[nmh] / ChangeLog
1 Tue May 09 00:11:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2
3 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
4 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
5 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).

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

1559
1560 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1561
1562 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1563 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

1566
1567 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1568

1579 configuration files.
1580
1581 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1582
1583 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1585 * Released nmh-0.17.
1586
1587 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1588
1589 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1590 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1591
1592 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1593 defined.
1594
1595 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1596 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1597

1599 number of refiled message.
1600
1601 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.

1612 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1613
1614 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1615
1616 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1617 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1618 deal with binary messages, yet).
1619
1620 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1621
1622 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1623
1624 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1625 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1626 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1627 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1628 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1629 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1630
1631 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1632 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1633
1634 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1635 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1636
1637 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1638 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and

1640
1641 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1642
1643 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1644
1645 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1646 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1647 composition files.
1648
1649 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1650 files.
1651
1652 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1653
1654 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1655 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1656 which used unsigned chars by default.
1657
1658 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1659
1660 * Released nmh-0.15.
1661
1662 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1663 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1664
1665 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1666
1667 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1668
1669 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1670 return 0.
1671
1672 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1673 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1674 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1675
1676 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1677 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1678
1679 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1680
1681 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1682 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1683
1684 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1685 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1686 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1687 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1688
1689 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1690 and put in own subroutine.
1691
1692 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1693 and put in own subroutine.
1694
1695 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1696 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1697 refile.c to use new routine.
1698

1700
1701 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1702
1703 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1704 seq_getnum.
1705
1706 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1707 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1708 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1709
1710 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1711 no longer used.
1712
1713 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1714 adding message to sequence.
1715
1716 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
1717 corresponding file in sbr.
1718
1719 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
1720 file in sbr.
1721
1722 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
1723
1724 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
1725 all selected messages from a sequence.
1726
1727 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
1728 selected messages to a sequence.
1729
1730 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1731 and m_seqok.c.

1746 MH-6.8.4 distribution.
1747
1748 Fri May 2 15:24:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1749
1750 * Released nmh-0.14.

1753 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
1754
1755 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1756
1757 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
1758 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
1759 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
1760 environment variable.
1761
1762 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
1763 draft folder facility in nmh.
1764
1765 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
1766 to fmt_compile.h.
1767
1768 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
1769 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
1770 fmt_addr.c.
1771
1772 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
1773 options.
1774
1775 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1776
1777 * Released nmh-0.13.
1778
1779 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1780 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1781 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1782 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1783 to MAXARGS).
1784
1785 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
1786 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
1787
1788 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1789
1790 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
1791 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
1792
1793 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1794
1795 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
1796 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
1797
1798 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1799
1800 * Released nmh-0.12.

1805
1806 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1807
1808 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
1809 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
1810
1811 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
1812 mp->attrstats with macros.
1813
1814 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
1815 in msh.c instead.
1816
1817 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
1818 to hide dd->dd_fd.
1819
1820 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
1821 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
1822
1823 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
1824 will suppress the display of the message header.
1825
1826 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1827
1828 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
1829 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
1830
1831 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
1832
1833 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
1834
1835 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
1836
1837 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
1838 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
1839
1840 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
1841 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
1842
1843 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
1844
1845 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1846
1847 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1848 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1849
1850 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
1851 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

1860 by default.
1861
1862 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1863
1864 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
1865 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
1866
1867 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
1868 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
1869
1870 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
1871 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
1872
1873 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1876 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
1877
1878 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1879

1891 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
1892 <sys/ioctl.h>.
1893
1894 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
1895
1896 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1897
1898 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
1899 From MH-6.8.4 diff.
1900
1901 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1902
1903 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
1904
1905 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
1906 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
1907
1908 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1909
1910 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
1911 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
1912
1913 * Released nmh-0.08.
1914
1915 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
1916 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
1917 locking database itself.
1918
1919 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1920
1921 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
1922
1923 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
1924 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
1925 option.
1926
1927 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1928 rather than mmdf format.
1929
1930 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
1931 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
1932 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
1933 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
1934
1935 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
1936
1937 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1938
1939 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
1940 added to packf.
1941
1942 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1943 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1944 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
1945
1946 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1947 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1948 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
1949
1950 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1951
1952 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
1953 can still easily change this in config.h).
1954
1955 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
1956 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
1957 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
1958
1959 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1960
1961 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
1962 than tzset and external timezone variable.
1963

1965
1966 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.

1971 * Released nmh-0.07.
1972
1973 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1974
1975 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
1976 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
1977
1978 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
1979 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
1980 on SCO 5.x.
1981
1982 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
1983 built-in FTP client in mhn.
1984
1985 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
1986 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
1987
1988 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
1989
1990 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
1991
1992 * Added configure check for tzset.
1993
1994 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1995
1996 * Released nmh-0.06.
1997
1998 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
1999 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2000
2001 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2002 many such machines around anymore.
2003
2004 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2005 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2006
2007 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants

2011
2012 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2013 pre-generated version if necessary.
2014
2015 * Released nmh-0.05.
2016
2017 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2018 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2019 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2020 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2021
2022 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2023 be linked in one pass.
2024
2025 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2026
2027 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2028 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2029
2030 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2031
2032 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.

2034 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2035
2036 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2037 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2038 become the current folder.
2039
2040 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2048
2049 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2050 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2051 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2052
2053 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2054
2055 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2056 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2057
2058 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2059
2060 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2061 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2062 using POP.
2063
2064 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2065 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2066
2067 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2068
2069 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2070 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2071 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2072 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2073 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2074 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2075
2076 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2077
2078 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2079 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2080
2081 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2082 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2083
2084 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2085
2086 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2087 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2088
2089 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2090
2091 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2092 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2093 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2094
2095 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2096
2097 * Released nmh-0.03.
2098
2099 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2100 .mh_sequence file existed.
2101
2102 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2103 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2104
2105 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2106 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2107 man page.
2108
2109 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2110

2112 flist man page.
2113
2114 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2115
2116 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2117 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2118 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2119
2120 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2121
2122 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2123 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2124 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2125
2126 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2127
2128 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL

2130
2131 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2132
2133 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2134
2135 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2136 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2137 directory from where the source code is located.
2138
2139 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2159 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2160
2161 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2162 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2163 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2164 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2165 rather than in script.
2166
2167 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2168
2169 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2170
2171 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2172 macro defined on Solaris.
2173
2174 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2175
2176 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2177 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2178
2179 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2180 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2181 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2182 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2183 options if enabled.
2184
2185 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2186
2187 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2188 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2189
2190 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2191 correctly found.
2192
2193 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2194
2195 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2196

2198 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2199
2200 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2201
2202 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2203 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2204
2205 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2206
2207 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2208 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2209 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2210 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2211 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2212 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2213
2214 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2215
2216 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2217
2218 * Released nmh-0.01.
2219
2220 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2221 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2222 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2223 have POSIX signals.
2224
2225 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2226
2227 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2228 their man pages.
2229
2230 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2231
2232 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2233 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2234
2235 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2236
2237 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2238 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2239 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2240 script to find_program.
2241
2242 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2243
2244 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2245 speed up -recurse option.
2246
2247 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2248 yet, but it compiles :-)
2249
2250 * Changed default location for install to
2251 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2252 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2253 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2254 level Makefile.
2255
2256 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2257 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2258 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
