   1 Things to add to the release notes for the next full release:
   2
   3 ------------
   4 NEW FEATURES
   5 ------------
   6
   7 - The default editor has been changed from 'vi' to 'prompter', to align with
   8   historical practice and reduce packaging dependencies on external programs.
   9 - A new -checkbase64 switch to mhfixmsg(1).
  10 - inc(1)/msgchk(1) now support STARTTLS for the POP protocol.
  11 - All TLS-supported protocols now will send the SNI (server name indicator)
  12   TLS extension.
  13
  14 -----------------
  15 OBSOLETE FEATURES
  16 -----------------
  17
  18 - The MIME content cache functionality has been mostly non-functional since
  19   the development on nmh, and consequently all of the content caching code
  20   and related switches (-cache/-rcache/-wcache) have been removed.
  21 - Support for generating and reassembling message/partial messags has been
  22   removed; it seems that this has been broken since 1.5 and there is very
  23   little support across MUAs.
  24
  25 -------------------
  26 DEPRECATED FEATURES
  27 -------------------
  28
  29 - The generation and verification of Content-MD5 headers is no longer
  30   performed.  The -check and -nocheck switches to various nmh programs
  31   that would control this functionality still exist, but are non-functional
  32   and will be removed in the next release.
  33
  34 ---------
  35 BUG FIXES
  36 ---------
  37
  38 - Fixed bcc to work with sendmail/pipe, and better documented that dcc
  39   doesn't work with it [Bug 55700].
  40 - An -attendee switch has been added to mhical(1), for use when more than one
  41   (or zero) attendees match a user's mailbox.
  42 - Fixed inc(1) and %(me) function escape to not obey Local-Mailbox profile
  43   component.
