1720
1721 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1722 traversing folders.
1723
1724 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1725 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1726
1727 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1728
1729 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1730 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1731
1732 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1733
1734 * Released nmh-0.18.
1735
1736 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1737 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1738 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1739
1740 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1741 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1742
1743 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1744 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1745 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1746 previous public/private status.
1747
1748 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1749 correctly.
1750
1751 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1752 private sequences).
1753
1754 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1755 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1756 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1757
1758 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1759 take option to determine whether it should get current
1760 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1761 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1762
1763 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1764
1765 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1766 wait for stopped processes.
1767
1768 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1769 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1770
1771 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1772
1773 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1774
1775 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1776 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1777
1778 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1779 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1780
1781 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1782 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1783 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1784 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1785
1786 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1787 status allocation).
1788
1789 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1790 the code.
1791
1792 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1793
1794 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1795 the debugging output.
1796
1797 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1798 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1799
1800 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1801
1802 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1803
1804 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1805 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1806
1807 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1808
1809 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1810 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1811 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1812 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1813 in the given sequence.
1814
1815 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1816 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1817 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1818 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1819 subdirectories of a given directory.
1820
1821 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1822 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1823 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1824
1825 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1826 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1827
1828 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1829
1830 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1831 to 0700 (was 0711).
1832
1833 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1834 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1835 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1836
1837 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1838 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1839 are calculated at runtime.
1840
1841 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1842
1843 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1844
1845 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1846 about checking for global mh.profile.
1847
1848 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1849 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1850 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1851 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1852 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1853 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1854
1855 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1856 adding message to folder itself.
1857
1858 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1859 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1860 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1861 instead of exiting.
1862
1863 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1864 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1865 the error EEXIST.
1866
1867 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1868 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1869 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1870
1871 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1872 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1873
1874 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1875 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1876 code to use it yet).
1877
1878 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1879
1880 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1881
1882 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1883 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1884
1885 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1886 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1887
1888 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1889
1890 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1891 to folder_addmsg.c
1892
1893 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1894
1895 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1896
1897 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1898
1899 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1900
1901 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1902 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1903
1904 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1905
1906 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1907
1908 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1909
1910 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1911
1912 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1913
1914 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1915 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1916
1917 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1918 configuration files.
1919
1920 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1921
1922 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1923
1924 * Released nmh-0.17.
1925
1926 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1927
1928 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1929 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1930
1931 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1932 defined.
1933
1934 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1935 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1936
1937 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1938 number of refiled message.
1939
1940 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1941
1942 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1943 for return value of wait().
1944
1945 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1946
1947 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1948
1949 * Released nmh-0.16.
1950
1951 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1952
1953 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1954
1955 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1956 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1957 deal with binary messages, yet).
1958
1959 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1960
1961 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1962
1963 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1964 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1965 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1966 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1967 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1968 method was specified in mhn.defaults).

1981
1982 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1983

1985 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1986 composition files.
1987
1988 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1989 files.
1990
1991 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1992
1993 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1994 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1995 which used unsigned chars by default.
1996
1997 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1998
1999 * Released nmh-0.15.

2012 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2013 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2014
2015 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2016 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2017

2019
2020 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since

2022
2023 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2024 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2025 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2026 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2027
2028 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2029 and put in own subroutine.
2030
2031 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2032 and put in own subroutine.

2046 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2047 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2048
2049 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2050 no longer used.
2051
2052 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2053 adding message to sequence.

2066 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2067 selected messages to a sequence.
2068

2095
2096 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2097 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2098 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC

2115
2116 * Released nmh-0.13.
2117
2118 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2119 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2120 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2121 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2122 to MAXARGS).
2123
2124 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2125 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2126
2127 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2128
2129 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if

2131
2132 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2133
2134 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2149
2150 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2151 mp->attrstats with macros.
2152
2153 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2154 in msh.c instead.
2155
2156 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2157 to hide dd->dd_fd.
2158
2159 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2160 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2161
2162 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null

2164
2165 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2166
2167 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2171
2172 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.

2175
2176 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2177 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2178
2179 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2180 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2181
2182 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2183
2184 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2185

2187 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2188
2189 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2190 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

2200
2201 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2202
2203 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2204 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2205
2206 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2207 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2208
2209 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2210 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.

2233 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2234
2235 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2236
2237 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2238 From MH-6.8.4 diff.
2239
2240 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2241
2242 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2243
2244 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2245 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2246
2247 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2248
2249 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2250 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2251
2252 * Released nmh-0.08.
2253
2254 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2255 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2256 locking database itself.
2257
2258 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2259
2260 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2261
2262 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2263 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2264 option.
2265
2266 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2267 rather than mmdf format.
2268
2269 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2270 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2271 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2272 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2273
2274 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2275
2276 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2277
2278 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2279 added to packf.
2280
2281 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2282 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2283 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2284
2285 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2286 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2287 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2288
2289 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2290
2291 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2292 can still easily change this in config.h).
2293
2294 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2295 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2296 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2297
2298 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2299
2300 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2301 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2302

2304
2305 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.

2314 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2315 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2316
2317 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2318 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2319 on SCO 5.x.
2320
2321 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2322 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2323
2324 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2325 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2326
2327 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2328
2329 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2330
2331 * Added configure check for tzset.
2332
2333 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2334
2335 * Released nmh-0.06.
2336
2337 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2338 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2339
2340 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2341 many such machines around anymore.
2342
2343 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2344 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2345
2346 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2347 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2348
2349 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2351 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2352 pre-generated version if necessary.
2353
2354 * Released nmh-0.05.
2355
2356 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2357 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2358 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2359 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2360
2361 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2362 be linked in one pass.
2363
2364 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2365
2366 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2367 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2368
2369 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2370
2371 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2372
2373 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2374
2375 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2376 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2377 become the current folder.
2378
2379 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2380
2381 * Released nmh-0.04.

2387
2388 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2389 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2390 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2391
2392 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2393
2394 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2395 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2396
2397 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2398
2399 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2400 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2401 using POP.
2402
2403 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2404 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2405
2406 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2407
2408 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2409 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2410 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2411 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2412 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2413 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2414
2415 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2416
2417 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2418 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2419
2420 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2421 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2422
2423 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2424
2425 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2426 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2427
2428 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2429
2430 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2431 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2432 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2433
2434 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2435
2436 * Released nmh-0.03.
2437
2438 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2439 .mh_sequence file existed.
2440
2441 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2442 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2443
2444 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2445 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2446 man page.
2447
2448 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2449

2451 flist man page.
2452
2453 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2454
2455 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2456 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2457 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2458
2459 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2460
2461 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2462 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2463 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2464
2465 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2466
2467 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2468 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2469
2470 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2471
2472 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2473
2474 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2475 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2476 directory from where the source code is located.
2477
2478 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2479
2480 * Released nmh-0.02.
2481
2482 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2483
2484 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2485 and rcvtty.
2486
2487 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2488
2489 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2490 and sys_nerr directly.
2491
2492 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2493
2494 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.

2497
2498 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2499
2500 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2501 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2502 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2503 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2504 rather than in script.
2505
2506 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2507
2508 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2509
2510 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2511 macro defined on Solaris.
2512
2513 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2514
2515 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2516 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2517
2518 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2519 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2520 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2521 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2522 options if enabled.
2523
2524 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2525
2526 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2527 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2528
2529 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2530 correctly found.
2531
2532 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2533
2534 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2535
2536 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2537 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2538
2539 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2540
2541 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2542 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2543
2544 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2545
2546 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2547 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2548 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2549 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2550 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2551 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2552
2553 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2554
2555 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2556
2557 * Released nmh-0.01.
2558
2559 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2560 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2561 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2562 have POSIX signals.
2563
2564 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2565
2566 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2567 their man pages.
2568
2569 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2570
2571 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2572 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2573
2574 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2575
2576 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2577 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2578 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2579 script to find_program.
2580
2581 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2582
2583 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2584 speed up -recurse option.
2585
2586 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2587 yet, but it compiles :-)
2588
2589 * Changed default location for install to
2590 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2591 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2592 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2593 level Makefile.
2594
2595 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2596 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2597 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
