1 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
3 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
4 the formatting rules I've been using.
8 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
10 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
11 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
14 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
15 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
16 read in the contents of the file as the variable
19 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
20 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
21 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
22 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
23 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
24 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
25 bold flags and italicized parameters.
27 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
29 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
30 --with-locking option.
32 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
33 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
34 information was not being communicated to the
35 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
36 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
37 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
38 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
39 undefined symbols problems.
41 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
42 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
43 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
44 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
45 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
46 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
47 for a genuine krb4 installation.
49 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
51 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
52 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
54 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
56 * Made a new ./configure option called
57 "--with-locking" that allows the file
58 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
59 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
61 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
62 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
63 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
64 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
65 the user that these are the valid options, and
66 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
69 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
71 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
72 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
73 committed to supporting flex only, since
74 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
75 string, as well as other problems documented
76 below and on nmh-workers.
78 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
79 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
80 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
83 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
84 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
86 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
88 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
89 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
90 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
92 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
94 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
95 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
97 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
99 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
100 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
101 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
102 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
103 couldn't correctly identify them.
105 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
107 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
108 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
109 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
110 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
111 not depending on an external archive.
113 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
114 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
115 mts/generic is no longer built.
117 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
119 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
120 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
121 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
122 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
123 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
124 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
125 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
126 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
128 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
130 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
131 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
134 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
136 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
137 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
138 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
141 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
142 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
143 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
144 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
146 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
147 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
148 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
149 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
150 merged into the smtp code).
152 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
153 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
154 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
157 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
158 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
159 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
160 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
161 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
162 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
163 in the appropriate Makefile.in
165 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
167 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
168 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
169 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
170 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
171 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
172 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
173 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
174 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
175 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
176 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
177 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
179 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
181 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
182 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
183 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
184 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
185 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
186 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
187 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
188 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
189 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
191 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
193 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
194 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
197 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
199 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
200 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
202 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
204 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
205 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
206 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
207 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
209 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
211 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
212 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
213 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
214 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
215 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
217 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
218 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
220 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
222 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
224 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
225 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
226 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
227 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
229 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
230 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
231 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
232 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
234 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
235 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
236 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
237 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
239 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
240 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
241 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
243 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
245 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
246 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
247 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
248 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
249 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
250 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
253 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
254 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
256 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
257 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
259 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
261 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
263 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
265 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
266 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
267 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
268 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
270 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
272 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
273 be easily changed from "," to "#".
275 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
277 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
279 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
280 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
283 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
285 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
286 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
287 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
288 but not for the subsequent data stream.
290 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
292 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
293 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
294 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
295 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
296 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
298 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
300 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
301 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
303 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
304 cat, also define lorder as echo.
306 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
308 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
310 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
311 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
312 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
314 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
316 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
319 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
320 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
322 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
324 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
325 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
327 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
329 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
330 inc does not need to be setgid.
332 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
334 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
335 library, as found on Debian systems.
337 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
339 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
341 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
342 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
343 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
344 case-insensitivity flag.
346 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
348 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
349 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
351 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
353 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
354 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
355 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
356 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
357 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
358 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
359 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
360 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
361 getting moved aside).
363 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
364 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
366 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
368 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
369 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
370 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
371 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
372 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
373 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
374 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
375 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
376 the prototype, but never sets it.
378 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
379 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
380 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
381 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
382 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
383 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
385 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
386 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
387 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
388 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
389 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
391 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
393 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
394 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
397 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
398 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
399 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
400 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
401 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
402 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
403 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
405 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
407 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
409 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
410 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
411 this works on other systems.
413 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
415 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
416 checks for write failures.
418 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
420 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
422 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
425 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
427 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
429 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
431 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
432 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
435 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
437 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
438 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
439 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
440 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
442 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
444 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
445 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
448 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
449 as well as Makefiles.
451 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
453 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
454 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
455 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
456 should make maintainability easier.
458 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
459 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
460 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
461 whatever you know works.
463 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
465 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
466 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
467 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
469 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
470 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
471 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
472 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
474 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
475 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
476 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
478 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
479 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
480 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
481 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
482 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
484 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
485 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
486 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
487 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
488 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
489 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
490 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
491 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
492 from the BSD version.
494 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
495 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
496 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
498 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
501 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
504 This happens on solaris:
507 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
508 No manual entry for mts.conf.
512 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
514 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
515 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
517 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
519 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
520 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
521 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
522 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
523 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
524 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
525 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
526 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
527 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
528 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
529 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
531 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
532 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
533 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
534 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
535 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
536 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
539 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
540 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
541 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
542 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
543 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
545 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
546 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
548 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
550 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
551 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
552 to stdin, such as exmh.
554 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
555 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
556 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
559 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
561 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
562 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
563 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
564 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
565 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
566 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
567 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
569 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
571 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
572 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
574 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
576 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
577 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
579 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
581 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
584 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
585 along with any -host or -user option.
587 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
589 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
591 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
592 process was fresh in my mind.
594 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
596 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
597 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
599 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
601 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
603 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
606 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
607 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
608 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
609 part of the program's name.
611 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
612 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
615 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
617 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
618 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
619 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
620 single-character format would cause programs using this
621 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
622 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
623 when the format string was one character. This eventually
624 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
627 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
629 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
630 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
631 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
632 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
633 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
634 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
636 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
637 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
638 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
639 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
640 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
641 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
642 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
643 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
645 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
646 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
647 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
648 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
649 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
650 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
651 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
652 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
653 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
654 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
656 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
658 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
659 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
661 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
662 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
664 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
669 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
671 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
672 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
673 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
674 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
676 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
677 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
678 problem in the routine.
680 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
682 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
683 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
685 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
686 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
687 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
690 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
692 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
693 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
694 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
695 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
696 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
697 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
698 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
699 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
700 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
701 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
703 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
705 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
706 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
707 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
708 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
709 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
710 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
711 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
712 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
713 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
714 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
715 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
716 interesting than a duplication of the default.
718 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
719 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
720 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
721 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
722 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
724 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
727 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
729 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
730 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
731 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
732 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
735 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
737 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
739 * Applied, after some finessing,
740 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
742 Here's a patch that allows you to add
744 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
746 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
747 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
748 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
749 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
751 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
753 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
754 forgetting to do so!).
756 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
757 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
758 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
759 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
760 arguments to enable all three types.
762 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
763 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
765 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
766 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
767 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
768 updated copy of mts.conf.
770 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
772 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
773 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
774 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
776 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
778 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
780 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
781 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
782 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
784 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
785 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
786 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
788 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
789 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
790 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
792 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
794 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
796 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
798 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
800 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
801 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
803 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
804 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
805 certain suffix to run properly.
807 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
808 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
809 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
811 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
812 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
813 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
814 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
815 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
816 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
817 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
819 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
821 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
822 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
823 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
824 until some year far in the future).
826 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
828 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
830 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
831 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
833 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
834 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
837 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
839 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
840 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
841 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
842 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
843 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
844 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
846 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
848 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
850 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
851 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
852 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
854 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
855 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
856 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
857 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
858 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
859 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
862 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
863 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
864 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
865 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
866 of masquerading individually.
868 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
869 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
870 GECOS field delimiters.
872 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
874 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
875 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
876 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
877 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
878 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
879 and explaining the feature.
881 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
883 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
884 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
887 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
888 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
889 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
891 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
892 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
893 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
894 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
896 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
897 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
898 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
901 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
903 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
906 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
908 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
910 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
911 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
912 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
913 quotes embedded in them.
915 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
917 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
918 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
919 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
920 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
921 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
922 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
923 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
926 The other theory is that because you can say something like
927 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
928 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
929 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
930 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
932 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
934 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
936 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
937 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
938 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
939 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
941 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
944 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
946 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
948 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
950 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
951 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
952 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
954 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
957 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
959 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
960 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
961 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
962 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
963 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
964 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
966 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
967 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
969 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
971 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
974 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
976 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
977 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
978 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
981 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
982 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
983 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
984 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
985 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
986 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
987 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
988 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
989 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
990 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
991 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
992 processing that post has).
994 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
996 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
997 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
998 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
999 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1000 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1001 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1004 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1006 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1008 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1010 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1012 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1013 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1015 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1018 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1020 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1021 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1022 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1025 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1027 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1028 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1029 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1030 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1031 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1032 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1034 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1036 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1038 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1040 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1041 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1042 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1043 caught again. This works for now.
1045 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1047 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1049 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1050 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1052 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1054 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1055 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1057 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1059 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1061 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1063 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1064 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1066 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1068 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1069 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1070 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1071 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1072 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1075 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1077 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1078 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1079 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1081 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1082 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1085 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1087 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1088 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1089 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1091 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1093 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1094 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1096 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1098 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1101 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1102 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1104 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1105 macros, regardless of platform.
1107 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1108 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1110 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1111 with x-conversions=gzip.
1113 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1115 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1118 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1119 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1120 implicit definition of ioctl().
1122 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1123 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1124 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1125 want to mess with them.
1127 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1129 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1130 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1132 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1133 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1135 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1136 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1137 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1139 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1140 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1141 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1143 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1144 function initgroups.
1146 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1149 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1150 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1153 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1154 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1157 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1158 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1162 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1164 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1165 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1166 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1168 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1169 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1171 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1173 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1175 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1176 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1177 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1178 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1180 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1181 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1183 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1185 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1187 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1189 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1190 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1192 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1194 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1195 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1197 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1198 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1199 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1200 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1202 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1203 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1205 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1207 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1208 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1210 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1212 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1213 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1216 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1218 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1220 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1222 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1223 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1225 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1226 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1227 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1229 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1230 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1231 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1233 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1234 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1235 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1237 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1238 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1241 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1242 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1244 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1245 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1247 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1248 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1250 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1251 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1252 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1254 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1255 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1257 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1258 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1259 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1261 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1262 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1265 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1266 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1268 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1269 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1270 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1271 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1273 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1274 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1276 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1280 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1281 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1282 would not be changed.
1284 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1285 one from the Apache web server.
1287 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1288 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1290 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1291 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1292 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1294 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1296 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1298 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1299 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1302 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1303 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1304 removes a bad race condition.
1306 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1309 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1310 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1311 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1313 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1314 sequence information.
1316 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1317 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1319 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1322 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1325 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1327 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1328 interpret 034 as octal.
1330 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1332 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1333 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1335 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1336 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1338 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1339 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1341 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1342 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1344 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1345 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1347 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1348 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1349 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1351 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1352 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1353 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1355 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1357 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1359 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1360 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1363 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1365 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1366 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1368 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1369 header field information.
1371 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1372 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1374 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1375 values when parsing a content.
1377 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1378 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1380 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1381 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1383 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1384 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1386 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1387 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1389 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1391 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1393 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1395 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1397 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1398 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1401 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1402 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1404 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1405 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1406 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1407 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1408 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1409 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1412 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1414 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1415 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1416 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1418 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1419 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1421 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1423 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1424 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1425 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1426 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1428 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1429 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1432 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1433 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1434 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1435 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1438 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1440 * Released nmh-0.27.
1442 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1443 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1445 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1446 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1447 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1448 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1451 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1452 mhbuild returns an error.
1454 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1455 rename the draft file.
1457 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1458 use a global variable.
1460 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1461 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1463 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1464 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1466 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1467 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1468 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1470 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1471 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1473 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1474 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1477 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1478 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1481 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1482 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1484 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1485 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1486 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1488 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1489 to new function output_content_folder.
1491 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1492 new function output_content_file.
1494 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1495 to new function parse_format_string.
1497 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1498 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1499 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1500 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1502 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1503 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1504 message/external file from ftp.
1506 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1507 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1508 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1510 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1511 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1514 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1517 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1518 new file mhstoresbr.c
1520 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1523 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1524 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1526 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1527 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1529 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1530 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1531 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1533 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1535 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1537 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1538 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1541 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1542 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1544 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1547 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1549 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1551 * Released nmh-0.26.
1553 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1554 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1555 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1556 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1558 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1559 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1560 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1561 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1562 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1564 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1565 But it is not on by default.
1567 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1568 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1570 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1572 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1574 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1576 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1578 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1579 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1581 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1583 * Released nmh-0.25.
1585 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1586 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1587 uses the original name of the library.
1589 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1590 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1593 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1594 list_content and list_debug.
1596 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1598 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1599 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1601 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1603 * Released nmh-0.24.
1605 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1607 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1608 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1610 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1611 large sequence line.
1613 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1615 * Released nmh-0.23.
1617 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1619 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1620 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1621 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1622 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1624 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1625 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1628 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1630 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1632 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1634 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1635 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1637 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1638 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1640 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1641 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1643 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1644 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1646 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1648 * Released nmh-0.22.
1650 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1651 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1653 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1655 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1656 mh-profile(5) man page.
1658 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1659 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1661 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1663 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1665 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1666 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1668 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1670 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1671 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1672 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1674 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1675 source message on the standard input.
1677 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1679 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1680 rather than -rfc934mode.
1682 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1683 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1686 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1687 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1689 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1692 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1694 * Released nmh-0.21.
1696 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1697 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1699 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1702 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1703 to use for text contents.
1705 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1707 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1709 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1711 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1713 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1714 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1716 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1717 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1718 spaces between encoded word are.
1720 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1722 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1723 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1725 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1726 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1727 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1729 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1731 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1732 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1734 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1736 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.

1739 ISO-8859-X character set.
1741 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1744 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1745 permissions, not write permissions.
1747 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1748 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1750 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1753 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1755 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1757 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1758 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1760 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1761 message contains valid character set.
1763 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1764 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1766 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1767 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1769 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1770 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1771 between an encoded word and normal text.
1773 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1774 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1776 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1777 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1779 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1782 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1783 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1786 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1787 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1789 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1790 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1792 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1794 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1796 * Released nmh-0.20.
1798 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1800 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1802 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1803 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1804 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1806 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1807 and the To: line was missing.
1809 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1811 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1813 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1815 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1816 watch the POP transaction.
1818 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1819 first, and use it if available.
1821 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1822 first, and use it if available.
1824 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1826 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1828 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1829 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1830 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1833 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1834 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1835 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1837 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1838 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1841 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1843 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1844 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1846 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1848 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1849 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1851 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1852 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1853 message to which you are replying.
1855 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1856 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1857 making group replies.
1859 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1861 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1863 * Released nmh-0.19.
1865 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1866 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1868 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1869 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1870 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1871 to the end of the man page.
1873 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1874 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1875 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1876 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1877 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1878 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1880 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1883 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1884 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1885 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1887 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1888 the next available number above the message number you wish
1891 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1892 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1894 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1895 file sbr/seq_print.c
1897 * flist will now update the current folder.
1899 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1900 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1901 but now undocumented.
1903 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1906 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1907 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1909 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1911 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1912 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1914 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1916 * Released nmh-0.18.
1918 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1919 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1920 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1922 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1923 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1925 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1926 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1927 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1928 previous public/private status.
1930 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1933 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1936 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1937 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1938 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1940 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1941 take option to determine whether it should get current
1942 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1943 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1945 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1947 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1948 wait for stopped processes.
1950 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1951 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1953 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1955 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1957 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1958 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1960 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1961 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1963 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1964 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1965 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1966 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1968 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1971 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1974 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1976 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1977 the debugging output.
1979 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1980 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1982 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1984 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1986 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1987 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1989 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1991 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1992 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1993 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1994 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1995 in the given sequence.
1997 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1998 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1999 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2000 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2001 subdirectories of a given directory.
2003 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2004 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2005 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2007 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2008 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2010 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2012 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2015 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2016 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2017 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2019 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2020 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2021 are calculated at runtime.
2023 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2025 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2027 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2028 about checking for global mh.profile.
2030 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2031 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2032 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2033 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2034 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2035 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2037 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2038 adding message to folder itself.
2040 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2041 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2042 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2045 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2046 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2049 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2050 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2051 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2053 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2054 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2056 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2057 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2058 code to use it yet).
2060 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2062 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2064 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2065 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2067 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2068 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2070 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2072 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2075 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2077 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2079 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2081 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2083 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2084 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2086 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2088 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2090 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2092 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2094 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2096 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2097 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2099 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2100 configuration files.
2102 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2104 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2106 * Released nmh-0.17.
2108 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2110 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2111 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2113 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2116 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2117 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2119 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2120 number of refiled message.
2122 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2124 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2125 for return value of wait().
2127 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2129 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2131 * Released nmh-0.16.

2135 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2137 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2138 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2139 deal with binary messages, yet).
2141 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2143 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2145 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2146 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2147 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2148 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2149 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2150 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2152 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2153 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2155 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2156 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2158 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2159 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2162 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2164 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2166 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2167 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2170 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2173 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2175 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2176 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2177 which used unsigned chars by default.
2179 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2181 * Released nmh-0.15.
2183 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2188 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2190 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2193 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2194 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2195 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2197 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2198 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2200 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2202 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2203 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2205 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2206 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2207 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2208 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2210 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2211 and put in own subroutine.
2213 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2214 and put in own subroutine.
2216 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2217 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2218 refile.c to use new routine.
2220 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2222 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2224 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2227 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2228 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2229 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2231 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2234 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2235 adding message to sequence.
2237 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2238 corresponding file in sbr.
2240 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2243 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2245 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2246 all selected messages from a sequence.
2248 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2249 selected messages to a sequence.
2251 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2254 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2256 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2257 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2259 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2271 * Released nmh-0.14.
2273 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2274 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2276 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2278 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2279 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2280 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2281 environment variable.
2283 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2284 draft folder facility in nmh.
2286 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2296 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2298 * Released nmh-0.13.
2300 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2301 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2302 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2303 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2306 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2307 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2309 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2312 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2314 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2316 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2317 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2345 will suppress the display of the message header.
2347 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2349 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2350 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2352 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2354 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2356 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2359 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2361 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2362 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2364 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2366 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2368 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2369 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2371 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2372 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2374 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2376 * Released nmh-0.10.

2386 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2388 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2389 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2391 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2394 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2396 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2397 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2399 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2401 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2402 of missing tabs in regex.
2404 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2406 * Released nmh-0.09.

2429 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2431 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2432 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2434 * Released nmh-0.08.
2436 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2437 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2438 locking database itself.
2440 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2442 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2444 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2445 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2448 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2449 rather than mmdf format.
2451 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2452 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2453 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2454 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2456 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2458 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2460 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2463 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2464 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2465 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2467 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2468 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2469 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2471 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2473 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2474 can still easily change this in config.h).
2476 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2477 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2478 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2480 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2482 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2483 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2494 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2496 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2497 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2499 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2500 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2503 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2504 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2517 * Released nmh-0.06.
2519 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2520 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2522 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2523 many such machines around anymore.
2525 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2526 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2528 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2529 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2531 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2533 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2534 pre-generated version if necessary.
2536 * Released nmh-0.05.
2538 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2539 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2540 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2541 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2543 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2544 be linked in one pass.
2546 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2548 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2549 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2551 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2553 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2555 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2557 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2558 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2559 become the current folder.
2561 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2563 * Released nmh-0.04.
2565 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2568 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2570 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2571 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2572 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2574 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2576 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2577 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2579 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2581 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2582 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2585 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2586 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2588 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2590 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2591 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2592 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2593 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2594 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2595 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2597 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2599 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2600 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2602 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2603 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2605 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2607 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2608 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2610 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2612 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2613 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2614 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2616 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2618 * Released nmh-0.03.
2620 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2621 .mh_sequence file existed.
2623 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2624 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2626 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2627 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2630 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2632 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2635 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2637 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2638 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2639 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2641 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2644 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2645 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2647 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2649 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2650 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2652 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2654 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2656 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2657 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2658 directory from where the source code is located.
2660 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2662 * Released nmh-0.02.
2664 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2669 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2671 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2672 and sys_nerr directly.
2674 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2676 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2678 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2680 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2682 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2683 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2684 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2685 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2686 rather than in script.
2688 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2690 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2692 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2693 macro defined on Solaris.
2695 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2697 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2698 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2700 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2701 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2702 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2703 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2706 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2708 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2709 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2711 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2714 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2716 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2718 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2719 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2721 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2723 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2724 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2726 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2728 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2729 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2730 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2731 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2732 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2733 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2735 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2739 * Released nmh-0.01.
2741 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2742 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2743 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2746 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2748 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2751 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2753 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2754 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2756 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2758 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2759 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2760 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2761 script to find_program.
2763 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2765 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2766 speed up -recurse option.
2768 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2769 yet, but it compiles :-)
2771 * Changed default location for install to
2772 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2773 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2774 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2777 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2778 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2779 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
