   1 Things to add to the release notes for the next full release:
   2
   3 ------------
   4 NEW FEATURES
   5 ------------
   6
   7 - builds use OpenSSL if available.
   8 - post now defaults to port 587 on 'smtp' message submission.
   9 - A value of 0 for the width switch of scan(1), inc(1), ap(1), dp(1),
  10   fmttest(1), and mhl(1) now means as many characters as the format
  11   engine can produce [Bug #15274].  That amount is limited by internal
  12   buffers.
  13 - If a component has trailing whitespace, e.g., body:component="> ",
  14   mhl now trims that whitespace off when filtering blank text lines.
  15 - An "rtrim" flag has been added to mhl to remove any trailing
  16   whitespace from filtered text lines.  A corresponding "nortrim" flag
  17   has also been added.
  18 - The default locations for configuration files and suppoooort binaries
  19   have been changed.  Configuration files now install into ${sysconfdir}/nmh,
  20   and support binaries are placed in ${libexecdir}/nmh.  If you are upgrading
  21   an existing installation you should look for old configuration files in
  22   ${sysconfdir} and merge any local customizations into the new files in
  23   ${sysconfdir}/nmh, then remove the old files.  ${libdir} will also contain
  24   obsolete support programs that should be removed.
  25 - When building from source, configure will derive ${prefix} from an existing
  26   nmh installation if it finds one in your $PATH.
  27 - Added getmymbox and getmyaddr mh-format(5) function escapes.

  41 -------------------
  42 DEPRECATED FEATURES
  43 -------------------
  44
  45 - Support for the MHPDEBUG environment variable is deprecated and will be
  46   removed from a future nmh release.  Instead, use the -debug switch to pick.
  47 - With the move of support binaries from ${libdir} to ${libexecdir}/nmh, the
  48   mostly undocumented 'libdir' mhparam(1) component has been replaced by a
  49   new 'libexecdir' component.  'libdir' will be removed in a future release.

  52 BUG FIXES
  53 ---------
  54
  55 - The format scanner no longer subtracts 1 from the width.  This has the
  56   effect of no longer counting the trailing newline in the output of
  57   scan(1), inc(1), and the other programs that rely on the format scanner.
