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

1551 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1552
1553 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1554
1555 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1556 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1557 deal with binary messages, yet).
1558
1559 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1560
1561 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1562
1563 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1564 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1565 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1566 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1567 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1568 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1569
1570 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1571 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1572
1573 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1574 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1575
1576 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1577 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1578 MH-6.8.4 patch).
1579
1580 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1581
1582 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1583
1584 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1585 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1586 composition files.
1587
1588 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1589 files.
1590
1591 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1592
1593 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1594 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1595 which used unsigned chars by default.
1596
1597 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1598
1599 * Released nmh-0.15.
1600
1601 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1602 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1603
1604 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1605
1606 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1607
1608 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1609 return 0.
1610
1611 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1612 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1613 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1614
1615 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1616 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1617
1618 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1619
1620 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1621 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1622
1623 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1624 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1625 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1626 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1627
1628 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1629 and put in own subroutine.
1630
1631 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1632 and put in own subroutine.
1633
1634 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1635 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1636 refile.c to use new routine.
1637

1639
1640 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1641
1642 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1643 seq_getnum.
1644
1645 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1646 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1647 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1648
1649 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1650 no longer used.
1651
1652 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1653 adding message to sequence.
1654
1655 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
1656 corresponding file in sbr.
1657
1658 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
1659 file in sbr.
1660
1661 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
1662
1663 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
1664 all selected messages from a sequence.
1665
1666 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
1667 selected messages to a sequence.
1668
1669 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1670 and m_seqok.c.

1684 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
1685 MH-6.8.4 distribution.
1686
1687 Fri May 2 15:24:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1688
1689 * Released nmh-0.14.

1692 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
1693
1694 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1695
1696 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
1697 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
1698 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
1699 environment variable.
1700
1701 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
1702 draft folder facility in nmh.
1703
1704 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
1705 to fmt_compile.h.
1706
1707 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
1708 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
1709 fmt_addr.c.
1710
1711 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
1712 options.
1713
1714 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1715
1716 * Released nmh-0.13.
1717
1718 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1719 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1720 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1721 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1722 to MAXARGS).
1723
1724 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
1725 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
1726
1727 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1728
1729 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
1730 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
1731
1732 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1733
1734 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
1735 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
1736
1737 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1738
1739 * Released nmh-0.12.
1740
1741 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
1742

1744
1745 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1746
1747 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
1748 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
1749
1750 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
1751 mp->attrstats with macros.
1752
1753 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
1754 in msh.c instead.
1755
1756 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
1757 to hide dd->dd_fd.
1758
1759 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
1760 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
1761
1762 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
1763 will suppress the display of the message header.
1764
1765 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1766
1767 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
1768 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
1769
1770 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
1771
1772 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
1773
1774 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
1775
1776 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
1777 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
1778
1779 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
1780 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
1781
1782 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
1783
1784 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1785
1786 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1787 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1788
1789 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
1790 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

1792 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1793
1794 * Released nmh-0.10.

1799 by default.
1800
1801 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1802
1803 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
1804 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
1805
1806 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
1807 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
1808
1809 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
1810 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
1811
1812 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1813
1814 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
1815 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
1816
1817 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1818
1819 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
1820 of missing tabs in regex.
1821

1824 * Released nmh-0.09.
1825
1826 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
1827
1828 * Add configure check for killpg.
1829
1830 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and

1832
1833 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
1834
1835 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1836
1837 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
1838 From MH-6.8.4 diff.
1839
1840 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1841
1842 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
1843
1844 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
1845 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
1846
1847 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1848
1849 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
1850 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
1851
1852 * Released nmh-0.08.
1853
1854 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
1855 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
1856 locking database itself.
1857
1858 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1859
1860 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
1861
1862 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
1863 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
1864 option.
1865
1866 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1867 rather than mmdf format.
1868
1869 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
1870 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
1871 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
1872 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
1873
1874 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
1875
1876 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1877
1878 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
1879 added to packf.
1880
1881 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1882 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1883 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
1884
1885 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1886 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1887 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
1888
1889 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1890
1891 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
1892 can still easily change this in config.h).
1893
1894 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
1895 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
1896 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
1897
1898 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1899
1900 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
1901 than tzset and external timezone variable.
1902
1903 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1904
1905 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.

1911
1912 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1913
1914 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
1915 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
1916
1917 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
1918 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
1919 on SCO 5.x.
1920
1921 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
1922 built-in FTP client in mhn.
1923
1924 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
1925 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
1926
1927 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
1928
1929 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
1930
1931 * Added configure check for tzset.
1932
1933 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1934
1935 * Released nmh-0.06.
1936
1937 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
1938 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
1939
1940 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
1941 many such machines around anymore.
1942
1943 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
1944 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
1945
1946 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
1947 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
1948
1949 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1950
1951 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
1952 pre-generated version if necessary.
1953
1954 * Released nmh-0.05.
1955
1956 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
1957 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
1958 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
1959 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
1960
1961 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
1962 be linked in one pass.
1963
1964 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1965
1966 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
1967 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
1968
1969 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1970
1971 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
1972
1973 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1974
1975 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
1976 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
1977 become the current folder.
1978
1979 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1980
1981 * Released nmh-0.04.
1982

1984 it.
1985
1986 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1987
1988 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
1989 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
1990 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
1991
1992 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1993
1994 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
1995 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
1996
1997 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1998
1999 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2000 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2001 using POP.
2002
2003 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2004 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2005
2006 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2007
2008 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2009 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2010 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2011 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2012 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2013 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2014
2015 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2016
2017 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2018 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2019
2020 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2021 a file (currently need to specify full path).

2025 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2026 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2027
2028 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2029
2030 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2031 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2032 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2033
2034 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2036 * Released nmh-0.03.
2037
2038 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2039 .mh_sequence file existed.
2040
2041 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2042 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2043
2044 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2045 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2046 man page.
2047
2048 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2049
2050 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up

2052
2053 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2054
2055 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2056 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2057 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.

2059 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2060
2061 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2062 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2063 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2064
2065 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2066
2067 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL

2069
2070 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2071
2072 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2073
2074 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2075 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2076 directory from where the source code is located.
2077
2078 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2100 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2101 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2102 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path

2104 rather than in script.
2105
2106 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2107
2108 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2109
2110 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2111 macro defined on Solaris.
2112
2113 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2114
2115 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2116 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2117
2118 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2119 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2120 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2121 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2122 options if enabled.
2123
2124 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2125
2126 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2127 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2128
2129 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2130 correctly found.
2131
2132 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2133
2134 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2135
2136 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2137 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2138
2139 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2140
2141 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2142 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2143
2144 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2145
2146 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2147 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2148 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2149 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2150 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2151 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2152
2153 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2154
2155 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2156
2157 * Released nmh-0.01.
2158
2159 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2160 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2161 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2162 have POSIX signals.
2163
2164 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2165
2166 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2167 their man pages.
2168
2169 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2170
2171 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2172 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2173
2174 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2175
2176 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2177 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2178 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2179 script to find_program.
2180
2181 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2182
2183 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2184 speed up -recurse option.
2185
2186 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2187 yet, but it compiles :-)
2188
2189 * Changed default location for install to
2190 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2191 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2192 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2193 level Makefile.
2194
2195 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2196 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2197 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
