1 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
2
3 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
4 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
5 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.

7 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
8
9 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
10 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
11
12 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
13
14 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
15 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
16 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
17 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
18 couldn't correctly identify them.
19
20 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
21
22 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
23 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
24 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
25 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
26 not depending on an external archive.
27
28 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
29 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
30 mts/generic is no longer built.
31
32 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
33
34 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
35 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
36 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
37 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
38 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
39 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
40 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
41 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
42
43 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
44
45 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
46 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
47 correct.
48
49 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
50
51 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
52 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
53 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
54 now finally mts.
55
56 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
57 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
58 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
59 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
60
61 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
62 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
63 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
64 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
65 merged into the smtp code).
66
67 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
68 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
69 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
70 of it for us.
71
72 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
73 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
74 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
75 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
76 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
77 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
78 in the appropriate Makefile.in
79
80 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
81
82 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
83 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
84 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
85 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
86 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
87 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
88 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
89 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
90 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
91 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
92 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
93
94 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
95
96 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
97 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
98 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
99 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
100 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
101 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
102 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
103 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
104 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
105
106 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
107
108 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
109 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
110 able to access them.
111
112 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
113
114 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
115 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
116
117 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
118
119 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
120 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
121 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
122 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
123
124 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
125
126 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
127 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
128 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
129 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
130 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
131
132 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
133 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
134
135 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
136
137 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
138
139 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
140 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
141 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
142 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
143
144 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
145 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
146 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
147 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
148
149 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
150 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
151 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
152 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
153
154 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
155 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
156 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
157
158 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
159
160 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
161 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
162 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
163 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
164 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
165 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
166 my users.
167
168 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
169 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
170
171 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
172 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
173
174 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
175
176 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
177
178 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
179
180 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
181 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
182 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
183 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
184
185 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
186
187 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
188 be easily changed from "," to "#".
189
190 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
191
192 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
193
194 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
195 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
196 README.developers.
197
198 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
199
200 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
201 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
202 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
203 but not for the subsequent data stream.
204
205 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
206
207 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
208 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
209 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
210 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
211 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
212
213 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
214
215 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
216 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
217
218 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
219 cat, also define lorder as echo.
220
221 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
222
223 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
224
225 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
226 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
227 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
228
229 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
230
231 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
232 #if 0 block).
233
234 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
235 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
236
237 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
238
239 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
240 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
241
242 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
243
244 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
245 inc does not need to be setgid.
246
247 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
248
249 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
250 library, as found on Debian systems.
251
252 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
253
254 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
255
256 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
257 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
258 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
259 case-insensitivity flag.
260
261 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
262
263 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
264 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
265
266 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
267
268 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
269 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
270 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
271 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
272 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
273 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
274 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
275 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
276 getting moved aside).
277
278 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
279 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
280
281 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
282
283 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
284 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
285 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
286 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
287 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
288 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
289 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
290 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
291 the prototype, but never sets it.
292
293 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
294 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
295 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
296 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
297 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
298 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
299
300 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
301 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
302 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
303 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
304 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
305
306 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
307
308 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
309 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
310 of tws.h.
311
312 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
313 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
314 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
315 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
316 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
317 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
318 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
319
320 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
321
322 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
323
324 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
325 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
326 this works on other systems.
327
328 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
329
330 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
331 checks for write failures.
332
333 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
334
335 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
336
337 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
338 is patched in.
339
340 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
341
342 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
343
344 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
345
346 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
347 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
348 a buffer boundary.
349
350 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
351
352 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
353 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
354 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
355 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
356
357 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
358
359 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
360 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
361 place.
362
363 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
364 as well as Makefiles.
365
366 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
367
368 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
369 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
370 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
371 should make maintainability easier.
372
373 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
374 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
375 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
376 whatever you know works.
377
378 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
379
380 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
381 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
382 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
383
384 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
385 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
386 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
387 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
388
389 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
390 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
391 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
392
393 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
394 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
395 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
396 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
397 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
398
399 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
400 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
401 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
402 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
403 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
404 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
405 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
406 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
407 from the BSD version.
408
409 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
410 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
411 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
412
413 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
414 in ruserpass.c also.
415
416 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
417 report:
418
419 This happens on solaris:
420
421 % man mts.conf
422 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
423 No manual entry for mts.conf.
424
425 It is fixed by
426
427 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
428
429 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
430 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
431
432 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
433
434 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
435 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
436 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
437 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
438 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
439 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
440 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
441 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
442 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
443 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
444 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
445
446 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
447 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
448 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
449 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
450 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
451 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
452 out of nowhere.
453
454 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
455 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
456 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
457 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
458 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
459
460 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
461 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
462
463 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
464
465 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
466 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
467 to stdin, such as exmh.
468
469 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
470 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
471 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
472 other files.
473
474 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
475
476 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
477 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
478 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
479 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
480 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
481 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
482 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
483
484 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
485
486 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
487 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
488
489 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
490
491 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
492 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
493
494 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
495
496 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
497 --enable-apop.
498
499 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
500 along with any -host or -user option.
501
502 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
503
504 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
505
506 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
507 process was fresh in my mind.
508
509 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
510
511 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
512 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
513
514 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
515
516 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
517
518 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
519 patch:
520
521 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
522 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
523 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
524 part of the program's name.
525
526 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
527 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
528 to quote.
529
530 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
531
532 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
533 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
534 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
535 single-character format would cause programs using this
536 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
537 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
538 when the format string was one character. This eventually
539 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
540 in the array.
541
542 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
543
544 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
545 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
546 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
547 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
548 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
549 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
550
551 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
552 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
553 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
554 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
555 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
556 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
557 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
558 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
559
560 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
561 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
562 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
563 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
564 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
565 tags, and "&lt;" and "&gt;" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
566 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
567 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
568 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
569 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
570
571 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
572
573 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
574 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
575
576 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
577 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
578
579 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
580 exit 2
581
582 and:
583
584 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
585
586 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
587 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
588 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
589 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
590
591 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
592 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
593 problem in the routine.
594
595 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
596
597 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
598 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
599
600 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
601 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
602 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
603 spool somehow.
604
605 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
606
607 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
608 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
609 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
610 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
611 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
612 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
613 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
614 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
615 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
616 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
617
618 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
619
620 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
621 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
622 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
623 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
624 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
625 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
626 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
627 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
628 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
629 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
630 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
631 interesting than a duplication of the default.
632
633 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
634 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
635 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
636 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
637 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
638
639 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
640 POP is enabled.
641
642 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
643
644 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
645 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
646 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
647 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
648 here.
649
650 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
651
652 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
653
654 * Applied, after some finessing,
655 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
656
657 Here's a patch that allows you to add
658
659 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
660
661 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
662 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
663 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
664 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
665
666 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
667
668 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
669 forgetting to do so!).
670
671 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
672 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
673 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
674 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
675 arguments to enable all three types.
676
677 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
678 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
679
680 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
681 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
682 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
683 updated copy of mts.conf.
684
685 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
686
687 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
688 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
689 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
690
691 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
692 and
693 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
694
695 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
696 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
697 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
698
699 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
700 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
701 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
702
703 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
704 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
705 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
706
707 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
708
709 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
710
711 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
712
713 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
714
715 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
716 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
717
718 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
719 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
720 certain suffix to run properly.
721
722 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
723 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
724 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
725
726 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
727 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
728 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
729 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
730 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
731 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
732 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
733
734 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
735
736 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
737 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
738 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
739 until some year far in the future).
740
741 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
742
743 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
744
745 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
746 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
747
748 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
749 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
750 corrupted.
751
752 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
753
754 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
755 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
756 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
757 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
758 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
759 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
760
761 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
762
763 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
764
765 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
766 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
767 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
768
769 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
770 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
771 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
772 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
773 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
774 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
775 leads me to:
776
777 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
778 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
779 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
780 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
781 of masquerading individually.
782
783 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
784 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
785 GECOS field delimiters.
786
787 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
788
789 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
790 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
791 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
792 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
793 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
794 and explaining the feature.
795
796 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
797
798 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
799 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
800 so).
801
802 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
803 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
804 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
805
806 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
807 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
808 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
809 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
810
811 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
812 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
813 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
814 anywhere.
815
816 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
817
818 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
819 code to be executed.
820
821 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
822
823 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
824
825 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
826 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
827 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
828 quotes embedded in them.
829
830 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
831
832 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
833 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
834 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
835 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
836 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
837 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
838 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
839 allowed to specify.
840
841 The other theory is that because you can say something like
842 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
843 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
844 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
845 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
846
847 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
848
849 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
850
851 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
852 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
853 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
854 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
855
856 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
857 KPOP server.
858
859 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
860
861 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
862
863 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
864
865 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
866 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
867 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
868
869 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
870 mhn.defaults.sh.
871
872 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
873
874 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
875 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
876 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
877 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
878 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
879 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
880
881 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
882 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
883
884 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
885
886 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
887 page.
888
889 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
890
891 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
892 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
893 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
894 to be setgid.
895
896 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
897 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
898 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
899 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
900 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
901 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
902 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
903 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
904 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
905 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
906 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
907 processing that post has).
908
909 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
910
911 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
912 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
913 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
914 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
915 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
916 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
917 Solaris 2.6).
918
919 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
920
921 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
922
923 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
924
925 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
926
927 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
928 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
929
930 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
931 command-line.
932
933 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
934
935 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
936 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
937 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
938 some development.
939
940 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
941
942 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
943 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
944 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
945 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
946 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
947 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
948
949 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
950
951 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
952
953 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
954
955 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
956 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
957 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
958 caught again. This works for now.
959
960 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
961
962 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
963
964 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
965 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
966
967 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
968
969 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
970 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
971
972 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
973
974 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
975
976 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
977
978 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
979 changes. Both need more cleanup.
980
981 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
982
983 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
984 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
985 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
986 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
987 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
988 multiple purposes.
989
990 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
991
992 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
993 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
994 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
995
996 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
997 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
998 config.guess.
999
1000 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1001
1002 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1003 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1004 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1005
1006 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1007
1008 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1009 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1010
1011 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1012
1013 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1014 distributed.
1015
1016 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1017 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1018
1019 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1020 macros, regardless of platform.
1021
1022 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1023 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1024
1025 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1026 with x-conversions=gzip.
1027
1028 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1029
1030 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1031 post.c.
1032
1033 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1034 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1035 implicit definition of ioctl().
1036
1037 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1038 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1039 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1040 want to mess with them.
1041
1042 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1043
1044 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1045 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1046
1047 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1048 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1049
1050 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1051 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1052 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1053
1054 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1055 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1056 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1057
1058 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1059 function initgroups.
1060
1061 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1062 function.
1063
1064 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1065 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1066 to fix warnings.
1067
1068 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1069 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1070 prevent warnings.
1071
1072 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1073 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1074 statements).
1075
1076
1077 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1078
1079 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1080 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1081 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1082
1083 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1084 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1085
1086 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1087
1088 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1089
1090 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1091 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1092 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1093 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1094
1095 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1096 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1097
1098 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1099
1100 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1101
1102 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1103
1104 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1105 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1106
1107 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1108
1109 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1110 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1111
1112 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1113 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1114 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1115 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1116
1117 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1118 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1119
1120 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1121
1122 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1123 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1124
1125 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1126
1127 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1128 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1129 proper #defines.
1130
1131 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1132
1133 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1134
1135 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1136
1137 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1138 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1139
1140 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1141 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1142 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1143
1144 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1145 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1146 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1147
1148 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1149 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1150 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1151
1152 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1153 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1154 <swb@nconnect.net>.
1155
1156 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1157 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1158
1159 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1160 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1161
1162 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1163 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1164
1165 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1166 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1167 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1168
1169 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1170 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1171
1172 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1173 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1174 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1175
1176 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1177 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1178 <rmg@netapp.com>.
1179
1180 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1181 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1182
1183 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1184 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1185 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1186 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1187
1188 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1189 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1190
1191 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1192
1193 * Released nmh-1.0.
1194
1195 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1196 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1197 would not be changed.
1198
1199 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1200 one from the Apache web server.
1201
1202 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1203 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1204
1205 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1206 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1207 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1208
1209 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1210
1211 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1212
1213 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1214 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1215 verbose printing).
1216
1217 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1218 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1219 removes a bad race condition.
1220
1221 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1222 style drop file.
1223
1224 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1225 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1226 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1227
1228 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1229 sequence information.
1230
1231 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1232 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1233
1234 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1235 count.
1236
1237 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1238 is empty.
1239
1240 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1241
1242 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1243 interpret 034 as octal.
1244
1245 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1246
1247 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1248 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1249
1250 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1251 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1252
1253 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1254 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1255
1256 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1257 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1258
1259 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1260 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1261
1262 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1263 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1264 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1265
1266 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1267 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1268 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1269
1270 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1271
1272 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1273
1274 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1275 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1276 file "mhoutsbr.c".
1277
1278 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1279
1280 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1281 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1282
1283 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1284 header field information.
1285
1286 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1287 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1288
1289 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1290 values when parsing a content.
1291
1292 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1293 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1294
1295 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1296 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1297
1298 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1299 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1300
1301 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1302 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1303
1304 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1305
1306 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1307
1308 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1309
1310 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1311
1312 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1313 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1314 read.
1315
1316 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1317 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1318
1319 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1320 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1321 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1322 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1323 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1324 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1325 be setuid/setgid.
1326
1327 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1328
1329 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1330 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1331 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1332
1333 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1334 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1335
1336 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1337
1338 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1339 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1340 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1341 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1342
1343 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1344 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1345 fix).
1346
1347 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1348 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1349 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1350 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1351 arguments.
1352
1353 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1354
1355 * Released nmh-0.27.
1356
1357 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1358 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1359
1360 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1361 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1362 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1363 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1364 with no arguments.
1365
1366 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1367 mhbuild returns an error.
1368
1369 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1370 rename the draft file.
1371
1372 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1373 use a global variable.
1374
1375 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1376 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1377
1378 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1379 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1380
1381 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1382 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1383 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1384
1385 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1386 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1387
1388 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1389 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1390 this new page.
1391
1392 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1393 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1394 viamail program.
1395
1396 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1397 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1398
1399 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1400 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1401 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1402
1403 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1404 to new function output_content_folder.
1405
1406 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1407 new function output_content_file.
1408
1409 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1410 to new function parse_format_string.
1411
1412 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1413 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1414 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1415 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1416
1417 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1418 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1419 message/external file from ftp.
1420
1421 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1422 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1423 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1424
1425 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1426 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1427 mhfree.c.
1428
1429 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1430 file mhshowsbr.c.
1431
1432 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1433 new file mhstoresbr.c
1434
1435 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1436 file mhparse.c.
1437
1438 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1439 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1440
1441 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1442 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1443
1444 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1445 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1446 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1447
1448 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1449
1450 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1451
1452 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1453 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1454 to main().
1455
1456 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1457 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1458
1459 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1460 to mhparse.c).
1461
1462 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1463
1464 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1465
1466 * Released nmh-0.26.
1467
1468 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1469 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1470 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1471 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1472
1473 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1474 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1475 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1476 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1477 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1478
1479 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1480 But it is not on by default.
1481
1482 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1483 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1484
1485 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1486
1487 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1488
1489 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1490
1491 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1492
1493 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1494 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1495
1496 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1497
1498 * Released nmh-0.25.
1499
1500 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1501 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1502 uses the original name of the library.
1503
1504 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1505 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1506 links remaining.
1507
1508 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1509 list_content and list_debug.
1510
1511 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1512
1513 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1514 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1515
1516 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1517
1518 * Released nmh-0.24.
1519
1520 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1521
1522 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1523 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1524
1525 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1526 large sequence line.
1527
1528 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1529
1530 * Released nmh-0.23.
1531
1532 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1533
1534 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1535 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1536 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1537 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1538
1539 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1540 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1541 file h/mhnsbr.h.
1542
1543 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1544
1545 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1546
1547 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1548
1549 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1550 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1551
1552 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1553 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1554
1555 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1556 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1557
1558 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1559 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1560
1561 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1562
1563 * Released nmh-0.22.
1564
1565 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1566 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1567
1568 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1569
1570 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1571 mh-profile(5) man page.
1572
1573 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1574 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1575
1576 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1577
1578 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1579
1580 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1581 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1582
1583 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1584
1585 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1586 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1587 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1588
1589 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1590 source message on the standard input.
1591
1592 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1593
1594 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1595 rather than -rfc934mode.
1596
1597 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1598 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1599 only one message.
1600
1601 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1602 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1603
1604 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1605 it is still needed.
1606
1607 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1608
1609 * Released nmh-0.21.
1610
1611 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1612 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1613
1614 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1615 encoding to use.
1616
1617 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1618 to use for text contents.
1619
1620 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1621
1622 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1623
1624 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1625
1626 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1627
1628 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1629 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1630
1631 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1632 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1633 spaces between encoded word are.
1634
1635 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1636
1637 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1638 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1639
1640 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1641 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1642 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1643
1644 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1645
1646 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1647 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1648
1649 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1650
1651 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1652
1653 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1654 ISO-8859-X character set.
1655
1656 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1657 pager more.
1658
1659 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1660 permissions, not write permissions.
1661
1662 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1663 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1664
1665 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1666 distribution.
1667
1668 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1669
1670 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1671
1672 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1673 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1674
1675 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1676 message contains valid character set.
1677
1678 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1679 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1680
1681 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1682 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1683
1684 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1685 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1686 between an encoded word and normal text.
1687
1688 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1689 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1690
1691 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1692 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1693
1694 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1695 and -help.
1696
1697 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1698 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1699 loops).
1700
1701 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1702 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1703
1704 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1705 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1706
1707 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1708
1709 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1710
1711 * Released nmh-0.20.
1712
1713 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1714
1715 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1716
1717 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1718 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1719 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1720
1721 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1722 and the To: line was missing.
1723
1724 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1725
1726 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1727
1728 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1729
1730 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1731 watch the POP transaction.
1732
1733 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1734 first, and use it if available.
1735
1736 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1737 first, and use it if available.
1738
1739 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1740
1741 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1742
1743 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1744 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1745 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1746 sequence line.
1747
1748 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1749 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1750 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1751
1752 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1753 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1754 lines.
1755
1756 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1757
1758 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1759 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1760
1761 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1762
1763 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1764 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1765
1766 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1767 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1768 message to which you are replying.
1769
1770 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1771 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1772 making group replies.
1773
1774 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1775
1776 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1777
1778 * Released nmh-0.19.
1779
1780 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1781 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1782
1783 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1784 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1785 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1786 to the end of the man page.
1787
1788 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1789 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1790 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1791 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1792 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1793 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1794
1795 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1796 pages.
1797
1798 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1799 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1800 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1801
1802 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1803 the next available number above the message number you wish
1804 to preserve.
1805
1806 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1807 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1808
1809 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1810 file sbr/seq_print.c
1811
1812 * flist will now update the current folder.
1813
1814 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1815 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1816 but now undocumented.
1817
1818 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1819 traversing folders.
1820
1821 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1822 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1823
1824 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1825
1826 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1827 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1828
1829 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1830
1831 * Released nmh-0.18.
1832
1833 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1834 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1835 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1836
1837 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1838 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1839
1840 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1841 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1842 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1843 previous public/private status.
1844
1845 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1846 correctly.
1847
1848 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1849 private sequences).
1850
1851 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1852 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1853 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1854
1855 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1856 take option to determine whether it should get current
1857 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1858 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1859
1860 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1861
1862 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1863 wait for stopped processes.
1864
1865 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1866 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1867
1868 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1869
1870 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1871
1872 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1873 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1874
1875 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1876 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1877
1878 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1879 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1880 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1881 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1882
1883 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1884 status allocation).
1885
1886 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1887 the code.
1888
1889 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1890
1891 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1892 the debugging output.
1893
1894 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1895 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1896
1897 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1898
1899 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1900
1901 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1902 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1903
1904 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1905
1906 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1907 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1908 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1909 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1910 in the given sequence.
1911
1912 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1913 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1914 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1915 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1916 subdirectories of a given directory.
1917
1918 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1919 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1920 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1921
1922 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1923 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1924
1925 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1926
1927 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1928 to 0700 (was 0711).
1929
1930 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1931 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1932 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1933
1934 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1935 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1936 are calculated at runtime.
1937
1938 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1939
1940 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1941
1942 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1943 about checking for global mh.profile.
1944
1945 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1946 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1947 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1948 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1949 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1950 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1951
1952 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1953 adding message to folder itself.
1954
1955 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1956 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1957 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1958 instead of exiting.
1959
1960 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1961 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1962 the error EEXIST.
1963
1964 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1965 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1966 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1967
1968 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1969 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1970
1971 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1972 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1973 code to use it yet).

1976
1977 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1978
1979 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1980 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1981
1982 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1983 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1984
1985 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1986
1987 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1988 to folder_addmsg.c

2015 configuration files.
2016
2017 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

2021 * Released nmh-0.17.
2022
2023 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2024
2025 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2026 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2027
2028 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2029 defined.
2030
2031 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed

2035 number of refiled message.
2036

2049
2050 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2051
2052 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2053 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2054 deal with binary messages, yet).
2055
2056 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2057
2058 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2059
2060 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2061 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2062 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2063 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2064 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2065 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2066
2067 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2068 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2069
2070 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2071 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2077 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2078
2079 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2080

2082 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2083 composition files.
2084
2085 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2086 files.
2087
2088 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2089
2090 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2091 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2092 which used unsigned chars by default.
2093
2094 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2095
2096 * Released nmh-0.15.
2097

2100
2101 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2102
2103 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2104
2105 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2106 return 0.
2107
2108 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2109 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2110 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2111
2112 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2113 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2114
2115 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2116
2117 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2118 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2119
2120 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2121 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2122 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2123 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2124
2125 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2126 and put in own subroutine.
2127
2128 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2129 and put in own subroutine.
2130
2131 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2132 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2133 refile.c to use new routine.
2134

2140 seq_getnum.
2141
2142 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2143 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2144 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2145
2146 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2147 no longer used.
2148
2149 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2150 adding message to sequence.
2151
2152 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2153 corresponding file in sbr.
2154
2155 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2156 file in sbr.
2157
2158 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2159
2160 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2161 all selected messages from a sequence.
2162
2163 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2164 selected messages to a sequence.
2165
2166 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2167 and m_seqok.c.

2192
2193 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2194 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2195 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2196 environment variable.
2197
2198 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2199 draft folder facility in nmh.
2200
2201 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2202 to fmt_compile.h.
2203
2204 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
2205 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
2206 fmt_addr.c.
2207
2208 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2209 options.
2210

2212
2213 * Released nmh-0.13.
2214
2215 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2216 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2217 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2218 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2219 to MAXARGS).
2220
2221 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2222 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2223
2224 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2225
2226 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2227 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2228
2229 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2230
2231 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2232 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2233
2234 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2235
2236 * Released nmh-0.12.

2242 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2243
2244 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2245 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2246
2247 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2248 mp->attrstats with macros.
2249
2250 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2251 in msh.c instead.
2252
2253 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2254 to hide dd->dd_fd.
2255
2256 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2257 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2258
2259 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2260 will suppress the display of the message header.
2261
2262 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2263
2264 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2265 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.

2272
2273 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2274 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2275
2276 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2277 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2278
2279 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2280
2281 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2282
2283 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2284 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2285
2286 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2287 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

2303 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2304 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2305
2306 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2307 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2308
2309 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2330 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2331
2332 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2333
2334 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2335 From MH-6.8.4 diff.
2336
2337 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2338
2339 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2340
2341 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2342 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2343
2344 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2345
2346 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2347 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2348
2349 * Released nmh-0.08.
2350
2351 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2352 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2353 locking database itself.
2354
2355 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2356
2357 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2358
2359 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2360 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2361 option.
2362
2363 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2364 rather than mmdf format.
2365
2366 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2367 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2368 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2369 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2370
2371 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2372
2373 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2374
2375 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2376 added to packf.
2377
2378 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2379 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2380 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2381
2382 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2383 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2384 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2385
2386 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2387
2388 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2389 can still easily change this in config.h).
2390
2391 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2392 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2393 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2394
2395 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2396
2397 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2398 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2411 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2412 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2413
2414 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2415 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2416 on SCO 5.x.
2417
2418 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2419 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2420
2421 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2422 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2423
2424 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2425
2426 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2427
2428 * Added configure check for tzset.

2431
2432 * Released nmh-0.06.
2433
2434 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2435 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2436
2437 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2438 many such machines around anymore.
2439
2440 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2441 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2442
2443 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2444 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2445
2446 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2449 pre-generated version if necessary.
2450
2451 * Released nmh-0.05.
2452
2453 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2454 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2455 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2456 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2457
2458 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2459 be linked in one pass.
2460
2461 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2462
2463 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2464 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2465
2466 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2467
2468 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2469
2470 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2471
2472 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2473 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2474 become the current folder.
2475
2476 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2477
2478 * Released nmh-0.04.
2479
2480 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2481 it.
2482
2483 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2484
2485 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2486 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2487 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2488
2489 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2490
2491 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2492 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2493
2494 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2495
2496 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2497 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2498 using POP.
2499
2500 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2501 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2502
2503 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2504
2505 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2506 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2507 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2508 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2509 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2510 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2511
2512 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2513
2514 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2515 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2516
2517 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2518 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2519
2520 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2521
2522 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2523 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2524
2525 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2526
2527 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2528 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2529 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2530
2531 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2532
2533 * Released nmh-0.03.
2534
2535 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2536 .mh_sequence file existed.
2537
2538 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2539 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2540
2541 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2542 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2543 man page.
2544
2545 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2546
2547 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2548 flist man page.
2549
2550 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2551
2552 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2553 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2554 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2555
2556 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2557
2558 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2559 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2560 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2561
2562 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2563
2564 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2565 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2566
2567 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2568
2569 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2570
2571 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2572 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2573 directory from where the source code is located.
2574
2575 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2576
2577 * Released nmh-0.02.
2578
2579 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2580
2581 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2582 and rcvtty.
2583
2584 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2585
2586 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2587 and sys_nerr directly.
2588
2589 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2590
2591 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2592
2593 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2594
2595 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2596
2597 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2598 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2599 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2600 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2601 rather than in script.
2602
2603 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2604
2605 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2606
2607 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2608 macro defined on Solaris.
2609
2610 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2611
2612 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2613 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2614
2615 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2616 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2617 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2618 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2619 options if enabled.
2620
2621 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2622
2623 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2624 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2625
2626 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2627 correctly found.
2628
2629 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2630
2631 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2632
2633 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2634 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2635
2636 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2637
2638 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2639 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2640
2641 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2642
2643 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2644 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2645 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2646 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2647 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2648 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2649
2650 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2651
2652 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2653
2654 * Released nmh-0.01.
2655
2656 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2657 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2658 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2659 have POSIX signals.
2660
2661 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2662
2663 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2664 their man pages.
2665
2666 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2667
2668 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2669 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2670
2671 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2672
2673 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2674 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2675 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2676 script to find_program.
2677
2678 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2679
2680 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2681 speed up -recurse option.
2682
2683 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2684 yet, but it compiles :-)
2685
2686 * Changed default location for install to
2687 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2688 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2689 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2690 level Makefile.
2691
2692 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2693 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2694 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
